Bangor, Me, May 21.-By decision
of Judge Clarence Hale of the United
States district court, handed down
Saturday, John l. Frederick of Win
terport is adjudged a bankrupt, the
court agreeing with Bankruptcy Ref
cree Mason that the man was not
chiefly engaged in farming or the

This case excited much interest all
over Maine last February, when bank
ruptcy adjudication proceedings took
place before Referee John r. Mason
in Bangor. Counsel for the respond
ent maintained that Frederick had
been chiefly engaged in farming and
vas therefore exempt from bank
ruptcy. Creditors contended that till
age of the soil was merely a side
business of Frederick Ellery Bowden
Of Winterport was counsel for Fred
erlck aud Bertram L. Fletcher of Ban
gor for the creditors
Later Referee Mason filed his re-
port with Judge Hale. 1t was to the
effect that Frederick was not engaged
chiefly in farming. but thai this pur-
suit was of subsidiary nature. On
May 13 counsel argued before Judge
Hale in Portland ard the courts opin-
Jon upheld the conclusion of Referee
Mason.
Frederick's liabilities amount of $72.-
00G and his creditors are scattered all
over Maine and Massachusetts,.
