Mrs. Rollison says Il have had
severe kidney trouble for the past six

The general could not make so eX-
tended a trip as this, but gladly ac-
cepted me invitation to ride over the
road. possibly as far as Montreal,
certainly to Ottawa.
Never had the management of the
Canadian Pacific a guest who was so
greatly interested in all that appcr-
tanned to the building of the road
aud especially in the achievements
of the engineers who by unsurpassed
engineering carried the line over the
various mountain ranges as Gen.
Sherman appeared to be-
He was enthusiastic in his COM
ments upon the construction of this
road When he was told that the builder
of the road that is to say the actual
physical construction of IL. was the
work of William Van Horne. who
was knighted by the queen of Eng
land in recognition of his services,
the general seemed TO have some rec
objection awakened by the mention of
that name. He thought Il had ia
miliar sound. He made some in
quiries and learned that William Van
Horne was born in Illinois and while
young man was trained in practi-
cal ralroading and that when the
Canadian Pacific Company was
searching for some competent man
to place in supreme charge of the
construction. James T. Hill recon-
mended William Van Horne.
At last. Gen. Sherman placed Sir
William Van Horne. He remembered
that at the time his army was ad-
vancing toward Atlanta il was neces-
I sary that there be repairs made TO a
railroad. It was known that in the
army we're men who had made excel
lent records as locomotive engineers
and also as civil engineers. some of
whom had been employed m railroad
construction. Among those who were
called upon to undertake the work of
repairing the railroad was a young
soldier of Illinois named William Van
Horne.
His work was so we'll done that the
attention of Gen. Sherman was called
to it, and he spoke in praise of it.
That young soldier who repaired the
railroad for Gen. Sherman was the
same person who afterward built the
Canadian Pacific Railroad. And Gen

bic and might result in improving the
practice, reducing costs and ex-
pediting results.
With all Of these suggestions in
mind, il is the general opinion OF
those who have studied the matter
that the greatest fault with the bank
ruptcy law is directly due TO the at
tiude Of creditors. Their habit OF
turning claims over to collecting
agencies or to attorneys and prompt
ly forgetting about them until divi-
dends reach them is so pernicious
that they have no right to criticize
the meagerness OF the dividends that
usually follow.
There may be some excuse for the

Chairman Investigation Commit

Chairman Investigation Committee,
Phila. Credit Mems Association.
The question Of the value Of the
present bankruptcy law has been
given attention by many associations
Of business men since its enactment,
and opinions have ranged from an un-
qualified demand for the repeal of
the law in toto TO an equally unquali-
fed indorsement.
The trend OF present day opinion
seems 10 he that the bankruptcy law
as it stands is better for creditors
than any of its predecessors, that the
debtor is entitled to the relief that II
affords. and that with all its faults. 1t
is infinitely to be preferred to a re-
turn TO the old days of the snap
judgments" with the accompaniment
of unjust and inequitable preferences
that made the life of the credit man
an unholy nightmare before its en-
actment
That it can be improved requires
no argument, for no business law
can be drafted that will meet the ever
changing conditions indefinitely, nor
is it likely that any law will be draft
ed that is so perfect that the shrewd,
or INSCRIPTIONS. lawyers cannot find
ways 20 circumvent it.
Three Changes Necessary.
Careful consideration of the pro-
posed amendments develops the fact
that many of them are advanced to
overcome objections that are local in
their application and they should be
rejected for that reason. The busi-
ness man has come to recognize the
advantage of uniform laws for all the
States as opposed to the confusion
resulting from laws that apply only
10 the individual State and 10 the
business transacted therein.
OF the amendment proposed those
that seem to be most necessary at thi
time may he classified as follows:
First. The reduction OF the costs
of administering bankrupt estates by
consolidating the offices Of the re
ceiver and the trustees so that the
estate will be obliged to bear the ox
pense Of but one Office and its lega
adviser Granting statutory fees tC
petitioning attorneys and to the attor

case and the case in which there il

Second. Increasing the difficulty o
obtaining a discharge by requiring
/ the bankrupt to prove TO the salts
faction Of the referee that he is no
at fault. on the safe principle that th
petitioner in "A court OF equity mus
come into court with clean hands"
Third. Changing the penal sec
tions Of the law TO afford better IA
cilities for the prosecution OF con
mcrcial fraud. Making the testlmon
of the bankrupt voluntary act an
removing the clause prohibiting In
use Of his testimony in other cour
proceedings.

advanced that are worthy Of consiC
