called to examine the man. He pro-
nounced the driver under the inf1u-
ence of liquor. Bohacs gave the

JUDGE LYON IS
ROTARY SPEAKER
Tells of Bankruptcy Law and
Discusses Its Abuses--Se
eraI Visitors Present

Judge Adrian Lyon addressed the
Rotarians at their weekly luncheon
at the New Packer House at noon
today on the bankruptcy law. There
was a big attendance with several
visitors from out of town. A dele
cation was present from the Newark
Rotary Club urging large repre-
sentation from Perth Amboy at the
inter-city meeting in Newark next
week.
Judge Lyons address was in the
nature of an extension of remarks
made by a representative of the
credit mems association who spoke
before the Rotarians few weeks
ago. At that time some of the
abuses in bankruptcy were dweIt
upon. Judge Lyon, today, while ad-
hitting such abuses have crept In.
told how the law was established
and showed that it had its good
points as well as evil features.
Whereas the evil most dwelt upon
by the previous speaker was with
reference to INSCRIPTIONS lawyers
getting creditors to force certain
men into bankruptcy so as to col
lect the fees that go with such pro-
cedure, Judge Lyon said that an
abuse equally as great was the case
Of the man who sought bankruptcy
to escape paying his honest deh;s
and who concealed his assets from
the court.
A brrer comparison was made be-
tween the methods of procedure in
the court OF chancery and the
court. The chance,y
court, Judge Lyons said, had a
more simple and direct way
of reaching it's conclusions and was
less expensive.
The remedy for the evil In the
court, according to
Judge Lyons, was to be fourd
largely in the court itself by the
strict enforcement of the rules ana
the application of the law in every
phase. Congress is reluctant IN
meddle with the law and there are
in bringing about
charges, but honesty and fair deal.
ing will go long way toward re-
moving the evils that exist.
