counsel should be compelled to sub
NIT detailed report Of their work in
seeking compensation. 1t was agreed
by the chancellor that such might be
an excellent idea, though he express
ed view that in some instances 1t
might prove an irksome task.
AS special counsel for the Chamber
Of Commerce Robert H. McCarter
spoke at length in favor of the
changes, citing several cases in which
he said great loss had resulted from
the unnecessary appointment of re-
ceivers. He told of one instance in
which a landlord and mortgage of a
property had been withstrained for a
month by an injunction order and
then called to share in the payment
of fees totaling between 5000 and
$4,000 when the order was dismissed
for lack of cause.
Prefacing his remarks with the as
sertion that he was a plain-spoken
man, Uzal McCarter, member Of the
trade body committee, advocated the
disbarment of any lawyer bringing re-
ownership proceedings to gain APP
pointment as counsel to the receiF-
ers. In that manner. he declared, :
much of the present abuse would be
eliminated. Chancellor Walker. how
ever, was of the opinion that rule
of that sort could easily be circum-
vented by lawyer desiring to brins
receivership action delegating the
task to junior member of the bar
and remaining in the background UNI
til the matter of appointing counsel
to the receiver was reached.
In concluding the discussion, Chan
cellor Walker pointed out that, OF
course, 1t was not the practice of the
court to throttle or destroy corpora
lions, but rather to foster such enter
prises, though he did admit that there.
might be instances in which the court
was deceived and led to act unwisely.
He expressed appreciation of the PEI
titioners bringing the matter to his
attention and voiced regret that the
business men Of any community
should entertain the belief that their
rights were being invaded.
Federal Court to Act Also

ruptcy and receivership practice in
New Jersey, according To letter
from Chief Justice Taft, received by
Joseph G. Wolber, secretary of the
Essex County Lawyers Club. Chief

Dixie Hounds Lead Coon Hunters
Progeny of some of the Southland's
greatest coon hunting hounds have
been brought into New Jersey by resi-
dent sportsmen this year for the pro-
motion of the sport in this state. I'm
der the protection of long closed
season. raccoons are said to be fairly
numerous in the woodlands. Hunters,
enthusiastic at prospect of revival
of this nocturnal pastime, are hasten
trained to follow the strenuous trail
this willy animal can be depended
upon to leave for its pursuers.
Although the open season, from Oc-
tober / to December Is, is still young,
fall nights. with first touches of frost,
find quite a few hunters following the
baying hounds, while other hunters
are kept from the thrilling sport only
by the lack of the proper dogs. Jer'
sey hounds are said to quickly learn
the tricks of coon hunting from
southern dogs imported to lead the
packs on the trail.
Rearing of Quail
On it's own game farm next spring
the New Jersey Fish and Game Com
mission will inaugurate project to-
raise quail for the restocking of hunt
ing grounds OF the state. Previous
efforts to import bob whites from
southern and western states have not
met with great success, and where
such birds have been brought in and
liberated it is the opinion of many
sportsmen that they soon migrated
southwark or persisted before they be-
came acclimated.
Commissioners believe that quail 4
can be reared in semicaptivity as are
ring-neck pheasants, many thousands
of which are now raised on the game
farms and turned out annually in all
parts of the state for restocking. The
game farm at Forked river. in the
center of natural habitat for the
birds, has been selected for the quaii-
raising experiment. superintendent
Malcolm Dunn. who has successfully
raised numerous covies in recent
years. is planning for the Wholesale
project.
The quail will be reared from ma
tive stock, which is strong and Wig
| orous. and will not migrate Protec-
