Extended powers are given by the law for the taking possession and the administration of the assets; among others, to allow and disallow all ciaims against bankrupt estates, ap- point receivers and take the neces- sary measures for the preservation and charge of the property of a bank- rupt; to arraign, try and punish bank- rupts, officers and other persons and the agents, officers, members of the board of directors or trustees or other similar bodies of corporations for violation of the act; to authorize the business of the bankrupt to be conducted for limited periods; to cause the assets to be collected and reduced to money and distributed, and substantially determine all coll- troversies in relation thereto; to en- force obedience to lawful orders by fine or imprisonment, and to extra- dite bankrupts from one district to another.
The proceeding once inaugurated by the fiiing of a petition by the bankrupt and the adjudication in bankruptcy having been made, the court proceeds to take charge of the bankrupt's property, and administer the same for the benefit of the credi- tors, and determine all questions which may arise in regard to the rights of the bankrupt or the credi- tors, either as against the bankrupt or as between themseives, in accord- ance with
the above-prescribed powers. A trustee Is appointed, either selected by the creditors at a
meeting called for that purpose or, in case they fail to select a trustee, one is appointed by the court. His duty is to collect the property, realize on the same in such manner as may be for the best interests of all con- corned, and ultimately distribute the same among the creditors in such proportions as they may be adjudi- cated to be entitled thereto.
A's ali questlons, both of law and fact, in relation to the property or the rights of the various parties must be decided in the bankruptcy proceeding, it is provided that ief- erees be appointed, who are charged with the duty of hearing the allega- tlons and testimony of all parties and deciding ali such questions as may arise. Each case, as it comes up, is assigned to some referee, whose duty it is to adjudicate and pass upon ali such questions arising therein in the first instance, the right being re- served to any parties to appeal from the decision of the referee to the ·
United States District Court.
The duties of the referee are sub- stantially of a judietai character, and he occupies much the position of a judge of primary resort, subject to an appeal to the court, and is re- quired to take the same oath of of- fice as that prescribed for judges of the United States courts. By Section 38 of the act, the referee is invested with jurisdiction to consider all peti- tions referred to him by the clerks, make adjudications or dismiss the pe- tition; exercise the powers vested in courts of bankruptcy for the admin- Istering of oaths to and the examina- tion of witnesses, and for requiring the production of documents in pro- ceedings before liim, except "the power of commitment, and, in the absence of the judge, to exercise all his powers for taking possession and releasing the property of a bankrupt, and to perform such part of the du- ties of the courts of bankruptcy as they may prescribe by rules and or- ders, excepting only questions arising on applications of bankrupts for compositions or discharges.
Ali questions in regard to the prop- erty or assets or rights of the credi- tors and persons interested come be- fore the referee for hearing and de- termination, subject to the right of appeal. After the rights of all par- tles have been ascertained and deter- mined, and the property has been realized upon, It is distributed among the creditors.
Provision is made in the act for ai- lowing bankrupts to compromise or settle with their creditors by a pro- ceeding known as composition pro- ceedings, whereby, if a bankrupt and a majority of hls creditors agree upon some basis of settlement, the

same, if approved by the court, shall become binding upon all creditors. The decision of the question as to the approval of compositions and grant- ing discharges to a bankrupt from his debts is specifically reserved by the act to the judges of the United States courts; but the eourt, by vir- tue of its general powers, may refer such matters to the referee to take testimony and report to the court his opinion thereon.
The aim of the aet has been to make the expense of the proceedings depend largely upon the amount of the property involved, and the com- pensation of the referees is fixed sub- stantially at 1 per eent. on the amount distributed to the creditors in ordinary cases, where the assets are distributed by the court, and one-
half of 1 per cent. in composition cases, and the trustees who have charge of the actual management of the bankrupt's property receive as compensation such commissions on amounts paid out by them as divi- dends as the court may allow, not to exceed, however, 3 per cent. on the first $5,000. 2 per cent. on the sec- ond $5,000, and 1 per cent. on all sums in exeess of $10,000.
Detailed provisions are made in the aet for giving notlee to all ereditors and other persons interested in the estate of the pendeney of the pro- eeedings, the payment and declara- tion of dividends and other matters. and providing methods whereby all parties interested may be heard on all Subjects arising in the course of the proceedings.
THE GOVERNOR, THE LEGISLATURE AND THE VOLUNTEER AID.
April 15 Governor Wolcott asked for an appropriation to cover emergencies, and on that date, inside of 25 minutes, the sum of $500.000 was voted, both branches of the Legislature acting, and the governor signing the bill.
June 22 the State voted to give every enlisted man, in addition to his pay from the United States Government. seven dollars per month, the same to continue six months after his death and payable to his heirs, unless the war should end in less time.
June 23 it was voted that the governor be authorized to expend not to exceed $50,000 in the purchase of a hospital ship for the use and comfort of soldiers in the service from Massachusetts. Ac- cordingly the "Bay State" was thus fitted up and sent out by the
VOLUNTEER AID ASSOCIA- TION,
which was officered as follows: Chair- man, Eben S. Draper, Hopedale; Treasurer, Henry L. Higginson, Bos- ton; Secretary, Elihu B. Hayes, Lynn; Executive Committee, Henry L. Hig- ginson, George V. L. Meyer, Eben S. Draper, Patrick A. Collins, Elihu B. Hayes, Sherman Hoar. James Phillips,
Jr., Arnold A. Rand, Charles J. Paine, Robert M. Burnett, T. Jefferson Cool- idge, Jr. Office, Commonwealth Build- ing. 11 Mt. Vernon street.
Women's Committee: President, Mrs. J. Elliot Cabot; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. Roger Wolcott, Mrs. F. T. Greenhalge, Mrs. Wm. E. Russell, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore: Secretary, Miss Lucy Low- ell.
Committee on Organization of Towns: Chairman, Miss E. P. Sohier; Secretary, Mrs. Daniel Lothrop; Miss Alice S. Clement, Mrs. Eben S. Draper, Mrs. Augustus P. Gardner, Mrs. William Hooper. Mrs. Lizabeth A. Turner.
For the purposes of the association money was contributed lavishly by the public. To the general fund was given $178,630; for use at Montauk Point, $35, - 431. or a total of $214,061.
For the equipping of the hospital ship Bay State, and for the relief of soldiers there was expended $147.450, thus leaving a balance of $67,450, whose ultimate disposition has not, as yet. been decided upon. The State's total enlistments were 12,225, of which 2278 were in the navy, 2477 in the regular army, and the remainder, or 7470, in the volunteer service.
Thus in men and means the Common- wealth has fully sustained her long- established reputation.
