The Hendqunrters and Reg- istration Bureau were at the Schroe- der Hotel and there was a registra- tion of approximately 2000 lawyers including representatives from every state in the Union and also rgis- trants from Brazil, Canada, England and Germany. The la te s t registration shoreed more than 60 Minnesota members present, among whom were, the foI- lowing from Minneapolis, namely, Mesaro. James D. Baia, John C. Benson, Ivan Rowen, J. Frank Boyles, Lee Brooks Byard, Gerald T. Carroll, Nathan A. Cobb, Frances V. David- son, John deLaittre, Reginald B. Forster, Chas. R. Fowler, Everett Fraser, Ambrose Fuller, Lewis R. Gillette, Win. Boyd Henderson, Oscar G. Haugland, Stanley B. Houck, John Junell, Matthew J. Levitt, H. C. Mackall, Paul J. McGough, Leo P. McNally, Morris B. Mitchell, Perry R. Moore, Robert G. Morrison, Neely E. Pardee, R. G. Patton, Howard P. Qealy, A. V. Rieke, Donald C. Rogers, Florence M. Selander, Glenn S. Stiles, Fred'k H. Stinehfield, C. A. Taney, Jr., Richard L. Tighe, Walter J. Trogner, P. W. Viesselman, and G. A. Yougquist. The Conference of Bar Association Delegates met on August 27th and considered the reports of committees on a number of different subjects. The proposal which attracted the most attention was the report of the Committee on Accident Litigation considering automatic compensation for persons injured in automobile ac- cidents, regardless of negligence, much on the order of Worknen's Compensation. There were four dif- ferent reports filed on this, subject and the matter was given much dis- cussion and consideration with the final result that the Automatic Com- pensation Plan was voted down by an almost unanimous vote. The Junior Bar Section, created by lawyers under 35 years of age, had a large following among the younger practitioners. The purpose of the sec- tion is to stimulate interest in the Association among the younger mem- bers of the profession and to coordi- nate with them in their own special projects. This Section will hold year- ly Section meetings and should be instromental in greatly increasing the attendance of younger lawyers at the American Bar conventions. Two sections which drew a very large following were the Section of Insurance Law and the newly organ- ized Section of Real Property Law. We are indebted to Messrs. Donald C. Rogers, R. G. Patton and Walter J. Trogner for reports on the activi- ties of these-Sections. The Insurance Section, which met on Monday, August 27th, and Thurs- day, August 30th, took up every phase of Insurance Law anddrew a very large attendance. The universal interest displayed in the sessions of this Section clearly shows the grow- -ing impartanef'of insuftricelaw in Continued to pa¢e, 4, column-1, and 2 FULL TEXT FRAZIER-LEMKE ACT Because of the interest which has been manifested in the recent P rm Bankruptey Amendment to the Bank- ruptey Act, and because of the dif- ficulty heretofore experienced in ab taining copies of the act, it is hore- nafter quoted in full far the-,co- venience of the members of the bar who are interested in securing a copy and have been unable to do so. The act is as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con- gress assembsled. That Section 75 of the Act of July 1, 1898, entitled 'An Act to es- tablish a uniform system of bank- ruptcy throughout the United States,' as amended, is amended as follows: In section 75, entitled 'Agricultural Compositions and Extensions,' after subsection (r) add a new subsection (s), to read as follows: (S) Any farmer failbng, tu obtain the acceptance of a majority in num- ber and amount of -all credtors whose claims are affected by a om- position or extension proposal, or if he feels aggrieved by the composi- tion or extension, mafj' _.mend, his petition or answer asking to be ad- judged a bankrupt. Such farmer may, at the time of the first hearing, petition the court that all of his property, whether pledged, encum- bered or unencumbered, by liens or otherwise, be appraised, and that his exemptions as prescribed by the State law, subject to any liens there- on, be set aside and that he be al- lowed to retain possession of any part or parcel or all of the remain- der of his property and pay for same under the terms and conditions set forth in this subsection fs). (1) Upon such a request being made in the petition or answer, at the time of the first hearing, op- praisers shall be designated and ap- pointed. Such appraisers shall ap- praise all the property of the debtor at its then fair and reasonable value, not necessarily the market value at the time of such appraisal. The ap- praisals shall be made in all other respects, with right of objections, ex- ceptions, and appeal, in accordance with this Act: Provided, That in case of real estate either party may file objections, exceptions, and ap- peals within one year from date of order approving the appraisal. (2) After the value of the deb- toe's property shall have been fixed by the appraisal as herein provided, the referee shall issue an order set- ting aside to such debtor his exemp- tions as prescribed by the State law, subject to any existing mortgages or liens upon any such exemptions to an amount equal to the value, as fixed by the appraisal, of the value of such exempt property as is cov- ered by any mortgage or lien, and shall further order that the posses- sion, under the control of the court, of any part or parcel or all of the remainder of the debtor's property, shall remain in the debtor subject to a general lien, as security for the payment of the value thereof to the trustee of the creditors, if a trustee is appointed, such a lien to be sub- Continued to page 3, co ulnn 2 and 3 DULUTH ENTERTAINS STATE BAR MEETING With over 800 attorneys and their families in attendance at the annual meeting of the Minnesota State Bar Association at Duluth, a new atten- dance record was established for seetings held outside of the Twin Cities. The proposed act for the in- tefgrtiou,of the. bar, was voted on and approved at the Friday afternoon session. The Eleventh Judicial District Bar Association was host to the State Association and presented a well planned enter ainment program, which included a five-hour boat trip on Lake Superior. Rollo Hunt, Duluth, was elected President for the coming year to succeed Frank W. Murphy, Wheaton. Lee B. Byard, Minneapolis, Past'- President of the Hennepin County Bar Association, was elected Vice President. William G. Graves, St. Paul, and Donald C. Rogers, Minne- apolis, were elected Treasurer and Secretary, respectively. Clarence Darrow, famed Chicago lawyer, spoke on the New Deal on Saturday morning before a packed house in the ballroom of Hotel Du- luth. While there was an animated dis- cussion on the proposed integration of the bar act by both the adherents and opponents, the oral vote taken at the close of the meeting left no doubt that a very large majority of those in attendance at the meeting were in favor of the proposed act. This was the best attended session of the meeting and it was estimated that more than 400 were present. Other entertainment provided, in- cluded a supper and dance at the Northland Country Club and the an- nual banquet with acts by the Elev- enth District Bar Association, which was followed by a dance and lunch- eons, teas and tours for the ladies.

Bar Ballots-Our Association has now taken over the work of the Minneapolis Bar Library Association in preparing for the bar ballot on judicial candidates. It is intended that this ballot shall reach all lawyers in Hennepin County, whether practicing or not and regardless of bar asso- ciation membership. The Secretary requests that those lawyers whose names may not be listed in the class- ified directories and are not members of the Association send in their names so as to avoid any possibility that they might be omitted from the mailing list.

Record Attendance at First Weekly Luncheon Stanley Houck Reveals Se- crets of the Ethics Com- mittee to Association The first veekly luncheon of the Association for the 1934-35 season was held in the main dining room of the Elks Club at 12:15 on Tuesday, September 25th. A record attendance of more than 100 bespeaks a grow- ing interest in these meetings. President Alvin L. Dretchko an- nounced the program for ensuing meetings and then introduced Stanley B. Houck, the luncheon speaker. Mr. Houck revealed many of the hitherto hidden Secrets of the Ethics Committee. The least known and most arduous task of the Committee is its missionary work in satisfying those of our clients who, due to some misconceptioi or misunderstanding, make complaints about matters not arising out of any misconduct. In these cases, comprising some 49 out of every 50 complaints filed, the Com- mittee, after investigation, makes every effort to correct the misunder- standing and to satisfy the client. The Bar owes the Ethics Committee a debt of deep gratitude for this work done on behalf of the lawyers. The Bar Association will continue during the season to hold weekly luncheon meetings every Tuesday noon at which meetings its members can meet informally and hear and take-part in discussions of topics of particular interest to the profession. The Program Committee has al- ready lined up several talks on sub- jects of interest which are to be given by well informed and capable speakers. Among the speakers and subjects- aiready promised are the following: William B. Henderson on the meeting of the American Bar ,Asociation at Milwaukee; Dean Frazer of the University of Minne- sota Law School on The Unfortunate Status of Certain -lPatores of Real Property and Suggested Remedies; N. E. Pardee on the meeting of Home Owners Loan Examiners at Milwau- kee; Samuel B. Maslon on Corporate Reorganization under Recent Amend- ments to the Bankruptcy Law; Rollo Hunt, President of the State Bar As- sociation; Abbott L. Fletcher on the Proposed New Probate Code. Any member of the Association, having any suggestion as to subjects or speakers for any of the noon meet- ings, will assist the work of the Pro- gram Committee very materially by communicating with P. F. Sherman, Chairman, or Vernon S. Welch, Seer- tary. Let Him Off With a Wisecrack Judge (in traffic court): I'll 4et you off with a fine this time, but sw- other day I'll send you to jail.
