~ BLOW TO CHOOKKDNE88 -f" New Ufl Hake Heavier P^Hlea For DUhMUt Bankruptdt* / New York, 'Aug. <J,?Fraudulent ' bankruptcies, which have been a thorn in the sldf Off jioneat business for mtfny years, will face severe setbacks in amendments to the present laws which become operative August 27. * Bankruptcy laws originally were Li. constructed to aid honest debtors in freeing themselves o /insurmountable obstacles. However, losses attributable to fraudulent bankruptcies have constituted "a real menace to the business structure of the nation," says the American Institute of Accountants. ^ Complaints against the present law, which the accountants assert the amendment# will rectify, include the following: That they do not prevent the making off collusive petitions filed by friendly or fictitious creditors at the request of the debtor; they fail to prevent the malting "of fraudulent compositions favoring certainf creditors; they prevenfe?*Uay discharge from bankruptcy act; delays are encountered in settling estates; administration costs sometimes arc excessive .and there i# an alleged laclf of prosecution. < .> The amendments provide heavier penalties in some instances for fradulent practices than under the old law, and fix responsibility in others with a view to easier prosecution of guilty parties.
