New national bankruptcy law takes effect in Maryland
The new federal bankruptcy law began July 1. Daniel L. Brinton and Thomas F. Hickey of Baltimore were appointed referees in bankruptcy for Maryland by Judge Morris. Brinton says the act supersedes Maryland insolvency laws and that petitions filed since July 1 in circuit courts will be dismissed and refiled before referees. Proceedings before July 1 remain undisturbed. The change aims to abolish state insolvency laws, benefits debtors, reduces fees, preserves creditors’ recoveries, and shifts workload from state circuits to federal courts.

Larrison W. Vickers is also discussed as a potential candidate, though he denies seeking the post. The Baltimore Sunday Herald notes Dr. Barber appears likely for renomination, while Wilbur F.
