most careful management of the esfwill even a fair imirsiitMs ofclaims against the bankrupt Themost importance therefore attaches t tthe selection of the trustee by the cred-itors

An enormous amount of labor will beinvolved In the settlement the most del-icate questions of law and fact will haveto be decided a single mistake maymean the loss of thousands of dollars tosome and of nearly everything to othersFor this reason some of the largest cred-itors especially the banks that holdWaggamans paper strongly favor theselection not of an individual but atrust company as such trusteehonest an individual may be they saythe administration of such an estateone man involves elements of uncertain-ty which would be eliminated if it were
