Whenever there has been no national bankruptcy law in existence, the States have been held to be free to pass such insolvent laws as they might think proper. Saunders, 12 Wheaton's Reports, 213; Tua v. Carriere, 117 U. S. Reports, 201; Ketcham v. McNamara, 72 Conn. Most of the States have on their statute-books provisions for a permanent system of insolvency proceedings.
He knew that Butler had been engaged in a scuffle, but what it was he was unable to imagine. Tad had been strolling about the decks all the morning, as if in search of someone. He found the man he was seeking late in the forenoon. The man was sitting on a keg of nails on the after part of the upper deck, his back to Tad. "Good morning, Mr. Ketcham," greeted the Pony Rider Boy.
The red-whiskered man whirled, letting the hand that had been caressing his beard fall limply to his side. "Beard hurt you?" questioned Tad sweetly. "None of yer business!" was the surly reply. "Mr. Ketcham, I know you and I know your game," began Butler in a low, even tone. "I know, too, that you are the man who assaulted me and tried to put me overboard."
If you will recall I told you about that. The Captain gave me your history as far as he knew it, and I was much interested. How could I help being? I love adventure and so do my companions. We wanted to know more about it, but did not think it was any of our business until I overheard Ketcham plotting against you. We hadn't the least idea we ever should see you again.
"It's a lie!" yelled Sandy, making a leap for the boy. There was a furious fight, in which the interested bystanders did not interfere. But at last Tad's fist shot up in a vicious uppercut on the man's chin, and Sandy Ketcham settled to the floor as the boy leaped out of the way. "Have you filed the papers?" gasped Tad. "Sure, boy! You've won the first round.
Sam Dawson was also an observer of the scene. He saw the threatening scowl that Ketcham gave the smiling Tad, and drew his own conclusions, and at the same time decided that the freckle-faced boy was pretty well able to hold his own. Dawson really suspected part of the reason for this hasty disembarking, though he thought it was because Tad had threatened to expose the man Ketcham.

Unattached, but to belong to a fourth patrol, later on: George Hurst. "Lub" Ketcham. Thus it will be seen that there were now twenty-six lads connected with the wide awake Stanhope Troop, and more coming. After the roll call, they proceeded to the regular business, with Paul Morrison in the chair, he being the president of the association.
These additions gave to the delegation a prestige which its numbers did not always secure. John H. Ketcham, who had attained the rank of brigadier-general by successful service in the field, took his seat in this Congress, destined to hold it for a long period, destined also to exert large political influence without ever once addressing the House of Representatives or an assembly of the people.
