THE BANKRUPTCY LAW
Must Be Enforced Regardless Of Negligence Of
the Supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The department of
Justice during the past few days has been
importuned by a large number Of bust
ness men and lawyers to define the status
of the involuntary feature of the bank
ruptcy law passed during the last session
of Congress. Congress provided that
when the involuntary feature of the
measure should go into effect it should
be accompanied by a set of rules and Or
ders formulated by the supreme court OF
the United States for it's execution.
The supreme court not having compiled
these rules and orders, some question was
raised as to whether the law could be
properly enforced at the time provided
for, Nov. /.
The department of justice, today, how.
ever, held that the absence of these or
ders would not materially affect the en-,
forcement of the law; that they We're MOI
absolutely essential to the execution OIL
the act, and that there was no need Il
wait on the supreme court rules.
