In the United States District court at
Springfield, Thursday, Judge Allen rem
dered an important decision on the
bankruptcy act. Mrs Nancy E. Cast,
owner of farm near Girard, Macoupin
, county, filed petition in bankruptcy,
scheduling assets at $24, 900, and liabili-
| ties at sci 900 Seven holders of mort
cages on the property sought to fore
close Independent of the bankruptcy
act
Henry C. Hamilton, trustee of the
| bankrupt, filed petition for the sale of
| the property in the bankrupt court, and
/ asked for temporary injunction
| against the prosecution of the foreclos-
| ure suits. Judge Allen held that the
bankrupt court bad full power over all
mortgages and dover interests, and that
they must go into the bankrupt court.
The practical effect of the decision is to
compel sale of estates, mortgaged to the
full extent of their value, by the district
court, and the claim is made that the
referee and trustee in such cases can
take from the proceeds of sale their
| legal percentage upon the amounts pay
| able to the mortgages

We often hear the old saying, 1T is
cheaper TO move than to pay rent" bu
according to the following, this rul,
will not hold good: A decision recently
handed down by the supreme court say:
that landlord can compel his tenant t.
come to his Office and pay his rent. HI
need not look up the tenant and ask
"How about that little matter?" but car
sit down, sue and get Judgment agains
him, A landlord telephoned his tenant
last January and asked him to com,
| arpnnH and nav his rant bnt the tpnan
said come and get it. More word
passed, with the result that both engag
ed lawyers 1t has just been decided il
the landlords favor, and it cost thu
lessee 5000 to find this out.
