BANKRUPTCY LAW DECISION.

Washington, May 22.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered its first decision
bearing upon the bankruptcy law. The
decision was on question certified and
was as follows:
As a deed of general assignment
for the benefit of creditors is made by
the bankruptcy act alone sufficient to
justify an adjudication in involuntary
bankruptcy against the debtor making
such deed without reference to his
solvency at the time of the filing Of
the petition, the denial of insolvency
by way of defense to a petition based
upon the making of deed of general
assignment is not warranted by the
bankruptcy law"

New York, May 22.-what appears
TO be a bold case of kidnapping of a
child was reported to the police to-
day. and score of detectives were at
once sent out in an endeavor TO ar
rest the offenders. The missing child
is Marions the 1S-months-old daughter
of Arthur Clark. an employe of a pub
fishing firm. She was taken, the police
say. by nurse named Carrie Jones.
who was hired last week by the Clarks
through an advertisement. The whole
thing seems to have been a cleverly
laid plot. The child was taken out
yesterday afternoon by the nurse. and
the empty baby carriage was found by
the police in Central Park. Soon az
terward Mrs. Clark received this let
ter:
Mrs. Clark:-Do not look for your
nurse and baby. They are safe in our
possession, where they will remain for
the present. If the matter is kept out
of the hands of the police and news
papers you will get your baby back
safe and sound. If, instead, you make
big time about it and publish it all
over we will see TO ii that you never
see her alive again. We are driven to
this by the fact that we cannot get
work and one of us has a child dying.
through want OF proper treatment and
nourishment. Your baby is safe and
in good hands. The nurse girl is still
with her. If everything is quiet you
will bear from us Monday or Tuesday.
THREE"
There is evidence to show that the
nurse girl wrote this letter Mrs.
Clark is in serious condition and the
suspense may cause her death.
