the balance the state. Mr.. Sanford is
under two bonds to the Baltimore con-

the other for $25,000 to the county. Mr..

report, and the time was readily grant
ed. The commissioners will meet again

of this matter A representative of the
bonding company is in the city. One
of the commissioners stated this after
noon that the company would settle
the entire amount on Monday. AS they
have to pay the states part at that
time, they will settle both claims. Mr..
Sanford declines to say anything on
this report. but seems hopeful yet 1t
is believed that he stands ready to nay
at once any proven amounts due coun-

RUPTCY ORDER.
Illinois Supreme Court Hands Down an
Important Decision in a Matter Not
Previously Passed Upon - Raid on
Rooms of Chicago Thief

Among the oph 'ons ham ed down by
the Supreme CcGv of lllneis recently
was one Of particu,a interest in alimony
judgments. The dse was that Of Alta
l. Deem vs.. Charles Boomer Contempt
of court proceedings were brought against
Bloomer in the Circuit Court of Mercer
County for refusing it's mandate to pay
alimony to his divorced wife. The pro-
ceeding was sustained and an appeal
taken to the Appellate Court of the sec
ond district, which reversed the finding
of the lower court The Supreme Court
reverses the opinion of the Appellate
Court and ailirms that of the Circuit
Court Among the many reasons set up
by Bloomer for non-payment Of the
judgment was the fact that he had been
discharged in bankruptcy proceedings
from the payment of alin0ny. Upon this
point the court says; "Alimony cannot
be regarded as debt owing from the
husband tbsthe wifstswhich may be dis
charged. by an ortNr I'm bankruptcy,
whether the alimony accrues before or
after the bankruptcy proceedings. The
duty which tb rlaw imposes upon hus-
band and fath,rto support his wife and
children is not such Il debt as IS contem-
plated by the bankruptcy act. Ii is a
soeials Obligation as well as = pecuuiary
liability; it is fpundet upon public pol
icy and is ,eor tie good Of society"
