BANKRUPTCY ACT VALID.
United States Supreme Court Holds the
I, ,M ;c Cooe%;&,,&;oo.I


Law is Constitutional
Washington. June 4.-In passing on
the case of the Hanover National bank
of New York vs.. Max Moses, the United
States supreme court in an opinion
today delivered by Chief Justice Fuller,
decided the national bankruptcy law teS
be constitutional.
The court held that to be valid
bankruptcy law must be uniform thru
out the United States and, further, that
it is uniform, when the trustee takes
in each state whatever would have been
available to the creditors if the bank
rutcy law had not been passed"
He added: The general operation of
the law is uniform, altho it may result.
in certain particulars, differently in diff
ferent states.
He also said:
Congress may prescribe any regula-
tions concerning discharge in bank
ruptcy that are not SO grossly unreal
sonable as to be incompatible with
fundamental law, and we cannot find
anything in this act on that subject
which would justify us in overthrow
ing it's action"
