RULES ON BANKRUPT
Highest Court Construes "Pref.
erence" and Other Clauses

WASHINGTON, April 8. - Justice
White today handed down the opinion
Of the United States supreme court in
the case of Guilford R. Keppel, a
trustee in bankruptcy for Charles E.
GoetZ, VS.. the Tiffin (Ohio) Savings
bank. The case involved the construc-
ton Of the preference" and "surren-
DER clauses of the bankruptcy law.
The decision was rendered in reply to
a question certified from the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
sixth circuit. The court held that "a
creditor of a bankrupt who has re-
ceived merely voidable preference and
who has in good faith retained such
preference until deprived thereof by
the judgment of a court upon a suit of
the trustee, can thereafter prove the
debt so voidably preferred" In his
opinion Justice White said:
The preference clauses of the bank
ruptcy law include preferences where the
creditor receiving the same acted without
knowledge of any wrongful intent on the
part of the debtor and in the utmost good
faith. Having thus broadened the pref
erence clauses so as to make them include
acts never before declared by congress 10
be illegal, 1t may well be presumed that

clause In the present act could not have
