FEDERAL RECEIVER SEEKS ASSETS Litigation Involving Jurisdiction Of Federal and State
 Courts Contest Arises Over Property of J. w. Zeigler & Co. of
 Bridgeport

| Judge James P. Platt has under
 consideration an interesting question
 which was submitted to him in the
 district court of the United States in
 Hartford yesterday.
 Some months ago the superior
 court in Fairfield county appointed
 Nathan C.. Herz of Bridgeport tenn
 porary receiver of J. w. Zeigler < Co.,, Incorporated, and MT. Herz took
 possession of all of the assets of the
 corporation. Mr. Herz has succeeded
 in turning many of the assets into
 cash and, on April 26 of this year | certain creditors of the Bridgeport
 corporation filed a petition in the
 district court of the United States asking that the corporation be ad- Jud1cated bankrupt On the same day Charles D. Cleveland of Bridge corporation in the United States
 court. Subsequently MT. Cleveland
 made demand on MT. Herz, as state
 court receiver, to turn over ali of
 the corporations assets to Cleveland, as receiver under appointment of the
 United States court Herz refused and then the United States court is- sued rule for him to do SO. or to appear in court and show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court.
 The proceedings in, contempt came 1 before Judge Platt yesterday. Robert | E. DeForest appeared for Herz, and | stiles Judson appeared for the peti- t1oning creditors. MT. DeForest claim ed that Herz held the property under authority given him by the state court. that as he was an officer of | the court the United States court could not hold him in contempt, and that as an officer of the state court 1 n hn1 +l,o | sets until the state revoked the ori- glnal order for him to take and hold them. MT. DeForeSt made this claim or law, even though, he was willing to admit that, in the affairs of bank rupt persons, the United States courts had the right of exclusive admins tratlon. In support of his contention he quoted to Judge Platt the opinion of the supreme court of the United states In the matter of Watts and 3 hypothetical question to MT. De- Forest, when he asked what would I1 happen if the Judge of the state court refused to direct the receiver ap- assets to the receiver of the United States court. MT. DeForest answer ed that perhaps an appeal could be taken to the United States court of appeals or to the supreme court 'f the United States
 States court has the exclusive juris- fiction over the administration of the lffairs of bankrupts, Mr. Judson argued that the receiver in the state ,ourt should turn the assets over to MT. Cleveland. The J. w. Zeigier ,oncern has filed an answer in the ourt denying the allegations of bank uptcy, and it has asked for a hear C ng by jury. MT. Judson said that |, nough had been shown to make it ' -ppear that the cOrDOration is hank upt, but whether it is bankrupt or l, sn't was not material to the dues- a ion submitted. Judge Plat took the natter under consideration.
