STATE COURTS HAVE NO JURISDICTION INTERESTING OPINION BY REF EREE VAN WORMER. Declares That Theie Is No Jurisdic tion in a State Court to Adminis ter the Estate of nn Insolvent Af ter an Adjudication In Bankrupt cySharply Scores the Assignee of M. Solomon & Co. for Converting Assigned Property Into Money After Bankruptcy Proceedings. Referee In Bankruptcy Vun Wormer this week handed clown a ru. meter ing U. Moses to tutn over to the trus tees ot thu ci editors of M. oolomon & Lo. all the assets ot the said com pany, which he held as assignee ot the latter. In the opinion accompanying the rulo the refoteo scotes the assignee sharply for converting omo of the as sets Into money contrary to law. The opinion follows: On November 2. 1S99, M. Solomon and company executed a general assignment for the bene lit of creditors to B. Moses, the deed of assignment was recorded In tho proper office in tho county of Lacka wanna, Pa., on December, 1S93. On De cember 5, UC9, an Involuntary petition In bankruptcy was tiled In this court ngulnst Mr. Solomon and company and nn ad judication ot bankruptcy made thereon by the Judge on December HO, 1KH. At the first meeting ot tlio creditors held on January .'.), 1W), H. 8. Alworth was duly elected liutcc nnd epnlllled by llllnr a bond as leqiilred by law. On Feb. 1, 19J0, tho trustee de matided of II, Moes, as slgno", that ho turn over to him all prop erty belonging to thh bunkrupt estate; the assignee refused to comply with this demand whereupon the trustee Hied his petition setting forth all necessary facts nravlng that a nile be gtanted upon 11. .Moses to show c auso w hv nn order should not be made r. quiring him to deliver to tlio ttusteo tho assets ot this estate. ALLEGATIONS ADMITTED. On Fcbiuury C, 19n0, a rulo was granted as piajeel fot and on the return thereof an ansvei was nicel by tho assignee ad mitting the allegations of the petition and justlfjlng his refusal to deliver the assets by uiisoii of the assignment to hi tn and lis pine dings thereunder In the state coutt, which nie set out in the iinwer. Thu answer admits tho receipt bv the assignee of ,1 U IiJ liom the silo of the propei tv assigned to him and the collection ot loitaiu book accounts. It nlso nlleges that property ot the value of $75 was levied upon by a writ of re lib v In at tho suit of Rose ndorf and com cany commence el In the state couit alter tho assignment. To Hie ainvver the-rp is attached and made a part thereof an account of the assignee showing receipts and expenditures bv the assignee, the lat ter, aggregating $!27 71. Tho answer con cludes as follows: "l therefore pray that the rule granted upon mo us nfoiesald may bo discharged, and if It is not discharged, then that It may be continued until such time ns jny aforesaid account shall be confirmed by the court of common pleas of Lacka wanna county. 1 further pray that If said rulo Is not discharged or continued that the expenses Ineurrid by mo as set torth In my account hereto attached anil marked Exhibit A may be allowed bv our honor and only such part of the properly of said assigned estate ns shall remain In my bunds bo ordeud paid over to the trustee." The questions raised by the assignee In his answer ale too well settled to re quire discussion. There Is no jurisdiction In n state coutt to administer the estate of an Insolvent utter an adjudication of bankruptcy: assignees of Insolvents seek ing such liirlsdletinn In an attempt to defraud creditors, which Is clearly the case bv proce piling under voluntary as signments will bo summarily enjoined by this court, which alone has jurisdiction to collet and distribute tin assets of bankrupts. This question Is so fully and ably consider. .1 by Judge Blown In ie Henrv Outvvllllng, 1 Am. Bankruptcy Rep. 7s, and Judt;e Wallace of the Fulled States Circuit I'ouit lb.
