The claim of preference made by the Western Dry Goods com pany as u creditor of Max and Esther Solof of the former Peo ple's Cash store, was denied, by A. M. Cannon, referee in bank ruptcy. The claim of the Western Dry Goods company was denied by Mr. Cannon until such time as the company returns to the referee moneys which belong to the com pany. Referring further to tlje West ern Dry Goods company, the ref eree says: "It is quite within the limits to go so far as to say it posi tively knew of the insolvency and certainly it would be ridiculous to hold it did not have reasonable cause to believe, which is quite a different thing from actually be lieving or knowing, when it is ful ly proven it had such insfght into its debtor's affairs as would have enabled it to make that full, can did and square- examination the law demands at its hands and that this would have undeniably li vulgecl a case of hopeless insolven cy." The referee in bankmptcy made objection to the claim of the West ern Dry Goods company by the trustee in bankruptcy, giving as his reason that the company re ceived avoidable preference am ounting to about $19,000. Ac cording to the referee there was evidence showing ' that between February 6 and June 3, 1923, payments were made to the West ern Dry Goods company on indebt edness past due cash in the sum of $23,799.03 ad merchandise amounting to $3,00S.08. From these it was said there should be deducted $7,089.68, leaving $19, 417.43 as net payments. It is stated by the referee that on the bankruptcy date an inven tory of merchandise at cost of $47,005.02 is shown, this being appraised at $23,502.21. The in ventory of fixtures was $4,890.75 and other property $1173.15, the aggregate being $53,159.32. Lia bilities were listed at $130,000 or more.
