Edwin A. Krauthoff, Alexander New, Samuel Feller, Arthur Miller, and J. V. C. Karnes for appellant. [Argument of Counsel from Page 323 intentionally omitted] Page 324 Messrs. Benjamin N. Cardozo, I. J. Ringolsky, Morris J. Hirsch, and David I. White for appellees. Mr. Justice McKenna delivered the opinion of the court: This appeal was taken to review the decree of the circuit court of appeals, reversing the disallowance of a debt due to Page 325 Openhym & Sons as a preferential claim against the estate of Walkeen-Lewis Millinery Company (we shall call it the millinery company). A motion to dismiss is made on the ground that the question involved is not one which could be brought here on writ of error from the highest court of a state, and that no justice of this court has certified that a determination of the question is essential to a uniform construction of the bankrupt act throughout the United States.

Subsequently, a suit was brought against the millinery company by another creditor, and a receiver was appointed of all its property. The receiver of the property forthwith took possession, and, under the orders of the court, continued its sale. A few days afterwards, certain other creditors of the millinery company filed a petition in the district court of the western district of Missouri, to have the company declared a bankrupt. Four days later, the company admitted its insolvency, and consented that it be declared a bankrupt. Openhym & Sons, the appellees, asserting that their goods had been obtained from them by the millinery company by false representations of its solvency, demanded possession of the goods from the state court's receiver. Possession was refused, and Openhym & Sons, having obtained from the state court permission to do so, brought an action of replevin against the receiver and the millinery company. 'Process was duly served on both defendants. In the execution of the replevin writ but $2,582.80 worth of the goods obtained from Openhym & Sons were found.
