Mahlon Pitney, San Pedro Company v. United States…
“ There is an application for the allowance of a writ of certiorari under section 240 (Comp. St. 1916, § 1217) , consideration of which has been postponed until the hearing on the writ of error; but, since it was presented, all occasion for granting it has been removed by our decision in Atchison, etc., Ry. Co. v. United States, 244 U.S. 336, 37 Sup. Ct. 635, 61 L. Ed. 1175, which in principle is indistinguishable from the present case, and was decided by the Circuit Court of Appeals (220 Fed. 748, 136 C. C. A. 354) upon the authority of its decision in the present case.Writ of error dismissed. ”
