[MAJORITY — Per Curiam:]
Per Curiam:
The motion of the appellee to dismiss the appeal is granted and the appeal is dismissed (1) for the want of jurisdiction, § 237 (a), Judicial Code, as amended by the Act of February 13, 1925 (43 Stat. 936, 937); and (2) for want of a properly presented federal question.
