Motions to dismiss or affirm and applications for certiorari submitted December 7, 1908.
Decided December 14, 1908.
Appeals from the Circuit Court of Appeals affirming orders and decrees of the bankruptcy court dismissed for want of jurisdiction without opinion on authority of Chapman v. Bowen, 207 U. S. 89.

[ The headnote in Chapman v. Bowen, 207 U. S. 89, is as follows;
“Clause 3 of general order in bankruptcy XXXVI applies to-appeal-able cases and must be complied with. .
“This appeal cannot be maintained because it does not com*within either paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 of § 25b oí the bankruptcy act.
“Where the decision below proceeds on principles of general law broad enough to sustain it without reference to provisions of the bankruptcy act, the question involved is not one which would justify a writ of error from the highest court of a State to this court.”]
