The appeal in this ease is by the Secretary of the Treasury against the intervening railway companies. The opinion rendered this day in Mellon v. Minneapolis, St. P. & S. S. M. R. Co. (No. 4273) 11 F.(2d) 332, App. D. C., is decisive of all the matters presented by this appeal. It is unnecessary, therefore, to enter into any discussion of the law or facts applicable to this ease. A decree should be entered therein, following the decree in the Original case.
The decree is reversed, with costs.
