No. 90


Argued December 18, 1918
Decided January 7, 1919
248 U.S. 363

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF KANSAS

Syllabus

When a party neglects to present a federal question within the time allowed by the state procedure, and it is refused consideration by the state court for that reason, writ of error will not lie under Jud.Code § 237.

A cause of action under an interstate bill of lading, which arose, if at all, before the date of the Carmack Amendment, depends upon the state law.

Writ of error to review 98 Kan. 225 dismissed.

The case is stated in the opinion.
