Decided April 14, 1913
228 U.S. 312

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR ALLOWANCE OF AN APPEAL

FROM A DECREE OF THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Syllabus

An appeal lies from a decree of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia under subd. 6 of § 250 of the Judicial Code where the construction of a law of the United States of general application was drawn in question and was considered and passed upon, and so held that an appeal should have been allowed in this case, as § 3477, Rev.Stat., is such a statute, and the case is not so frivolous as to deprive of the right of appeal allowed by § 250.

Appeal from 40 Wash. 726 allowed.

The facts, which involve the construction of the provisions of § 250 of the Judicial Code regulating appeals to this Court from judgments and decrees of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, are stated in the opinion.
