The petition for writ of error to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit was submitted for a motion to dismiss on December 6, 1920, and the decision was rendered on December 13, 1920. The court dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction, citing the precedent set in Macfadden v. United States, 213 U.S. 288, and referencing additional cases: Boise Water Co. v. Boise City, 230 U.S. 98, 100; Chott v. Ewing, 237 U.S. 197; and Alaska Pacific Fisheries v. Alaska, 249 U.S. 53, 60-61. Mr. Elijah N.
