Syllabus

<p>In a suit against a carrier for services for handling grain through plaintiff’s elevators, the referee rejected evidence as to the ownership of almost the entire stock of the elevator company by a member of the firm which shipped the grain, and also an opinion of the Interstate Commerce Commission of later date than the services rendered: held that as the offer of evidence did not bring in the Act to Regulate Commerce and allege that the plaintiff was merely acting as a tool for the shipper to obtain rebates, the action was merely one for services, and, no Federal question being involved, this court has no jurisdiction under'§ 237, Judicial Code, to review the judgment of the state court.</p>
