    Error to the Public Utilities Commission.
    INTREURBAN RAILROADS — Receivership—Abandonment of branch line in interstate system — State courts or commissioner not to disturb property in receiver’s custody.
   Marshall, C. J.:

Where an interstate system of interurban railroads is in the custody of a receiver appointed by a federal court in proceedings to foreclose a mortgage, and that court grants an application to abandon a branch line of such system, which branch is wholly within this state, on the ground that it is operated at a loss, such order of the federel court concerning property in its custody may not be disturbed by the state commission or the state courts. .

Order affirmed.
