Head Matter:
In re LLOYD ITALIANO SOCIETA DI NAVIGAZIONE.
Appeal of UNITED STATES.
(Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
April 8, 1912.)
No. 148.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.
Henry A. Wise, U. S. Atty. (Addison S. Pratt and Carl E. Whitney, Asst. U. S. Attys., of counsel), for the United States. Wallace, Butler & Brown (Frederick M. Brown, of counsel), for ap-pellee.
Before COXE, WARD, and NOYES, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
It appears from the papers, and was admitted at the argument, that a decision of the interesting question debated, no matter how it may be determined, will in no way affect the disposition of the fund as directed by the final decree entered in the District Court. The fact that the question is one which the shipping interests of this and other countries wish to have settled is unimportant. This court does not sit to hear and decide moot questions. Appeal dismissed.
