On Motion for Rehearing.
On appellant’s motion for rehearing on June 28, 1930, this court certified to the Supreme Court the questions which the appellant claimed were involved in this suit. Theretofore the court had reformed and affirmed the judgment of the trial court on May 24, 1930. The Supreme Court held, in answer to certified questions, that the orders of the Railroad Commission, which appellant attacked on various grounds, were not subject to be called in question, except in a direct proceeding brought in full conformity with article 6453, Rev. Civ. Statutes. It further held that the issue of discrimination of the Railroad Commission growing out of rates on file with Interstate Commerce Commission cannot be maintained in a state court at all, and can only be maintained in a federal court, after the matter has been presented to the- Interstate Commerce Commission — citing cases. These questions involve the only questions in the suit filed, and we think the answers of the Supreme Court sufficiently dispose of the questions involved. Therefore the motion for rehearing is overruled.
