Under the Boiler Inspection Act, the mere breaking of a king pin and coupling chains, without other evidence, does not establish, as a matter of law, that they were defective. P. 249 U. S. 530.

When the decision of the state court upholds a state statute in conflict with a valid law of the United States, review is by writ of error. Id.
