    Judgment was rendered in favor of the United States in the court below. On appeal the judgment was affirmed, and the Supreme Court decided:
    A railroad company, acquiescing in the practice and rulings of Government officials, charged and collected the “land-grant” rates for transportation of Army officers’ effects upon which it was entitled to collect higher commercial rates. Held,, that it had waived its right to collect more and could not recover more in the Court of Claims. See Oregon-WasMngton R. R. <£• navigation, Oo. v. United States, ante, 339.
    The transportation of Army officers’ effects for the Government at Government expense may be done at special rates under section 22 of the interstate commerce act.
