The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr. Justice Hydrick.
This action was brought against the defendant, the terminal carrier of an interstate shipment, to recover the penalty provided by statute (26 Stat. 717, Civil Code 1912, sec. 2572) for failure to pay the damages to a shipment, or trace it, and inform the consignee when, where, and by which carrier it was damaged, within forty days after notice thereof. Defendant admits liability for the penalty if the statute imposing it is not in conflict with the federal statute regulating interstate commerce.
