PER CURIAM. This is a suit in equity in the District Court of the United States for the District of Porto Rico by a citizen of Spain domiciled in Porto Rico against a defendant, also resident in Porto Rico. We must of our own motion inquire as to the jurisdiction. Railway Co. v. Swan, 111 U. S. 379, 4 Sup. Ct. 510, 28 L. Ed. 462; Grand Trunk Railway Co. v. Twitchell, 59 Fed. 727, 8 C. C. A. 237. Plainly this case is governed by the decision of the Supreme Court in Porto Rico Railway, Light & Power Co. v. Diaz Mor, 253 U. S. -, 40 Sup. Ct. 516, 64 L. Ed. — , decided June 1, 1920.
