    Bynum E. Hinton, of Washington, D. G., for defendants in error.

   PEB CUBIAM.

The defendants in error insist that there is nothing before

this court because exceptions were not duly taken. The point is serious, but we prefer to rest the affirmance of the judgment on the merits. We think the District Court (298 Fed. 320) was clearly right on all the points decided, and that nothing of substance can be added to the reasoning of the court.

Affirmed.
