    February 4, 1913.)
    No. 2,362.
    Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Texas; Gordon Russell, Judge.
    F. D. Minor, of Beaumont, Tex., and L. L. Morrill, of Washington, D. C., for appellants.
    Wm. G. Henderson, of Washington, D. C., for appellees.
    Before PARDEE and SHELBY, Circuit Judges, and GRUBB, District Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

We have doubts as to the validity of the patent sued on in this case; but, conceding that the claimants below made a prima facie case as to their patent rights, we are clear that no infringement has b.een proved. The decree of the lower court dismissing the bill is affirmed.
