Lindabury of counsel for the steel corporation, Dr. Walker testified that 1t would have been 6 stupendous task to have collected the prices from figures sent to the bureau by manu- facturers because of variation in the specification of the products sold. He said that where his tables showed prices were constant and therefore, in his judgment, lack of competition among manufacturers existed, the real prices were not absolutely" con- staht,
 Under cross examination the witness testified that the price of southern foundry iFeH was higher before the Tennessee IreA and Coal company was taken ever by the steel corporation than it had been at any time since,

The results of the recent exanina- tions of the commissioned officers of the coast artillery corps, Rhode Is land national guard, will not be of ficially promulgated until passed upon by a board representing the war de- partment. These examinations have been general and the strictest ever taken by national guardsmen, so much so that only one officer in the Cali fornia state troops passed successful examination.
 The examinations of Rhode Island officers was under the direction of Lieut. Colonel Gatchel1, LISA, detail- ed as inspector and instructor of Rhode Island troops. The examination papers are first marked by Lieut. Col onel Gatchell and then forwarded to the commanding officer of the NaTTa- gansett artillery district and then passed on to Washington.
 It has been unoff1cially announced, however, that only fifteen of the fifty six officers of the corps, Il in the First artillery district, and four in the Sec ond district, passed satisfactory ex- aminations. Of the eleven successful officers in the First district are three from Westerly, Major Arthur N. Nash. Major Bourbon A. Babcock and Capt. Robert G. Thackeray.

York argued for the plaintiff, assisted by Attorney Harry B. Agard of West erly, while Judge Nathan B. Lewis argued the case for the defendant The demurrer was based on the ground that no proper notice of the protest of the notes was ever given and farther that the claim against the estate was not filed until long after the time fixed by the statute of limitations expired, and no sufficient cause had even been shown for the delay.
 In reply to Judge Lewis, MT. Stern berg declared the statutes of New York with respect to notice to. in- dorsers on protested notes had been complied with, and this would be shown to the satisfaction of the court Regarding the delay in filing claim, he said, the plaintiff first endeavored to collect in another way, so as not to call on the indorser for pay, and cited long litigation in which these notes became a part, in an estate of over million dollars. He said that the plaintiff relied on other funds to pay these notes until it was found that these funds were insufficient to pay. He argued that the proceeding came within the meaning of the stat ute of Rhode Island, which seeks to provide remedy for the filing of claims against an estate after the time limit fixed by law, where much delay is caused by unforeseen circum- stances.
