10. That Judgment should be
had by the plaintiffs, with reason.
able costs of this action.
Justice Luhring filed the fol.
lowing memorandum in these
cases.
The proceedings in the courts
of the District of Columbia un'
der Section 81 of the Public Util-
tiles Act are administrative, KEEL
Ter v. Potomac Electric Power Co.,
261 U. S. 428, and a continuation
of the proceedings before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. Candy
v. Marble, 1872 U. S. 432; Alexan-
drine v. Coe, App. D. c., decided
May IA, 1894.
The Candy and Alexandrine
cases have to do respectively with
proceedings in patent and trade
mark cases under Sec. 4915, R. S.
as amended (Sec. SO, Tit. IS U. s.
c.. This section provides that
whenever a patent on applica-
ton is refused by the Commits
sioner of Patents, the applicant,
. may have remedy by bill in
equity if filed within six months
after such refusal, and the court
having cognizance thereof, on no
tice to adverse parties and other
due proceedings had, may ad-
judge that such applicant is en-
titled, according to law, to receive
a. patent for his invention, as
specified in his claim, or for any
part thereof, as the facts in the
case may appear. -" In refer
ring to this Section 4915 r. S.,
Mr.. Justice Blatchford in the
Candy case, page 439, said:
although, as was said by this
court in Butterworth v. Hoe, 112
U. S. 50, 81. the proceeding by
bill in equity, under Sec. 4915, on
the refusal to grant an applica-
ton for a patent, intends a suit
according to the ordinary course
of equity practice and procedure,
and is not q technical appeal
from the Patent Office, nor con-
fined to the case as made in the
record Of that office, but is pre-
pared and heard upon all compe-
tent evidence adduced and upon
the whole merits, yet the pro-
ceeding is, In fact and neceSSa-
rily, q part Of the application
for the patent.

P RICE MARGIN
ORDER To AID
By International News Service
1I.o a@-a,,~o;~~ So1,1o1io fnSo

By International News Service
The consuming public today
was expected to benefit from
President Roosevelt's executive or
der instituting a IS per cent COM
petitive margin on MIRA code
prices.
Mr.. Roosevelt's order, designed
to restore open competition on
Government bids and extend the
benefits of low prices offered the
Government to the man-in-the-
street, means the consumer may
receive anything up to a Is per
cent cut on goods sold the Gov
eminent.
It provides that companies
which supply Government goods
may cut their prices anywhere up
to Is per cent below rates listed
with the NRA, providing they are
willing to extend the reduced
prices to the general consumer.
The order was prompted by the
practice of Government contract
ors in using NRA price-listing
rules as an excuse for submitting
identical bids on Federal con-
tracts.
Only a couple days ago Secre-
tary of War Dern held up the
purchase of 100000 barrels Of
cement because of suspicion of
collision on the part of the
bidders. One cement firm posted
a price of $1.85 per barrel with
the MIRA as the price at which
it was considered necessary to
sell the cement in order to make
a reasonable profit.
When the bids came into the
War Department for the 100000
barrels Of cement, ten Of them
were identical and based on the
$1.85 price, although the market
price at the time was as low as
Sis per barrel.
Under the new order, COM
panieS may quote prices as much
as Is per cent below the rate
listed with MIRA. The competitive
prices will not be made known
until the bids are opened. At
that time, they will be filed with
the NRA as requirements for the
original rates listed and the bid
der must stick to that price in
selling his goods to the public,
regardless of whether he obtains
the Government contracts or not.

COURT DIGNITY
MAKES BOW

District Supreme Court was like
Sleepy Hollow last week.
The good old summertime did
not make anyone particularly cross
but rather it had the effect of re-
ducing the stern dignity of the
court to a common search for
comfort.
Many of the branches revealed
coatlesS Jurors and counsel, and
Justice Jesse c. Adkins courted
comfort one Sultry day by un-
fastening his gown and exposing
himself to the full force of a fan
placed directly in front Of him.
Justice William Hitz could have
shown all of them how to indulge
that tired feeling that comes with
summertime. There has not been
a sylvan Court Session"-on the
branches of Judiciary Square
since Justice Hitz went up to the
Court Of Appeals.
Speaking Of summertime as
signment Of judges for the sum-
mer recess has been announced by
Chief Justice Wheat following a
general term.
Justices Daniel w. O'Donoghue
and o. r. Luhring will be on the
bench from July Is to July 80;
Justice M. Proctor will be avail
able from July 81 to August IS;
Justice Jennings Bailey and F. D.
Let's will preside from August 81
to September IS and Chief Justice
Wheat and Justice Jesse c. Ad-
kins will wind up the SUNNI r
term from September Is to O.
tober l.
Michael J. Colbert. who many
years ago was president of the
District Bar Association, spoke
profound words in addressing
Judge John P. Mcmahon in Po-
lice Court this week.
It was a case where a wife
had caused a neighborhood dis
turbance, but her husband was
the one who was arrested. The
husband had been placed on the
stand by his attorney, Mr.. Col
bert, and Judge Mcmahon in
terjected:
"Why can't you control your
wife,"
Mr.. Colbert sprang to his eli
ent'S aid and responded:
"YOur Honor, 1 have been
married 30 years, and I know a
wife cannot be controlled by
her husband. The question,
coming from an able and as
tute jurist, ,aStounds me-"
And when Justice Adkins re-
turns in September he will settle
another controversy arising out Of
our domestic relations laws.
The case involves a Mexican d.
vorce, and is the first instance
where an annulment Of mar
riage performed here because one
Of the parties was divorced by
mail in Mexico, has been asked Of
the local court. It will be new law
unless there is successfully de-
veloped the question of eStoppel.
Jean Boardman is attorney for
one ntigant, and Dorsey Offutt
represents the other.
Over in Alexandria recently
the Kiwanis Club-wh1ch repre-
sents most Of the city'S business
structure, except the Rotary,
Lions, Chamber of Commerce
and a few others-heard a law
yer discourse on an interesting
subject.
Charles Henry Smith, past
president of the Alexandria Bar
Association, was the speaker, and
his subject was one which
Charles Henry always warns up
to when he Is addressing a jury.
After hearing his speech before
the KiwanianS everyone will be
even more convinced Of his sin
cerity in the future.
