Before GRAY, BUFFINGTON, and McPHERSON, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
GRAY, Circuit Judge.
When these cases were called for argument, counsel agreed at bar that (in view of recent decisions by the Supreme Court upon the measure of damages in this class of cases) the instructions and rulings by the District Court upon that subject were erroneous.
It is therefore ordered that iti each of the foregoing cases the judgment he reversed, upon this ground alone — no other question being considered or decided by this court.
