Head Matter:
No. 104.
John Maynard Harlan v. James S. Harlan.
Appeal from the Court of Appeals qf the District of Columbia.
Argued November 26, 27, 1923.
Decided December 3, 1923.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This case has become moot, because of the institution of the second suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and the passing of the property involved to the receiver in that suit, with the consent of the plaintiff in this. The cause is therefore remanded to the Court of Appeals with directions to modify its previous decree and enter an order remanding the cause to the Supreme Court of the District directing it to dismiss the case as moot, awarding no costs to either party.
