On the 15th day of December following, motion to strike the] petition was filed. The case- was regularly assigned for submission on April 9. 1918, on which day the relators filejl their motion to dismiss the case at their costs. On the same day and on call of the docket, thd case was submitted. On April 11th thereafter relators were granted leave to withdraw their motion to dismiss. No briefs have ever bden filed, though the cause has been submitted more than seven months.
