Respondent contended that he obtained the registration of his trade-mark lawfully, for the purpose of using it for selling printing ink and other articles in which he was dealing and he had never discontinued the busi ess. The article for which bis trade mark was used was rubber craser, and petitioner' article was a pen. They were not therefore identical.

It was understood that the prizes were to be in money and the consular and municipal authorities at Shanghai took the association of Japanese yarn spinners se action against the scheme as illegal. To this plied that the prizes were to be in yagı and pleaded that the law was therefore not violated. The Japaneis consul openly fought the project, reporting adversely on it to his govere.
