New guards watched Mrs. Wallis

A detective from the Surete Na
tional* was designated as a special
guard for th* American woman on
all trips from the Villa Lou Viel, her
haven since she left England.
Scotland Yard Men Withdrawn.
The other French guards on duty

tectives from Scotland Yard. London,
who accompanied her here, have been
ordered home.
A new chauffeur also was engaged

Mr*. Simpson on trips away from

rov»l chauffeur, who was ordered to
return to London.
Members of the household said they
Were not worried by the "crank let
ters." which they regarded as a natu
ral consequence of the "Stirring days
which saw Edward, now the Duke of
Windsor, give up his throne because
cf his love for Wallis.
None of the letters. Mrs. Simpson's
hosts said, contained a direct threat
to her safety.
Will Resume Customary Life.
After a week end indoors reading
and writing letters. Mrs. Simpson
hoped soon to resume her customary
active life, latest word from the villa
said. If the weather improves, she
hopes to play some golf.
As far as could be ascertained,
there had been no word from Edward
since he reached Austria last night.
All evidence indicated Mrs. Simpson
was settling down to remain in the
villa until after Christmas in accord
ance with her original plans.
Mrs. Simpson abandoned her vol
untary seclusion inside the villa today
and spent some time in the brilliant
*unshine in the garden.
Dressed in a dark blue suit with
a bright collar, she walked«bout the
grounds with Mr. and Mrs. Rogers
and a detective.
Court
(Continued From First Page )
Court decree was necessary so the
case could be sent back to the trial
court for new proceedings.
Criticizing the ruling of both lower
courts, the opinion said, in part:
"We thus have a situation in which
both courts below have failed to act
In accordance with the standards of
proper procedure. * * * In this in
stance. the Circuit Court of Appeals
could not leave in effective operation
the final decree of the District Court
(which held the monetary advances to

that court with Jurisdiction to re
try the case.
“The Appelate Court failed to make
Its ruling with proper clarity and defi
niteness. For that reason, the District
Court failed to understand the essen
tial purport of the order to remand.
The District Court did not understand
that it was revested with complete
Jurisdiction and its proceedings were
hot taken and its decision was not
rendered with a consciousness of its
power and its duty.
"Delusive interests of haste should
rot be permitted to obscure substantial
requirements of orderly procedure.
There is exigency here which demands
that these requirements should not be
enforced. The cause was heard in the
Circuit Court of Appeals upon a record
Improperly made up. That the cause
may be properly heard and determined,
we reverse the decree of the Circuit
Court of Appeals and remand the
cause with directions that the decrees

evancy or effect of the evidence, or
otherwise upon the merits.”
The suit was filed by the power
company for an injunction to prevent
a loan and grant of nearly $3,000,000
to Greenwood County, 8. C„ for con
struction of a power project known
as Buzzard Roost.
After the case had been tried in the
District Court and remanded by the
Court of Appeals, attempts were made
to introduce'additional evidence as to
a new. contract between P. W. A. and
the county authorities and as to the
intent of P. W. A. in making the loan
and grant.
The admissibility of this evidence
resulted in considerable confusion dur
ing the rehearing, which was ampli
fied by ambiguities In the appellate
court order remanding the case.
In the Associated Press case, a
unanimous decision delivered by Jus
tice Roberts held that the bill of
complaint should have been dismissed
by the District Court on the ground
the amount in controversy did not
give the Federal Court jurisdiction.
"The decree of the Circuit Court
of Appeals is reversed,” the court or
dered. "and the cause is remanded to
the District Court with directions to
dismiss the bill of complaint for want
of jurisdiction.”
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
had granted an injunction enjoining
broadcasting of the news until 18
hours after publication.
The Associated Press, which filed
‘the original action, contended the sta
tion was "pirating" news dispatches
from the Bellingham Herald, Seattle
Post-Intelligencer and Seattle Times,
all members of the Co-operative Press
Association.
Dismissal of the complaint was
ordered by the Federal District Court,
but it was reversed by the Circuit
Court.
John W. Davis, New York attorney
for the Associated Press, contended
the news was the property of the
Press Association as long as it had
commercial value. This was disputed
' by William H. Pemberton of Olympia,
Wash., attorney for the radio station.

Inheritance Tax Sought.
Before the court met today, the State
of Texas started a move to collect an
Inheritance lax from the huge estate
left by Col. Edward H. R. Oreen, son
of the famous Hetty Oreen. ,
Attorney General William McCrmw
of Texas estimated the tax would be
approximately $10,000,000 should the
suit be successful.
Texas asked the Supreme Court for
permission to file a bill of complaint
against the Slates of New York, Massa
chusetts and Florida and against Hetty
Green Wilks, sister of Green, and Ma
bel Harlow Oreen. the widow.
Col. Green died In New York last
June, leaving an estate estimated to
be In excess of 130.000.000.
In Its complaint Texas aet forth
that Col. Green In 1802 abandoned
domiciles in other States and took up
residence in Dallas, Tex.
Texas Held Choice.
“Thereafter/’ said the petition, “he
continuously maintained auch domicile
until his death, and repeatedly every
year until his death he reaffirmed his
choice of Texas as his choice of per
manent domicile * * * and declared
every other State, including New York,
Massachusetts and Florida, not to be
his domicile.''
Each of the other three States has
claimed Green as a resident, and each
has claimed that Hetty Green Wilks
and Mabel Harlow Green should pay a
tax in order to inherit any of Col.
Green's property within the State’s
jurisdiction.
A petition seeking reconsideration of
a 4-to-* Supreme Court decision up
holding constitutionality of the New
York insurance law also was filed to
day with the court.
It was presented by E. C. Stearns
& Co.. W. H. H. Chamberlin, Inc.,
and Associated Industries of New
York unemployment insurance law
also was filed today with the court.
They asked a reargument before all
nine justices. The 4-to-4 ruling was
due to tbs absence of Justice Stone,
who is ill.
The petition said a rehearing would
"be in accord with precedent and
long-established practice of this court
in like situations,” would serve "the
public Interest” and would "avert the
possibility of grave injustice to these
appelants.”
