HETTY GREEN HEIRS
WIN Big TAX CASE
New York State Loses Millions
by Decision Her Residence
Was In Vermont.

NEW YORK, April 17-surrogate
Fowler has handed down 9 decision
that Mrs. Hetty Green was not at the
time of her death, on July Q, 1915, q
resident Of the State Of New York,
and that her estate, variously ssti-
mated at from 500, 1000. 900 to $780,
600, 900, could not be levied upon un-
der the transfer tax law. By this de-
cision the State loses Q tax Of from
$4,000, 900 to Se,0o0,O0o
Thus ends-unIess the case Is ap-
pealed and the decision reversed-the
fgft which was begun the middle of
last February by Col. Edward H r.
Green, her son, and other heirs to
have "the richest woman In the
world" declared a resident of Bellows
Falls, VT, where she was born and
spent her summers during her later
life. Under the Vermont laws II is
expected that the Green Mountain
State win receive q tax of $3.50.
Mrs. Green, in order to escape the
conspicuous public notice which she
disliked, lived IN various boarding
houses in Hoboken under assumed
names, and on this ground the State
Of New Jersey at FIRST contemplated
taking action to have her adjudged
Q resident there. This cjaim, how
ever, was relinquished last month,
when State Comptroller Bugbis held
that she had no legal residence there.
The fact that Mrs. Green while alb
sent from Vermont spent, according
TO the testimony, As much time In New
Jersey as In this State, although she
transacted her business and died In
this city. upset New Yoek's claim upon
her estate. In the opinion Of the sur
rogate.
In the course Of his decision. which
n probably the most important ruling
on the question OF domicile that has
ever been given by the courts in this
State, Surrogate Fowler deplores the
lack Of controlling law on the statu,
of O citizen of particular State stay
ing for some time outside that State
and in another State.
The Importance of some governing
principle concerning the much vexed
problem of legal domicile, in his view
has been shown by the present case
and he urges the adoption of q Fed
eral law based on the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution as the
ruling authority in determining the
conflicting claims Of tax collectors oi
various States

BRILLIANT CROWD
AT CHARITY BALL
Function Given for Benefit of
Young Women's Chris
tan Home.

One of the most brilliant OF the
series OF entertainments for charity
which have contributed so much to
the gayety Of the postLenten season
took place at Rauscher's last evening
under the auspices of Ehe auxiliary
board of the Young womeR's Christ
ian Home.
The ball was attended by distin-
guished company, including many
young people, and the dancing con.
tinued we'll into the small hours OF
the morning.
The Young women's Christian
Home Is self-supporting, but the pro-
ceeds of the entertainment, which was
unusually successful financially as
well as socially, will be used to repair
the buildings.
Never More Attractive.
The ball room suite was never more
attractively decorated, Easter lilies,
American Beauty roses, snap-dragons
and other vari-colored spring flowers
being used in fragrant profusion and
giving point to the name, spring
ball." by which the function was
heralded.
Great American flags festooned at
intervals about the walls gave the
patriotic touch without which no
function Is complete these days, AND
In the flag-bedecked boxes many dis
tinguished guests were entertained
A seated. supper was served at milo
night at small tables gay with yet
low spring blossoms and candles cap
ned with yellow shades.
