Mr. Justice Van Devanter delivered the opinion of the court:

This case is, in all material respects, like that of Guffey v. Smith, just decided [237 U.S. 101, 59 L. ed. --, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 526]. The two cases were argued together, and the views expressed in that are decisive of this.

The decrees below are reversed, and the case is remanded to the District Court, with like directions as in that case.

Decree reversed.
