ice out of the United States circuit court

horn. Hook, Adams and Vandevanter, and
the point at issue was taken under adj
viselneat. Judge Sanborn wrote the opin-
ion Judges Nandevanter. Hook and
Adams concurred in the decision.
The attorneys for the oil companies
and the oil magnates set up three rea-
sons why those not residents of tile east
ern judicial district of Missouri should
not be compelled to come here and tes-
tjfv in the trial of the governments case
They were:
First-That the court was without urls
diction to make the order bringing them
