LEAK" IN COURT CIRCLES

Oyster Bay, N Y, July rs. - Presl-
dent Roosevelt last night announced
in unmistakable terms the determine
ton of the administration TO proceed
with the prosecution OF the Standard
Oil case. despite the decision adverse
to the government handed down by
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals Wednesday. This decision, the
president thinks, in no way affects
the merits of the case, and he makes
known his decision to cause the ac-
ton to be brought again before the
courts in such shape if possible as to
prevent technicalities interfering with
a decision based upon the actual is
sues involved. The statement in the
matter, made public last night by Sec
rotary Loeb, follows:
Call Kellogg Into Case.
"The president has directed the at
torney general to take immediate
steps for the retrial of the Standard
Oil case The reversal of the deci-
sion of the lower court does not in any
shape or way touch the merits of the
case, except in SO far as the size Of
the fine is concerned There is abso
!utelv no question of the guilt of the
defendants or of the exceptionally
grave character Of the offense. The
president would regard 1t as gross
miscarriage of justice If through an
technicalities of any kind the defend
ant escaped the punishment which
would have unquestionably been
melted out to any weaker defendant.
who had been guilty of such offense.
The president will do everything in
his power to avert or prevent such
miscarriage of justice. With this pur-
pose in view the president has direct
ed the attorney general to bring into
| consultation Mr.. Frank B. Kellogg In
the matter ana to do everything pos
sible to bring the offenders to Jus
tice."

Grosscup Can Retire Now.
Judge Peter S. Grosscup's early re-
tirement from the federal bench was
the reason given and generally ac-
cepted for the quick decision of the
federal court of appeals in the Stand
ard Oil case. The report was to the
effect that the judge desired to clear
up his docket so he can resign and
practice law as soon as possible.
