FILES ITS BRIEF
STANDARD OIL ANTAGONIzEs PIE.
 TETON OF GOVERNMENT.
The Standard Contends That the Law Does Not Authorize q Review By the United States
 Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 19..-rhe Standard oil Company's brief in the proceedings of the United States against that com pany on the charge of accepting re. bates from the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company, in which the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois imposed a fine of asp,240,000, was today filed in the su- preme Court of the United States.
 The case comes before the court on a petition by the Government for a writ of certiorari, bringing 1t up for review of the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sew enth Circuit, by which court the Dis trict Courts decision was reversed. The brief antagopizes the petition. and this opposition is based principally on the ground that the law does not au- thorize a review by the Supreme Court on an application of the Government on a judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals in a criminal case by which sustained and disposed of by reversing the judgment and sentence of the trial court"
 It is eontended that in a case of this character, writ of certiorari is equivalent to a writ of error ana that "the policy of the law is against the review of a judgment in favor of the ACCuSEQ Tn Q LA1C. AA AnG ths stance of the Government.
 Much of the brief Is technical in character. but there are occasional passages which depart from that char aeterizatton. It is pointed out that cents was the lawful rate on petroleum for all shipments from Chicago. to East St. Louis except from the stations at East Chicago, Hammond, Ind, Indiana Harbor and Whiting, or other suburban E,a these points the government contends that the railroad was required to charge IS cents per hundred or three times the Chicago rate and that there fore the Standard Company, which shipped from the suburb of Whiting at the Chicago rate, was properly mulcted by the District Court in the sum of s2s, 24o,OOO. for not shipping at and paying a prohibitive rate of three times as much as the Chicago rate"
 Referring to the governments con- tention that the District Courts as- sessment of penalty was in the proper exercise of the personal discretion of It's presiding judge (Mr Landls) the brief declares that This is discovery which has been left to the learned counsel for the government to make at a very late date in the history of our Jurisprudence.
 "This view that the trial judge ex- ercised A personal power and disere- ton was apparently shared by the learned District Judge himself, and the record and judgment of the trial court affords a striking demonstration of the wisdom of the rugged barons who wrested the Magma Charta from --ing John and of our ancestors In imbed- ding its sanctions in the bill of rights in our constitution"
 In conclusion, 1t Is urged that the granting of the writ would not be jus tihed.

Representative Alexander Introduces
 BuI Relative to Mexican War
 Washington, Dec. 19.--If a bill which Representative Alexander of Missouri has introduced becomes q law, the teamsters who were engaged as such during the war with Mexico will be placed upon the pension roll, The government has heretofore refuS- ed to grant pensions to teansters. al- though Approximately pressed to do so in many cases connected with the civil war.
 It is now urged that the men who had charge of the wagons in the con- fiict with Mexico performed a very essential service and in addition. were exposed to many risks at the hands of Indians as we'll as the regular ene- my It is also stated that compara- lively few of these teamsters are left. If they should succeed in obtaining recognition it is possible that sini- lar effort in behalf of the drivers of the civil war would soon follow.
