The train had just passed the juno

in hand, he commanded Louis Wandell,
driver of the locomotive, to stop the

the track a short distance.
Wandell, covered as he was by the
mans revolver. was about to comply

he cared to amplify the statement he
made last night regarding President
RoOsevelt's ordering a new trial for
the Standard Oil case. Judge Grosscup.
who was one of the judges rendering
the decision, said:
NO. I do not wish to seem TO take
the attitude of contention with the
president"
In discussing the presidents powers
in the matter in ordering a new trial.
the justice remarked that they are
simply those of any defeated litigant-
no more. no less. AS the representa-
tive of the government, the executive
can ask for a reconsideration of the
case which has just been decided adj
versely to the government by the
court of appeals. which rendered the
decision. but no demand can be made
as a matter of right under such cir
cumstanceS."
