ton Of the Standard OIL case, despite
the decision adverse to the govern

States circuit court Of appeals This
decision the president thinks, in no

and he makes known his decision t.
cause the action to be brought again
before the courts in such shape, If pos
sible, to prevent the teChniCalities in

the actual issues involved. The state.
mcnt in the matter made public by
Secretary Loeb, follows:
THE president has directed the at

steps for the retrial of the STANDARD

Cision of the lower court does not in
any shape or way touch the merits OF
the case, except insofar as the size OF
the fine is concerned. There is absO

defendants or OF the exceptionally
grave character of the offense. The
president would regard it as gross
miscarriage of justice If, through any
techniCalities OF any kind, the defend
ant escaped the punishment. which
would have unquestionably been
meted out to any weaker defendant
who had been guilty % such offense
The president will do everything in
his power to avert or prevent such
miscarriage of justice. With this
purpose in view, the president has di
rected the attorney general to bring
