HASTEN DECISION
ON STANDARD FINE
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT OPPOSE
EFFORT TO APPEAL.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-No contrary mo-
tions will be fled by the government
against the petition for a certification
OF certain questions to the supreme
court Of the United States, which at
torneys for the Standard Oil ON
pany recently sent in to the United
States circuit court Of appeals here.
This announcement was made to
the latter tribunal today by Edwin ".
Sims, United States district attorney,
who has just returned from q confer
ence with Attorney General Bona
parte in Washington.
The conclusion not to contest
means that a final decision in the APP
peal from the $29, 240, 900 fine proba-
bly, will be fastened. Attorneys for
the oil company ask that their conten-
ton that the Elkins law was repealed
by the passage Of the Hepburn act be
certified to the supreme court at
once, so that It may be adjudicated in
connection with q case involving the
same point in which the Great North.
ern Railroad company is interested.
II the contention is upheld the de-
cision would operate to invalidate not
only the indictments upon which the
big fine were based, but also q large
number Of other indictments involv-
ing charges of receiving or giving re-
bates.
