Court Of Appeals Accused Of Error.
The governments petition in the
Standard OIL case charges:
That the court OF appeals in its
opinion did not correctly quote Judge
lands ruling in the Standard Oil
case
That the action Of the court OF ap.
peals would make of the interstate
commerce act a mere phantom stat.
ute
That the court Of appeals has mis-.
stated not only the record as to what
evidence was admitted. but has also
misstated the construction the trial
judge placed upon the statute
That the court of appeals has done
Il great injustice TO Judge Lands by
misstating what he did In connection
with the fine imposed upon the Stand.
ard oil Company.
That the court OF appeals accused
Judge lands Of assuming To fine the
Standard oil Company OF New Jersey.
when in fact the language used By
Judge lands was in connection with
the Standard OIL Company Of Indiana.
That ON account OF the size of the
fine alone there is no necessity for a
retrial of the case.
That the ruling OF the court OF an.

trary to the opinion of Presiding
Judge Grosscup In the rule laid down

That the effect OF the construction
OF the statutes announced by the court
