VIENNA, Oct. 9.-The Turkish forts
at Constantinople have fired on a
vessel in the Bosprorus flying the new
Bulgarian flag, according to a message
received here.
Turkey regards England as her
only friend now. The Servias disre-

warnings threatens to precipitate a
crisis involving all the Balkans in war
the ramifications of which will be
world wide. Servia is massing her

first tangible evidence today of sup
porting Turkey by ordering the bat

IN OIL FINE CASE

U. S LAWYERS CRITICISED

Federal Court Of Appeals Denies Gov
ernment's Application For a Rehear-
ing of Famous Relating Case.
Court Says 1t Has a Right to Ex.
pect That Counsel Will Not Misuse
Legal Terms to Spread MisinfOrma-
tion to Attract Wide Public Atten-
tion.
Chicago. Nov 1.-THE governments
petition for a rehearing of the case in
which the United States circuit court
OF appeals reversed the judgment fin
ing the Standard Oil company, OF
Indiana, S29240.OOO for rebating, was
denied in the court Of appeals.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
government will now attempt to bring
the matter before the supreme court
on writ of certiOrari.
The governments petition intimated
that if the opinion of the judges of the
appellate court - Grosscup. Seaman
and Baker-were allowed to stand, it
would nullify nearly every shred OF
rate reformatory legislation Of the
Roosevelt administration.
The petition closed with state
ment that if that opinion were permit
ted to stand unmodi1ed it would tend
to encourage disobedience to law, to
impede the enforcement of salutary
statutes. and largely to defeat their
purposes.
In its opinion overruling the petit
tion for a hearing the appellate court
meets the points raised by the gov
erament and in closing pays its re-
spects to Attorney General Bonaparte
and other counsel who signed the pc
tition:
Courts have the right to expect
that counsel accustomed to practice in
the courts of review not only know
the meaning of legal terms constantly
in use in discussions and opinions of
these courts. but will not misuse such
terms to spread misinformation re-
specting a judgment to attract wide
public attention.
n remark the germaneness Of
which that. in the nature of the case,
is bound the bar of the country will
perceive when we say that all that
has to be done to obviate the objection
made is to insert a clause so that the
portion Of the opinion objected to will
read. a view OF the law that is EN-
bodied in the charge, and carried out
in the rulings. excluding, as a result
Of the charge on that point. the prof
fered testimony Of one Edward Bo- |
gardus
In addition to this slight change,
Judge Baker amplified the original |
opinion by two paragraphs, classifying /
the courts opinion as to what consti-
Lutes a separate offense, and dealing
with the governments contention that .
may use another to com
nit offense. thus escaping punish
nent
Immediately upon the overruling OF

llied for a stay Of mandate, which
vas granted. thus leaving the case still
before the court of appeals pending the
attempt to have it taken
