tative statement 10 the Associated Press

Elkins OF West Virginia branded an al
legged interview accredited to his wife TO
the effect that there was no engagement
between Miss Catherine EIkins and the
duke Of Abruzzi. In an emphatic manner,
Senator Elkins said that neither his wife
nor himself could give such an interview,
for the simple reason that II was impos-
slble to deny something that did not exist.
Senator Elkins talked TO the Associated
Press over the long distance telephone
from Elkins. W. Va, and was much exer-
eised over the numerous Wild reports pub
lished from time to time. concerning the
alleged engagement OF his daughter to the
Italian nobleman.
There is no foundation for the many
reports" he said. Neither in Europe nor
in America has any announcement OF an
engagement been made. There is no en-
easement"

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 30.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Thursday night annour
ced in unmistakable terms the determi
nation of the Administration 70 pro-
coed with the prosecution of the Stan
dard Oil case despite the decision adj
verse 10 the Government handed down
by the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals Wednesday. This decision che
President thinks, in no way affects
the merits of the case and re makes
known his decision 10 cause he action
10 be brought again before ,he courts
in such shape, If possible, as TO pre-
vent technicalities interfering with a
decision based upon the actual issues
involved. The statement in the matte
made public Thursday night by Sec
rotary Leob, follows:
"The President has directed the At
torney General to Immediately take
steps for the re-trial of the Standard
Oil case. The reversal of the decis-
ion of the lower court does not in any
shape or way touch ihemerits Of the
case, except in so far as the size of
the fine is concerned. There is abso-
lutely 10 question of the guilt of the
defendants of the exceptionally
grave character of the offense. THE
President would regard It as a gross
miscarriage of justice If through any
technicalities of any kind the defend
ant escaped the punishment which
would have unquestionably been
guilty of such offense. The President
will do every thing in his power to
aver or prevent such miscarriage Of
justice. With this purpose in view,
the President has directed the Aitor-
ney General 10 bring into consultation
Mr.. Frank B. Kellogg in the matter,
and TO do everything possible 10 bring
the offenders to justice"
