.BONAPARTE ASKS
FOR REHEAR|NG
WANTS SUPREME COURTS TO RE-
OPEN THE FAMOUS s2e, 100000
REBATE CASE.
SEEKS WRIT OF cERToRARi TO
ALLOW A REVIEW OF THE
EVIDENCE.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.-At-
torney General Bonaparte filed yester.
day a petition for writ of certiorari
in the supreme court OF the United
States urging that court to issue
writ of certiorari to the circuit court OF
appeals for the seventh circuit to re-
view the judgment Of that court re-
versing the rulings of Judge Lands in
the case Of which the Standard Oil
company was fined $29.000,000 on the
charge of violating the antitrust law.
The attorney general takes the posi-
ton that the court of appeals was
without Jurisdiction when 1t reversed
Judge Landis' decision.
Four reasons for the issuance of the
writ are given, as follows:
"Q)-It is highly desirable in the
public interest and to promote justice
in the further prosecution and final
determination of this particular case,
considered in and by itself.
"2)-It is indispensable for the in
struction and advice of the govern
ment in the intelligent administration
and enforcement of the laws involved
".(3)-It is necessary for the con.
troll and guidance of the federal courts
in disposing of similar cases now ac-
tually pending or likely to arise IN the
near future.
"(4)-The issue of the writ is neces-
sary also in order that the business
community and the people at large
may be Informed and advised as to
the meaning of the law by the judy
ment of this court.
Case is Important.
Whether" says the petition in urg-
ing the granting OF the writ, ''the
government is, or Is not right in it's
contentious. we respectfully but very
earnestly urge that the court should
issue the writ. The case Is of the
first consequence. The principles de-
cided control the entire meaning and
purpose Of the law and impair the
underlying policy of congress. II. for
example, 1t Is necessary that the gov
eminent should prove actual knowl-
edge by the shipper of the lawful
rate, the law will be altogether de-
prived of effect against the very ship
pers who violate 1t. In the view OF
the government, 1t is extremely i'm
portant that the law should be deter.
mined and expounded now, at this
stage Of the present case, by this
court
