l,r1CAGO. Aug 21.-Counsel for the
uovernment today filed petition for
robearing by the United States court
- anpeals in the case of the Standard
MI company, of Indiana, in which
7udge Landis assessed the $4,000, 900
sne His decision was reversed by the
.i,rbar court and an action for rehear-
i,r was recommended by Attorney
General Bonaparte.
The court of appeals laid down the
-r,e that it is necessary for the gov
orrment to show beyond a reasonable
doubt, as a part Of its case that the
sbinner actually knew what the lawful
,,,blshed and filed rate was. The gov
ornment contends that this is an i'm
nossibility; rule that it is contrary to
the purpose of the Elkins act; that it is
contrary TO the general rule applicable
IN criminal cases; that put into effect
Il would make the interstate commerce
act "a mere Will-o'-t -the-wisp OF legis-
lation. a phantom statute, destitute of
strength or substance
The government contends in the Pc
ttion that the court of appeals has
misstated not aonly the record as 10
what evidence was admitted, but has
also misstated the construction which
the trial Judge placed upon the statute,
and that for this reason there SHOULD
he a thorough reargument upon the
onIy proposition as to which the ruling
of the trial Judge up to the verdict
Of guilty, is reversed.
The government contends that an
examination of the record will show
that the court did not rule out the tes-
timonv tending to show want of knoWi-
edge, but that on the contrary all
rroper evidence tending to show thai
the defendant was ignorant of the
facts with reference to the legal rate
was admitted for the consideration OF
the iurv. and that there was ample
evidence to show that the defendant
did know what the legal rate was.
In other words, the government con-
tends vigorously and with references
"a the record that the reversal of the
case, so far as the ruling of the trial
mdge with reference to ignorance on
the part of the shipper as a defense
is concerned. is based upon mlsstate-
ment by the court of the record in the
case as 10 the admission of the eVl-
dpnce and TO a misunderstandi by
the court of what the trial judge ruled
with reference to the admission of evi-
dence and how he really charged the
jury,
The government strenuously con-
tends that the effect of the construc-
lion of the statute announced by tne
court of appeals is to nullify he inter-
state commerce act so far as Shippers
Are concerned: to make its enforce
ment impossible, and to plunge INC
country oorair into the deplorable con-

dition Of railroad determinations and
favoritism which existed prior to f,s
passage.
The government contends that the
court of appeals has no right to place
this construction upon the statute in
the fact of the fact that the very
question involved in this case has been
expressly left open by the supreme
court in the Armour Packing COM
pany case, recently decided by that
court. The precise question involved
in this case was stated by the supreme
court in that case. 1t was not decided
by the supreme court, however, be-
cause it was not involved but was left
open.
The government insists that before
laying down this harsh rule and prac-
tically multiplying the law the court of
appeals should certify in accordance
with the statute this question 20 "A Il
supreme court for its decision; that
no court short of the supreme court
should undertake practically to wipe
the interstate commerce act from the
statutes
The petition states before the gov
ernment is required to try this case
under the rigid rule of construction
laid down by this court, is it not man
not only of justice in this case, but in
the interest of a final and definite con-
struction of this important statute,
that judgment be taken of the high
est tribunal of the nation?"
The government contends chat the
court of appeals in it's opinion, has laid
down an erroneous rule for determin-
ing the number of offenses.
The government contends that each
shipment is the basis of a distinct Of
fense; and chat in this case each car
load was a separate shipment.
The circuit court OF dppedIS HAS
held that there is but one offense ror
each settlement of freight
The government contends that the
rule laid down by the court of appeals
is contrary to the principles of me
Elkins act, and leaves it to the shipper
and carrier to elect for how many OF
fenses they will be prosecuted and how
much they shall be fined.
The petition concludes:
''It is therefore respectfully submit
ted:
