NO REVIEW OF OIL CASE
SUPREME COURT DECISION ON
$50, 100000 FINE.
Action Leaves Standing the Court
Of Appeals-Judgment Ravor-
able to the Company.

The twenty-nine- million -dollarfine case
OF the Standard Oil Company will not be
reviewed by the Supreme Court of the
United States The decision of the court
to this effect was announced by Chief
Justice Fuller soon after the court con-
vened today.
The case came TO the court on petit
ton filed by the government asking the
court in a petition for writ of certiorari
to order up the record in the case for a
review of the decision of the United States
circuit court of appeals for the seventh
circuit by which Judge Landis' original
decision imposing fine of S23. .0OU. 600
against the Standard Oil Company for ac-
cepting rebates from the railroad COM
panies was reversed In the Supreme
right of the court to interfere in view of
the fact that the case had been passed
upon by the court Of appeals, the govern
ment contending for such privileges as d
right, while it was urged in behalf OF the
oil company that the precedents were all
against such proceeding. The action of
the court consisted in the announcement
that the governments petition would not
be granted.
The effect of this announcement will be
to leave standing the decision of the
court of appeals which was adverse to
the government and favorable to the
company
