Washington, I). C.—The J-9,240,000
line case of the Standard Oil Com-
pany will not lie reviewed by the su-
premo court of the United States. The
decision to tills effect was announcod
by Chief Justice Fuller fioon after
court convened Monday.
The court's announcement was the
barest formality. No reasons what-
ver were given and tho determina-
tion of the court was stated along
with a number of other cases of com-
paratively little importance. The chief
justice simply announced in so many
words that the petition for certiorari
was denied. Under this ruling the
case will now go back to Judge Lan-
dis' court for a new trial In accord-
ance with the decision of tho court
of appeals.
It Is stated at the department of
justice that the decision gives tho
case Its original status subject to the
views of Judge Orosscttp as contained
111 his decisions of July 22 and Novem-
ber 10, 1908.
These.In effect were:
Klrst, that the trial court (Judgft
Landis) had erred in its rulings on

dence and in Its charge to the jury
In adopting the view that a shipper
can be convicted of accepting a re-
bate even though it is shown on the
matter of intent that he did not know
what the lawful published rate ac-
tually was;
Second, that the true tests of the
number of offenses is not the number

number of single transactions result-
ing In a shipment; that tho offense of
accepting a concession Is the "trans-
action" that the given rate Consumed,
"Whereby tho shipper, for the thing
shipped, no matter how great or how
little its quanity, derives a rate differ-
ent from the established rates;
Third, that the trial court abused
Its discretion in imposing an excees-
sive line of $29,240,000.
The question as to when the case
will again be presented to Judge Lan-
dis for trial depends upon the United
States attorney for the northern dis-
trict of Illinois, but it is expected
that some action toward that end will
be taken within the next, few weeks.
It is probable that Judge Landis will
'again personally conduct |the trial,
but should he so desire, it is entirely
within Ills discretion to request an-
other judge of the same district to

Washington. — President Roosevelt's
big stick crashed down upon the
heads of Representatives Tawney of
Minnesota, Smith of Iowa, Bherley <>f
Kentucky, and Fitzgerald of New York,
when tlie executive sent a special message
to the house of representatives, berating
those solons for being champions of the
succcssful move to place limitations upon
the scope of tho secret service.
The president also de lared that tho
Interpretation of the house of the secret
service clause In his last message was
misunderstood, and had there been any
evidence which would point to the neces-
sity of an investigation of members, such
evidence would long ago have been turned
over to tho proper authorities.
The message was In answer to the res-
olution transmitted from the house in
which the representatives asked for evi-
dence upon which Mr. Roosevelt based
his statements that the "chief argument
in favor of the provision was that the
eongressmen did not themselves wish to
be Investigated by secret service men."
Message of the President
and Reasons Therefor.
The message In part:
"To the Houso of Representatives: I
have received the resolution of the house
of represents tIves of December 17, 1008,
runn'ng as follows:
" 'Whereas, there was contained in the
sundry civil appropriation bill which
passed congress at Its last session and be-
came a law, a provision In reference to
the employment of the secret service In
the treasury department; and
" 'Whereas. In the last annual message
of the president of the United States to
the two houses of congress It was stated
in reference to that provision: "It Is not
too much to say that this amendment has
been of benefit only, and could be of ben-
efit only, to the criminal classes," and It
was further stated: "The chief argument
In favor of the provision was that the
congressmen did not themselves wish to
be Investigated by secret service men,"
and It was further stated: "But If this Is
not considered desirable a special excep-
tion could be made In the law. prohib-
iting the use of the secret service force
In Investigating members of congress. II
would be far better to do this than to
do what actually was done, and strive to
prevent or at least to hamper effective
action against criminals by the executive
branch of the government:" and
" 'Whereas, the plain meaning of his
words Is that the majority of the con-
gressmen were in fear of being Investi-
gated by secret service men and that con-
gress as a whole was actuated by that
motive In enacting the provision in ques-
tion. Now, therefore.
" Be It Resolved, That the president be
requested to transmit to the house any
evidence upon which he based his state-
ments that the 'chief argument In favor
of the provision was that the congress-
men did not themselves wish to be In-
vestigated by secret service men,' and
nlso to transmit to the house any evi-
dence connecting any member of the
house of representatives of the Sixtieth
congress with corrupt action In his official
capacity, and to Inform the house wheth-
er he has Instituted proceedings for the
punishment of any such Individual by the
courts or has reported any such alleged
delinquencies to the house of represent-
atives.'
Cannot Understand Trend of
the House Resolution.
"I am wholly at a loss to understand
the concluding portion of the resolution.
I have made no charges of corruption
against congress nor against any member
of the present house. If I had proof of
such corruption affecting any member of
the house in any matter as to which tho
federal government has jurisdiction, ac-
tion would at once be brought, as was
done in the cases of Senators Mitchell
and Burton, and Representatives William-
son. Herrmann and Drlggs. at different
times since I have been president. This
would simply be doing my duty In the
execution and enforcement of the laws
without respect to persons. But I do not
regard it as within the province or the
duties of the president to report to the
house 'alleged delinquencies' of members,
or the supposed 'corrupt action' of a
member 'In his official capacity.' The
membership of the house Is by the con-
stitution placed within the power of tho
house alone. In the prosecution of crim-
inals and the enforcement of the laws
the president must resort to the courts
of the United States.
"In the third and fourth clauses of the
preamble It is stated that the meaning o
my words Is that 'the majority of the
congressmen are In fear of being inves
tigated by secret service men' and that
'congress as a whole was actuated by
that motive In enacting the provision In
question.' and that this is an impeach-
ment of the honor and integrity of the
congress. These statements are not I
think In accordance with the fai ts.
Declares He Said Nothing
to Warrant t*ie Statement.
"A careful reading of this message will
show that I said nothing to warrant the
statement that 'the majority of the « oii-
gressmen were In fear of being investi-
gated by the secret service men,' or 'that
congress as a whole was actuated by that
motive.' I did not make any such state-
ment in this message. Moreover I have
never made any such statement about
congress as a whole, nor, with a fevs in-
evitable exceptions, about the members
of congress. In any message or article or
speech. On the contrary 1 have always
not only deprecated but vigorously re-
sented the practice of Indiscriminate at-
tack upon congress, and indiscriminate
condemnation of all congressmen, wise
and unwise, fit anil unfit, good and bad
alike. No one realists more than I the
importance of co-operation betw. on the
executive and congress, and no one holds
the authority and dignity of the congress
of the United States in liigh<'t respect
than 1 do. I have not the slightest svm-
pathv with the practice of judging men.

Charge in Resolution Due
to Density of the Solons.
"This allegation In the resolution, there-
fore, must certainly be due to an entire
failure to understand my message.
"The resolution continues: 'That the
president be requested to transmit to the
house any evidence upon which he based
his statements that the 'chief argument
In favor of the provision was that the
congressmen did not themselves wish to
be Investigated by secret-service men
This statement, which was an attack
upon no one, still less upon the congress,
is sustained by the facts.
"If you will turn to the Congressional
Record for May 1 last, pages 5553 to 5560,
Inclusive, you will find the debate on this
subject. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota. Mr.
Smith of Iowa, Mr. Sherley of Kentucky,
and Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, appear
in this debate as the special champions
of the provision referred to. Messrs. Par-
sons, Bennet and Drlscoll were the lend-
ers of those who opposed the adoption
of the amendment and upheld the right of
the government to use tho most efficient
means possible In order to detect crim-
inals and to prevent and punish crime
The amendment was carried in the com
mlttee of the whole, where no votes of
the Individual members are recorded, so
I am unable to discriminate by mention
Ing the members who voted for and the
members who Voted against the provision
but its passage, the journal records, was
greeted with applause. I am well aware
however, that In any case of this kind
many members who have no particular
knowledge of the point ut Issue, are con-
tent s'mply to follow the lead of the
committee which had considered the mat-
ter. and I have no doubt that many mem-
bers of the house simply followed the
lead of Messrs. Tawney and Smith, with-
out having had the opportunity to know
very much as to the rights and wrongs
of the question.
Chip Is Knocked Off
Roosevelt's Shoulder.
"I would not ordinarily attempt in this
way to discriminate between members of
the house, but ns objection has been ta-
ken to my language. In which 1 simply
<*poke of the action of the house as a
whole, and as apparently there Is a de-
sire that I should thus discriminate, 1 will
state that I think the responsibility rest-
ed on the committee on appropriations,
under the lead of tho members whom I
havo mentioned.
"Now as to the request of the -congress
that I give the evidence for my state-
ment that the chief argument In favor
of the provision was that the congress-
men did not themselves wish to be inves-
tigated by secret service men.
"The part of the Congressional Record
to which I have referred above entirely
supports this statement. Two distinct
lines of argument were followed in the
debate. One concerned the question
whether the law warranted the employ-
ment of the secret service in departments
other than tho treasury, and this did not
touch the merits of the service In the
least. The other line of argument went
to the merits of the service, whether law-
fully or unlawfully employed, and here
the chief If not the only argument used
was that the service should be cut down
and restricted because Its members had
'shadowed* or Invest I Rated members of
congress and other officers of tho govern-
ment. If we examine the debate In de-
tail it appears that most of what was
urged in favor of the amendment took the
form of the simple statement that the
committee held that there had been a
•violation of law' by the use of the secret
service for other purposes than suppress-
ing counterfeiting (and one or two other
matters which can be disregarded), and
that such language was now to be used
as would effectually prevent all such 'vio-
lation of law* hereafter. Mr. Tawnev. for
Instance, says: 'It was for the purpose
of stopping the use of this service in
every possible way by the departments of
the government that this provision was
Inserted': and Mr. Smith says: 'Now. that
was the only way in which any limitation
could be put upon the activities of the
secret service.' Mr. Fitzgerald followed in
the same vein, and by far the largest
part of the argument against the employ-
ment of the secret service was confined
to the statement that It was in 'violation
of law.' Of course, such a statement Is
not In any way an argument In favor of
the justice of the provision. It is not an
argument for the provision at all. It is
simply a statement of what the gentle-
men making it conceive to have been the
law.
Regarding Restrictions of
the Secret Service.
"There was both by Implication and di-
rect statement the assertion that It was
the law. and ought to be the law, that
the secret service should only .be used
to suppress counterfeiting: and that the
law should be made more rigid than ever
In this respect.
Incidentally I may say that in my
judgment there Is ample legal authority
for the statement that this appropriation
law to which reference was made Im-
poses no restrictions whatever upon the
use of the secret service men. but re-
lates solely to the expenditure of the
money appropriated. Mr. Tawney In the
debate stated that he had tn his pos-
session 'a letter from the secretary of the
treasury received a few days ago in
whh h the secretary of the treasury 'him-
self admits that the provisions under
which the appropriation has been mad"
have been violated year after year for a
number of years In his own department.'
1 append herewith as appendix A. the let-
ter referred to. It makes no such admis-
sion as that which Mr. Tawney alleges.
It contains on the contrary, as you will
see by reading It, an 'emphatic protest
against any such abridgment of the
rights delegated to the secretary of the
treasury by existing law,' and concludes I When this acti<
by asserting that he 'Is quite within his ! committee. w d<
rights in thus employing the service of Senator Allisot
these agents and t; ut ti . w-•: •! - • '•
Mr. Sherley stated that there had
been 'pronounced abuses growing out of
the use of the secret service for purposes
other than those Intended,' putting his
statement In the form of a question, and
In the came form further stated that the
'private conduct' of 'members of congress,
senators,' and others ought not to be ln-
estlgated by the secret service, and that
they should not Investigate a 'member of
ongress' who had been accused of 'con-
duct unbecoming a gentleman and a
member of congress.' In addition to these
assertions couched as questions, he made
positive declaration, that 'This secret
service at one time was used for the pur-
pose of looking nlto the personal con-
duct of a member of congress.' This ar-
gument of Mr. Sherley, the only real ar-
gument as to the merits of the question
made on behalf of the committee on ap-
propriations, will be found In columns 1
and 2 of page 5T>56, and column 1 of page
5567 of the Congressional Record. In col-
umn 1 of page 5566 Mr. Sherley refers to
Impropriety of permitting the secret
service men to Investigate men In the
departments, officers of the army and
navy and members of congress; In col-
umn 1, page 5557, he refers only to mem-
bers of congress. His speech puts most
weight on the investigation of members
of congress.
"What appears in the record is filled
out and explained by an article which ap-
peared In the Chicago Inter-Ocean of
January 3, 1904, under a Washington
headline, and which marked the begin-
ning of this agitation against the secret
service. It was a special article of about
3,000 words, written, as I was then In-
formed and now understand, by Mr. L.
W. Busbey, at that time private secretary
to the speaker of the house. It con-
tained an utterly unwarranted attack on
the secret service division of the treas-
ury department and its chief.
"At the time of this publication the
work of tho secret service, which was
thus assailed, Included especially the in-
vestigation of great land frauds In the
west, and the securing of evidence to
help the department of Justice in the
beef-trust Investigations at Chicago,
which resulted in successful prosecutions.

"These methods proved unavailing to
prevent the wrong. Messrs. Tawney and
Smith, and their fellow members on the
appropriations committee paid no heed to
flic protests; and as the obnoxious pro-
vision was Incorporated in the sundry
civil bill, it was Impossible for me to con-
sider or discuss it on its merits, as I
should have done had it been In a sep-
arate bill. Therefore I have now* taken
the only method available, that of dis-
cussing it in my message to congress; and
as all efforts to secure what I regard as
proper treatment of the subject without
recourse to plain speaking had failed, I
have spoken plainly and directly, and
have set forth the facts in explicit terms.
"Since 1901 the investigations covered
by the secret service division—under the
practice which had been for many years
recognized as proper and legitimate, and
which had received the sanction of the
highest law officers of the government—
have covered a wide range of offenses
against the federal law. By far the most
important of these related to the public
domain, as to which there was un-
covered a far-reaching and widespread
system of fraudulent transaetlons involv-
ing both the illegal acquisition and the
illegal fencing of government land; and?
iti connection with both these offenses,
the crimes of perjury and subornation of
perjury. Some of the persons involved
in these violations were of great wealth
and ot' wide political and social Influence.
Both their corporate associations fTnd
their political affiliations, and the lawless
character of some of their employes,
made the investigations not only difficult
but dangerous. In Colorado one of the
secret service men was assassinated.

Secret Service Starred.
"In connection with the Nebraska prose- I

cured the return to the government of I
over a million acres of grazing land; j
in Colorado of more than 2,000 acres of |
mineral land, and suits are now pending '
Involving 150,000 acres more.
"All these investigations in the land '
cases were undertaken in consequence
of Mr. Hitchcock, the then secretary
of the Interior, becoming convinced that
there were extensive frauds committed
in his department; and the ramifications
of the frauds were so far-reaching that
he was afraid to trust his own officials '
to deal in thoroughgoing fashion with
them. One of the secret service men ac-
cordingly resigned and was appointed
in the interior department to carry on
this work. The first thing he discovered
was that the special agents' division or j
corps of detectives of the land office of j
the inferior department was largely un-
der the control of the land thieves; and j
In consequence the investigations above
referred to had to be made by secret I
service men.
"If the present law, for which Messrs. ;
Tawney, Smith, and the other gentle- I
men I have above mentioned are respon-
sible. had then been In effect, this ac-
tion would have been impossible, and
most of the criminals would unquestion-

stance can be imagined of the desirabil-
ity of having a central corps of skilled I

be assigned, if necessary In large num-
bers, to investigate some violation of the
