dent In Poor. Health-
Washington. Recently rumors have
been current In Washington that an
other running mate may have to be
chosen for Judge Taft as tho RcDubli-
can nominee for vice-president, because
ot tne continued illness of James S.
Sherman, who was named for second

It is known that Mr. Sherman Is far
from being a well man, and that as soon
as he is strong enough he is to undergo
an operation, and he may be forced on
that account to give up his place on
the ticket. Thus far nothing is known
Cubllcly of any detailed consideration

NO LET-UP ON THE STANDARD
President Orders Bonaparte to Pro
ceed for Betrlal of Case.
Oyster Bay. President Roosevelt to
night announced in unmistakable terms
the determination of the administration
to nroceed with the nrosecution of the
Standard Oil case, despite tho decision
adverse to the covernment handed down
by the United States circuit court of
appeals yesterday. This decision, the
president thinks, in noway affects tho
merits of the case, and bo makes his
known decision to cause the action to
bo brought again before the courts in
such shape, it possible, as to prevent
technicalities interfering with a decision
based upon tho actual Issues Involved.
The statement In the matter made
public tonight by Secretary Loeb fol
lows: "Tho president has directed tho attorney-general
to immediately take
Bteps for tho retrial of tho Standard Oil
case. The reversal of tbo decision of
the lowor court does not in uny shapo
or way touch the merits of tho case, ex
cept in so far us tbo size of tbo fine Is
concerned."

Chicago. Judges GroMcup, Baker
and Hcaman, sitting In tho Fed
eral Court of Appeals, Wednesday
knocked out Judge Indls' $29,210,009
fine Imposed on tho Standard Oil Com
pany far robatlnft.
Tho higher court reversed tho de
cision nnd remanded the case to the
lower court for a now trial. Tho
Standard Oil attorneys left court with
their faces wreathed la smiles of tri
umph,
The decision Is a scathing arraign
ment of Judgo Land!, In which It was
asked If tho court bollotrd himself
above the law In Imposing a fine that
would fall on tho shoulders of tho
mother corporation tho Standard Oil
Company of Now Jersey when tho
Indiana corporation alone, under thn
law, could bo held responsible.
It seemed to be tho Irony of fate
that Judge Crosscut should have writ
ton the decision of tho upper court
He not only wrote tho decision but
read the decision to tho waiting
throng In the court room.
Judges Not Friendly.
Judgo Grosscup and Judge Landls
have not been the best of friends for
eomo tlmo as a result of certain stale .
tnents made months ago by Judge
Land Is concerning federal Judges, who
talk publicly on matters which might
come under their Judicial attention.
Tbo decision said la part:
"Briefly stated, the reason of tho
trial court for imposing this sentence
was because, after conviction and he-
fore sentence It was brought out on
an examination of somo of tho offi
cers and stockholders of the Standard
Oil Company of Now Jersey, that the
capital stock of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, the defendant before
tho corut, was principally owned by
the ew Jersey corporation, a corpor
ation not before the court the trial
court adding (upon no evidence, how
ever, to bo found In the record, and
upon no Information specifically re
ferred to) that In concessions of the
character for which the defendant be
fore tho court had been Indicted, tried
and convicted, the Now Jersey corpor
ation was not a virgin offender.
Landls Is Scored.
"Is a sentence such as this, based
on reasoning such as that, sound?
Passing over the fact that no word of
ovldcnco or other Information support
In gtho trial court's comment Is to he
found In the record, would the com
ment, If duly proven, Justify u sen
tence such as this one that other
wise would not have been Imposed?
Can a court, without abuso of Judi
cial discretion, wipe out all the prop
erty of tho defendant before the court
and all tho assets to which Us cred
itors look. In an effort to reach and
punish a party that Is not before the
court a patty that has not been con
victed, has not been tried, has not
been Indicted even?
