TUa opinion wan- written by Judge Peter H. Grosscup and w&? fully concurred in by Judges Seaman and linker. Tho reversal was more than a tem porary setback for the Government, Inasmuch as tho upper court cut the ground out from under the Federal prosecutors In several extremely ln? portant features. Tho reversal wa'l based on the following points: That Judge Landls was wrong In assuming that It. was the business of tho Standard Oil Company of Indiana to make sure that the rates tendered to It by the Alton Railroad were tho lawfully published rates.. This, It was held, threw an unfair burden upon the shipper, whoever ho might be, and tended to check rather than promote industry.

There was a stir that the bailiffs could not chf^rk "is there anything further?" called out Judge Gro?scup. ."If not, this court is now adjourned." [ And with a big buzz the crowd poured out excitedly into the hall. The affair had taken less than four minutes.
