President Roosevelt has sent Attorney General Bonaparte a public statement regarding the recent United States Circuit Court decision in the Standard Oil Company, and asks him to consult with Frank B. Kellogg about it. Roosevelt feels Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis has hurt the case by imposing an excessive fine, but that the three who reversed the decision have hurt the “cause of civilization and property.”
