TRUSTS GET A NE TRIL.
Standard Oil and . Tobacco Caes Get
Rehearing no Reasons are Given.
Washin gton , Apfil 11, The
United States supreme -court to
day decided to give a rehearing
in the case of the Standard - Oil
and tobacco trust .cases. v
This means that Taft will prob
ably appoint Brewer's successor
at once.
Chief Justice Fuller did not an
nounce any decision further than
to state that the case ,had been
reassigned to-the calander. No
reason was given as to why this
action was taken, but it is assum
ed that the death of the late Jus
tice Brewer was the cause of the
court V action. The general
opinion around the court was that"
the arguments will not take place
unti Justice Brewer's successor
is appointed. If his successor is
appointed soon the new argument
will be had at this term of the
court, ,
