 Mobile, Oct. 2s.-Special.)- )--Ritten- house smith. acting solicitor for Bald win County, who was one of the central figures in the affray at Bay Minette Wednes day night, stated to The Adver- tiser correspondent tonight that the allegations of Dr. Lambert and Milton Cooper, as we'll as that of Sheriff Arm strong with reference to the affair. were incorrect to a large extent.

FREED BY RIDGEWAY
HAAS AND PECKHAN DIsCHARGED
 BY COMMISSIONER.
No Such Crime as Misconduct fin the Statutes of the United gtmtes. 0frense Against District
 of CoIumbfa

New York, Oct. 2s.--United States Commissioner Ridgeway today dis- charged from custody Frederick Peck ham and Moses Haas, who were charged with having conspired with Edwin $. Holmes, IT,, to defraud the Government by securing advance information of the Governments cotton report. Com- missioner Ridgeway held that neither of the men had committed a crime within the meaning of the statutes.
 1t was in the defense of Peckham and Haas, that lawyer quoted a portion of President Rooseveit's letter Of ac- ceptance in which the President de- clared that there was no common law of the United States that could give Jurisdiction of an offense in the Federal court
 The indictment against Holmes charged him with misconduct. which the defense declared was not an of- fense known to the Federal statutes The latter, he said, is an offense at common law in the District of Coium- bia and in no way mentioned as an offense in the Federal statutes. He holds. further. that it would be im- possible for the accused men to con- spire with Holmes to commit a crime not recognized by Federal law. The opinion further states:
 The indictment should not be de- clared insufficient through any techni- cal deficiency, and I shall not so de- clare 1t. The question Is not whether the indictment is open to criticism, but whether it states an offense sufficient in law to constitute a crime"
 Carried to it's logical result" con- cIudes the opinion" would it not fol- low that for anything wrongfully done by any employe of the Government. whether in the highest or lowest posi- tion. or for some trivial act of mis- conduct by him committed in the Dis trict of Columbia. or should any such employe agree with some other person to do anything, or omit to do anything, which might be considered inconsist- ent with the duties of the position held by him, he must be adJudged guilty of an offense against the United States and so render himself liable to be ap- prehended in San Francisco or Alaska, or some other distant part of our coun-

President Disappointed Mayor.

The failure of President Roosevelt to reply to the telegraphic invitation of Mayor Bliss to visit the city or to have the cruiser on which he embarked to visit the city, caused some disappoint- ment, and especially to the Mayor. who had expected an acceptance of the in vitation.
 The point was made by the Mayor in his telegram to the President that there was water enough in Pensacola bay to permit of Mir. Roosevelts em- barkation right at the docks, and this would have made impossible the chance of accident~ Even the big cruiser on which is the Presidept could have entered the harbor\ and could have come within 100 yards of the ter ninals of the railroad.
