no CRIME Was COMMITTED
Decision OF Commissioners Rtdxcway i'm
the Cases Against Peckham and
Haas.

Washington. October 2s.-un;-es
States Commissioner Ridgeway today
discharged from custody Frederick
Peckham and Moses Haas, who we're
charged with having conspired Wit.
Edwin 5. Holmes Jr., to defraud Inc
government by securing advance IN
formation Of the governments cot II
report Commissioner Ridgeway held
that neither of the men had committed
a crime within TIE meaning of the ST AZ
utes.
II was in the defense of Peckhsm
and Haas that a lawyer quoted a p1r-
ton OF President Roosevelt's letter o.
acceptance in which the President mad
declared that there was no common
law OF the Uni.ed States that could
give jurisdiction Of an offense In a I'D
eral court.
The indictment against Holmes
charged him with misconduct which
n defense dec.sred was not an cf
Tense known to The federal statutes.
In his opinion Commissioner Ridge
way quotes at length the indictment
found against the accused men, en-
reviews the duties of Statistician
Holmes in connection with the CROP
cotton report, ard the further fact that
the indictment charges Holmes with
official misconduct" The. latter, ne
states, is an offense at common law IN
District of Columbia, and in ma wa
mentioned as an offense in The federol
statutes. He holds further that II would
be impossible for the accused men To
conspire with Holmes TO commit .
crime not recognized by federal iaw.

pending imperial approval Of the Senate's new

In reply the bureau of the Constitutionalists,
now embracing practically all the Finnish

active resistance. announces a programme or
meetings throughout the country for the dis
cussion Of the resolutions submitted to the
Helsingfors congress- and practically defes the

win be held in spite of police measures.

An excited meeting of the Associated Building
Trades was held yesterday afternoon and evening in

locked out were represented, except the Brother

Building Trades The following resolutions were
carried by a large majority vote after stormy dis

FRANCE IN NO HURRY.
Has No Reply from Venezuela, but
Will Be Patient.

Paris, Sept 2S.-The Foreign Office has
not vet received Venezuela's response to the
instructions sent to NJ. Taigny, the French
charge d'affaires at Caracas requiring Vene-
zuela to disavow her offensive action In re-
fusing to carry on relations with France through
him, and, therefore, French action in the mat
ter is in allegiance, pending receipt Of the reply.
The official view here strongly supports
concurrent action on the part of the United
States and France. It is said that direct
propositions for Joint action have yet been
formulated. The sailing Of Ambassador Jus
serand on La Lorraine for New-York to-day
from Havre is expected to afford an early OPP
portunity to go over the situation. In the mean
time the authorities say that decision will
be taken relative to the dispatch of warships,
o rother steps. until Venezuela has had an OPP
portunity to reply.
