PRAISE FROM HARVARD.
University Librarian Compliments the
Government Printing Office.

The keyboard operators and proofreaders
at the government printing office employed
on the A. L. A. Portrait Index have been
highly compIimented by Chief Librarian
William C. Lamb of Harvard University
on the quality of the Workmanship and
their grasp of the technical style in vogue
in The publication. The commentator was
transmitted through the officials OF the
Congressional Library and Mr.. Charles E.
Young, the foreman OF printing of the Of
fee. 1t is said that II 1t were not possible
to utilize the typesetting machines on this
work there would be necesstated a vital
change in the style, the big printery not
having the tons of sorts" necessary to
produce 1t.
One of the most drastic reductions In the
public printing Is the report of the COM
missioner of fish and fisheries, the number
OF pages having been reduced from TAO to
49, it is said. making one of the largest In
dividual savings since the movement for
curtailment began. The number OF copies
of the reports of commerce and navigation
and the consular reports have also been
largely reduced

HAAS OUT OF LAWS CLUTCHES.
New Yorker Discharged in Cotton
Leak Case.

Moses Haas, who was arrested in New
York In connection with the cotton report
leak in the Department OF Agriculture
here, in which former Statistician L. S.
Holmes jr and Frederick II. Peckham
were involved, was discharged from custody
in New York yesterday by Judge Holt OF
the United States court. Haas was dis
charged some time ago by United States
Commissioner Ridgeway, but was rearrested
at the request of the Washington authori-
ties and taken before Judge Holt. Haas and
Peckham were charged with conspiracy to
induce Holmes to commit the crime of
misconduct in Office in giving them adj
vance information upon a cotton-crop re-
port by which, il is alleged, they profted
to the extent of several thousands of dol
lars
1t was argued In behalf of Haas that the
crime of misconduct in office" was recog-
niZed only under the common law of Mary
land, which still applies TO the District of
Columbia, and that 1t did not constitute
an offense of which United States court
could take cogni2ance.
Judge Holt, in discharging the defendant.
upheld this view OF the matter. He said
the common law of Maryland could not OBJ
tain In the state of New York, where Haas
was indicted and arraigned. Judge Holt
further said that there was nothing to show
that Assistant Statistician Holmes was
bound to keep the cotton report secret,
however reprehensibie.

Injuries Result

Injuries Result.
A peculiar accident occurred at Tth and
E streets yesterday afternoon. James c.
Champion. painter, fifty-two years of age,
was at work upon swinging ladder sew
eral feet above the sidewalk. He accident
ally lost his balance and fell. On the side
walk, in front Of the building. number Of
small boys were playing, and Leonard
Reed, six years of age. was one of them.
His companions ran out of the way but
the painter fell upon Leonard, and they
were both badly injured. He was removed
to the home CT his parents, Go street
Champion was taken to the Emergency
Hospital.
DIR. William E. Whitson was summoned
to attend the child. He found that the
young patient had sustained dislocation
of the hip, fracture of the coIlarbone and
other injuries and bruises. At the time he
was picked up he was in dazed condition,
and 1t was feared he had been fatally in
jured. but the physician assured the parents
that the child would recover. Mr.. Cramp-
ton was found to have sustained fracture
of rib on his left side. He had also
been badly shaken, but. it Is believed. his
falling upon the hoy saved him from re-
ceiving more serious injuries.
After he had received treatment at the
hospital he was taken to his home, 142 c
street southeast. Attending physicians said
today that both patients would recover.
