PROSECUTION OF TWO ANTI-WAR
 ACITAT0RS FAILS
No Statute on Which to Base Action, U. $. District
 Attorney Says.

Hartford, Sept. 19-After Judge Edwin c. Dickinson in police court today had entered a judgment of not guilty in the continued case against Mrs. Annie Riley Hale of New York city, and Alfred E. Whitehead, who claims residence in this city, charged with breach of the peace following an attack on the United States govern ment by Mrs. Hale at socialist hall, Sunday afternoon, Special Prosecuting Attorney Alexander W. Creedon, who prosecuted the case Tuesday, made public a communication from United States District Attorney Thomas J. Speliacyy in which Mir Spellacy in- formed the prosecutor that he had no legal grounds to hold the accused for prosecution in the federal courts. In his letter MT. Spellacy significantly states, however, that the United States will continue to take keen interest in the actions and sayings of both Mrs. Hale and Whitehead and those associated with them The action of the police ine dispersing the meet ing also received special comm nenda- tion.-
 The full text of the letter under date of Sept. 8 follows:
 Alexander w. Creedon, Special Pros ecutor:
 Dear MT. Creedon: Permit, me to thank you for your kindness in hand ing to me stenographic report of the speeches made in Socialist hall, this city, on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 1B, 1917, by Albert F. Whitehead and Mrs. Annie Riley Hale and also for giving me an abstract of the testi- mony offered in the police court of the city of Hartford in the trial of the cases against those two persons for breach of the peace.
 "You have asked me what is the at titude of the United States towards the possible prosecution of either or both of these persons for statements contained in the speeches made by them. It; is unnecessary to inform you that while the department of jus tice, of course, is interested in the out come of the prosecution of the cases in your court it officially has no voice in any case pending in any court for the violation of a local ordinance or state statute.
 "The criminal Jurisdiction of the United States differs from that of the states in that in the United States there are no common law crimes. There must be definite violation of some statute. I regret that there is no statute of the United States known to me on. whi> h could be based successful prosecution of MT. White head and Mrs. Hale for the speeches that were made by them in Socialist hall Their utterances bordered on -criminality and were intensely unpa- triotic, and to my mind inopportune An isolated criticism of the officials of the United States is not in itself criminal.
 s'In view of these facts. am oblig- ed to answer in the negative your query as to whether or not the United States is at this time considering a prosecution of these two people. The United States will, howeverj continue to take a keen interest in the actions and sayings of both MT. Whitehead and Mrs. Hale and those associated with them

 People with bad backs and weak kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty. Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Bridgeport case:
 Michael Brennan, 60 Fourth St., says: My kidneys were out of order and I was sore and lame across my back. I had bad spells of dizziness and my kidneys acted irregularly, which caused me annoyance. I used Doan's Kidney Pills with satisfactory results. The pain in my back disap- peared and my kidneys again acted (Statement given Sep-l tember 23, 1914)
