DEBS! IN CONFERENCE
AT WASHINGTON
t (Continued from rage One)
apparent today. Attorney General
Daugherty will speed . up the labor of
going over the records In the case.
The ftle of papers in the Debs case
is so bulky that It ordinarily would re
quire several , weeks to plow through
them.- Today It - is believed - that- the
attorney general will be able to com
municate his recommendation - to the
White House within a few days. r -There
is good cause to believe that
-.these recommendations will not be un
favorable. Some of the most optimistic
of Debs' friends are frankly hopeful of
a full presidential pardon, which will
if mure me noieu oociausc to ireedom
" immediately.
By others, however, it Is felt that
Daugherty'e recommendation Is far more
likely to be for a commutation of sen-
tftice In the very tear future. Debs still
has seven years to serve under his origi
nal 10-year sentence for violating the
wartime espionage regulations. - .
THI SK Ell THAN EVER
The physical appearance of the pris
oner made a marked impression on the
attorney ' general and' those few others
who saw him during his brief stay here.
Naturally thin and cadaverous, the three
years which he has spent in Atlanta has
enhanced this appearance and added to
it is the pallor that necessarily- accom
panies confinement, in four walls. The
"''wo iining aDout nis: appearance,
however, was the. Indication, of extreme
nervousness. . - .. . ,

ESTABLISHES PRECEDJIKT '
. The conference between. Debs and the
attorney general and the arrangements
that accompanied it establishes a prece
dent in Washington. 1 So far as is known,
never before has a federal prisoner been
permitted such a privilege as was ac
corded Debs. - ; i ... '"-";'' ;
The Journey from Atlanta to Washing
ton was planned with the 1 utmost se
crecy. Only the prison officials at the
Atlanta end were In on the secret, and'
very few of them, according to reports.
Here In Washington, only President
Harding. Attorney . General Daugherty
and Chief William j;, Flynn of the de
partment of justice were in on "the
know.".- ?r. i':1. - " ,:-' .1-
Flynn was called yesterday" into the
conference, it waaj learned today, and
acquainted with the fact of Debs' coming-
Flynn was thus informed, not so he
could keep Debs under surveillance, but
to prevent a possible chance recognition
and arrest at the elation . or on the
street by the chief or some of his men.
Debs came and went away unrecog
nised. He was on a Iraln and an hour
out of Washington before the fact of his
visit became knows. ; i
8UJIM05ED BT DAUGHERTY :'' - 1
The Imprisoned Socialist leader's sum
mons to Washington was announced by
Attorney General Daugherty at a con
ference with the correspondents Thursday
afternoon. As calmly as he had spoken of
a visit by fonder President Taft.- who
was present for -the conference with the
newspaper men, Daugherty said:
"l had another visitor today in Eugene
V. Debs. He came at my invitation and
with the approval of President Harding
to discuss his case and the applications
which have been made for his pardon."
So astounded were the newspapermen
present that for a minute not a question
was asked and then the storm broke.;
But with all the questions plied by the
two score or more correspondents present
the effect of the shock was still apparent
and no one thought to ask whether he
had been disguised or his manner of
escaping notice until long after Mr.
Daugherty had . concluded the audience.
ASKS SO PUBLICITY j
Stating that Debs had left for Atlanta
on the 4:85 p. m. train the attorney gen
eral added:. -. '.. . -.- ' i . . ... l,,.
"I have asked him to not say anything
for. publication, or otherwise regarding
the subject of inquiries made. I am sure
no wen meaning person will urge him to
discuss this matter or anything that took
place on his journey or during his stay
here,'' , ' : ! ' ', - .
y "Debs presented ' his own case to the
trial court and Jury. He was permitted
to do; so here. , j -
"The Debs' case, as I have said before,
stands alone. I could not, of course, go
to him. What took place and the inform
ation I have acquired will be reported
In due time only to the president, and
that with any recommendations that may
be necessary when the investigation is
concluded. -' ' ' - I
;: Debs is employed in the library and
hospital of the penitentiary, the attorney
general . said. The warden of the peni
tentiary had previously been called into
conference : with J him .. about two weeks
ago, he added, j: ' ; j
During the siege of questions hurled
at the attorney general his visitor. Form
er President Taft, sat back in his chair
chuckling frequently at the attorney
general's .adroit evasion of any State
ment which -would indicate, what disposi
tion would be made of the case. The
chuckles turned into a hearty laugh
though when the dean of the newspaper
men present, with mock severity, berated
him for not upholding his present occu
pation as a newspaper writer by partici
pating in the questioning.-. ; , j' - .

. Dr. Parrish stated today that . the
smallpox patients will be moved to the
new building, to be cared1 for along

tients and. located about two blocks dis
tant from the new hospital be moved
over, so that it could be connected with
the heating plant of the new hospital,
and the same attendants give service
to both. He offered to use $1000 of the
health department appropriation to aid
in meeting i the moving expense if the
city would provide a like amount, he

W. A. McQuiggln and Carl Reuter are
to remain on the eligible list of the city
civil service commission for inspectors
in the - department . of public works, re
gardless of the desire of City Commis

tigation showed that McQuiggin was in
spector on each of these jobs and Iteu
ter was also on part of the work. The

civil service examination prior to his
removal and wef e placed on the eligible
list. McQuiggin maintained at the bear-

plete inspection was allowed to continue.
He said that in one instance be request
ed permission to have a manhole con
struction taken out and rebuilt but was
told to have it plastered, over' and let
it go.
Stanley was given a 30 days lay-off at
the time, of the investigation 4
The work which has to be relaid was
constructed Under the contract of Asar
& Co. and McQuggln said that the work
men were Syrians and the instructions
were given to them In that language so
that he could not be certain as to what
they were, but that he found the Syri
ans had a name for him "not used In po
lite society" which they applied to hirh
whenever be appeared and that they
persisted In covering up the pipes be
fore he could inspect them, regardless
of his piotests and reports to his su
