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.

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,,.
