tion, but what these matters are
am not at liberty to state.
"One thing / expect to do here is
10 establish a board of pardons for
the Territory in conformity with a
law passed something like a year ago
and which provides for such a board.
Prior to the passage of this law the
pardoning power rested with the
President alone.
While here | expect to consult
with District Attorney Breckons and
name a board which will be submit
ted to the Attorney General of the
United States for approval. I am not
certain, but l believe the law speci-
lies that one member of the board
must be the warden of the Federal

Mr.. Gordon said that he would de-
part for the Orient on the Siberia, and
would return to Washington by Nov.

state what these matters are, but
says he will appear before the Federal

One feature of his mission here,

The report that l came here to in
