THOUSANDS WILL BE
 PARDONED BY WILSON
Court Decision Holding Suspended Sentences Illegal Calls for Unusual
 Action to Remedy Situation

Washington, March 31.-Attorney Gen. eral Gregory announced tonight that President Wilson would exercise execu- tive clemency in a large number of fed erai prosecutions where suspension of sentences has been nullified by the su- preme cout's recent opinion holding such suspensions illegal
 Clemency will be exercised the Attor- ney General said, without applications being made, in those cases where pleas of guilty were entered or verdicts or guilty returned prior to June 15 1916, but no sentences pronounced; and in those cases where the sentence imposed was less than the period between the date of imposition and June 15 1917.
 The number who will receive pardons or communications under the ruling prob ably will run into the thousands. Many of them have been at liberty for long periods, and the President is understood to feel that the new business and per sonal relations they have been permitted to build up because of clemency by the courts should not be broken down. Un- der the supreme court opinion all of them would have been compelled, but for the Presidents intervention, to re- turn to custody.
