PRESIDENT TO EXTEND
 EXECUTIVE CLfMENCY
ACTION WILL BE TAKEN TO CAR -RY OUT cLEMENcY EXTENDED
 BY FEDERAL JUDGES.

Washington, March 3l.-Attorney General Gregory announced tonight that President Wilson would exercise executive clemency in large number Of federal prosecutions, where sus- pension of sentence has been nulli. fled by the supreme courts recent opinion holding such suspensions H. legal
 Clemency will be exercised, the a. torney general said, without applica- tions being made in those cases where pleas of guilty were entered or verdicts of guilty returned prior to June 15, 1916, but no sentences pro. nounced, and in those cases where the sentence imposed was less than the period between the date Of opposition and June 15, 1917.
 The number who will receive par dons or communications under the rul ing probably will run into the thou sands. Many have been at liberty for long periods and the president is understood to feel that the new busi. ness and personal relations they have permitted to build Hp because of elem ency by the courts should not be brok- en down Under the supreme court opinion all of them would have been compelled but for the presidents in tervention, to return to custody.
 Attorney General Gregorys statc- ment said:
 "The supreme court on December 4, 1916. without any dissent. in the case of exparte United States. petitioner (the Killits easel decided that United States district judges had no power to suspend the imposition of sentence or the execution of sentence, except for the purpose of disposing of iu- dicial questions. Only portion of the district judges claimed the right to exercise such a power and the Kill Its case was instituted by the govern ment for the purpose of settling the question and obtaining uniformity in the administration of the criminal laws
 These results have been accom- plshed, the department of justice has been procuring from the United States district attorneys lists of cases in which pronouncement or execution of sentence has been suspended con trary to the rule laid down by the supreme court. There are more than 5,00O of these cases and it has be come necessary to adopt a general policy in dealing with them"

remained in his study much of the day and also was in close touch with the war, navy and treasury depart. ments regarding preparedness plans.
 It was indicated that tentative plans .of the administration for providing men money and supplies for war pur- poses await action by congress on the main question of whether a declara- tion of state of war is to be adopted. Careful to observe the war-makinc prerogatiye of congress. the president and his advisers are desirous of do- ing nothing to be construed as an act .of war beyond maintaining a state of armed neutrality and making ready for war if it comes
 Plans Of paeifsts for attempting to keep congress from declaring a state of war attracted some attention bat most of the reports to the administra- ton indicated that the nation as a whole believes the time for war has come A statement today by Chair man Stone of the senate foreign rela- tions committee that he would vo.e against war, but would support tho government in any policy decided upon was the most noticeable anti-war de velopment Outside of the main ques- ton to be decided chief attention within the administration is directed toward guarding aganst possible dis. turbances in the United States.
 That such a danger exists was gen erally admitted but officials believe the situation is well in hand.
 On the eve Of the new session all senators and representatives pro tessed complete ignorance of details of the presidents plans for action They were unanimous in predicting that a declaration of existence of a state of war is probable, but beyond this they appear to have little notion of what congress will do or will be asked to do.
 The first impression of congression- al sentiment is expected from the house. Such a resolution as will he suggested by the president may in- clude an emergency appropriation
The Sentinel=record., 1917-04-01

which would have 10 pass the house first and in addition, the moral force of affirmative action by the house would give the resolution greater in- itial impetus, many members believe that if the senate should begin the discussion.
 Whether the new cloture rule Of the senate would be needed in con. siderfng the resolution is speculative. It is regarded certain that the so- called pacifist group in the senate, in. cluding those who opposed the armed neutrality measure, will occupy con siderable time in debate. Senator Stone, however, indicated that he fla vored some prompt expression by congress and would call the foreien relations committee together immetii. ately after the president delivers his address.
