with the President asking a ques-
ton now and then.
Mr.. Hurley's views which, as he
expresses it himself have not yet
been entirely placed on paper
were outlined in detail to the Presi-

them as expressed and asked for

Bill for Enforcement Will
Not Be Passed, Says
House Leader.

Congress will not enact at this
session enforcement legislation for
the war time prohibition ordered
under President Wilson's procIama-
tion, according TO leaders last
night. Moreover, there is a strong
possibility that Congress will not be

to pass the legislation before July

effective.
In discussing the situation last
night, Congressman Andrew ].
Volstead, of Minnesota, who will

Committee of the next Congress
said:
There is sufficient legislation
now on our statute books to pro-
vide for the enforcement of the
prohibition to become effective July

legislation is made up of scraps
from this law and that. There is

WAR PRISONERS
GIVEN AMNESTY
President Signs Warrants
Granting Clemency to
Disloyal Persons.

President Wilson last night signed
a number of warrants proposed by
Attorney General Gregory under
which pardon, reductions of sentence
and amnesty are granted to a num-
Der of so-called political prisoners
convicted under the espionage law.
Department of Justice officials were
uncertain OF the exact number OF per
sons affected by the Presidents ac-
tion.
In his statement to the Presi-
dent Mr.. Gregory pointed out that
persons convicted under the espi-
onage law are not political pris-
oners, although that phrase has re-
ceived wide circulation. He con-
tended that persons were not con-
victed for-mere expression of opin-
ion. but that they were convicted
for a wilful and evil intent to
hinder the country in the conduct
of the war.
The work of reviewing all the
convictions has not been completed
and, later. recommendation Will
be submitted to the President IN
some OF the remaining cases.

cases pardons were signed by Presi-
