FREEDOM OF DEBS
Is EXPECTED SOON

WASHINGTON. Aug. "a Omitted
Press).-A definite statement Of
policy by President Harding on Eu-
gene V. Debs. Socialist leader, and
others imprisoned during the war
for violation OF the espionage act
was held today.
Both President Harding and At
torney-General Daugherty hav q
been petitioned to take action. II is
believed that Daugherty has already
given his opinion to the President.
Several months ago Daugherty per-
mitted Debs to come to Washington
from Atlanta unguarded for a con-
ference. He was permitted to re-
turn TO Atlanta unaccompanied.
Belief that Debs would be freed
soon after the peace treaty is sign
ed was expressed in many quarters
today.
Friends who have been workine
for Debs' release from the Fedora
prison at Atlanta. Ga. ever since the
armistice. gained the impression
from officials in Washington thai
the matter Of freedom for an politi.
cal prisoners depended upon the con.
clusion OF a peace treaty with Ger

MORE GARBAGE
Being BURNED
Between 40 and so Tons of
Offal-Rubbish Consumed
Daily
MANY HOUSEHOLDERS
WRAP THEIR OWN"

Although no official reports have
been given out as to the operations
Of the new incinerating plant, city
officials who have been keeping tab
on the operations stated this morn
ing that the plant has been consum-
ing from 40 to so tons Of garbage
and refuse per day and that on one
day S5 tons of garbage alone was
consumed.
The excellent showing made, ac-
cording to one member of City
Council this moning. is due largely
to the cooperation of the public in
wrapping, or draining, all garbage.
Fully 40 per cent of the garbage re-
ceived is now wrapped, and there is
a noticeable difference in the time
required to consume the wrapped
garbage and that which is wet or
unwrapped.
While another plant may be re-
quired next year it is felt that for
the present at least the city can
make out with the one just complet-
ed If housekeepers drain or wrap all
garbage.

She expects to settle down. almost
in the center Of the Fits, as part

The Dutch Government has held
the property in trust since that time

great-great-great grandchildren to
put in an appearance.
The princess, in the meantime
moved to New Amsterdam where
she told the story OF the island king
dom 10 her children. They repeated
it to their children and their child
rens children.
From the princess there were two
distinct lines of descent, for after
her first husband was lost at sea, she
married Evaradus Bogardus. second
pastor OF the New Amsterdam
Church in New York.
Some Of the descendants preserved
complete records Of their lineage.
