Many of the other 197 political prisoners probably will be freed. President Harding will make his long delayed announcement regarding release of so-called political prisoners at the White House late today.

Both bids were laid over until the next meeting for further consideration.

The president completed his study of the 197 cases under consideration during a long conference with Attorney General Daugherty at the White House last night. It could not be learned just how many of these political prisoners are to be released before Christmas, but the best information is that about one-third of the cases will be acted on favorably at this time. President Harding will either grant an outright pardon or a commutation of sentence in releasing the prisoners. There may be some paroles, but Debs does not come in this class as he has not served one-third of his ten year term. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 23.—Terre Haute today was prepared to welcome Eugene V.
