Debs Privileges Suspension Likely Short-Lived
Mr Thickerson notes suspensions for rule infractions are common and Debs may have privileges restored within a week. Debs, jailed 10 years for espionage, has repeatedly been denied clemency by President Wilson. White House officials say they were unaware of Debs being held incommunicado and will review the matter. Dickerson says the interview was authorized under campaign norms, with staff instructed to curb sedition, and the action was routine and not needing AG attention.

General Manager Edward Dana said further snow-clearing costs would threaten the 10 cent fare. He noted a large deficit and recent revenue losses but emphasized that keeping fares stable was in riders’ interest.
