Followers of President Do Not Four Colonel's Personal Doom, but 8hy at Some of His Radical Princi ples, Fearing They Will Find t Place In Chicago Platform. I Washington. Feb. 22. Colonel Ronse volt's speech nt Columbus was road with intense Interest nt the White ITouse nnil by Republicans general! in Washington. The president's pollt Icnl advisers am more deeply concern eil over the effect of tho rnillcal It.-nse velt propaganda on the Republican v tlonal plntform to be drafted at i'"1 1 Chicago convention than they are ore. the colonel's personal boom for tin nomination. The Taft forces feel coi tldent they can renominate the pro-' ilent. All of the Ideas advanced by Oil-vie Roosevelt on the Initiative and refer cntlum. and especially on the reeili o" judicial decisions and JiuU'es tlvr selves, are abhorrent to President T: fi At the White House no comnietu ! made on the colonel's speech, but 'r Taft's deep concern over the pofsibil it.v of any of these new fancied no tlims creeping Into the Republican tie tlonal plntform Is well known to ! 1 advisers. So deeply does the pres'i'n feel on the question of the recall of (! judiciary that he w'.l) decline to atv.-: n ronomlnatlnn for the presidency n V er than stand on a platform which on tallied such a plank. Xovv that Colonel Roosevelt's I i awaited speech has been delivered, t h president's political ndvlsers nre co" i dent that I he comlnir campaign is t be one in which the lines between r"l icalisni and conservatism are to be -sharply drawn as they were In the f mous tssii! free silver campaign. ! President Taft Is renominated Democrats, in thefiiplnlon of the p, dent's polith'al advisers, will n:i either Woodrow Wilson or C'h ' m Chirk on a platform containing all 1 the modern Idem, advanced by Koos. velt in his spooch in Columbus.

For Sehiff Valet Is Now In Position of Man Who Was Never In Prison, 8ays District Attorney Whit man May Do Released In Custody of His Counsel. Kerr York, Feb. 22. Supreme Court Justice Gerard has sustained the writ of habeas corpus In tho case of Folke E. Brandt and ordered a new trial for Brandt on the ground that Judge Ros alsky erred In accepting Brandt's pica of guilty of burglary In tho first de jrreo when tho mnn's statement to the rourt showed that ho did not Intend to plead guilty to that crime. Out of courtesy to Governor DIx, Justice Gerard waited until he learned thnt Attorney General Carmody's ar guments had failed to move the gov ernor nnd that there would bo delay whichever way the governor decided. However, the decision of Justice Ger ard will not be today, since It Is a legal holiday. Thereforo since the order remanding Brandt for a new trial and establishing his status as a man In dicted, but not nctually convicted. Is not yet on record, provided that the governor concludes before Friday to free Brandt, he can do so without nny question arising as to his constlutlonnl right to pardon u man who is not legally a cnnvlci The constitution ays that the governor can pardon or commute a sentence "nfter conviction." Brandt, who l now In tho Tombs, may be released on ball today. An application will be made then to Jus tice Gerard asking that the justice fix hail for Brandt and order his release. When the young Swede was arraigned bnck In March, 11)07, on Mortimer I.. Hchlff's complaint that he had commit ted burglnry and assault. Charles S. Whitman, then a magistrate, held him In bonds of $5,000, $2,500 on each charge. It Is indicated that District Attorney Whitman will not press for heavy bail now. He may accept a small figure or consent thnt Brandt bo released In custody of his own counsel. The district nttorney does not seem to think that Brandt will hurry back to Sweden to go Into business; he needs Brandt In tho conspiracy Inquiry. Immediately after Justice Gerard acted the question arose ns to what effect tho decision had on the govern or's power to pardon and on the par don Inquiry started by Judgo Hand on Tuesday. District Attornev Whitman ' said that It seemed clear to him that executive clemency cannot be exercis ed nfter the supreme court order Is filed. Justice Gerard, Mr. Whitman suid, lndlsputubly knocks out tho con viction and puts Brandt back In the courts for trinl on the two Indictments against him, burglnry In the first de gree and felonious assault. According to the district attorney, Brandt stands now ns if, there had never been any court proceedings against hlni save the arraignment In police court and the action of the grand jury.
