Justice Gerard Ali Work Now
 On Brandt Case

New York, Feb. 16-Now that it is considered certain that Governor Dix has deferred action on the applica- tion for a pardon for Foulke E. Brandt, Justice Gerard is expected, to- day to act on the habeaS corpus pro- ceedings to set aside the 30 year sen- tence imposed by Judge Rosalsky.
 When he reached his chambers, to- day, he began consideration of the record in the case but refused to say whether he will make his decision pub lie, today, or will hold another pub lie hearing on the application. It was considered certain at the courthouse that the writ would be upheld and the sentence set aside.
 It was also believed, today, that Justice 'Gerard's decision would null lify the powers of Richard L. Hand. named by Governor Dix as special commissioner to investigate the Brandt case. Friends of District At day that Hand was named by the governor more to investigate the dis trict attorneys office than the Brandt case.
 This was due to the desire, it was said, to prevent Whitman. who is be- ing mentioned as a Republican pos sibility Or Governor, next fall, getting credit for Brandt's liberation. Friends of Governor Dix, however, laughed at this charge and said the only reason Hand was named was because the governor wants to learn the real facts in the case.
 Meanwhile the grand jury investiga- tion of the alleged conspiracy, by which persons interested in Brandt claim he was "railroaded,-' was con- tinued today

RooSeVeIt's Plea
 For Living Wages
Urges Closer Cooperation Be tween Capital And Labor And Relates Experience In Probing Brooklyn
 Factory
Especial from United Press.) )


 New York, Feb. 16.-A plea for living wages and closer cooperation between capital and labor is made by Colonel Roosevelt, in the current num- her of the Outlook, in which he re- lates his experiences in Investigating Q Brooklyn factory which, he says, IS ideally conducted.
 ''There must be full recogniton,' " says Roosevelt, ''by the public of the fact that no business can be perman- ently good for this country unless the wage worker is paid a high wage and works under conditions favorable to his health and safety. On his part the wage worker must, as matter or justice and personal pride, do first class work for that wage and in his private character must be a good cit1- zen-and so must his employer.
 We hear much of the conflict be- tween capital and labor and often 1t seems to be assumed that this con hict is inevitabl and that capitalists primarily as belonging to different classes, each individual being judged only by the standard of his own class. This sis a thoroughly false and LII. healthy view. From the standpoint of the country, from the standpoint of good citizenship, the differences be- tween employer and employed are or mighty small consequences compared with the need that each shall show that he possesses the great funda- . mentk virtues Il should be in the one class whose existence is vital to the republic, the class that contains, vhether on the farm or in the work shop or in the counting room, the de-

Civil Service For Bridgeport Not
 Yet, But Soon
Small Chance For Free Bathing Beach At Foot Of Newfield Avenue-IgnOre City
 Of Cleveland

Action was postponed by the Miscel- ianeous committee, last evening, up- on the resolution of Alderman Guy F. Miller calling for the appointment of a special committee to investigate the placing of municipal departments up on a civil service basis. Alderman Miller, a member of the Miscellaneous committee, is keenly interested in the civil service system. Under the new law, a petition of 10 per cent of the electors is ample to have the matter of establishing the system placed be- fore the voters.
 Alderman DeForest objected to inn mediate action. He said he wanted more time to investigate. The wishes of Alderman DeForest prevail ed.
 The committee deferred action also on the Newf1e1d avenue bathing house resolution of Alderman Cederholm. The committee voted to ask the Park Commission to assist in the selection of a site that would not draw forth objections from residents of the vicin- ity. The committee took no action on the communication of the city of Cleveland asking for cooperation in efecting legislation that will bring out , a three cent piece.

Says Outlook Is
 Very Bright For
 Chinese Republic
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, Feb. 16-"Now that the Chinese republic is firmly estab- lished, with a regularly elected presi- dent and assembly, the nations of the world will witness an awakening fully as revolutionary as was the movement which overthrow the centuries-old Manchu dynasty and placed Yuan Shi Kai in power.'
 This was the optimistic prediction made by Yuang Kwai, Charge D'Af- faires of the Chinese legation in a special interview granted, today, to the United Press.
 'The new president" he declared, 'is a man known the world over as a leader and statesman. He has pass ed successfully through two of the greatest crises China has ever exper- ienced-the Boxer troubles and the present revolution, and he is so p1ac- ed that his knowledge of China and Chinese conditions will enable him to govern the country fairly and impar- tially.
 "The outlook now is very bright for China and I hope that the republic, under President Yuan, will pass into an era of prosperity unparalleled in the past.
 China will take her place among the great nations of the world-the place to which she is entitled by her immense spread of territory and her 400, ,O0O,O 900 of people-and the nations of the west will be treated to peaceful, commercial revolution alongside of which the awakening of the past will be outdone.'

Outlook Reflects
 R0oseVe!t's Views
 On The Third Term
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Feb. 16-Discussing the proceedings in Congress relative to the various antf-third term resoIu- tions, the OutlooA of which Colonel Roosevelt is contributing editor. in the current issue, significantly discusses Colonel Roosevelt's statements in 19o4 and 1907, refusing to become a preSi dential candidate. Politicians here were deeply interested in the state ment because of RooseveIt'S connec- tion with the magazine and because the editorial was believed to reflect his views. In part, the editorial says:
 Those who still think 1t unsafe to elect a president for a third term should recall the fact that objections to a third term were formulated against a third consecutive term \ A A man who leaves the presidency and is reelected after a lapse of four or eight years does not possess the pow CT of patronage and therefore stands on the same footing as any other pri- vate citizen.
 ''In MT. Roosevelt's specific case i. is sometimes said that his statement in 1904 and again in 1907. that he would not accept another nomination. would make his acceptance of nom- ination this year inconsistent.
 What MT. Roosevelt said in 1904 and in 1907 referred of course to a consecutive third term. MT. Roose- welt believes. although we do not share that belief, that the settled pol icy of this country makes a third consecutive presidential term for any man impolitic, if not improper but the Outlook has a better appreciation of his intelligence than to suppose that he had in 1904, or has now the slightest idea of defining third term excepting in the way we have just de- fined it.
 ''The situation may perhaps be made more clear by a homeIy Illustration When a man says at breakfast No q T1l VE-fn nf %-I- coffee it does not mean that he win not take any more coffee tomorrow or next week, Or next month, or next year.
