fore the court takes its summer recess.
June IS.
Mrabeau l., Towns counsel for Brandt,
contonded that through ignorance his client
pleaded guilty to technical charge o,
burglary, and ia denied his day IN court
because the time in which he could take
an appeal had elapsed Ho argued that
Justice Rosalsky, who sentenced Brandt to
serve thirty years IN prison, vas without

escorted him TO the door OF his home
In the absence OF Attorney General Car
mody the Deputy Attorney General, Joseph
A. Kellogg. argued against the appeal

view Of Brandt's conviction was not posi-
bic through n writ Of habeas corpus. He
held that the questions raised by Mr
Towns ss 10 what happened az the Schlfl
residence and whether or not Brandt was
victim Of circumstances which might

(gv Cable 20 The Tribune.

London. June 10.--Earl Lorcburn, LORD
High Chancellor since December looo
resigned to- day. Viscount IIaldane, Sec
retary Of State for War. was appointed
to succeed the earl
Colonel John Edward Bernard Seely,
hitherto Under Secretary for War has
been appointed Secretary of state for
War in succession to V!scount Iialdane.
Lord Loreburn's resignation is officially
stated to be due to i'll health, but ad-
vanced Radicals have long been agitating
To force him out of office. He was al
ways more or less thorn in their SIDE
owing TO his numerous appointments OF
Unionists as local magistrates. The
Radical argument against him was that
no should have paid more attention To
the claims Of Radicals in the exercise OF
his patronage.
Moreover. he was openly hostile to tho
attitude OF Reginald Mckenna. Secretary
Of State for Home Affairs, in refusing
adequate protection to non-unionlstS
who were willing TO take the places OF
the dockmcn out on strike, and this. or
course, made him an object Of antipathy
10 the Laborite section of the coalition.
Lord Haldanes accession TO the Wool
sack means the realization OF long
cherished ambition. Colonel Seely's ap-
pointment to be Secretary for War
renders a by-election necessary. hut his
majority in 1910 was so big that tho
government can easily retain the scat.
