“BURNER JAKIE”
HAS GOME HOME
Hears for the First Time
of His Retirement.
■HE GIVES WAY TO EMOTION
Though hard Pressed By Report,
ers Gr.zzlcd Old Soldier Has
Nothing to Say.
A San Francisco special says:
Standing on the bridge of the Thomas,
eagerly waiting with the ship's cap
tain for a glimpse of hts native shore,
■General Jacob H. Smith, tried by court-
martial for having ordered the island
-of Samar transferred Into a howling
wilderness,, was -doomed Friday morn
ing to flrBt learn that the president had
retired him from the active list.
The pilot boat which met the Thom
as just outside the heads at 2 o’clock
n. m., carried to General Smith.the
dnst news of the president’s action.
In the light of a binnacle, lamp, the
veteran read the messago apprising
him of.his fate. An hour later the
dawn came and with It the sight of
land, but General Smith bad retlrsd
to bis cabin, where, with bis wife and
chief aide, J. H. Shields, of the 12th
Infantry, he discussed U19 outcome of
the long ordeal through which he had
passed.
Six hours later, whea tbe Thomas
reached the quarantine station In the
harbor, Major Duval, of the transport
■service, boarded the ship with his sec
retary and met both General Smith
•and Lieutenant Shields at the door of
•the general’s cabin.
A sealed document frqm the war de
partment was handed General Smith.
It contained the official notification of
President Roosevelt’s action, add upon
reading it General $mith retired, over
come with emotion.
•General Smith was not seen again
■until the United States icustom house
■tender, the Hartley, was ready to land
the party ashore. He denied hlppsclf
to all Interviewers, who were mdt by
Lieutenant Shields. Together with his
wife and aide. General Smith proceed
ed to . the OcCldental-hotel, repairing
thence to army headquarters. in the
Phillan building, witero, lie remained
•during the morning.
"General Smith has absolutely noth-
Ing to say for publication,” said Lieu
tenant Shields to a representative of.
the Associated Press. ‘‘He Is not at
liberty to talk and furthermore has
nothing to say. He has been hopeful
that the president would; not take ac
tion against him and, ore
course, feels
keenly the force of H19 blow he re
ceived.
"The general admitted to the court-
martial trying him that be had Issued
orders which In effect expressed his
desire that the enemy If obdurate and
unconquerable, be not apared—In fact
that the country be laid waste and no
prisoners be taken. The literal con
struction of these orders and exact In
terpretation made up the bulwark of
•evidence aganst the general at the
•courtmartlal. There is no doubt but
that General Smith did not mean all he
-said. He certainly did not expect the
aetton which the president has taken.”
General Smith, who Is wearing civ-
Ullun attire, appeared exceedingly ner
vous and worn. HIb sixty-two years
are plainly read In his every action
and his Intimate friends tear he is
breaking down under the severe strain
'to which he has been subjected In re
cent months. - v
General Smith’s sealed orders require
him to report to the adjutant general
at Washington and It Is likely be will
Jose no time in so doing.
Repeated efforts made during the
day to Induce General Smith to discuss
.bis campaign In the Philippines abd
this courtmartlal failed entirely. Hf
-even declined to take up the subject
with Intimate friends.
The transport Thomas also brought
portions of the Twenty-fifth and Twen
ty-sixth Infantry regiments and Tenth
-cavalry.

Judge Tells Wrcng-Ooers How to
- Conduct Themselves While
Under Ban of Court.
The trial of John Richards and oth
ers, charged with contempt of court,
came to a close'at Charleston, W. Va,
Saturday, and Judge Heller fixed Au
gust 12tb as the date for the argu
ments. AH the defendants were re
leased on their own recognisance until
that time. Before adjourning court
Judge Keller called the numerous de
fendants before him and delivered a
lecture on the question of proper beha
vior while Injunctions are pending. It
forecasts his judgment In the matter.
He said In part:
"A great deal has been said hers
about the efforts of certain people to
learn the extent of these Injunctions
and what they mean, and the Inability
on the part of some of them to gather
any meaning with regard to them be-'
yond the fact that they were not to
trespass upon Mr. Collins’ property.
"Now, the,trespass notices had that
effect. Any man has the right at any
time to post trespass notices upon his
property and -to require all persons to
seek permission before they go upon
his property. He does not need the aid
of the court for that purpose.
“Different conditions make a differ
ence in the rights of all of us. A small
assemblage of persons seeking peace
fully and peacebly to gain a lawful
and righteous end may do things
which a lqrge body ui men, with osten
sibly the same purpose, have no right
to do, for the reason that that body of
men may overawe and does overawe In
many instances other people who have
rights that must be respected.
“Now, under ordinary circumstances,
the question of the number of men as
sembled together for what to them Is a
lawful purpose, has little to do with
the rights of other people, but under
conditions like those, which have been
shown-to exist at the present time,-
people are more or less disturbed.
They know that there Is a difference
of opinion between certain men who
are laborers and who have a perfect
right to their opinions and a perfect
right to organize to their fullest extent
to gain what they consider are their
rights and ’other people who do not
think as they do. When these condl-
J ions exist, we cannot. disguise. the
ait tbat'the' parties Whrf think differ
ently necessarily draw more or less
Irto parties. They consider those who
think as they do their friends and
those who do not thick as they do as'
more or less their enemies. For that
reason It behooves men, whether there
be Injunctions or whether there be no
Injunctions, whether there be trespass
notices, or whether there be no tres
pass notices, at a time like that to give
no occasion for suspicion of their good
Bfftl
Intentions. As to facts alleged to exist
when this bill was sworn out, the
court knows nothing. It presented suebs
a state of affairs as in the belief of
the court at the time authorised and
required It to lsaue Its Injunction. That
Injunction was not designed to restrain
any lawful right of any united mine
worker under the circumstances then
existed; It was designed simply to pro
tect the rights of the persons who de
sired to peacefully labor. The ques
tion, and the hard question for you
men to solve and tor the court to solve,
Is as to what precisely you may do at
any given time without violating the
rights cf those men who desire to
peacefully tabor.”

Dog Days Explained—Sour Plexus
Punch at President Rouseveit,
Commends Captain Howell

Dog days. So many of the young
people write to me about dog days that
I will answer briefly that there are no
dog days. It is nothing but a super
stition that has come down to us from
the ancients. The Dog star or Siriua
has Its time to appear In the heavens
and rise and set like other stars, but It
Is a very Irregular tinje and sp what
we call dog days may begin the first
of July or many days later. The rising
of Sirius In a line with the sun begins
now on the 3d of July and will con
tinue until the llth of August. Those
forty days were believed by the an
cients to irlng very hot -end sultry
weather and many malignant diseases,
but this has been disproved by modern
than any other institution in the Uni
ted States." It was self-conceit and
ignorance that provoked such a mon
strous absurdity, for Colonel Sprague,
of Yale college, has recently challeng
ed him to the proof and has shown be
yond all cavil that Yale can number
ten times the great men that West
Point can. number. Among them 1,383
ministers of the gospel, 78 justices of
’supreme courts, 17 chief justices, 546
doctors, 39 governors of states and 38
United States senators; besides these,
Yale has sent forth an army of educa
tors, established 480 colleges, 160 tov
women and 8,000 high schools, while
West Point has sent out none but sol
diers.
