Vacates Dismissal Order.
UNSOLDIERLY CONDUCT At san JUAN
This Was the Charge Against the
Colonel Of the Sevsnty-hrst New
York Which Has Caused n
Controversy.

ALBANY:~N. u. Nov. l4.-The ap
has handed down decision in favor
of Major Clinton H. Smith of the Sev
enty-first regiment. New York city
in the legal proceedings which he insti.
tuted to prevent the carrying oui Of
the order ous,ing him from the nation
al guard. The decision vucatcs the de
termination of Il board Of examiners Of

ed that hr he dismissed from the srrv'

ed by Governor Roosevelt.
This controversy Is of long standing.
and the decision of the appcllal" divi-
sion of the supreme court is based On
in opinion of the court Of appeals rem

was rendered by that conrl in another
phase of this ease The court Of ap-
ptals at HAT time held that Major
Smith had not been given full oppor
tunity by the board of examiners to
properly present his side of the ease.
The effect Of the decision of the np-
pellntr division is that the decision Of
the board of examiners that he he dis
missed from the service be uvrrrulcd.
This ease has attracted attention in
military circles ever since Governor
Roosevelt issued general order No. I.
May l.. 1899. directing Major Smith to
appearstcforr board Of examiners to
BE- examined as to his rapability and
general fitness for service in tue ma
tional guard rs IL commissioned Off
Ger.
On the 10Th of May following the
board met in this city and recommend
ed his discharge from the scrvic" for
unsol,lcrlikc conduct at the battle of
SAN Juan. The governor approved til"
adverse findings of this court and is
sued special order directing that Ma
jor Smith be dismissed from the Srrv-
lee. "a writ Of -rertiorAri WIS suI>e

and it brought up for review The or
dcrS issued in the ease. the findings Of
the board. the approval.of the govern
or and the special order diSrhnrying
him from the service. Tilr court va
