President Will Approve the
Verdict.
Officer, However, to Be 'Censured for
Incorporate Language-Papers
to Go to Oyster Bay.

1t was officially admitted yesterday
that Gen. Jacob Smith had been acquit-
ted by the court-martial in the Philip
pines. The President will approve the
court-martial verdict. and either censure
General Smith or admonish him not to
repeat his Incorporate language. II he
is cansured it will be done mildly.
TIE record OF the court martial
showed that the so-called orders 10
make Samar bowling wilderness"
were not orders at all, but that General
Smith merely made that statement in
discussion with Major Waller before his
expedition across Samar
The War Department is not inclined to
hold Gen. Jacob Smith responsible for
the Issuance of any direct order to
make Samar a bowling wilderness"
But 1t is considered that General Smith
is culpable for using such Incorporate
language in discussing a campaign to be
conducted by a subordinate.
Secretary Root will take the Smith and
Waller court-martial records on Friday

"WESTWARD, HOw THE CRY.
Unprecedented Rush of Eastern Farmers
to That Section.

DENVER. July 6.-Nevrr in the his
tory of the West has there been such
flood of Immigration into this part of
the country as there has been in the
last six months.
The strangest part OF II has been that
the heavy increase is not from foreign
countries Records show that during
April alone 125. 900 persons from Eastern
States moved to the Far West.
These figures show that vast NOV
ing era has opened up. Farmers VINO
had apparently settled down for life in
the East are found suddenly purchasing
land in tho West The reasons for these
immense changes have been closely
studied by railroad men.
The immigration from Europe having
been unusually heavy this year, 1t is
explained that many of the newcomers
are buying up small plots OF farming
lands in the East and entering into COM
petition with the sturdy farmers who
have titled the soil there for years.
Every member of an immigrants fam
ily assists in the work. thus putting
their produce on the market cheaper.
but with more profit than the American
competitor. who must either enter into
competition with these aliens, seek an
other occupation or move out. AS the
extra demand for farming land makes
the prices good he often takes the last
alternative, sells out his land and cpmes
West.
