STATUS OF THE SMITH CASE
President May Return IL to Court, but
Cannot Compel Reversal
of FindingH.

WASHINGTON, June 10-Secretary Root
said today that he had not yet had time
to consider the case Of General J. H.
Smith, tried by courtmartial at Manila for
alleged violation of the rules of war in the
conduct of the campaign of Samar. He
added that as the Smith case was passed
practically on the transactions which led
to the trial Of Major L. W. T. Waller OF
the Marine corps by courtmartial, charged
with the illegal killing of Filipino soldiers,
he probably would await the receipt of the
record Of that case before giving final con-
sideration to the Smith case.
The Waller record is not expected to
reach this city for several weeks. 1t Is said
at the War department that the Waller
case is closed incident, but the Smith
case will not be legally closed until it has
been finally acted on by the president.
The significance Of this statement is that
It is still within the power OF the presi-
dent to return the case to the court for
reconsideration of the evidence adduced,
even though the Officer was acquitted by
the court, as the press dispatches from
Manila have indicated.
The court could not be legally compelled
TO change its findings. however, against
its own judgment, and its adher-
enoe 10 q verdict OF mot guilty" would
stand. despite the disapprsval Of the presi-
dent, which. in that case would be simply
as rebuke to the court without affecting
the legal status Of the accused.
