Smith ended to day. The finding of the court will be forwarded to Washington. The general Impression here la that be will be acquitted. The cloning address of Colonel Charles A. Woodruff for the defense, waa a remark able oratorical effort that drew teara from hie hearera. He dramatically sketched General Smith's career and declared he conducted a remarkable and successful campaign In a manner which reflected credit on his valor, humanity and kind ties. "We claim," continued the colonel, "that the Bamar campaign lust brought to a suc cessful termination, while pushed actively, waa ever conducted wlthlu the limit of war. During the last few months It has seemed popular to criticise the army In tne Philippines.

"We have been worthy membera of the army, whoae bayonets never flashed except tn the defense of the law and whose tramp has carried comfort to those In danger, yet today we are apparently disgraced. Why I cannot Imagine that people at home ex pect to gain glory and politics advance ment by abusing the army." Colonel Woodruff, during his address, re viewed the evidence at length, showing the necessity for making Samar a "howling wilderness" and comparing the campaign In the Island with the strenuoua march to the aea, whose rout waa marked by a "cloud of amoke by day and a pillar of fire by night." The colonel said It had been proved by the evidence that native boys 8 years of age were capable of wielding bolos. He cited numerous Instances of military law, Roman, English and American, In behalf of the de fense, and dramatically portrayed General Smith's military career from the time he enlisted In 1861 to 1901, when he was ap pointed brigadier general, and described hla wounds, heroism and devotion to duty.

Colonel Woodruff added: "Now, after wearing for forty-one years the uniform of the United States with honor to himself and to the government, at the close of a re markably successful campaign In which he accomplish what Spain was unable to do In 400 years, returning, aa his friends thought, covered with glory, he was halted and taken off a transport to face charges growing out of the language used In giving Instructions for the conduct of a successful campaign. The defense feels that the gov ernment has only dons this In deference to overwhelming public sentiment baaed on rumors fostered for unknown and ignoble purposes, until hysteria was produced. Then this gray, wounded, victorious general was xpoaed to the Indignity of a trial, in de fense of hysterical public opinion." Colonel Woodruff alluded to the Ballnlgaga massacre In Samar as furnishing splendid testimony to the soldiers' heroism, and con cluded with saying: "General Smith faces the conscience of the court and poople with the full knowl edge that ha did his duty as an honorable soldier." The Judge advocate, Major Harvey C. Carbaugh, in closing for the prosecution, declared the defenae had admitted every thing, and that It only claimed Justification Ha said General Smith's orders, given to Major Waller on the bloody battleground ot Ballnlgaga, were such as to cause men to act ruthlesaly In a aplrlt of revenge.

Mr. Marlatt started home with a good supply of these ladybugs, but only sixteen survived in this country and fourteen ot these subsequently died.

Prof. Tniia, Europe's greatest' dermatologist, has discovered that dandruff, falling hair and baldness are caused by a germ or microbe. His discovery has been verified by such men as Kebouruud.

Rawlins said that his only intention In bringing the Gardener matter to the at tentlon of the senate bad been to develop the status of the case. He did not want to besmirch the army, but he did want a full inquiry to develop the guilty and have them punished while the Innocent may be exonerated. He said the minority "met everywhere with objections and obstruc tlona." "I call the senator from Utah to order," said Mr. Lodge. "No senator has a right to charge any other senator with obstruc tion." Mr. Rawlins referred to the case of Pri vate Riley and quoted the secretary of war as saying private soldiers are In clined to "draw the long bow" In writing home, which, he said. In itself was a re flection on the army. Contrary to the secretary's statement, he said, the charges of the privates had been sustained. Mr. Lodge The Riley case is the only one that has been sustained. Mr. Rawlins The Riley case la the only one that baa been fully investigated. Lodge Serves Notice of Speech.

Mr. Culberson replied to Mr. Foraker's reference to Governor Taft, aaying he had Intimated a lack of candor in connection with the withholding of the report ot Major Gardener. He said the report had been suppressed and added that the sec retary of war was now attempting to take the inquiry out of the hands ot the senate committee. At the .conclusion of Mr. Culberson's comments, Mr. Pettus said: "I rise merely to ask the senator from Utah (Rawlins) to withdraw the resolu tion. We are In a situation where the witness cannot be had, and why press this discussion which can only lead to bitter ness?" Mr. Foraker took sharp exception to the criticism of Governor Taft made by Mr. Culberson. He paid a high tribute to Gov ernor Taft and declared that It bad re mained tor the minority to question his honesty of purpose and his veracity. Patterson Gets Into It. Mr. Patterson of Colorado declared that the record, in his opinion, fully justified the criticism of the lack ot frankness of Governor Taft made by Mr. Culberson. Without concluding his remarks Mr. Pat terson yielded the floor, as he said he under stood the report of the death of Repre sentative Aamos J. Cummlngs ot New York was on the president's desk.
