Roosevelt yesterday afternoon signed
the bill providing for a Department OF
Commerce. thus concluding its enact
ment into law
The bill was received at the White
House Friday evening. Next morning
IN accordance with the usual form, it
was sent to the Department of Justice
for examination by the attorney GEN

that afternoon with Attorney General
knox's recommendation that it be
sfpSed. Soon afterward President
Roosevelt affixed his signature in the
presence of Secretary Root and Secre-
fary COrtelyou. The signing of the
measure creating what promises to be
one of the most important departments
OF the government was attended by no
ceremony. In due time the formal
announcement will be sent to Congress
that the President has signed the bill.
1t is well understood that George B.
Cortelyou, secretary to the President.
will be appointed secretary of the new
department. His appointment will be
sent to the Senate by the President
early next week. perhaps Monday, and
1t is likely there will be no delay in its
confirmation. 1t is not probable that,
in anticipation of the enactment of the
necessary supplementary legislation.
the President may send TO the Senate
very soon the appointments of some
OF the important officials of the new
department. 1t is regarded as particu-
larry desirable that the preliminary

work of organizing the department be
entered upon as soon as practicable.
Many important details will have to
be worked out before the bureaus al
ready in operation in other depart
ments are transferred to the new de-
partment. The transfer of the exist
ing bureaus will take place. formally
until the close of the present fiscal
year, June 30th.
Coincident with the qualification Of
Secretary Cortelyou as the secretary
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, William Loeb, Jr., will enter
upon the duty of secretary to the Pres
ident Mr.. Loeb is at present first as
sistant secretary to the President. For
several years he has been private sec
retary to President Roosevelt, serving
him in that capacity while he was
governor of New York and vice presi-
dent. 1t is understood that few changes
will be made in the White House force
other than those indicated. B. F.
Barnes, now assistant secretary to the
President, will take up the duties now
performed by Mr.. Loeb, and the Presi-
dent will designate another, not yet
settled, to take Mr.. Barnes places
AS soon as Secretary Cortelyou be-
gins the work of organizing the new
department he will take up with the
appropriation committees of the House
and Senate details of the legislation
necessary for the maintenance of the
department. The new department will
add another to the long list of big sup
