to take that bread for their own with

ROOT is TO RESIGN
1t is Believed That Taft Will
be offered the Port
folio.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, August 11.-Bafore Secre-
tary Root sails for London TO sit with
the Alaskan Commission, he will lace his
resignation in the hands of presideit
ROOSEVELT in order that the President
may appoint a Secretary of War if it
Is deemed necessary during Mr.. Root s
absence. 1t is expected however, that
the resignation will not be acted upon
until after Congress meets. The ap-
pointment of Mr.. Roots successor will
depend somewhat upon the length of
time that Secretary Root VIII be en-
gagged upon the Alaskan Boundary Com
mission.
1t has been known for some tlrlo tnat
Secretary Root intended to retire but he
did not wish to leave the department
until the general staff bill was i'll opera
tiGn and other matter pertaining TO the
department were well under way. 1t il
understood that the matter Of his sue
cessor has been discussed and Illile moth
ing official can be obtained here it is
believed that the position will be ten
dered to Governor Taft.
While Secretary Root is in London he
will remain in communion with the
war department ana matters perla nlnR
to the general staff and other important
affairs will be referred to him. II the
sittings of the Alaskan Commission are
extended beyond December lst, it is likely
that the Secretarys resignation viii be
accepted and his successor appointed at
that time, and if the situation in the
War Department such that a assistant
secretary is needed to take charge of
affairs one will be appointed earlier.
Secretary Roots desire TO leave pub
lie life is based largely on person:sl
grounds. His family does not ike the
life in Washington and the Secretary de-
sires also to return to his law prac-
tlce in New York. The Secretary ieel,
that he has accomplished the work that
he was called upon to do when he be-
came Secretary of War.

days ago, when the question of merger
of their interests was gone into fully
and discussed at length. So far as
known, the plans of these gentlemen do
not contemplate taking in any other
mills, and, for the reason, it is presumed
that their idea is to effect closer or
ganization of their own interests for the
purpose of operating on more econom'-
