Fort Plain. N. r., August 11.-Henry spalding. aged about 45 years. an ex- pert enthusiastic automobllits from West Orange, N. J.. rode to his death four miles east of here this afternon. He was on the tow path of Erie Canal. Ow- ing to the muddy condition of the path and while turning out for a lineman' s rig his auto swerved more than he in- tended and man and machine plunged in- to the water.
 The linen rushed to aid Spalding, but in their excitement let go entirely of a rope. one end of which they had thrown to the drowning man. One of them then hastened to Spraker a hamlet nearby for assistance but by the time help ar rived Spalding had gone down for the last time. The body was recovered bad ly entangled In the rope which had been thrown him. The machine. uninjured and with brakes set, was also recovered.
 Mir. Spalding was en route to Chicago and met an accident one week ago today that kept him in Amsterdam for repairs until this afternoon. Meantime his tray- cling companions, his wife and her mother, had gone on to Syracuse, where they were waiting in order to continue the journey with him. The body was taken to Canajoharie.
 Spalding was a veteran automobilist and at Amsterdam yesterday was advised by Dr. J. II. Jackson of this village that owing to the dangerous condition of the roads he should at least ship his auto mobile to Syracue. Mir. Spalding replied that he considered himself equal to the difficulties before him.

 Jeffries will move from Harbin Springs to Oakland tomorrow and will be the guest of the Reliance club until Friday night. Bill Delaney is delighted with his condition.

 Her testimony was corroborated in many of It's essential features by that of other witnesses, also prisoners.
 The other side of the case has not been reached yet, but Captain Allagood de- clared:
 ''The charge made by this woman Is ab- solutely false. She had become unman- ageable and insolent to my wife and her example was destructive of discipline. whipped her only after the prison physi- clan pronounced her condition good. The punishment was mild she was not hurt.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
 COMES FROM OYSTER BAY.

Oyster Bay, N. r., August u.-Elihu Root will resign as secretary of war, the resignation to take effect abotA the first of next January. He will be Succeeded, unless present plans miscarry, by Judge William H. Taft, now governor of the Philippines.
 For long time Secretary Root has de- sired for pressing private reasons, to re- tire from the cabinet. When MT. Roose- velt became President, Secretary Root in- dicated his wish to leave the cabinet within a year. but his friendship for the President and his interest in pending questions before the war department caused him to remain for a longer period than he had intended
 Even now he has not indicated to the President Just when he may leave the cabinet but he and the President have discussed the subject many times and have a mutual understanding regarding 1 if. It is not expected that the secretary will present his resignation before he leaves for England to take up the work of the Alaskan boundary commission and 1t can be said that the President expects that tho country will have the benefit of Secretary Roots services yet for several months. certainly until the beginning of the next year.
 That Governor Taft will be made Root s successor as secretary of war there can be little doubt. He is familiar with many of the problems which the secretary of war will have to meet and solve he Is a warm personal friend of the Presi- dent, who has an abiding confidence in his ability and patriotism, and 1t Is un- derstood that he would welcome the change
 Of course his appointment as secretary of war would necessitate the appointment of new president of the Philippine com mission. In all probability General Luke Wright would succeed to the presidency of the commission, his work as a mem Der of that body having been emnently satisfactory to the administration Some other changes also would be involved in the appointment of Governor Taft sec retary of war, but nothing definite con cerning them can be said at thls time.

 London to sit with the Alaskan commission he will place his resignation in the hands of President Roosevelt in order that the President may appoint a secre- tary of war if 1t Is deemed necessary dur ing MT Roots absence. It Is expected, however, that the resignation will not be acted upon until after congress meets. The appointment of MT. Roots successor will depend upon the time that he will be engaged upon the Alaskan commission.
 It has been known for some time that Secretary Root intended to retire, but did not wish to leave the department until the general staff bill was in operation and other matters pertaining to the depart ment were well under way It is under stood that the matter of his successor has been decided and while nothing official can be obtained, 1t Is believed that tho position will be rendered Governor Taft
 While Secretary Root Is in London he will remain in communication with the war department and matters pertaining to the general staff and other important af- fairs will be referred to him. If the sit tings of the Alaskan commission extend beyond December 1, it is likely that the secretary's resignation will be accepted at that time. and If the situation in the war department becomes such that a sec- retary Is needed to take charge of af- fairs one will be appointed earlier. It is believed here that there will be a great deal of delay in consideration of the Alas kan boundary case and that the United States commissioners may be detained in London several months.
 Secretary Roots desire to leave public life is based largely on personal grounds. His family does not like the life in Wash ington and the secretary desires also to return to his law practice in New York. The great questions that were pending in the war department relating mainly to the administration of the islands ac- quired from Spain and the establishment of government In Cuba. have been ac- complished during Secretary Roots ac- ministration. The reorganization of the army under the general staff plan Is now
