ed New York on the baseball field here

PRAISED BY PRESIDENT
Cabinet Meeting in Nature of Fare
well to Secretary and Recep-
ton to Successor.
TAFT BEGINS ON MONDAY

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - President
Roosevelt. Secretary Root and Governor
Taft were the principal figures at to-day's
meeting of the Cabinet. All the members
except Secretary Hay were present.
Governor Taft arrived at the executive
offices soon after the Cabinet had assem-
bled and was shown directly into the Cab
met room. He remained throughout the
session, leaving in company with Secretary
Root The meeting, after the transaction
of the usual departmental business, devel-
oped into a farewell for Secretary Root
and a reception for Governor Taft. The
former formally presented Governor Taft
to his colleagues as his successor, express
ing at the same time his personal regret
at the severance of official relations which
he so long sustained to the President and
the members of the Cabinet
President Roosevelt spoke with deep feel
ing OF the retirement of Secretary Root

circumstances, he could make no public
expression of his feelings without the ap-
pearance of trenching upon prOpriety, he
sincerely indebted to Secretary Root
for the great work he had accomplished.

could realize the labor, self-sacrifice, gem
crosby and disinterestedness which had
characterized Secretary Roots entire ca
reer as a member of the Cabinet or how
mucn MS devotion 10 MS great task ndO
meant to the administration and to the
country. Especially had all this been true
of the secretarys work during the past
six months, without thought of credit to
himself but solely with the idea of adj
vancing the interests of the President, his
successor and the people of the United
States. In the Presidents tribute to Sec
rotary Root the other members of the Cab
met cordially agree.
1t has been arranged that Governor Taft
shall take oath of office of secretary OF
war at noon Monday at the War Depart
ment. Secretary Root will be with him to
turn over the conduct of the business to
his care and Lieut. Gen. Chaffee will be
