BACON SUCCEEDS LOOMS
New York Financier VIII Become the
First Assistant Secretary
ofO state.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 4.-President Roose-
welt this afternoon announced officially the
appointment OF Robert Bacon of New York
to be first assistant secretary of state TO
succeed Francis B. Loomis.
The announcement was accompanied by
statement that Mr.. Bacon would not
assume the duties Of his Office for some
time, perhaps about the middle of Octo-
Der, after Secretary Root had become set
tied in the Office OF secretary Of state.
For years Robert Bacon has been an
important fnancier In the bushes equation
in New York. Until within a few months
sipce he was a Junior partner in the bank
ing house Of ]. P. Morgan Co.
At the settlement by President Roosevelt
of the anthracite coal strike, Mr.. Bacon
represented Mr. Morgan in two confer
ences in Washington which made for
amicable adjustment Of the trouble. Sub
sequently, when Mr.. Bacon retired from
the firm of ]. P. Morgan & Co., the presi-
dent determined to utilize his services IL
a suitable place for him could be found
Mr.. Bacon was here today as a guest
OF the president and Mrs. Roosevelt at
! luncheon.
1t is expected that Mr.. Loomis will re-
| linQuish his office in a short time and his
| resignation will take effect at the conclu-
i blOn Ol Il lehNe Oh absence wnlCn ne pro-
poses to take. No statement is made con-
corning his possible future in official life,
| but, as heretofore noted in these dispatches,
his appointment to an important diplomatic
| post is problematical.
| An official party which was entertained
at luncheon today by the president and
| Mrs. Roosevelt included Postmaster Gen.
eral George B. Cortelyou, Senator A. J.
| Beveridge Of Indiana, Judge w. L. Penfeld
| solicitor for the State department, and
Civil Service Commissioner Alfred w
Cooley. Commissioner Cooley came to Oys.
| ter Bay to consider with the president some
phases OF the civil service regulations as
applied to employees on the Panama canal
Commissioner Cooley said that great diff
| hculty had been experienced by the
Isthmian Canal commission and by the
Civil Service commission in procuring the
right kind of skilled labor for work on the
| canal.
1T was proposed at first" said he, that
canal employees be excepted from the civil
service. but Chairman Shonts did not ap
| prove of that idea because he desired tha
some authorized body out of the Cana
| commission should pass upon the qualfica
lions of applicants. I went over the whole
| matter with the president. It has beer
decided now that Chairman Shonts will
appoint an employment agent in each OF
the cities, New York. Chicago and New
Orleans, and the Civil Service commission
will make those agents members of tn,
local civil service board in those cities
Applicants for positions on the canal WORT
will be required to comply with stipulated
regulations, which will not be made yer!
