ence between the President and Secre-
tary of State Elihu Root. before the

regarded as significant of the role which
American interests. especially those of
j. r. Morgan, are to play in the new
conditions the State Department must
face in the Far East. as presaged nv
the Hanlow railway concession de-
velOpments. The President knows that
Mr.. Bacon has the confidence OF Wall
Street. as well as an intimate knowledge
OF its plans in the transformation OF
China.
There is little doubt here that in
Japanese development OF Chinese rail-
ways American capital. as well as
American products. viii play leading
part. American diplomacy I'm the Far
East will. therefore he closely con-
nected with Wall Street interests. Mr.
Bacon is regarded as an expert in this
new field and it is thought by some his
appointment as Mr. Roots assistant had
some influence on Mr. Morgan's decision
to give up the Hankow concession

APPOINTMENT SIGNIFICANT
Former Partner of ]. P. Morgan Named
to Institute Business Methods
in State Department.

The appointment of Robert Bacon. OF
New York to be First Assistant Secrc-
tary of State. is taken here to mean
that the President intends to have the
State Department thoroughly overhaul
ed
The fact that a business man and bank
er should be given the next ranking po-
sition in the foreign office is in itself
an innovation, and this is thought TO
clearly Indicate the Presidents desire
to have more business-like methods
adopted in this department
1t has been an open secret for some
time that President Roosevelt was not
altogether satisfied with the mechanical
workings of the State Department OBJ
solete methods We're found to exist
there The parsimony of Congress in a
measure affected the natural growth and
development Of this important branch of
the Government.
There is evidence that Secretary Root.
who is a born organizer, will take hold
and start things going in the DEPART
ment with vim. He will be ably as
sisted by Mr. Bacon

SANITARY CONDITIONS
ON lSTHMUS OF PANAMA

New York, March 9.--Dr. Charles A.
l.. Reed, Of Cincinnati, a member OF
the Joint commission appointed by the
United States and the republic of Pa
mama, to adjust property values IN dis
pute between the two countries and
who has just returned from the isth-
mus, said today that I'm his opinion the
sanitary conditions In Panama are be-
ing improved as rapidly as could be
expected under the circumstances.
There has been more or less delay I'm
some directions but this, the doctor be-
lieves, Is due TO non-arrival OF neces-
sary construction material which has
been ordered in the United States.
While there has been considerable yell
low fever on the isthmus, Or. Reed said
that he thought the authorities appar-
emily had the situation well IN hand
when he sailed from Colon a week ago.
There have been just SO cases Of yell
low fever I'm Panama with II deaths
since the 18th Of last July, when the
first case WAS reported" he said.
colon Is not infected or al least not
when ! eft there. Sensational re-
ports Of the widespread prevalence OF
the disease are due chiefly TO the fact
that every case Of fever that Is sent TO
Ancon, whore all fevers cases are sent
is at once supposed TO be yellow fever.
As a matter OF fact all such cases. I'M
less so fully developed that diagnosis
is unmistaknble, are held as suspects
until all doubt is cleared up In this
way 20 or so suspected cases have been
proven not 10 be yellow fever at ALL
Everything that Intelligence and ener-
Ky can do with the limited facilities
available Is being done 10 stamp out
the disease. The water works and sew
