HIS GRACE, THE
DUKE, ARRIVES
IMPOSING SPECTACLE PRE-
SENTED AT HOTEL
REPORTERS NOT ADMITTED

other Is Expected In the

REPORTERS NOT ADMITTED

Happy Hoolgans friend, the duke Of
Sutherland, is at the Van Nuys. AS
the imposing array of carriages drew
UP before the fashionable hostelry and
we'll fed men at arms leaped to the
ground with drawn pixies and formed
lane, down which marched his grace.

VII? The gentleman answered the
question by advancing to the register
and writing therein the simple auto
graph, Duke of Sutherland" He did
not write the rest of his names and
pedigree, because his secretary, who is
custodian of the three volumes in which
they are inscribed had not as yet ar
rived and the duke could not remember
them all.

tinguished Englishman, but another

Reporters Fare Badly
AS it was, the reporters Jared badly.
The duke could not be seen-the clerk
was good enough to impart that to
over-anxious news-seekers; but some
attempted to run the gauntlet.
A Herald reporter got past the third
assistant shoe blacker the second
deputy whisker trimmer and two or
three other dignitaries of equal or su-
perior importance, but when he struck
the custodian of the ducal waistcoat
he got no further.
This august parsonage stood in the
middle of the hall and effectually
blocked passage on either side. He said
that he could answer all questions rela-
tive to the trip and the intentions of
the party.
BY system of cross ss-eXamination the
fact was brought to light that Happy
Hooligan had failed to call upon the
duke when the former was recently in
England This fact has worried the
ducal mind great deal since and as it
was feared this worry would bring on
nervous prostration trip to "Ham-
merica" was planned, that his grace
might explore the wilds of the western
continent and thus forget the slight.

RABBI H1RscH ON SUFFRAGE.


Portland, Ore, July 6-The National
Womans Suffrage Association brought
its meetings to a close Wednesday af-
ter one of the busiest sessions Of the
convention.
A vast number of resolutions and
reports were attended to and an adj
dress was given by Rabbi Emil G..
Hirsch of Chicago in the afternoon.
Dr. Hirsch made a formal argument
for woman suffrage, showing the anon
ally Of trusting the training of our
future citizens to women teachers and
refusing to these teachers themselves
the highest privilege Of citizenship.
The great reforms of the day, he
said, are in the hands of women who
are not allowed to vote on them when
they come before the people for settle
ment. This the speaker pronounced an
outrage on women and a loss to the
country.
Mrs. Florence Kelley in her report
on Industrial Problems Affecting
Women and Children" Wednesday
made the strong point that the weak
ness Of the suffrage movement has been
that 1t has not enlisted the active sup
port Of the workingmen and urged that
the two great forces join hands to
work for the protection of women and
children breadwinners, and for women
suffrage through which this can be
obtained,

ROOT SUCCEEDS HAY.
Former Secretary Of War Returns
to Cabinet.
WILL BB SECRETARY OF STATE.
President Roosevelt Pays Tribute
to Life and Services Of John Hay
In Speech Before National
Educational AssOciatiOn.

| Oyster Bay, L. l., July 8.--Oficial an
nouncement was made here Friday that
Elihu Root has been appointed secre-
tary of state. The announcement was
made Friday on the authority Of Pres
ident Roosevelt in the following state
ment given out by Secretary Loeb:
"Elihu Root has accepted the tender
by the president Of the secretaryship OF
state. He will take the oath Of once
| in a couple Of weeks but 1t will neces-
sarily be some little time before he
closes up his business affairs. He will
not 20 to Washington permanently
until some time in September"
President Roosevelt is much graft
fed at MI. Roots acceptance and is
deeply sensible Of the personal sac
rifices made by Mr.. Root in again TAX
Ing upon himself the burdens and du-
ties Of member Of the cabinet.
The decision of Mr.. Root was reached
finally on the presidents special train
during the return Of the presidential
party from Cleveland. For personal
reasons entertained both by the presi-
dent and by Mr.. Root 1t was deemed
advisable not to announce the decision
publicly until the president had re-
turned to Sycamore Hill. 1t was
determined, therefore that the oficial
statement Of the presidents tender and
Mr.. Roots decision to accept 1t would
be made Friday.
President Roosevelt paid an appro-
pirate and eloquent triubte to the life
and services Of the late Secretary Of
State, John Hay, in his address before
the National Educational Association
at Ocean Grove Friday. He followed
this tribute with an estimate Of the
personal sacrifice Elihu Root has made
in becoming Secretary Hays successor
in Office. The example Of these two
men, not entirely unique as the presi-
dent indicated in reference he made
to other members Of his cabinet, en-
abled him to point most effective
moral.
President Roosevelt's reference to
both Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Root were re-
ceived with tremendous applause, his
statement that the latter had accepted
the office of secretary of state, fact
Of which many of his auditors were not
aware, bringing the audience to its feet
cheering.
