President Roosevelt Gracefully Rec
 ognizes the Vice President.
Has Designated Him to Act ns Ills Personal Representative at Pub
 He Functions at the Capital.

ashington, April 15.-President Roosevelt always has been a breaker of traditions. but his most recent act in this direction is the most graceful thing that h~s been done in the gov crnment service for many a long year. He officially has recognized the vice president of the United States as his direct personal representative and has designated him to act in name and on behalf of the president at an official ceremony.
 Not only that, but President Fairbanks will preside at a reception in the White House during the ab- sence of the president in the west and will take charge of all these functions at the personal request and designa ton of President Roosevelt himself.
 It has been seldom hat vice-presl- dent during the merely temporary ab- sence of the president has been invited to take charge al a public official func- ton in the White House, and when they have appeared it has been as dis tinguished officials but not as mem bers of the presidents White House family.
