SUCCESSOR
OF LOOMS

oyster Bay. Sept. 5.--President Roose
welt has announced officially the appoint
ment 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-
her. after Secretary Root had become set
tied in the office Of secretary OF state.
Mr. Loomis' resignation has been prac-
tically In the hands OF President Roose-
welt for several months. His desire to
retire from the Office Of assistant secre-
tary was known to the president AT the
conclusion of the Bowen Loomis inquiry.
which resulted in the forced retirement
of Minister Bowen from the diplomatic
service
The death OF John Hay made IL neces-
sary for the president 10 select not only
secretary Of state. but also a first
assistant secretary, who would be ac-
ceptable TO the chief OF the department.
Practically Immediately upon the accept
ance by Ellhu Root OF the office OF sec
retary Of state he and the president deter
mined upon the appointment OF Mr. Bacon
as assistant secretary. The latter is held
in high regard by both the president and
Secretary Root. who have known him
intima tely for many years For years
Mr. Bacon has been an important factor
in the business equation Of New York.
