.FuHU ROOT RECOVERING
ON SAN|TAR|UM ROUTINE
He Is Reported to BE in Close
Touch With Oyster
Bay.

Reports from Muldoon's sanitaI&
UNI at White Plains had it yesterday
that Elihu Root, secretary of state,
who had been patient there for
some time without the knowledge of
official Washington, had recovered to
such an extent as to be beyond the in
valid class and was so far on the road
to recovery as to be placed above the
rank of the convalescent. After Sec
rotary Root has passed the medicine
ball for a few more days and taken
the prescribed run on the roads at
White Plains every morning, he will
be fit, according to the opinion of
Muldoon, to take his place in the
cabinet again.
During Secretary Roots retirement
he is not without direct communica-
ton with Oyster Bay, according to a
story that was sent down from White
Plains yesterday afternoon.
Accounts differed; either the Pres
ident had left his seclusion at Saga
more Hill a run across the sound to
White Plains, on visit to the sec
rotary, or the secretary had forsaken
the medicine ball for hasty trip
across the sound to Sycamore Hill.
Muldoon, having an eye to the flu
ture of his sanitarium, announced
yesterday that Mr.. Roosevelt had de-
signed to visit the Muldoon sanitari-
UNI during the temporar yseclusion of
Mr.. Root. This report of Muldoon
was strenuously denied from Oyster
Bay yesterday.
In passing, it was pointed out that
Mr.. Roosevelt could not well appear
at the training quarters without be-
| ing recognized and hailed under his
true name. The intimation was also
given that there was no immediate
necessity for conference between
Roosevelt and his chief of cabinet
so pressing as to bring the president
across the sound to a sanitarium.
During Secretary Roots exclusion,
Mrs. Root is residing at the Hotel
Graham in this city. She is not eX-
cluded from Muldoon's farm, nor are
any of the close friends of the Sec
rotary.
1t is announced that Mr.. Roots
course of study at Muldoon's is not
as severe as that of the average sum-
mer school. All Mr.. Root has to do
is to get up early in the morning,
pitch the incline ball for a certain
set period and then repair to hearty
and wholesome breakfast. After that
he is free to motor or walk along the
country roads up to any reasonable
hour of the day. After which rub
down and bathrobe prepare him for
siesta in the sunlight of Westches-
ter county, lasting until there is no
more sunlight.
MuldOOn yesterday gave out a
statement concerning the course of
sprouts through which he was put
ting the secretary of state. He said:
when Mr.. Root first arrived he was
not allowed to transact any business,
but now | allow him to see his pri-
vate secretary two hours during the
day and transact such business as he
can in that period. Mr.. Roots con-
dition was really bad when he first
arrived, but now he looks years
younger. | cannot tell you the exact
course of treatment that | am giving
him, but in fifteen days, at the most,
I expect to have him in real prime
| shape"
Those who know Muldoon and his
radical course of treatment at his
| White Plains sanitarium said yester-
day that Secretary Root was getting
nothing that had not been handed
out to well-known men before. Ex-
Ambassador Joseph H.. Choate once,
went over the hurdles that Mr. Root
is now successfully taking; also Sen
ator Depew. Both these patients
survived the treatment and were the
| better for it, say those who know
Muldoon.-N. Y. Commercial.
