BACON CONSIDERED
ROOTS SUCCESSOR
Rumor That Secretary Is
To Resign Springs Up
Again.

The semi-anslusi rumor that Secretary
Of State Elihu Root is about TO present
his resignation TO President Roosevelt
has again made its appearance. This
time, as before. Il has assumed no very
tangible form, and has no official inti-
nation behind it. However. those who
claim &c be IN close. unofficial touch
with the affairs of the Administration
think that It is merely a question Of
a few weeks before Secretary Root re-
tires from the Cabinet and is succeed
ed by Assistant Secretary OF State
Robert bacon.
The reasons given for this opinion
are that Secretary Root works too hard
as Secretary OF State, and that his
health, which is already greatly inn
proved, would be still further benefited
by a rest from active life for a few
months. Then. too. the fact that AS
sistant Secretary Bacon has lately ref
fused one Of the most important diplo-
matte posts in the service also gives
some color 10 the report DR.. Bacon is
said TO have told President Roosevelt on
being offered the post as ambassador
TO Berlin that he preferred TO remain
in the State Department.
1t is noticed too that Secretary Bacon
Is in close touch with the transactions
now being carried on by Secretary Root,
and that he IS always present when
the larger questions are being discussed
besides seeming to study the methods
OF the present Secretary.

seems that punishment should have
stopped here before 1t took the form OF
Outrageous unprofessionalism which II

NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.-The good folk

rectness. They viii not suffer any Atm
sites or "such trash" to exist in their
beloved village longer than It takes the
said afhnities after being discovered, to

table.
That Is why Lewis Overton. southold's
pnly garage proprietor. spent most OF
last night packing up his buds so he
could go away from there. When Over
ton opened his garage on Saturday
morning he found a gentle hint tackled
on the front door IN the shape of a
poster which gave him forty-eight hours

There was more than that sign for
Overton TO read. There was some call

round the manifesto which made it i'm
possible for Overton not to understand
that Southold was "het up"
