ROOT IS AT OUTS
WITH ROOSEVELT
BREACH BETWEEN TWO MAY
END IN FORMERS RESiGNA-
TIoN FROM CABINET.
HAD MANY DIFFERENCES
Regarding Presidents Views and May
Be- a Bit Sore Because He Was
Not Entered in Presidential
Race.

Washington, April 29.-Elihu Root.
secretary Of state, has ceased TO be
the chief adviser and closest official
friend OF President Roosevelt, and 1t
is clearly transparent that he will
not hereafter be prominent in shap-
ing national policies.
When Mr. Root became secretary of
state he became virtually tbs entire
cabinet. His opinion was asked on
every question that arose. At cabinet
meetings he has always requested 70
give Judgment on matters brought
forward by any of his assoclat S. Ma
turally this was not pleasing to the
other members Now, however, Secre-
tares Taft and Cortelyou are the pres
idents advisers. Mr.. Ro-t is ignored
The personal rlatons between the
president and Mr. Root are not now
intimate and confidential. The daily
horseback rides have ceased, II was
and Mr. Root TO meet at TIN edge Of
he city and go for long rides through
the parks or adjoining country. Some
times Senator Lodge would be a mem
Der of the little party, but more often
1t would be only the presid mt and his
secretary of state.
Still Ride, But Not Together.
Mr.. Ro@t still goes horseback rid
ing, but alone. The president goes,
bit with others.
The Sc eming breach has begun 70
provoke comment and it Is believed
L that Mr. Root will not much longer
remain in the cabinet.
The cause OF the enlargement be
|twsf ii the president and MIR Root
have not heen dvnlged, but there are
surmises One suggestion is that Roo
became offended because the presi
dfnt privately advocated the nomina
ton Of Taft as his successor when II
had been previously understood tina
his influence would be thrown to Root.
Another suggestion is that the presi-
dent did not like the lukewarm in
porsement givn by Root to his de
nunciation of Harrman and othes
railroad magnates. Still another is
that the president and Mr.. Root dis
agreed over the punishment of Ode,i
and Wadsworth. and the attitude as
sumed by the administration toward
the political situation in N w York.
If Mr.. Root leaves the cabinet his
retirement will be chiefly attributed TO
the dislike of his wife and daughters
for life in Washington. They have
always pref rred New York as resi-
dence and care nothing for the social
side of affairs here. They would al
any time welcome return to their
old home.

The Il. A. Ryan Mercantile Compan,

Clothing Cases.

The E. A. Ryan Mercantile Com
pany has just added to its store fur
nishing perhaps the handsomest set
of fixtures ever made for any store
in the city.
1t is a clothing and hat case run
ming the entire length of their store
and in which can be displayed in the
very latest fashion the popular clo-
thing sold by this house. The casing
as it may be called is forty-five feet
in length and about four feet in dep
tn. In these cases there it an at
tachment, which pulls out, giving
splendid opportunity to display all
the goods contained in that one par
ticular case, without disturbing all
the clothing, as is necessary. where
the clothes are made up in piles.
The case has sliding doors and is
dust proof, made of fine quarter
sawed oak and is a very beautiful
addition to the fixtures of this cloth
ing house
The whole case occupies the west
side of the store room and large
stock can be carried in the cases.
there being eight in number making
up the fun forty-five feet.
Manager Ed. Ryan of the company
is just as proud of his handsome
fixtures as anyone could possibly be.
as Mr.. Ryan is at all times hunting
up something new to make his store
attractive and beautiful.
The work was well done at home
by Daniel Freedman, one of the old
timers here and one of the best wood
workers in the city.
Altogether the addition OF this new
clothing fixture adds to the new room
occupied by the e. A. Ryan Mercan-
tile company and shows that Manager
Ryan is keeping strictly abreast of the
times.
