ROOT 64 YEARS OLD

Spends Anniversary of Birth In Room at Hot Springs Hotel. Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 16. —Closely housed because weather conditions outside would not permit of the long horseback ride over the mountains that has been his dally outing since his arrival here, Senator Elect Elihu Root of New York spent his sixty-fourth birthday anniversary in his private quarters at his hotel. “I never felt better,” declared Root. “I have fully recovered from the trouble about my knee.” He received many telegrams of congratulation from public men.
