SChWAB MAY
LOSE Ills JOB

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Press
says: With the homecoming of j.
Pierpont Morgan next week, the retire
ment of Charles NJ. Schwab, president
Of the United States Steel Corporation,
and the election of James Gayley, the
present first vice-president, as his sue
cessor, will be taken into immediate
consideration. The bewildering array
of projects which demand the attention
of Morgan and his associates may de-
lay action few weeks, but just as soon
as they can get around to it the change
will be made.
Schwab's ill health is one reason that
has brought the management of the
billion dollar trust to the view that the
change should be made. But there is
another more potent and that is the
lack of harmony between Schwab and
his fellow members of the executive
committee of the steel trust.
Schwab was very efficient mechanic
when Carnegie took fancy to him. His
Knowledge of steel manufacture in all
ITS grades was what had endeared him
to Carnegie, and with Scotch pertinaci-
ty Carnegie refused to see the lack OF
upper qualifications and issued his ulti-
matum that If the United States Cor
poration didn't want to take Schwab
they couldn't take the Carnegie plant.
From the beginning it was patent
that Schwab was not in sympathy with
his associates. He was not an old man,
but he was too old to take up a line of
thought entirely new and adapt himself
to conditions with which he was wholly
unfamiliar.
When it came to discussing mechani-
cal details he was at home. When it
came to originating or drawing COM
mercial operations he was at sea, and
so it came about that the executive and
administrative work of the aggregated
industries fell on other shoulders.
So far as known there was no specific
agreement entered into with Carnegie
as to how long Schwab was to remain
as president. If there was the time linn
it has expired.
Schwab is credited with receiving a
salary of a million dollars a year

NEW YORK, Aug. ia memorandum

The German note was not officially

note informed the United States of its
intention to occupy Venezuelan port in
order to enforce payment of the German

President Castro's official answer to that

Venezuela's right to legislate both for
Venezuelan citizens and Tor foreigners re

Castro insists that the claims Of the

TRAGEDY
ON THE
HIGH SEA
A Crazy Fireman
Net Death in
the Deep.

The steamer Tampico which arrived
from Seattle last evening, after a yoy-
age OF eleven days, brings "a drama
tie story of a man jumping overheard
and the heroic and remarkably quick
work of the officers and men of that
vessel in rescuing his body. Within
ten minutes after he had jumped over
board the steamer had been put about,
a boat manned and lowered, the man
picked up, and his unconscious body
placed on the deck of the vessel. 1t is
probably the quickest work of the kind
ever done. The man died without be-
ing restored to consciousness.
The tragedy happened when the ves-
sci was only four days out from Seat
tie. August Walters, a fireman, forty
five years OF age, had been complaining
of illness and was probably out of his
mind. The chief engineer had relieved
him of his duties and he was spending
his time about the officers quarters try
ing to recover his senses. The officers
had been using him well and thought
to cheer him up by kind words. At
about four o'clock Walters jumped
over the side. A sailor shouted man
overheard" Captain Ames, the new
master of the Tampico was on the
bridge. and hearing the cry acted very
promptly. lie brought the vessel
around, sent the mate up into the rig
ging to watch the spot where the man
jumped into the sea, had a boat man
ned and lowered in charge Of second
mate Healy, and by keen judgment
brought the vessel back to the exact
place where the man had jumped over
The boats crew secured the body
promptly.
The body still had life in 1t when
brought on deck and the captain used
every means in his power to restore
consciousness but in an hours time life
was pronounced extinct. Arrangements
We're made at once for the burial. At
seven o'clock the steamer was stopped
and amid the tolling of the vessels bell
the captain read the burial service and
the body was sent to its final resting
place by being put into the sea for a
second time.
The entries in the vessels log give
a brief account of the tragedy. They
say: AT 1851 p. m. in lat 3i-n north
and longitude 1862 west August. wal
tcrs, fireman, who had been complain
In" Of feeling III and was off duty,
jumped overheard. The life boat was
brought on board and all efforts were
made to revive him but without sue
cess. At 5:l5 it was decided that life
was extinct and preparations were
made for burial. At o'clock the YES
sci was stopped and the man was
