SCHWAB TO RETIRE
FROM BUSINESS LIFE

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. ia LOretto,
Pa, special to the Pittsburg Dispatch
says: President Charles NJ. Schwab, of
the United States Steel Corporation
has accepted the advice Of physicians
and decided to retire indefinitely from
an active business life. He will leave
America to seek some quiet nook in a
foreign cline. where not an echo of the
strenuous life he has led can reach him.
This information is authentic.
DR.. Golden never leaves the Schwab
home and the exact nature of his pa
TENTS illness cannot be learned
through him.
Mr.. Schwab is not confined to his
bed, but spends much of his time on
the wide veranda which affords fresh
air and a sweeping view of the noun
tain slope. The strange part of Mr.
Schwab's illness is that he is always
within view of those who call at his
house. yet he will not allow any per-
son to approach him. Heretofore the
visitor to the Schwab home was greet
ed with a hearty welcome and a vigor-
Gus handshake. Now the visitor is met
at the entrance and told that Mr.
Schwab cannot be seen. Intimates OF
the family receive the same message
and none has been able to converse
with President Schwab since he came
back to his nome.
Inquiry among the people of The
town who have conversed with tn,
Schwabs fully corroborated the stories
that he intends to retire from active
business life. His friends, however
deny that If he leaves the United State.
Steel Corporation it will be at the die
tation of any person other than him
self. II is said Mr. Schwab will sal
for Europe tomorrow or Thursday tC
remain several months.

GEORGE KELLEY'S DEATH
Is A MYSTERIOUS one
Mother Says Her Son Was Subject 10
Fits, But This Is Not
Believed

There is mystery surrounding the
death of George Kelley, a tinsmith,
living at No. S04 King street. He died
this morning in the Delaware Hos
pital, from a fractured skull, resultant
from a fall. so say the police reports,
but the circumstances surrounding the
case do not bear out this report
Kelley was a tinsmith by trade, and
was last seen alive by his mother and
sister at o'clock this morning, and
he was in good spirits.
That mystery surrounds the death
OF Kelley is demonstrated by the fact
that the pool Of blood in which he was
lying at the time Policeman Sherry dis
covered the body was at least several
feet from the steps Of his home. and
the blood spots are in such a direction
as to preclude any possibility of the
man having met his death in a natural
manner. He may have been set upon
by toughs and beaten. but none of the
neighbors was alarmed by any noise
at the time the body was discovered.
Mrs Kelley, the mother of the man,
says that her son was subject to fits
but this is not believed. Persons inter-
ested in the case do not believe that
Kelley could have fractured his skull
by a fall OF three feet.

cans of Delaware are in State COnven-
tiOn here today to select a nominee
for Representative in Congress, a nomi-
nee for Auditor of Accounts, and an

mony proposition.
