TO The Pittsburg Dispatch says that President
Charles NJ. Schwab of the United States Steel Cor
poraton has accepted the advice Of physicians and
decided 70 retire indefinitely from an active bust
ness life He VIII leave America to seek some quiet
nook in foreign cline where not an echo of the
strenuous life he has led can reach him. This in
formation is authentic. DIR. Goden never leaves the
Schwab home and the exact nature of his patients
illness cannot be learned through him.
Mr.. Schwab is confined to his bed. but spends
much of his time the wide yeranda, which
affords fresh air and sweeping view Of the noun
tain slope. He is always with his wife or his
parents. The strange part Of Mr.. SchTab's illness
is that he is always within view of those who call
his house, yet he will not allow any person 70
approach him. Heretofore the visitor 10 the
Schwab home greeted with a hearty welcome
and a vigorous han6shake. Now the visitor Is met
at the entrance and told that Mr.. Schwab cannot
be seen. Intima Of the family receive the same
message. and none have been able TO converse with
President schwab since he came back to his home

The report that the decision of the generals
not to visit the naval review was due to the

reason for declining the invitation Saturday
