Glad to Get Out Of Harness, but Says

Unfairly,

New York, Aug. 5.--The resigna ton
of Charles NJ. Schwab, as president
of the United States Steel Corporation,
has been rendered and accepted. Will
lam Il. Corey was unanimously elect
ed his successor. Schwab'S resignation
caused no surprise in financial circles,
where it had for some time been fore
shadowed. The new president was
for years one of Andrew Carnegie's
ableSt lieutenants, and is now preSi-
dent of the Carnegie Steel company.
one of the subsidiary concerns of the
United States Steel Corporation 1t is
scarcely more than Il month ago that
Corey was made assistant to the presi
dent (Schwab), because of the latter's
continued i'll health.
schwab Attended the Meeting.
Schwab attended the meeting Of the
directors, which accepted his resigna-
tion, coming to town, it was said, for
that especial purpose. He appeared
to be i'll good health and spirits. and
seemed rather glad to be relieved of
the duties imposed on the chief ex-
ton. Schwab will continue as a di-
rector of the steel corporation and
member Of its finance committee.
sohwab Complains of the Press.
Immediately after the election of his
successor Schwab met the press repre-
sentatives to whom he made this in
formal statement: Il want to say that
l think have been treated very un-
fairly by the newspapers in regard
to the reasons for my retirement. \
number of reasons, including this
American shipbuilding matter, have
been given for II. but none of them
is true. AS a matter OF fact the ship
building question has never been a
subject of discussion between myself
and the directors.
Has Been Wanting to Resign.
"On my return from Europe six
months ago l tried TO get Mr.. Morgan
and the directors to accept my resig-
nation, but was unable to do so. That
does not look as If l had been forced
out. Later 1 appealed to Mr.. Frick.
and through him have finally succeed
ed in inducing the directors to ac-
cept my resignation. l am as deeply
interested in the United States Steel
Corporation as ever. l am still the
largest stockholder, and remain as di-
rector and member of the executive
committee.

NOT JUST WHAT THEY MIGHT BE

Washington, Aug. 5.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows: Throughout the
northern portions of the country from
New England to the north Pacific coast
the temperature was too low for best
results, light frosts occurring in North
Dakota; but in the southern states it
was more favorable, although clear
and warmer weather is needed in the
west gulf districts. Portions of the
south Atlantic and east gulf states and
the central and lower Mississippi val
leys need rain, but elsewhere east of
the Rocky Mountains rains have been
ample, being excessively heavy in cen
trail and northeastern Texas, IN the
eastern portions of Nebraska and Kan
sas and over areas in the Ohio valley
and east gulf states. 1t is now very
dry in the central and southern Rocky
Mountain districts
Condition of Corn and Wheat.
Corn is greatly improved, especially
in Iowa, Nebras ska, Kansas and pOr-
tions of Illinois and the lake region,
the least favorable reports being re-
ceived from Missouri and the Ohio val
ley states. The crop continues late.
An excellent crop is now assured in
the southern states. ThreShing of win
ter wheat has continued under favor
able conditions, harvesting having been
finished, except in portions of New
York and Michigan and on the Pacific
coast. with disappointing yields. Gen
eral rains in the spring wheat region
of the upper MiSSouris and Red river
of the north valleys checked the
ripening of spring wheat, and caused
better filling of the heads.
Results of the Harvest.
Harvesting is in progress, some of
the early southwestern being cut in the
northern portion, but was delayed by
rains in South Dakota and Nebraska.
Harvesting is also III progress in Ore
gon. with light yield. but of excellent
quality. In Washington the crop is
maturing slowly, but is filling well
Rust in oats is quite extensively re
ported in iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and portions of Pennsylvania, but late

yields generally lighter than antici-
pated.

To this came in reply from thou

In a thrilling voice the pope re-

Then. raising himself to his full
height and leaning forward as much
as possible. he intoned: "Benedicat

called forth such applause that sew
