from Mr. Kruse, whose remarkable story

Pittsburg, Dec l1.-New York city
contains too many temptations for
bright young men who attain the po-
sition of president Of the United States
Steel corporation, believe several high
officials of the corporation. For this
reason a movement is on foot to have
the headquarters brought back to Pitts
burg. The reason that will be given
is that the general officers and the
president would keep in closer touch
with affairs at the plants, the most inn
portant Of which are in and around
this city. The financial department
will remain in New York, to be near
the fnanciers who control it's destiny.
No Reconciliation.
According to relatives and friends Of
the Corey family in Pittsburg, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles M. Schwab might as well
devote their time to something else
between William Ellis Corey and his
wife. It is declared here by those who
know that no matter what decision
might be reached by Mr.. Corey, his
wife would positively refuse to enter
tain any suggestions which would tend
to bring the couple together again.
Had the attempt been made prior to

case, there is but little doubt that Mrs.
Corey would have been only too glad
to overlook whatever shortcomings her
husband may have. Now, it is claimed,
1t is too late.
New Head Of Trust.
The prospects Of the selection Of Will
liam B. Schiller, president Of the Ma
tional Tube company, to succeed Corey
are growing brighter every day. Pitts
burg steel men have practically settled
upon him as the coming head Of the
great concern. He has The backing Of
