Stirs Up Feeling,
THIS admission has stirred up a
tide Of feeling that has tFanscende'f
social bounds and may even affect the
whole business future of the steel
trust president.
The monster corporation Is the most
sensitive trust In the world, II will
be recalled that when CHARLES M.
Schwab was president a report that
he was at the tables OF Monte Carlo
hurt the price of steel stock. brought
rebuke from J p. Morgan and is
supposed to have had much to do
with Mr. Schwabs resignation.
The domestic affairs of MIR. Corey
and the mention of Mabel Gilman, the
actress, as one feature of the dscord,
has started buzZlng among the di-
rectors of the monster trust, who
realize the dangerous possibilities of
an open scandal on the widely-scat-
tered stockholders.
In Piusburg the sentiment on the
remarkable case Is not disguised.
MIR. Corey, if you divorce Mrs.
Corey and marry that actress my
doors will be closed to you forever
This Is final"
