CARNEGIE CALLS 1T SAD.
Refuses to Discuss Probable Sue
cessOr to Mr. COrey.

officials of the United States Steel Corporation
would not discuss yesterday the possibility OF
the retirement of President Corey because OF
his disturbed domestic relations The general
belief. however. among we'll informed steel men
is that if Mr.. Corey does not resign voluntarily,
such pressure will be brought to bear that he
will have to leave the company. If he married
Mabelle Gilman, he would be forced out as
Schwab was it was said.
An effort would be made, it was said yester-
day, to have H c. Frck succeed Mr.. Corey.
His long experience in all branches of the iron
and steel industry and his familiarity with
financial operations would make him unusually
well fitted for the place Thomas Morrison,
cousin of Andrew Carnegie, also mentioned
for the place.
Charles NJ. Schwab, who resigned the presi-
dency of the United States Steel Corporation,
upon his return from European trip which in
Guided a visit to Monte Carlo, was seen at the
WaIdorf-Astoria yesterday, just he was
leaving the newsstand which he had scanned
with obvious interest the headlines of after
noon paper. announcing that Andrew Carnegie
was favoring the selection of his cousin, Thomas
Morrison as Mr. Corey's succe ssor.
Mr. Schwab declined to discuss Mr.. Corey, but
of Mr.. Morrison he said:
He is one of my oldest and closest friends. He
was SUPERINTENDENT of the DuqueSne works or
the Carnegle company Wnen was us presluelII.
He is an able mana practical steel man-none
better in the world
Mr. Corey is one of my old friends. and my
relations with him have been even closer than
with Mr. Morrison.
Andrew Carnegie when asked to discuss Mr..
Corey and his present embarrassments, said:
Not word to say. 1t is all too sad to
speak Of.
Are you pushing your cousin, Mr.. Morrison
for Mr. Corey's placer" was asked.
'Mr Morrison" replied Mr.. Carnegie doesn't
need any pushing. If the company wants him 1t
will have to do the pushing to get him

NEW CHICAGO THEATRICAL PLAN.
Big Productions To Be Produced Simultane-
ously There and in This City

Chicago, Dec. S.-Harry ]. Powers, the Chicago
theatrical manager announces that he has arranged
with Henry B. Harris, of New-York for special
company to produce in this city "The Lion and the
Mouse" Miss Margaret Ellington has been en-
gagged to play the leading role and negotiations are
pending with we'll known actors and actresses
pared in the expectation that the play will make
sufficiently long in Chicago to justify the plans
for the production of this and other English, French
and New-York successes simultaneously in this
city and the East, instead of waiting until the end
of run of a successful play at New-York, and
then bringing it West for a limited season.
Mr.. Powers contends that presenting plays stimuli
taneously in this city with their production in
New-York will result in approximately equal pat
ronage and length of at New-York.
