GARY NOT
TO RESIGN
NOW STORY
BY BoERsIANER.

There is no foundation whatever for
the published suggestion that my re-
tirement from the position of chairman
of the board of director of the United
states Steel Coronation is or has been
under consideration. There is perfect
harmony in the entire working organi-
zation, In the finance, committee and in
the board of directors"
This is the statement issued early
yesterday by Z. II. Gary. Late in the
day, after the directory had met. an
official announcement from the company

The directors of the United States
Steel Corporation organized this after
noon by re-electing the former officials.

O'Clock before they had closed their in
vestigation which is said to be OF a sem
sationaI nature and many startling dis

this but other evidence was produced it
lis said, against Price that viii cause

The charges against Captain Newman
by Price wherein the former is said to
have shown favoritism among the at
torneys fell fat. and after a lengthy in
vestigation Prices charges could not be
co-roborated and the police official was
completely exonerated. Both Attorney
Price and Captain Newman placed their
evidence before the members of the
board and every phase of the charges
was gone over and investigated.
Secretary E. NJ White is preparing a
resolution today which will be present
