SCHWAB IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT U. S. BUSINESS Continued Prosperity Is Steel Man's Forecast to Manufacturers. Charles M. Schwab, world steel emperor, believes that his and kindred Industrial kingdoms, will continue to grow, and that America generally will prosper, he told the Indiana Manufacturer's Association at the Columbia Club Monday night. "All of us were here before the wave of speculation broke over us ; The wealth of the nation is not on paper, but in the brick and mortar of our factories, in the cars w r e own, and the things we build,” he said. The steel magnate made one Jocular reference to the recent stock market crash. *‘l returned to New York in November,-” he said, “to greet all my friends, the former millionaires.” Scores Law Revision *ln his address, preceding Schwab’s speech, William L. Taylor, formerly state attorney-general, president of the Indiasnapolis Bar Association, attacked a. contemporary movement for a consiitutionad convention to scrap Indiana’s Constitution and supllant it with a modern state foundation. Comparing the state with the federal Constitution, Taylor characterized the farmer as an up-to-date, fundament©! document, standing in no greater need of change today than a .year after it was drawn. Grievances stressed by those favoring the revision, he declared, were not constitutional, but statutory matters. He cited suggested changes in township government, county boundaries and taxation as examples. Ball Toastmaster Frank C. Ball, Monde manufacturer, was toastma filer. Following the meeting Schwab left on his private car for Houston, Tex. At Monday afternoon's business session of the manufacturers, present officers of the organization were re-elected for the ensuing year. They are: C. O. Grafton of the Gill Clay Pot Company, Muncie, president; M. C. Hunt of the National Automatic Tool Company, Richmond, first vice-president; H. C. Stickel of the Vigo American Clay Company, Terre Haute, second vice-president, and I. W. Lemaux of the Indianapolis Brush and Broom Company, treasurer. Refuses to Honor Extradition Governor Harry G. Leslie Monday denied an Illinois extradition for Larry B. Harris of Lafayette. Harris was charged with stopping payment on a check alleged to have been given for premium payments to a Danville (111.) automobile insurance company.

By United Prist KENOSHA, Wis., Dec. 17.—Two explosions in the Wisconsin Oxygen and I'ydrogen Company plant early today killed one man, wrecked the structure and endangered the lives of ten others. A seared body, believed to be that of Joseph Robsel, night watchman, was found dangling from the rafters of the wrecked building. He was the only person known to have been in the building at the time of the first blast, which tore the roof off the plant. The second explosion followed in five minutes when eight firemen and two policemen were about to enter the plant. They were thrown down but not injured. Witnesses said flames which accompanied the explosions, shot 300 feet into the air. Plant officials said the cause of the blast probably never will be known, but assumed one or more small containers of gas had exploded. Broken Neck Causes Death fin United Frets VINCENNES. Ind..
