SCHWAB TO QUIT BUSINESS.

Will Retire Indefinitely and Go Abroad ton Account of His Health. A Loretto, Pa., special to the Pittsburg Dispatch says: President Charles M. Schwab of the United States Steel Cor-

poration has accepted the advice of his physician and decided to retire indefinitely from an active business life. He will leave America to seek some quiet nook in a foreign clime, where not an echo of the strenuous I’fe be has led can reach him. This in-

formation is authentic. Dr. Golden never leaves the Schwab home and the exact nature of his patient’s illness cannot be learned through him. “Mr. Schwab is not confined to his bed, but spends much of his time on the wide veranda, which affords fresh air and a sweeping view of the mountain slope. He is always with his wife or his parents. The strange part of Mr. Schwab’s illness is that he is always within view of those who call at his house, yet he will not allow any person to approach him.

C. M. SCHWAB.
