NEW TOKK. Aug. 4. The resignation
ef Charles M. Schwab as president of the
United Btates Steel corporation was ten
dered and accepted at a meeting of the
directors today. William E. Corey vres
alerted as bis successor.
Mr. Schwab's resignation caused no sur
prise In financial circles, where H had for
some time been foreshadowed. The new
president was for years one of Andrew
Carnegie's ablest lieutenants and is now
president of the Carnegie Steel company,
one of the subsidiary concerns of the
Vnlted States Bleel corporation.' it is
scarcely mora than a month ago that Mr.
Corey was made assistant to the president
because ef Mr. Schwab's continued 111
health.
Mr. Schwab attended today's meeting,
coming to town. It was aaid. for that pur
pose. He appeared to be In good health
and spirits and seemed rather glad to be
relieved of the duties Imposed on the chief
executive of the "billion dollar" corpora
tion. Before and after today's meeting Mr.
Bchwab conferred with J. P. Morgan.
Mr. Bchwab will continue as a director
of the corporation and a member of the
finance committee.
Farsaal Aanonneesscnt Mad.
Formal announcement of Mr. Schwab's
resignation was made as follows:
At the regular meeting of the directors
of the United Plates Steel corporation, air.
bchwab. In consequence of continued ill
heal in. tendered his resignation us presi
dent and it was accepted. W. E Corey,
who has been for some time perforeJng
the active duties of the president, - was
elected to the vacancy.
The office of chairman of the board of
directors was created and K. H. Gary was
elected to that position and will continue to
devote bis entile lime to the business cf
the corporation. An advisory committee,
to consist of three director besides the
president, to consider and mske recom
mendations concerning manufacturing,
transportation and operation, was created,
and & C. Converse. W. M. Kndenborn hnd
II. C. Reid were elected as members of this
committee.
Mr. Schwab will continue to be a mem
ber of the board of directors and of the
finance committee. '
The foregoing statement, given out y
Chairman Gary, was supplemented by the
following .from H, C. Trick: . .,
Several raoriths-sgo'Mr. Schwab told me
he would like to be relieved of the presi
dency of the steel corporation on account
cf bis continued in health and .asked me
to assist in so arranging. The matter was
mnnd entirely on his reauest. Mr
Corey, who succeeds him, has been edu
cated on the same lines as Mr. Schwa and
has been Ms associate tor twenty years.
1 am euie his election will give general sat
isfaction to all concerned.
Schwab) Heart ma ds Pasters.
Immediately after the election of his suc
cessor. Mr. Bchwab met the press repre
sentatives, to whom he made this Informal
statement: ,
I want te ssy that I think I have been
treated unfairly by the nea-spapers in re
gard to the reasons for my retirement. A
number of reasons. Including this American
Ship Building matter, bave been given for
tt hut none of them la true. As a matter
of fact the ship building question ha a never
ieen a suojex i oi uiiw- uMtun vnwwu uij -elf
and the directors.
On my return from Europe six months
ago I tried to get Mr. Morgsn and the di
rectors to accept mv resignation, but wss
unable to do so. That does not loos, as
though 1 had been forced out. ller I
appealed to Mr. Prick and through him
nave finally succeeded In Inducing the di
rectors to accept my resignation. 1 am aa
deeply Interested In the Lnlted States Steel
corporation as ever. I am the largest stock
holder and remain a director and a mem
ber of the executive committee. The new
president Is a close friend and has suc
ceeded me in all the offices I have held.
My retirement is on account of ill health,
nervousness. 1 have been in bad health
tor six months or more.
J. P. Morejaa Laada Schwab).
J. P. Morgan made a statement as fol
lows: I deeply res-ret that Mr. Schwab's health
renders It Impossible for him to continue at
the bead cf the ateei corporation. Mia loy
alty cannot be doutitcid. and from lie earlier
days he gave to ita formation, unification 1
and development hts unequalled powers as
an expert in the manufacture of steel.
1 consider that in Mr. Corey the directors
have secured an eminently competent sue- ',
cessor to Mr. bchwab, and 1 am confident
that the future will prove this to be the
case. In fact I think that today the steel
company In all Its branches Is Intrinsically
tn a stronger and better position than It has
ever been.
The new president has entered on his
duties and It may be authoritatively said
that with bis election the steel corporation
has begun a new policy. There will be less
centralisation cf power and Increased re
sponsibility In the work of the various com
mittee. President Corey win devote his entire at
tention to the practical and technical sides
of the steel and Iron industry and will re
ceive material aid from the advisory com
mittee, whose members are specially well
qualified to art In that capacity.
No other Important . changes were an
nounced In the personnel or policy of the
corporation. Mr. Frlck continues as a mem
ber of the finance committee, of which
George W. Perkins Is chairman.

Lord Curxon said he was fully sware of
the strain on his health and spirits and the
fact that only two viceroys In the last fifty
years hsd staid in office beyond five years.
This, however, was too short s term for a
government which has embaraced wide

CHICAGO. Aug. C-Trainmen and con
ductors employed by the Rock Island rail
road have voted to strike unless the road
pays the increases in wages that they have
demanded. Their determination will be
made known to the officers of the company
tomorrow, when committees representing
the conductors and trainmen will wait on
them.
These committees will tell the officers of
the railroad company the result of the
referendum vote that has been taken on the
question of a strike snd will ask the officers
to meet their demands. In case of a flat
refusal the committees will adjourn and
prepare to call a strike of the tow trainmen
and conductors employed by the road.
National officers of the two employes'
organizations are In Chicago tonight and
are doing their best to prevent a rupture.
The dispute is over the new agreement
presented by the conductors and trainmen
early this year. This provided for an In
crease of m per cent In wages for men

for those In the freight service.

FORESEE AMERICAN SUGAR
British Lealslatora Think Talted

LONDON. Aug. 4. While the House of
Commons waa In committee on the sugar
bill convention today a question rose aa to
whether the importation of bounty-fed
sugar should be prohibited or eourilervsll
tng duties imposed, -
Many of the liberal members referred to
the American Imports, now insignificant,
suggesting they increase If the price of
sugar rose. It was pointed out that the
prohibition of sugar from the T'nited States
would be a violation of the most favored
nation clause.
. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 Secretary
War Root has addressed a communication
to the Merchant Bridge company, a large
bridge across the Mississippi river at St.
Louis, asking the company to show cause
why the t'nited States should not take pos
session of the bridge under the statute
which provided for Its construction.
Under the law the secretary of war can
take possession of the bridge without legal
proceedings of any kind, if any of three
things happen, namely. If the bridge com
pany consolidates with any other bridge
company; If the company pools Ita earnings
with any other company; if the same offi
cers of any other company become officers
of the Merchants Bridge company.
In the allegations presented to the secre
taiy of war it is declared that leases made
by the Merchants Bridge company consti
tute a consolidation with another company.
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Aug. 4. It Is charged
that the St. Louis Terminal association,
part of whose property Is In the Eads
bridge also controlled the Merchants bridge
and Its facilities, as well as most of the
railroad termonals of St. Louis.
At present there is a bill before" the SL
Louis municipal assembly granting the
terminal association certain privileges In
the atreets of the city. In order to facili
tate the handling of World's fair crowds
and for panaanaat Improvements.
The measure Is now In cosamiUea, pend
ing: the asked-for repeal by Um terminal
association of the so-called "bridge arbi

that the control of the Merchants' bridge
had paased to the terminal association con

the McCagje block, this city. The bids
were opened In the presence of Captain
H. E. Palmer, member of the National
Board cf Soldiers' Homes, and the repre
sentative of the national board from this
district.
There were eight bidders, representing
all sections of the cowntry. three of them
being from Omaha. The plans and speci
fications are very long and minute In de
tail and the successful bidder cannot be
determined until today, because of the
Immense amount of details to be consid
ered. Major A. O. Hull cf Iowa has been se
lected as superintendent of the new home
or sanitartum-
Among other members of the national

soldiers' homes once eath year.
The Battle Mountain sanitarium at Hot
Springs. S. V., owes its Inception very
largely to four years indefatigable work on
the part of Captain H. K. Palmer of
Omaha.
"it has been a day very trying on my
nerves," said Captain Palmer last even
ing, "for we hope the bids will come with
in the appropriation fear the new sanitar
ium. For this reason it has required some
time to figure out the bids closely, be
cause cf the multiplicity of details In the
specifications. When completed the home
will be eligible for all volunteer disabled
soldiers cf the civil, Spanish-American and
Philippine wars. There are now upwards
of four hundred sick veterans tn the va
rious national homes that are in urgent
need of the medical attendance that can
only be given them at the Hot Springs san
itarium. I will Join the national board at

He said that a few minutes before the kill

not remember seeing anyone else at the

NEW YORK. Aug. 4. Congressman Lit
is uer has made the following statement:
I am of course surprised and disappointed
st the decistoji of-the secretary of war that
there may exist even a prima facie case of
violation of statute. The decision only cre
ates an Inquiry aa to whether technical vio
lation of law has been committed and re
moves from the caae entirely any sugges
tion of dishonesty or dishonorable avUcm
on my part, and of any Improper use of
my Influence as a congressman in regard
to uiv e-love contracts.
If, ss the secretary says, "there is no
doubt that a manufacturing firm, one mem
ber of which happens to Te a member of
congress, has a rig lit to manufacture and
sell goods to Jobbers who are filling gov
ernment contracts, and that they do not
come within the prohibition of the statute
so long as the contract between the nrm
and the Jobber Is a separate snd distinct
transaction from the contrsot between the
jobber and the government.'" 1 fajl to see
and I am sure the community mill fail to
see how even a technical or legal violation
of any ststute or of any code of moral or
commercial propriety or any invidious crlt
f torn or oetisure can be founded on this
transaction.

The defense today offered affidavits for
a cor.tlr.usncc, supported by a plea In abate
ment to go behind the records of the legis
lature that ur.aeated W. 8. Taylor as gov
ernor In favor of Goebel. It was on this
authority that tbe court of appeals held the

The price of beer is advancing In Omaha,
At least Martin Ceavars or Millard, who
traded the result of four years' hard work
on a farm for a single schooner, thinks so.
Ceavars came to this city -yesterday
morning from Calgary, Canada, where he
had gone -in search of land. He had a
large roll of money In his pocket, and while
wandering about the streets looking at tbe
high buildings he was accosted by a gen-
j tlemanly Individual who spoke of the
weather and other minor matters, until an
acquaintanos was established. After trav
eling In company for some time the
stranger wanted to know If Ceavars would
buy a team If It waa offered at a very
reasonable price. Tbe man from Millard
thought he would, and he was led to room
S at 5ul South Thirteenth street to see the
man who owned the horses. After the
matter had been talked over at some length
with two men who were In the room when
Ceavars and his companion arrived. It was
proposed that a few of the fleeting hours
be passed by engaging In a poker game.
Ceavars and his companlion were will
ing and the cards were dealt.
Prior to tbe beginning of the game It
wks agreed between Ceavars and his new ,
acquaintance that should any money be
won they were to divide, and In case a loss
should occur It should likewise lie divided,
but Ceavars was to furnish the capital
owing to the fart that the newly made
friend had left his purse at home. The
first pot was a stiff one. Ceavars drew
two aces snd a pair of lacks. He bet t''M.
and one of rhe other parties, who had put
chips on the table in lieu of money to bal
ance the bet. showed down, three sevens.
Ceavars thought he bsd had enongh poker
for one day snd he snd his companion went
out to get the money st the bank to make
his part of the loss good. They repaired
to the Turf exchange, where a glass of beer
was purchased by the friend, who then told
Ceavars to wait a few moments while he
went out to get the cash. I'p to the time
of Ceavars' departure several hours after
ward the friend hsd not returned, and
Ceavars went to the station to tell his trou
bles to the police.
When questioned at the station as to
why he bet so. much money on one hand he
said he thought he had good enough cards
to win.
The election of Cardinal Barto as pope,
under the tltH of Pius X, Is considered In
Catholic clerical circles In Omaha as the
ascendency of tbe spirit of friendliness be
tween the Vatican and the Quirinal, which
will In time bring about a complete under
standing between the church and the Ita.1
Ian government. Speaking of the matter,
Rev. A. M. Colaneri, chancellor of the dio
cese of Omaha, who Is an Italian and very
familiar with the situation, said:
"In the election of Cardinal Barto the
political atmosphere of Rome may be ex
pected to clear. He comes from the north
of Italy, a Milanese, I believe, and In the
northern provinces there Is not that spirit
of hatred of the government which pre
vails in tbe southern part of the country.
Once before the cardinal made peace where
trouble waa expected. When the patriarch-
late of Venice was vacant the king of
Italy claimed the right to nominate .n
ecclesiastic for tbe vacant chair, but this
was opposed by the pope on the grounds
that Venice, never having been a part of
Italy until after the revolution tinder he
house of Savoy, the rules of the kingdom
could not claim tbe right which they are
permitted to exercise in towns Uka Turin,
which hare aJwwra been parts of lh king
dom. Tbe government waa at Crst inclined
to causa trouble, but the appointment of
Cardinal Barto to that place settled alt the
trouble, because he waa a personal friend
of King Humbert, tbe father of tbe present
king.
Mere Liberal Than Leo.
"It can be believed that the policy of
Pius X will be even more liberal in the
matter of the Italian situation than thst of
Leo XIII, but even under the late pope
matters had progressed further than many
knew ar-d there had been conferences be
tween persons high In position at both the
Vatican, and Quirinal. and the present pope
probably will be more in favor of a com-
i plete understanding.
"There is one thing remarkable about the
selection of the name of the present pope,
for with that every other pope since 1S00
has been known as Plua Tbe century
opened with Pius Vn In the chair of St.
Peter. He was followed by Leo XI L and
he by Pius VIII. The next pope was Greg
ory XVI. and then came Pius IX, followed
by Leo XIII, who Is succeeded by Plus X."
With tbe election of the pope all of the
prayers which have been said at every ce.e
bratlon of the mass for divine assistance
In the selection of the pontiff have been
stopped. The only notice which will be
taken of the election in the service of the
church generally will be the singing of the
Te Deum at the end of each mass cele
brated next Sunday.

PARIS, Aug. 4. The election of Cardinal
Sarto as pope has created a distinctly fa-
ROME. Aug. 4. Tbe conclave, after be
ing in session for four days, today elected
Gluseeppe Sarto. patriarch of Venice, as
pope to succeed Leo XIII. Barto now reigns
at the Vatican as Pius X. Tonight all
Rome is illuminated la hla honor.
His election and the assumption of his
holy office were marked by a striking
demonstration and impressive ceremonies
at the Vatican, which ended only this even
ing. Tomorrow the new pope, clad la his
full pontifical rooes and with all the ritu
alistic ceremony, will receive the members
of the diplomatic corps, the cardinals and
bishops will then offer their official hom
age, this notwithstanding the fact that
twH-e today the cardinals and many high
officials of the Vatican went through a sim
ilar ceremony. The coronation day baa
lnUIUt prevails that it will lake place on August .
Conclave Lasts Till Afternoon.
Although the election was over at 11
this morning and was announced to the
world forty-live minutes later by the ap

sources, the news spreading rapidly among
the officials and causing widespread com

candidr-y, official feeling has been favor
able to one who would continue tbe con
servative policy of the late pope.
Cardinal Ram polls seemed at first to be
the best exponent of that policy, but be

Cardinals Sarto and Di Pietro were re

Rampolla and as likely to share his gen

LONDON, Aug. 4 News of the election
of Cardinal Sarto as pope reached Englsnd
first through an Associated Press dispatch
from New Tork. The Information was com
municated to the Catholic church authori
ties and Mgr. Johnson, who is in charge
cf church affairs here pending the appoint
ment of a successor to Cardinal Vaughan,
aaid:
I am glad the election Is over ar.a the
suspense ended Cardinal Sarto is mldwav
between the older and younger element of
the sacred college, so that he probably has
many useful years to live, te is active
and energetic.
To the Catholics of London the election
was a great surprise. The first question
asked, not only by laymen, but by high
church dignitaries, waa: "Who is Barto?"
Books of reference were quickly bunted
up in order to aacertaln knowledge of the
career of the new pontiff.
This afternoon a cable dispatch was re
ceived at the archbishop's house from the
Kngllsh college at Rome formally announ-
cft.g the fact of Sarto's election. The church
men st Westminster expressed the opinion
that the new pope Is a quiet ecclesiastic
who has not mixed much in politic and
probably will pursue a policy designed to
harmonise conflicting Interests.
The few who sre acquainted with him say
he is highly esteemed by the Italian gov
ernment and waa a close friend of King
Humbert. There was much interest ex
pressed as to what title he would assume.

whether the election was scceptable to

office answered:

has never been active politically

temporarily retain tbelr official suites in
the Vatican, and Cardinal Herro y Es

that the new. pope paid his first visit after
being formally proclaimed pontiff.
The cardinals will remain In Rome for
tomorrow's ceremonies, and should the
coronation be fixed for Sunday they are
not likely to return bom until after that
