...asked, four refused. Rector Henry Knox Sherrill of Boston's Trinity Church preferred to stay in Boston. Bishop Edward Makin Cross of Spokane, who was supposed to have relations in Philadelphia who would make that city attractive to him, preferred to stay in Spokane. Rector Russell Bowie of Grace Church, Manhattan, declined next, and then Dean William Scarlett of Christ Church Cathedral, St. Louis.

To elicit contributions they prepared an inventory of Spence's educational assets in terms of the teachers who helped make Spence famous. Miss Grace A.

Three of the old regime teachers will...
Among famed steelmen not at the U. S. Steel meeting was Charles M. Schwab, onetime (1901-03) U. S. Steel president, now board chairman of Bethlehem Steel, second largest steel producer. Chairman Schvvab and President Eugene Gifford Grace had held their stockholders' meeting earlier in the month. President Grace had at that time told Bethlehem stock-holders that Bethlehem's March output was greater than its rated capacity, that (recently resumed) dividends on common should continue uninterruptedly. U. S. & Bethlehem. Great is Bethlehem Steel; greater is U. S. Steel. Bethlehem has a capacity of 7,900,000 ingot...
