Clemson as president of the Company, was an- nounced President Clemson resigned simuiiaveously with Vice President A B. Waivio, of the same company. Their resignations take eff:ct the first of the year. It is understood he will assume another office in the steel concern. Daniel M. Clemson is one of the Car- negie junior partpers, and for a long time has been active in the operating de- partment of the Carnegie Steel Company aod its former allied interests. His friends look for him to take a step higher in the corporation management, but what that will be, is not definitely deter- mined. Daring the early portion of this year Mr. Clemson purchased the former handsome home of Charles M Se hwab, the Vandergrift property in Fifth avenue, and is occupying that place now, Dauviel M.
