J.P. MORGAN PATRIOT.
he Had No Desire to Make a Cent
on the Bond Deal.

New York, June 20.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan was before the senate bond inves
tigating committee today to be exam
med as TO what he knew regarding gov
ernment bond issues of the last three
years. His examination related mainly
to the issue OF last year, the whole
of which was subscribed by the Nor
gan Belmont syndicate. No facts not
already known to the public were elicit
ed. Mr. Morgan refused to tell what
the profits Of the syndicate were, TAX
ing the ground that thas was a private
matter into which the committee had
no right to inquire.
John w Stewart. president of the
United States Trust company, was also
examined, particularly as to the pOp's-
lar loan Of his year. Both Mr. Stew
art and Mr.. Morgan said they engaged
in the bond subscriptions more from
patriotic motives than from a desire to
profit by the transactions
Conrad N Jordan, assistant United
States treasurer in this city, said the
tender of VIM. Graves, who sued to
have his bonds allotted to him, was
irregular and all talk, and for that rea-
son he declined to deal with him.
Mr.. Graves questioned Mr.. Jordan
and elected the admission that he
might have asked him (JOrdan) 70
make his bid a special" as had been
done in other cases.
Cashier Chaplin of the Third National
bank of this city, President Woodward
of the Hanover National bank, whose
banks were involved in Graves charges
make explicit denials. Graves was
recalled and questioned sharply by
Senator Harris. He finally admitted
that there were Irregularities in his
tender. Senator Harris, speaking for
himself, here announced that he was
convinced that Graves tender was not
in accord with the rules of the
treasury. Harlan Whipple of the New
York Security and Trust company also
denied Graves charge, but admitted
telling him he would be looked after if
he kept quiet
He explained this by saying he dis
liked newspaper nOtoriety and did not
want to be entangled in the matter.
He said Graves deal fell through be-
cause Graves was unable to purchase
the bonds he bid for. He intimated
that there was a lack of sincerity to

with ease. There are 3, 600 of them who
have been assigned to the work, and
their working forces have been carefully
drilled and perfectly organized. At the
head Of the entertainment committee is
Miles NJ Shand, who as chairman has
done much toward organizing the ma
chinery which is to be used for the com
fort Of the delegates.
The work of preparing for the con-
venti0n has been going on steadily since
last March, and much has been accom-
plished Not only the Endeavorers, but
Neutrality-suspicious. in general, are enthusi-
astic over the plan to extend to the dele

The churches and business houses viii

Nearly all the churches in the city

from the four quarters Of the earth.
Some Of them are already on the way.
The first one to start was an enthusi-
astic member whose home is in South
/ Africa.
Christian Endeavor conventions are
always interesting not only from re-
ligious standpoint, but in other aspects.
There is a good deal that is spectacular
in the gathering of SO many young men
and women, all in holiday attire, with
gayly co1ored badges huttering in the
wind, and there is much that is dra-
matte when thousands of them lift their
voices in some such inspiring hymn as
Gathering In the Sheaves. All these
delegates seem to possess the earnestness
inspired by g great cause supported by
the enthusiasm of youth.
For months this enthusiasm has been
gathering force. At the meetings of ev-
cry local society throughout the land the
catch phrase of ION to Washington
has been repeated with telling effect. 1t
has been shouted in the convention raj
lies at which new recruits to the mass
of delegates have been enrolled and it
has even been set to music, and will be
sung all the way to the national capital
by many of the delegations. The En-
deavcTers are enthusiastic and persistent
singers. From the time they take the
cars, when they Join the Endeavorers
who regretfully remain behind in sing
ing God Be With You Till We Meet
Again, - until they return they are sing
ing hymns and EndeavOr songs. They
sing on the trains, to the great amaze
ment of the brakeman and secular trav-
elers; they sing at their hotels, when
viewing points Of interest, while wait
ing for dinner and when the convention
is in session they break forth into song
at frequent intervals.
The Christian EndeavOr conventions
call together probably the greatest num-
Der Of persons of any assemblage of any
sort held in this country, yet such a com
plete system is used by the reception
committees that there is little or no
confusion. AT least there will be none
in Washington this year The system
that has been adopted for this conven-
ton, and which viii probably be used in
the future, is simplicity itself Each
state delegation is assigned to a particu-
lar church which is to be used during
the convention as the headquarters Of
that particular body Of delegates As
each trainload is landed at the railroad
stations the delegation is met by a com
mittee and escorted to its church home
or headquarters. There the delegates
proceed to register. Each one fills out
card stating name, home address, society
and state delegation. Then the delegate
is assigned to hotel or boarding place
and with bags and bundles he or she
is escorted to the temporary home thus
allotted.
Each reception committee has a room
fitted up in a church where the dele
gates may register, receive their mail
and get all sorts Of information about
the city and the convention sessions
As the delegates register they are hand
ed official badges, which viii admit
them to the sessions, also several pam
Phlets containing a great deal Of valu-
able information, including a map Of
the city. By this system it is impossible
