WILL OPPOSE ROOSEVELT.
HierpOnt Morgan Says the Presi-
dent Must Be Defeated for
denominations
DECLARES he IS An UNSAFE MAN.
Since His Return from Paris the Finsncier
Has Been Outspoken In His Opposition
90 Mr. Would Form an Al
lance with Democratic to Encompass
> His Defeat

Washington, Sept. 23.-Dcfeated in
his efforts to prevent the New York
republicans from indorsing President
Roosevelt, it is now the announced
determination of j. Pierpont Morgan
to defeat the nomination of Mr..
Roosevelt for president in 1904. If
he fails to accomplish his purpose by
securing the defeat of Mr.. Roose-
welt in the republican convention,
he will try to secure the nomination
by the democrats of Grover Cleve-
land, or some democrat of that
school, and will throw him his sup
poryand that of the interests he rep
rejknts. This is the plan to punish
NJ. Roosevelt for his antitrust pol
ik. This is stated on the authority
At friend of Mr., Morgan, n man
fwho stands high in politics and H.
nance, who says that Mr., Morgan
made this deliberate statement to
him: "He must be defeated for nom
ination and safe man must be NOM
mated in his stead. If he cannot he
defeated for nomination, then we
must see that the democrats NOM
mate safe man like Cleveland,
whom the business interests can
support, and beat Roosevelt at the
polls"
The presidents speeches in New
England are not the primary cause
of Morgan's opposition. The great
financier's irritation was begun near
ly q year ago. That was when Pres
ident Roosevelt directed Attorney
General Knox TO begin proceedings
against the Northern Pacific merger
under the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Morgan was much provoked at
the attitude of the president NJ that
time, and he has nCvcr trrUnTr rUrUU-
| ciled to the presidents determine
Nion to enforce the law without re-
Ard to individuals or combinations
oNindividuals. He did not like the
presidents declaration that no man
should stand above the law.
Since his return from Europe Mr..
Morgan has been more outspokcn
in his opposition to the president
than ever before. In Paris he was
received by the president of France,
in Berlin by the emperor of Ger
many, and in London by the king of
England. He returned home, it is
said, with new and exaggerated ideas
of his Importance as the information
al dictator in finance, and he thought
some kind of ovcrturcs should be
made to him by the president on his
return to the United States. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, however, treated Mr.
Morgan as only one Of the 75,OoO,OOC
of American people.

H. J. LEWIS, PROMINENT OYSTER
 MERCHANT.

Meriden, Jan 12.--Henry James Lew is, son of the late Isaac c. Lewis, and
 a former resident of Meriden, died at
 1 o'clock Saturday morning at his home in Stratford, Conn, after an illness Of only three or four days with heart trouble.
 Word was received by relatives here Wednesday that he was ill and Mrs. Chapin, his sister, went to see him and was with him when death came. Heart trouble was the real cause of his death.
 A specialist from New York had been
 in attendance and early on Friday mo- tified Mir. Lewis relatives that he could not live. All that skill and energy could do to ward off the dread messen- ger was done, but without avail. MT. Lewis was born in Meriden about sixty years ago and lived here until bout twenty-two years ago. For seV7
 eral years before leaving town he was A member of the firm of GrisWold X Lewis, now the Griswold- Richmond x 1 Clock concern, being partner Of N,
 F. Griswold the founder of the well
 known house From here he removed to | Stratford where he became interested l in the oyster growing business. and for
 the past few years had been accredited with having the largest acreage of land | devoted to that business of any oyster grower along the sound, having about f 10000 acres.
 Mir. Lewis was also reputed to be the largest oyster grower in the United | States
 Tn addition to that he owned large
 interests in local industries and was re-
 puted to be worth million dollars He
 was a. large stocl1holder in the lnterna-
 tional Silver company and also a di-
 rector of the company. He owned stock
 in the Meriden National bank, the Mer- 1 ident Trust and Safe Deposit company, | of which he was a director; the Meri- den Cemetery association, the Horton Printing company being president of | it. and stockhkolder and director | of F. Miller &, Co.
 1 e MT. Lewis was also stockhkolder in
 the Chapman Manufacturing company, | now in the hands of a receiver Mir. Lewis came to Meriden frequent | ly to look after his large interests here which were greatly augmented on the l death of his father about nine years
 ago. He was brother of Mrs. Kate | A. L. Chapin and Mrs. c. H. Fales of | this city Mrs Fales is confined by ill-
 ness to her home on East Main street
 and was unable to be with him at the l time of his death.
 MT. Lewis was married about seven- teen years ago to Miss May Stringer
 of Long Island and had four children, l Henry Leroy, Helen Majorie, Kate May
 and Isaac Chauncey, all of whom sur | vive him.
 News of MT. Lewis death came to- l day as a shock to his many friends in | Meriden who were wholly unprepared for the event owing to his illness being
 of such short duration
 l Funeral services will be held at the
 house in Stratford Tuesday morning at 1 10:30, Revs. C. F. Stinson and r. A. Dillingham; officiating.
 The remains will be put on board a train soon after the services and brought to Meriden, arriving here at
 2:11, and will be taken at once to Wal
 nut Grove cemetery, where they will be 1 placed in the Lewis mausoleum.
 Rev pr. Perkins will officiate at the 1 committal services here.
