Planks were accordingly laid about
eight feet south OF the site Of the

track was built on the planks and the

were run on this track and the rock
dumped over TO the north side by the
tons. When the water was reached
the tactics were changed. Men were
put TO work filling bags with sand,
these were placed at intervals as piers

OF Insurance and Brokerage Conn

Free ON His Yacht.
One Of the startling revelations re-
sulting from the three days illness Of
/ Pierpont Morgan when he was re.
Gently confined to his home with cold
was that lie is constantly guarded BY
three sets Of detectives, says the New
York Evening World. That some of
these are in the employ Of persons who
are anxious that the great trust build

canoe to his absence from Wall street

ton of the stock market by the raid.

mOmentous would mean the loss of
millions to SPECTATORS His return to
his Office in this case was coincident
with Il check in the bear raids.
First Of the detectives who watch
Morgan are those of his private bureau
and the police. At his Wall street of
fee in New York former roundsman.
who is stalwart, good natured man,
is in personal charge From two to a
dozen men are in his command in front
Of the office or across the street at the
corner Of Broad and Wall.
Next are the life insurance detectives
representing companies who carry
large policies on Mr.. Morgan's life for
spectators all over the world. 1t Is Of
INN ne fo l. hn
ton Of the financier's health at all
times that they may regulate the rates
charged for additional policies applied
for. Not even the king of England has
more speculative insurance on his life
than has Mr.. Morgan.
These two classes Mr.. Morgan does
not object to, but the third he heartily
dislikes. These are in the employ Of
market spectators. For protection
against them as much as for safety
from other dangers he has his own
guards. The watchfulness of these
men, who must keep the spectators
fully aware of his every move and Of
his health, Is a continual source Of irri-
tatiOn to him.
Not long ago when a runaway team
came near colliding with the cab in
which Mr.. Morgan was driving the in
cident was known within minute in
many quarters Of the city Of New York.
Newspapers received tips of the escape
the financier had had, and there was a
scurrying In all directions of men who
had to report quickly to their employ
ers
Such things are naturally irritating
to the trust builder, and it is with
great relief that he boards his yacht,
which lie In fact the only place where |,
be can have the absolute seclusion he
wishes. And even from this retreat |
information frequently comes ashore |
In way that proves what complete |
system Of espionage is maintained !
about him.
Mr.. Morgan's illness Of few days |
ago was not serious, but every minute |
Of the days when he stayed at home |
reports were being sent to many places
Of his condition.
Another annoyance resulting from /
this system Is the constant tempting of
Mr.. Morgan's servants with brides.
This makes it difficult for him to be
certain Of immunity in his home, for
who have been with him for
years now and then come under suspi-
lion. Well paid as they are. the temp
ations are sometimes irresistible, for
he employers Of the detectives, espe-
tally those of the third class, must
lave accurate information whatever
he cost.
