In promotions On the contrary, good au-
thority calls it unusual, If not without
precedent.
Almost needless to say, the appearance
of Mr. Morgau's name in the testimony
has been a tidbit in the mouths of those
that love financial scandal for its own
sake, and weapon in the hands of those
that seek to turn every incident like the
smpyards promotion against wealth or any
kind and against the social order in gen.

the name of such house in proceeding

The real facts OF the Connection or j. +.
Morgan & Co. with the shipbuilding COM
pany are authoritatively stated thus: AS
managers of the steel syndicate they held
in trust the stock of the Bethlehem Steel
Company for Mr.. Schwab, who was then
president of the Steele Corporation. They

1t is useless TO deny the evidence or eyes
and ears that public opinion puts the major
part of the discredit OF the transaction upon
Mr.. Schwab All those intimately con-
cerned in the inquiry admit that they are
after him. Toward him the duped are
most resentful. His own attitude in the
mater has not tended to lessen any of these
feelings. Especially in those quarters which
the rest Of society is prone to forget, where
these scandals are discussed as a means to
social and political agitation and unrest,
he, as the English say, ''bulks large" be-
cause his rise, his acts and his decline have
made him familiar there and are excellent
means for agitation. Thus far, too, his
well-wishers have found no better apology
TO offer for him than that, with his admit

large manufacturing plants he ought TO
take practical direction of the shipbuilding
