great banker. yachtsman and art con-

Morgan to whom the lesser f1nanciers
turned when the tide of misfortune
and ruin seemed sweeping against
them. 1t was at his mansion and art
gallery that they gathered for confer
enees extending far into the night in
efforts to devise means of reassuring
the public and preventing solvent in
situations from being forced into bank
ruptcy through lack of power to realize
fast enough on their assets to meet the
demands of depositors. When the tide
of mistrust seemed stayed and the
first week of the panic passed without
the serious results to finance and bust
mes that many had feared, 1t was to
Morgan that the chief credit was given.
When the stock market was disturb.
ed last spring Mr. Morgan did not take
any hand in the situation. He left the
Standard Oil coterie to so 1t alone, re-
membering grimly the treatment he
had received at 26 Broadway during
the troubles of four years ago. The
stock flurries of the summer months
did not feaze him in the least He
himself had more cash than stocks,
and it was understood he had prac-
tically given up active work in 'the
