Morgan Tells Rule

Chicago, Dec. 1O.-"Any man who
is = bear on the future of this country
will go broke"
]. Pierp6nt Morgan, in circle Of
his friends and business associates, at
the Chicago Club yesterday, pointed
TO this sentiment, given to him years
ago by his father, as being the basis
Of his business career and the secret
Of his continued optimism in spite of
DanicS and reTerses.
HE told me" Mr.. Morgan is
quoted as saying TO follow my own
bent in business, but whatever that
business, to work hard. One thing he
said shall always remember-not to
discount the future of America. He
said, There may be times when
things are dark and cloudy in America,
when uncertainty will cause some to
distrust and others to think there is
tCOmuch production, too much develop
ment in other enterprises. In such
times and at all times remember that
the great growth of that vast country
will take care Of ALL
People often charge me with be-
ing too sanguine and that in business
there is entirely too much optimism
in my views, . continued Mr.. Morgan.
Now | cannot be otherwise and I
would not if l could. 1t lis a part and
parcel of me.
Discussing the business outlook for
the future, Mr., Morgan said to his
friends:
The return to the normal is per-
'eptble everywhere and theusual con-
oltIonS of American business, benefit
eaI to all, are coming back, in
steady increasing stream. The i'm
F"ement in this country and the
bright outlook here are having their
effect abroad, too"

ARE HELD FOR MURDER

Special to the Herald
Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 19--What
promises to be one of the most no.
table criminal trials that has taken
place in this section in long time is
scheduled to begin in Media next
Monday. when Mrs. NJ. Florence Erb
and her sister, Mrs. Catherine b. Bel
sci, will be tried for the alleged muir
der of Captain J. Clayton Erb. nus
band of the former Captain Erb was
a well known politician, Pennsylvania
national guardsman and secretary to
Israel w. Durham. the republican
leader of Philadelphia
The alleged murder occurred at the
Erb country home, Red Gables, in
Delaware county, on October 6 last.
Shortly before midnight on that date
a coachman from Red Gables hurried
to the Mountain House, at Lenni, and
notified the proprietor of the place
that CAPTAIN Erb had been shot and
that Mrs. Erb wanted help. Con-
stable Simpson of Rockdale went to
the house and on the strength OF
Statements made by Mrs. Erb and her
sister. Mrs. Beisel, he placed the lat
ter under arrest, charged with muir
der. The revolver with which Cap
tain Erb was shot was found in Mrs.
Beisers dressing room. There had
been bitter quarrel, and it was said
that Mrs. Beisel had fired the shot to
protect her sister Captain Erb was
found lying in the hallway on the
second floor of the house with a bull
let wound in his head.
The Delaware county grand jury
took up the case with the result that
a week ago it returned indictments
against Mrs. Erb and Mrs. Beisel,
charging them jointly and separately
with alleged murder voluntary and in
voluntary manslaughter.
Revelations following the killing of
Captain Erb showed that his relations
with his wife and sister-in-law had
been strained for some time. Before
her marriage to Captain Erb, Mrs.
Erb was Mrs. w. G. Rothermel. d.
vorced woman. Their marriage oc-
Cured about two years ago. For
time thereafter everything went along
smoothly, but for some months prior
to the killing of Captain Erb there
had been a succession of violent fam
ily quarrels. On August "a last Mrs.
Erb caused the arrest of Eugene Poul-
son, Captain Erb's colored coachman,
| on charge of threatening her life.
S At the bearing of the case she said
that she had been informed that Poul-
son was acting as a spy for Captain
Erb, who stood by the coachman at
the hearing, as against his wife. He
subsequently explained that he did so
because he expected to institute pro-
ceedings against Mrs. Erb, and expect
ed Poulson to be an important wit
ness in the case, in which Mrs. Beisel.
Mrs. Erb's sister, also was to be
involved
Captain Brb declared at the hearing
that he had been duped when he
married Mrs. Rothermel, and that her
conduct during his absence from
home last summer had been improper.
Several weeks later Mrs. Erb caused
the arrest of her husband on a charge
of assault and battery, and he was
held for trial The charges were to
have been heard September 80, a
week before the date of the alleged
murder, but were postponed.
