bition to go to Dartmouth College,
Levi P. Morton entered a country
store at Enfield, Mass, where he
worked until he had enough money to
start modest establishment of his
own, at Hanover, N. H In 1849, at
the age of twenty-five, he came to
Boston and became a partner in a
small dry goods house. Five years
later he went to New York, where he
joined dry goods firm.
He failed a few years before the
outbreak of the civil war, but imme-
diately started banking business, ap-
preciating that the rebellion would
mean a great demand for financiers
to handle the government loans. Mr..
Morton founded the banking house of
Morton, Bliss & Co. in New York and
Morton, Rose G Co., in London, and
dealt largely in government bonds.
Just before the close of the war,
when he had accumulated fortune,
Mr.. Morton gave dinner to the cred
itors of his former dry goods firm.
Every one found under his plate a
check for the amount still owing to
him, with interest Mr.. Morton's first
essay in politics was in 1878, when
he was elected to congress from a
New York district He might have
been president if his loyalty to the
wishes of Senator Roscoe Conkling
had not made him refuse the nomi-
nation for vice president on the
ticket headed by James A. Garfield in
1880.
President Garfield made him min

IS IS YEARS OLD SUNDAY
Levi p. Morton Is the Oldest Living
ex-Vice President of the United
States-History of His Life.
cHerald Specially


New York, May 15.-Still fresh anC
vigorous in mind and sound in body
Levi P. Morton, the oldest living eX
vice president of the United States,
viii celebrate his eighty-fifth birthday
anniversary tomorrow. Beside Mr.
Morton there are now living only
three other men who have held the
position of vice president of the Unit
ed States, Adlai E. Stevenson, Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Charles w. Fair
banks Not only is Mr. Morton by far
the oldest among his surviving col
leagues, but, with one exception, he
, has already attained greater age
than any other former vice president.
The only exception was John Adams,
the first vice president of the United
States, who died in 1926 at the ripe
age of 80 years.
While Mr.. Stevenson has reached
the age of seventy four, the other two
surviving colIeages of Mr.. Morton are
still comparatively young men, Mr..
Roosevelt being 81, Mr. Fairbanks 81
years old. OF his predecessors who
have joined the silent army only John
Adams lived to be older than Mr..
Morton is now. Thomas Jefferson
died at the age of SO, Hannibal Ham
lin at the age of 81 and Aaron Burr
at the age of so. The latter holds the
record in one respect, however, among
the deceased former vice presidents;
he survived the end of his term of of
flee by thirty-one years, longer pc
Rod than shows the record of any
other of the deceased former holders
of that office. Mr. Morton will have
to live until he is 100 years old to
surpass Burr's record.
Levi P. Morton is a New Englander |
and the descendant of family of
clergymen. 1t may be due to a great
extent to that fact that he has re-
tanned his health and vitality to such |
remarkable degree. His family was
founded in America by the Rev. Geo.
Morton, one of the conspicuous mem
bers of the Pilgrim colony of Eng
land. He was the financial agent of
the Pilgrims and raised and con-
served the funds which fitted out the
expedition on the Mayflower, although
he was not passenger on the initial
voyage. He arrived in America in
1923.
Levi P. Morton may have inherited
his taste for finance from that treas
urer of the Pilgrim band His father
was a Congregational clergyman, Rev.
Daniel o. Morton, still remembered in
Mass, and in Shoreham,
VT. The father of Levi P. Morton
lived in Shoreham when his son was
born, May 16, 1924 Before the boy
had obtained his meager education
the minister removed to Winchendon.
There the future vice president was
wont on Sunday mornings to ring the
bell to summon his fathers congrega-
ton to service, and he also acted as
sexton of the edifice. In that church
there is now memorial window given
by Levi P. Morton to commemorate
the services of his father.
When, at the age of sixteen years,
he saw no hope of realizing his am

MADE PUBLIC BY PRESIDENT
Details Of Tiitman's Alleged connec-
ton With "Land Grab"

Washington, Jan. 9.-President
Roosevelt has made public the details
Of an investigation by postof1ce in
spectors and secret service agents of
Senator Tillman's connection with an
alleged "land grab" in Oregon. AS
he presents the evidence to Senator
Hale, in response to the latter's re-
quest to the heads of the various ex-
ecutive departments for q statement
Of the operations of the secret service,
the president undertakes to show:
That Mr.. Tillman used his influence
as senator in an effort to force the
government to compel q railroad cor
poration to relinquish its control of
land grants from the United States in
order that he and his family and his
secretary, J. B. Knight, might profit
through the purchase of some Of the
land. :.
That the senator used his govern
ment franking privilege in numerous
instances for the conduct of private
business.
The communication to Senator Hale
Is nearly 5000 words long, and in ad-
dition there is appended numerous ex-
hibits, including copies of letters writ
ten by Senator Tillman and his agent,
William E. Lee, showing that they
did make an effort to secure several
quarter sections of the Oregon land,
and the reports of the postof1ice in
spectors who investigated the trans
actions of the land agents. It was
through this Investigation that the
alleged interest of Senator Tillman
was brought to light, and, fatefully, it
appears that it was at his instigation
the inquiry was begun.
