TRUST COMPANY MERGER
Three Big Concerns Unite With Re-
sources of $15O,OOO,OOO.

New York, Jan. Al. Pierpont
Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan and Levi
p Morton have linked hands in New
lYerk in a trust company merger,
with united resources of $150,000,-
060. 1t is triple combination bring
ing the Guaranty Trust company, the
Morton Trust company and the Fifth
Avenue Trust company, all of this
city, under one head with the title of
the Guaranty Trust company. The
merger is perhaps the largest of it's
kind in the United States.
Directors of all three companies
met and informally approved the
terms of the merger.
Levi P. Morton, who is president OF
the Morton Trust company and the
Fifth Avenue Trust company-both
known as Morton-Ryan concerns-has
consented to act as chairman of the
board of the merged companies, for
which no president has as yet been
selected. The name of Alexander J.
Hemphill, vice president and acting
president of the Guaranty Trust COM
pany. has been mentioned for the
position, however.
The new move in finance follows
the recent absorption of the Guaranty
Trust company by the so-called Nor
gan interest, but upon just what terms
the merger was made was not dis
closed.
The Guaranty Trust company was
organized in 1891 and has total de-
posts of more than $88,00O.000. The
Morton Trust company, which was
formerly the banking house of Bliss,
Morton & Co., was organized in 1893.
Thomas F. Ryan is vice president. Its
deposits aggregate more than $780,
100000. Like the Guaranty Trust
company it's capital and surplus are
$2,000,000 each. The Fifth Avenue
Trust company, founded ten years
ago, is one of the better known up
town financial institutions With a
capital and surplus of $1,000,000 each
it has paid large dividends in recent
years The capital stock of the new
company will probably be fixed at
$1,000, 900 with perhaps like amount
for surplus. 1t is believed the mer-
ger will involve large stock and cash
dividends to the shareholders of the
three companies.
The present headquarters of the
Fifth Avenue Trust company will be
retained as a branch of the combined
companies while larger offices will
house the combined companies in the
financial district.
1t was rumored the Morgan inter-
ests had acquired the holdings OF
Thomas r. Ryan in the Morton Trust
company. but no statement on this
point was obtainable.

A CERTAIN RICH MAN PAYS.
William Allen Whites Book Promises
to Make Another Rich Man.

" Make AHOtIler tllcD NA<An.
Emporia, Kan, Jan 4.-From the
viewpoint of publishers and book
sellers, William Allen Whites novel.
"A Certain Rich Man." bids fair to
take its place among the phenomenally
best sellers of the past and to lead all
other books fer the year 1909-1910.
On Saturday of last week the total
sales of Mr.. Whites book in the United
States had rea shed $4,000 copies. This
means that the sales will pass the
100000 mark before the coming OF
spring, as the demand continues undi-
minished.
A book must sell about 10000 copies
before it begins to pay anything to the
publishers. The total sales Of $4,000
copies, usually place a book among
the six best sellers. Whites book al
present is one of the six, taking the
country as whole.
In Topeka and in most other cities
in Kansas it leads them all. When
made about $4,000 as his share OF
eventually may go away ahead OF
10000. Five hundred thousand copies
of David Harum were sold when the
book was having its great run. How.
ever, few books have been published
which have sold, as high as David
Harum
The Macmillan company of New
York, which publishes Whites novel
has just completed arrangements fol
issuing editions of the work in Great
Britain and Australia. The book later
may be translated into various foreign
languages.

ST. JOE FANS AXE READY.
Will Begin Whirlwind Campaign fo1
Baseball Fund Thursday.

St. Joseph, No. Jan. 4.-With the
rapid approach of baseball day, Janu-
airy 6, when it is expected that more
than 1850 will be raised to finance the
entry of this city into the Western
League after an absence of five years,
local fans are enthusiastic and not a
doubt is expressed that the full amount
necessary to assure John Holland of
the earnest desire of st. Joseph people
to see legahzed ball will be provided.
Recently at a ball given by the COM
mercial travellers season tickets were
sold to those who would be absent
from the city on baseball day. A little
more than $500 was gained, but no one
who expected to be in the city on jan
uary 6 was permitted to buy at that
time, although had the season and first
game tickets been sold generally pro-
badly one-seventh of the total amount
desired could have been secured then.
Flying squadrons of fans are to can
vass the downtown district next Thurs
day, and the captains of the various
soliciting squads are confident they can
easily cover the average allotted them.
