BANK MERGER GROWS.
Big Money Trust Adds $61, 100000 in
One Day.

New York, Jan. 5.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan and associates may control, through
further trust company mergers in New
York, the enormous sum of $210,000,000
i'll deposits alone.
This is approximately $25,000,O00
more than the deposits of the National
City bank of this city, the largest fnan-
cial institution in the United States.
Reports of additional trust company
consolidation are given credence in
view of yesterdays announcement of
the merger by J. P. Morgan & Co., of
the Guaranty Trust, Morton Trust and
FifthAvenue Trust companies, with
combined deposits of about $3.50, 100000.
This brought a revival in the fnan-
cial district of rumors embracing the
Bankers Trust and the Manhattan
Trust companies in the same combina
tion. There were definite reports that
the Mercantile Trust company and the
Equitable Trust company eventually
would be taken into some sort of a
powerful alliance.
In point of fact, the Bankers Trust
company is closely affiliated with the
sO-called Morgan interests in that two
partners in the Morgan banking house
George w. Perkins and Henry P.
Davison-sit in the directorate of the
former.
Other directors of the Bankers Trust
company, including A. B. Hepburn and
A. H. Wiggin, president and vice-presi-
dent respectively of the Chase National
bank, and William H. Porter, president
of the Chemical National bank, are
active in affairs of the Guaranty Trust
company, which is to be made the
titular head of the Guaranty Morton
Fifth-Avenue consolidation.
Relations between the Morgan inter
ests and the Manhattan Trust company
always have been intimate, though the
latter is not regarded as a Morgan ap-
pendage. 1t is perhaps significant that
the building once occupied by the Man
haitian Trust company is to be razed
soon to make way for 30-story build
ing to be erected by the Bankers Trust
Deposits of the Bankers Trust aggre-
gate $46,500,000 and those of the Man
haitian Trust company $13,400,000, so
that the two companies, if combined
with those now in process of absorp-
ton by "J. P. Morgan & Associates"
would total in deposits more than $780,
000. 900.

ed by congress.
1t directs the secretary to classify
public lands into eight classes, agricul-
tural, irrigable, dry farming, timber,

vides disposition of each class as fol-
lows: Agricultural, by homesteading

nority report on that measure, which

mittee before the holiday recess.

new YORK BANKING
TRUST is FORMED
Composed of J. P. Morgan, TT.
Ryan sad Levi P. Morton.
Biggest Merger of the Age-Has a
Capital of $50, 900, 600, and De-
posts of Over SI33, 3,ooo-IncIud-
es Three Largest Banking and
Trust Companies in New York.

New York, Jan. Al. Pierpont Nor
gan, Thomas F. Ryan and Levi P. Nor
ton linked hands in New York today
in trust company merger which
unites resources Of $150,00O,00O.
1t is triple combination, bringing
the Guaranty Trust company, the Nor
ton Trust company and the Fifth Ave-
nue. Trust company, all of this city,
under one head with the title of the
Guaranty Trust company.
The merger is perhaps the largest of
its kind in the United States. Directors
of all three companies met today and
informally proposed the terms of
merger which will be put in more
definite form Wednesday, when another
directors meeting will be held and the
plan ratified by stockholders. The for
NAL vote will not be taken until later.
Levi p. Morton, president of the
Morton Trust company and of the Fifth
Avenue Trust company-both known
as Morton-Ryan concerns-has con-
sented to act as chairman of the board
of the merged companies No presi-
dent has been selected. Alexander J.
Hemphill, vice-president and acting
president of the Guaranty Trust com
pany, has been mentioned for the posi-
tion.
The new move in finance follows the
recent absorption of the Guaranty
Trust company by the so-called Nor
gan interests, but upon just what terms
the merger was made is not disclosed.
The Guaranty Trust company was or
ganized in 1891 and has total deposits
Of more than $88,000,000.
The Morton Trust company, formerly
the banking house of Bliss, Morton 6
Co., was organized in 1899. Thomas F.
Ryan is ice-president. It's deposits
aggregate more than $45,000,000. Like
the Guaranty Trust company, its capi-
tai and surplus are $2,O00O00 each.
The Fifth Avenue Trust company,
founded ten years ago, is one of the
better known uptown financial insti-
tutions. With capital and surplus
Of $1,000,000 each it has paid large
dividends. The capital stock of the
new company probably will be fixed at
$5,000,000, with perhaps a like amount
for surplus. 1t is believed that the
merger will involve the large stock
and cash dividends to the shareholders
of the three companies.
The present premises of the Fifth
Avenue Trust company will be retained
as a branch of the combined companies
while the main offices will be in the
financial district.
It is rumored that the Morgan in
terests had acquired the holdings of
Thomas F. Ryan in the Morton Trust
company, but no statement on this
point was obtainable.

STRENUOUS LIFE TELLS.
Thirty five Pittsburg Captains of In
dustry Die This Winter.

Pittsburg, Jan. THE strenuous life
of Pittsburgers in their desire to amass
millions as quickly as possible is thin
ming the ranks of the big captains of
industry and depicting the swell clubs
which house the millionaires. Heart
disease has recently taken very promi-
nent men, all worth millions, including:
Frank b. Smith, president of the Cru
cible Steel company of America.
James w. Friend, vice-president of
Pressed Steel Car company.
William Clark Magee, who made mil
lions in coke.

general manager Of the Union Stock
Yards company.
Albert B. Baxter, broker, oil and gas
magnate.
John P. Ober, owner of vast business
interests.
George L. Fisher, president of the
Fisher Foundry & Machine company.
Twenty-Five other men have died sud
denly this winter, their wealth ranging
from 100000 to 100000. Heart dis
ease was the cause in nearly every case.

ment the power to lay and collect an
income tax "from whatever source de-
rived" without apportionment among

CALIFORNIA HAS NEW PEST.
Insect Like Ladybug Lays Waste Many
Grain Fields.

Jackson, Cal, Jan. A bug, some
what like the common ladybug, has
made its appearance near here. In
sowing piece of land to grain, num-
Der of sacks were left over night IN
the field An examination the next
day led to the discovery that each sack
was swarming with small bugs with a
dark yellowish back.
Other parts of this county were af-
fected by the same kind of insects, it
is believed, last year. The lands so
visited were denuded of all vegetation,
and the soil produced nothing for that
season. It was as if a fire had swept
over the surface One large ranch had
fully 100 acres so affected last year.
While there is no general appearance
of the bug in the county, it has ap-
peared in localities wide apart.

COMET WILL BRUSH EARTH.
Pacific Coast Will Have Best View
About May 18.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. s. HALEY !.
comet will give the Pacific Coast a
close brush this year on May 18, be-
tween the hours of and 10 O'Clock
p. m, and the "brush" will be some.
thing spectacular, says Professor
Charles Burkkalter, of the Chabot OBJ
servatory.
The earth will then pass through the
last Of the 10000, ,000-mile tail of the
celestial visitor, and the result ought
to be as dazzling piece of fireworks
as this generation has aver witnessed.
The astronomer insists that he has
nothing to say" about 50 dramatic a
situation, fraught not only with awe
inspiring possibilities to the dwellers
on the globe, but fraught, as well, with
possibilities Of tragic moment. Whether
or not the earth's dive through the
comets tail will mean anything more
than a dazzling starry spectacle, Pro-
fessor Burkhalter will not predict. He
only says:
"Wait and see."
The news that Halley's comet will
be seen only on the Pacific Coast has
not hitherto been published, although
the fact has been known for some time
to the astronomers of the world, many
of whom will journey to California to
be on the scene when the great phe-
nomenon takes place.
In discussing the comet, the astrono-
mer says:
Astronomers Cromelin and Cowell,
of the Royal observatory at Greenwich,
have probably made the most exhaust
i've researches into the history of the
comet.
According to the computations Hal
ley's comet will reach the descending
node on May 18, 1910, when it will be
in direct line between the orbits of
the earth and the sun, and it so hap
pens that the earth will reach that par
ticular point of its orbit about the
same time. Should the calculations of
the astronomers prove to be rigidly ex-
act, the comet will pass directly be-
tween the earth and the sun between
the hours of 4 and 10 O'Clock stand
ard Pacific time.
Assuming that it will happen dur
ing the middle of this time, or p. M,
it will be visible over the Pacific Ocean,
Eastern Asia and Western North Amer
lea.

CONSOLIDATE REPUBLICS
Minister Barrett Says This Will Be
Outcome of Trouble.

Minister Barrett Says This Will Be
Outcome of Trouble.
Washington, Jan. Consolidation
OF the five Central American republics
into one government is the plan the
State department is working on, accord
ing to information from an authorita-
tive source tonight. In the immediate
future only such steps as will bring
about the commercial development of
the countries, their establishment on a
sound financial basis and the stimula-
tion of an entente between the repub-
lies, are contemplated.
The first note of the new program
was sounded by John Barrett, director
OF the bureau of American republics.
In his recent Toledo speech, Barrett
declared that eventually the United
States of Central America would be an
accomplished fact.
On the heels of this announcement
came the declaration Of Senior Creel.,
the special agent of Mexico, who said
on leaving Washington:
The United States and Mexico will
continue cooperating to bring about
peace in Central America and to give
solid substance to the Washington con-
vention of 1907 and to develop a feel
ing of high respect to the international
court at Carthage.
1t is positively stated that the rela-
tions Of the United States and Mexico
have not been strained in the slightest
by the Nicaraguan episode.
1t is the conviction of the present
administration that the influential ele-
ment of the republics can be won over
by giving staple basis of commerce.
The removal of Zelaya means the elm
ination of the troublemaker of Central
America. 1t is necessary to the sue
cess of the plan to eliminate all traces
of Zelayanism, for the reason if Ma
driz shows any disposition to compro-
mise with Zelayanism, his chances for
recognition from the United States are
small.

COLD UNPRECEDENTED.

Chicago, Jan. What was looked
upon as an exciting weather drama
when the present stressful cold was
in process Of sweeping eastward from
the Rockies and from Medicine Hat to
the Atlantic seaboard, is fast assuming
an aspect of dire tragedy. The situa-
ton is full Of dire possibilities of ex-
posure and suffering. Already the
blight Of the severe cold has been felt
in many Western cities.
Fifty or more persons, score of
whom are in hospitals with injuries
that may prove fatal, were the victims
of accidents in Washington today as a
result of the sleet and snow which con-
verted the city's sidewalks and thor
oughfares into sheets of ice.
In many parts Of Iowa the fuel stu
alton is SO grave as to call for the Of
fetal attention of Governor Carroll.
Confscation of fuel is becoming general.
Here in Chicago there is only two
days supply of coal available for quick
use. Today there was widespread suf-
fering in the city. Chicago is also
threatened with the cutting off Of its
water supply, due to ice foes clogging
the cribs in the lake.
In the far Northwest and on the
ranges Of Colorado, Nebraska and
Wyoming hundreds of cattle have per
ished of exposure, starvation and lack
of water.
For the first time in the memory of
most persons living, the Mississippi
River is frozen from bank to bank from
st. Louis to a point so miles below
that city. By tomorrow morning it is
predicted one might skate on the river
from St. Paul to Memphis. Cincinnati
reports that ice gorges have caused a
loss Of $4,000, and that wave of high
water and ice is coming down the river,
carrying destruction in its path.

Taft Coming West Arain.

Washington, Jan. 7.-President Taft
is still looking forward to a trip to
Alaska late in the coming spring. He
plans to go to the far northwestern ter
ritory Immediately after the adjourn
ment of congress. In announcing to a
committee of New York congressman to.
day that he could not definitely accept
their invitation to visit New York on
May 30, the President said he might be
on his way to Alaska at that time, or
that congress might be in its closing
days. In the latter event, he would
not care to leave Washington.

Fire Destroys Palaca.

Athens, Jan. THE royal palace at
Tatoi caught fire at 10 o'clock tonight
when the royal family were gathered
around Christmas tree. The flames
spread, rapidly rising to a great height,
and soon the right wing of the palace
was practically destroyed. The fire is
believed to have beer due to illumina-
tions on the tree.
The royal family escaped. So far as
is known no one was injured. The
king, who was not in the palace at
the time, hastened home in a motor car.
