Iy'
The wife of Americas foremost figure
IN the financial world today wore a
happy smile as she praised Salt Lake
and remarked about the advancement
of the city during The past five years.
1t wasn't that ordinary stage stun that
one hears from ultra-polite tourists
Great place this" Mrs. Morgan was
pleased and she enthused.
Samuel Newhouse lived up to his
reputation as d host, and the Morgan
party didn't have an idle moment in
Salt Lake. Mining properties at Bing-
ham were inspected. President Joseph
F. Smith of the Mormon church well
coined the distinguished fasteners, and
a sightseeing tour of Salt Lake was
also enjoyed.
Imagine Mrs. Morgan and party aris-
ing at a. m. to do q sightseeing
stunt! But the wife Of the venerable
financier was ready and waiting when
Mr.. Newhouse drove UP to the Hnuts-
ford hotel in an automobile to convey
the members Of Mrs. MOrgan's party
to their private car, waiting to take
them to Bingham. The trip to the
mines was made without particular IN
cident. The Utah Copper company
properties were inspected and the
American Smelling & Refining cOmpa-
ny's smelter near Murray was also Wis.,
tied. Mr.. Newhouse personally con-
Quoted the tour. Mrs. Morgan did mol
accompany the party, as she vas anx-
ious to get a real good look at Sai'
Lake. She spent the early morning IN
motoring about the city.
Hear Great Organ
At s o'clock in the afternoon the en-
tire party attended an organ recital al
the tabernacle. The big organ was tenn
porarily our of commission in the Tore
noon, but 1t was repaired in time 10 &C
comrnodate the visiting party.
Accompanied by Bishop c. w. Nib
lev, Mrs Morgan and her party called
upon President Joseph T. Smith or the
Mormon church at the Lion house dur
ing the afternoon. Mrs. J. Pierpon1
Morgan, Miss Ann Morgan and the
other members Of the party converseo
with President Smith, and at the con-
clusion of the rather formal meeting
expressed themselves as surprised anc
pleased with their host.
Mr.. Newhouse devoted practically the
entire day to entertaining his guests
He was with them from early morning
until the party left over the Rio Grande
1T 4:O5 D. N. for Colorado Springs.
The age Of any woman is rather
delicate subject 10 discuss, and the rep
resentative Of The Herald-Repubican
did not feel at liberty TO question Mrs
Morgan in detail regarding her sum-
ners and winters. But the vile OF the
man who strobe into the ring on the
Wall street change" less than three
years ago and offered 10 lend $4,000 DOC
at practically the usual rate In order to
save the situation, does not look 10 De
an elderly woman. She IS matronly
but not aged.
The members of the Morgan party
usually fight shy Of newspaper men
They avoid publicity. but yet are
friendly and not difficult TO approach
The members Of the party are Mrs J.
Pierpont Morgan, Miss Ann Morgan
Miss Florence Rhett and Miss Florence
Blyth.
