New York, Jan. 81. Pierpont
Morgan, Thomas Ryan and Levi P.
Morton, combined hands in New
York in a trust company merger
with united resources of $150,OOO,'
900. 1t is triple combination
bringing the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, the Morton Trust company,
and 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 today and informally approved
the terms of the merger, which will
be put in more definite form on
Wednesday when another directors
meeting will be held and the plan
ratified by the stock holders, al
though a formal vote on the matter
will not be taken until later.
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 Alexan'
der J. Hemphill, Vice president and
acting president of the Guaranty
Trust company, has been mentioned
for the position.
This new move in finance follows
the recent ABSORPTION of the Guar
anty Trust company by the so-called
Morgan interests, but upon just
what terms the merger was made
was not disclosed today. The Guar
anty Trust company was organized
in 1891 and has total deposits of $685..
600, 900. The Morton Trust company
which was formerly the banking
house of Bliss Morton and Company,
was organized in 1899. Thomas F..
Ryan is vice president It's deposits
aggregate more than $45, ,00O, 900.

RAhn0AD PfREESS|DhbNl CONFERRED With TAFT
! REGARDING FORTHCOMING SPECIAL MESSAGE
Very Few Suggestions Made by Railroad Men, n--Message
Will Be Split Into Two Parts

Attorney General Wickersham rep
resented the legal department of the
government.
One OF the changes which Presi-
dent Taft agreed to make in his
recommendations has to do with the
language Of the proposed amend
ment prohibiting a railroad company
from acquiring stock in any compet-
ing railroad in the future or from
holding stock in competing rail-
road after a given date. 1t was
claimed that the wording of this
proposed amendment was such that
it might be held to apply to lines
like the New York Central and the
West Shore. The latter is and for
many years has been a New York
Central line, serving virtually as an
overflow trackage system on the
West Shore Of the Hudson river.
The law, as President Taft will
suggest it, will provide that where
railroad owns fifty per cent or
more of the stock OF another, it may
acquire the remainder. This, it is
said, would afford a measure of
protection to minority stockholders
for if the railroad owning the ma
iOrifv stock Sh0u1d no nrOhihitod
from acquiring any more, the min
ority would lose their only probable
purchaser. Where a railroad holds
less than the majority of stock in
another line, however, it will be
provided that it can acquire no more.
Nothing in the interstate com.
merce amendments will be so
drawn as to legalize in anyway the
holding of stock in a competing line

years of more or less depression,
they did not seek to deter the pres
ident from sending in his message.
They devoted themselves to more or
less specific objections to the bill
prepared by Attorney General Wick
ersham which forms the text of the
message. The president it is de-
clared, will not attempt to force the
Wickersham or any other bill upon
congress. He will say in his mes
sage that such bill has been draft
ed and is at the disposal of the ap-
preparation committee of the senate
and house. The railroad presidents
themselves admitted that their OBJ
jections to the proposed amendments
to the interstate commerce act were
general in their application to all of
the amendments.
The president, however, had made
his position clear to J. Pierpont
Morgan in a brief interview before
breakfast last Friday morning. Mr..
Morgan in turn arranged for todays
conference and advised the railroad
men to confine themselves to sugges-
tions of changes in the amendments
rather than to IN attempt to influ-
ence the president as to his general
course. Mr.. Taft has let it be
known he not only will make rec
concentrations for changes in the
law, but that he expects congress to
adopt the suggestions at this session
and thus carry out the promises of
republican party as written in the
Chicago platform.
Those who attended the conference
today we're Presidents McRea, of the
Pennsylvania, Lovett OF the Union
Pacific and other Hartman lines,
Brown Of the New York Central,
Mellen of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford, Baer of the Philadel-
phia and Reading, and Finley of the
Southern. The railroad presidents
brought Lewis Cass Ledyafd of New
York with them as general counsel.

gan his service of a fifteen year sen.
tence in the Atlanta federal prison
for violation OF the National bank
ins laws.
He is registered as convict num-
Der 2S14, and tonight occupies steel

those to which are assigned the sew
eral hundred other prisoners. His
immaculate tailored garments gave
way to a regulation suit of stripes,
nor did the distinguished prisoner
escape the Bertillion expert, the
prison photographer, the regulation
bath or the barber.
Morse arrived from New York at
10:45 a. m. in charge of two depu-
ties and accompanied by his friend
and close business associate, w. p.
Reid Of Boston.
He made no protest when the cam
eras Of the newspapermen were
trained upon him. He was placed in
hack and driven to the prison.
Because he had not been vaccinated
Morse was not permitted to eat in
the big dining room with his fellow
convicts and his first meal was serv-
ed in his cell. The prisoner turned
over to the prison clerk $218 in cur
rency. He was assigned to "Class
l" which entities him to the privi-
lege of seeing relatives or friends for
80 minutes in each two weeks of his
confinement.
Morse probably will be assigned to
the tailor shop or put to work on the
construction gang.
Mrs. Morse, formerly the wife OF
an Atlanta hotel proprietor, is ex-
pected here from New York tomor-
row. After a conference with her
husband, she will return to New
York and begin trying to secure a
pardon at the hands of President

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Following q
forenoon conference with presidents
of six of the great railroad systems
of the country, President Taft late
this afternoon announced change
OF program in the sending of his
message dealing with interstate CON-
merce and antitrust law amend
ments to congress. The message
will be split in two parts. The Sec
ton dealing with the trusts will be
sent to congress at noon Thursday.
The section dealing with the inter-
state commerce law in which the
railroads are directly interested will
be deferred until Friday noon. The
presidents special message on the
conservation Of natural resources is
expected to be ready for congress
next Monday.
A short time after the railroad
presidents had left the White House
it was announced that the president
still hoped to have his message for
congress on Wednesday. 1t had
been his original intention to treat
together the two subjects of inter-
state commerce and antitrust
amendments. It was said late this
afternoon that the message would
probably receive greater attention it
divided into two parts, neither OF
more than 1000 words.
AS result Of the call of the rail-
road presidents it was said that only
a few verbal changes would be made
in the draft of the message dealing
with the interstate commerce law
and that these would be only to the
end Of clarifying the meaning of the
railroads recommendations.
President Taft found the railroad
men most considerate in presenting
their views. While depreciating the
idea of any legislation at all at this
time when, they declared, conditions
in the railroad and industrial world
are righting themselves after two
