dore A. Vail of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co.. James S.
Bradley, jr., of Toledo and others in

The probe of s1ate departments
which was inaugurated recently by
Gov. Harmon has been given further
impetus by the appropriation of SEQ
900. This amount was voted by both
branches of the assembly and the SEN
ate went further in adopting the Beat
ty resolution, providing for legisla-
tive investigation by a commission OF
four into all departments If this res
olution goes through, there will be two
probes in progress, but the governor
will devote his time largely to in
vestigating what he considers evil
dence of Illegal collection os interest
on state funds by state treasurers, and
of graft in state purchases, while the
Legislators may conflne their effort
largely to probing the alleged grabbing
of state lands by corporations and the
alleged action of officials in giving
only part of their time to state duties.

NEW YORK BANKERS MERGE
Morgan, Ryan and Morton, In Linking
Trust Companies, Unite S15o,ooo-
oo0-Directors Approve.

New York City,. Pierpont Nor
gan, Thomas F. Ryan and Levi p. Nor
ton have linked hands in New York in
trust company merger which unites
resources of $150,000,00O. 1t Is a
triple combination, bringing the Guar
anty Trust Co., the Morton Trust Co
and the Fifth Avenue Trust Co., all of
this city, under one head, with the
title of the Guaranty Trust Co. The
merger is perhaps the largest of its
kind in the United States.
Directors of all three companies met
and informally approved the terms of
the merger, which will be put in more
definite form when another directors
meeting will be held and the plan rat
flied by the stockholders, although q
formal vote on the matter will not be
taken until later. Levi p. Morton, who
is president of the Morton Trust Co.
and the Fifth Avenue Trust Co., has
consented to act as chairman of the
board of the merged companies for
which no president has been chosen.
This move in finance follows the re-
cent absorption of the Guaranty Trust
Co. by the so-called Morgan interests,
but upon just what terms the merger
was made has not been disclosed.
