of Boxing Supervisors
Thinks Referees Action on
Wednesday Night Will Be
of Immense Benefit to the
Game.

oMPLETE confidence in Charley
White. the veteran referee. was
expressed to-day by Boxing COM
missioner Frank O'Neil in commenting
on Whites action In stopping the
Leach Cross-One-Round Hogan mill
Wednesday night because Of Hogan's
refusal 10 cease hitting In the break
aways. Commissioner O'Neil did not
attend the bout, and he prefaced his
remarhss by saying that the only In
formation concerning the incident was
that which he had CLEANED from the
newspapers. This was sufficient. how
ever, to lead him to believe that White
had acted for the best interests OF the
boxing game and in accordance with
the expressed will of the Boxing Com
mission.

have postponed his disqualification OF

Washington, Dec. ali. Pierpont
Morgan told the money trust investi-
cation committee of the house thai
"all the money in christendom and
all The banks in christendom" could
not form a monopoly. Mr.. Morgan dis
claimed any knowledge that he WELD
ed a vast power in modern finance,
and declared emphatically that he
sought no such power.
For nearly five hours the chief wit
ness, called by the committee in it's
probe of the i~ntricacies of modern fl
nance, stood a running fire of Dues.
tons that covered every phase of fl.
nancial operation.
Remarkable Hearing.
In some respects it was one of the
most remarkable hearings about the
halls of congress in recent years, with
Mr.. Morgan as the type and embodi-
ment of financial operations on a
colossal scale, and the committees
counsel. Samuel Untermyer, the rep
resentative element which seeks to
probe to the innermost recesses the
conditions under which vast financial
operations are conducted.
Prefers "combination."
Mr.. Morgan gave at length his views
on competition, combination
ton and control in industry and fl
nance, particularly the latter. He de-
clared that he did not mind COMPETE
tion," but that he preferred "combina-
ton" in his operations. He was en-
phatic in his declaration that there
is no way one man can get a monop-
oily of money"
Throughout the long examination to
which Mr.. Morgan submitted with an
evident willingness to answer, there
was not a moment when interest
Jagged. Short, sharp questions and
answers came with striking rapidity.
While the colloquys were at times
emphatic there was no serious clash
between Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Inter.
myer.
Mr.. Morgan gave a ready response
to questions, although there was often
a battle of wits as to the meaning and
effect of various financial conditions
and operations.
The question of competition and
combination brought about a lively in.
~terchange between the noted financier
and MIR. Untermyer, the latter opening
the tilt with the suggestion that Mr..
Morgan was opposed to competition.
The witness denied this, but said
that he favored cooperation add.
ing that he was in no way opposed to
competition and in fact liked a little
competition"
Disagrees With Untermyer.
He disagreed with the views of Mr..
Untermyer on the question of inter-
locking d~irectorates, which forms the
basis for a large part of the statistical
evidence that makes up the record of
the money trust investigation up to
date. Without actual control, Mr..
Morgan claimed, there is no control,
although some directors may be com,
mon to several corporations.
