MONEY CONTROL
IS IMPOSSIBLE
Banker Morgan IS Quizzed
BY Attorney Untermeyer.
MILLIONS AS MERE TRIPLES.
just 4 Small Interest That Doesn't
Need Watching, He Remarks
When Asked About Bank
Share Holding.

Washington. ~. Pierpont Morgan
told the Money Trust investigating
committee Of the House that aall the
money in Christendom and all the
banks in Christendom'' could not
form monopoly that would control
money. He disclaimed any knowledge
that he welded vast power in mod
ern finance and declared emphatical-
" that he sought no such power.
For nearly Ave hours the chief wit
ness called by the committee in its
probe Of the intricacies Of modern
finance stood a running fire Of ques-
tions that covered every phase OF
financial operation. In some respects
1t was one of the most remarkable
hearings about the halls of Congress
in recent years, with Mr.. Morgan as
the type and embodiment Of financial
operations on colossal scale and the
committees counsel, Samuel Inter
myer, the representative OF the ele-
ment which seeks to lay bare to the
innermost recesses the conditions I'M
der which vast financial operations
are conducted.

Mr.. Morgan gave at length his views
on competition, combination. co-opera
ton and control in industry and
finance, particularly the latter. He
declared that he did not mind com,
petition" but that he preferred "com-
bination" in his operations. He was
emphatic in his declaration that there
is no way in which one nan can get a
monopoly Of money.
Throughout the long examination to
which Mr.. Morgan submitted with an
evident willingness to answer, there
was not a moment when interest lag
ged Short. sharp questions and
answers came with striking rapidity.
While the colloquy was at times
emphatic, there was no serious clash
between Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Inter
myer. Mr.. Morgan gave ready re-
Spouse to questions, although there
was often battle Of wits as to the
meaning and effect of various financial
conditions and operations.

PRESIDENT TAFT

TAKE UP DUTIES in SPRING.


Washington. President Taft has
made up his mind to accept the proffel
Of the Kent professorship Of law at
Yale, and probably will take up his
duties at New Haven early in the
spring.
The President was said to have de
termined upon accepting the Yale pro
censorship for several reasons. He
will not be restricted merely to lee
lures to Yale students, but win be
permitted to lecture, II he desires, In
other law schools or upon the plat
form, or to engage in any other oc
cupation which he sees fit.
II the President had returned to
| Cincinnati to resume law practice he
felt that he would have but little
opportunity for practice. He felt that
he could not appear in cases before
the United States Supreme Court be
cause he has appointed a majority Of
It's membership He remembered
when he thought Of the law that he
had named many Federal judges in
Ohio before whom he might have to
argue cases, and he believed that
about the only sort of practice which
he could take up would be interna
tional, and that he regards as uncer
tain.

WOULD ARBIT
CANAL Din
The Best Way to Sell
Difficulty.
PURE QUESTION Of LAW.


Washington. That the United
States should submit to arbitration.
the Panama Canal controversy be-
tween Great Britain and this country
was the declaration made BY Everett
r. Wheeler, OF New York, at the open
ing session here Of the American So
ciety for the Judicial Settlement Of
International Disputes.
1T is inconceivable, be asserted,
'that after the United States has set
tied by arbitration far more important
controversies between itself and
Great Britain than any that can pos
sibly arise with reference to the Pam
anna Canal it should refuse to refer
to an impartial tribunal, formed mi
pursuance OF treaty which the
United States itself proposed. this
pure question of law as to what the
Hay-P auncefote treaty means.
The speaker secuted the idea that
it would be impossible to procure uns
biased and impartial arbitrators He
said this was doing great injustice to
the judges who form the pa1lsisof the
high court ut The Hague who are not,
arbitrators put forward BY each natiof
to maintain its own interests, butS
judges Of high character, learning and
ability.
so far as The Hague tribunal Is.
concerned, Mr.. Wheeler continued,
most Of the judges are citizens Of
nations that have but trifiing inter-
est in the controversy or perhaps
none at all. But If It were otherwise
It would be better q thousand times
that the United States should submit
fits case to this tribunal than that it
should be false to its plighted faith
and the honorable traditions Of 125
years"
More than usual interest attached
to this years meeting Of the society
because of the important international
questions now at stake, both at home
and abroad, among the Balkan, Pan
anna and Mexican situations.
Worldwide public opinion would
support the Judgment of q wise and
capable international court In the ma
jerity Of cases which might be.
brought to It for settlement, declared
Joseph e. Davies, Of Madison, Wis.
Thomas Willing Balch. of Philadel-
phia, expressed the opinion that many
improvements might be made in the
existing code of international law and
that much could be accomplished
through construction legislation BY
future peace congresses.
