MONOPOLY TO CONTROL.
MONEY IS IMPOSSIBLE.
So Mr.. Morgan Tells Senator's De-
MES WELDING Unusual Power
Doesn't Even Want It==Lively
Session at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 19.-J. Pierpont
Morgan, today, told the money trust
investigating committee of the House
that "All the money in Christendom
and all the banks in Christendom'
could not form a monopoly that would
control money. Mr.. Morgan diselaim
ed any knowledge that he welded a
vast power in modern finance, and de-
elared emphatically that he sought nc
such power.
For nearly five hours the chief wit
ness called by the committee in its
probe of the intricacies Of modern fl
nance stood a running fire of ques-
lions that covered every phase of
financial operation. In some respects
it was one of the most remarkable
hearings about the halls of Congress
in recent years, when Mr.. Morgan as
the type of embodiment of financial
operations on a colossal scale, and
the committees counsel, Samuel I'm
termyer, the representative of the
element which seeks to probe 10 the
innermost recesses the conditions I'M
der which vast financial operations are
conducted.
Mr.. Morgan gave at length his views
on competition, combination. cooper
alton and control in industry and fl
nance, particularly the latter. He de-
elared 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 one man may get n
monopoly of money"
Throughout the long examination
TO which Mr.. Morgan submitted with
an evident Willingness to answer,
there was not a moment when inter-
est Jagged. Short sharp questions and
answers came with striking rapidly

phatie, there was no serious clash be-
tween Mr. Morgan and MFR. Trnterny-
