MORGAN ON CARPET
NIBEFORE COMMITTEE
tBy Associated Press

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.--J. Pierpont
Morgan occupied the center OF the
stage today before the so called money
trust investigation committee of the
house of representatives.
The noted fnancier reached Wash
ington last night in response to sub
pena from the committee, but 1t was
not until 2:40 o'clock this afternoon
that the way was cleared for his tes-
timony to begin. Meantime Morgan
sat for nearly an hour listening to the
mass of statistics which Untermyer
and the committee were piling UP con-
corning the colossal financial opera
tions of leading New York, Chicago
and Boston institutions through so
called interlocking directorates.
MORGAN APPEARS UNM0vED
Morgan heard his own name and that
OF his firm referred to many times as
tables were presented showing the
ahiliations of that concern with many
banks. trust companies. transportation
and Industrial corporations. He ap-
peared unmoved throughout 1t all.
Morgan's testimony lasted barely 90
minutes and was largely preliminary
to the testimony to be given tomor.

Miss Matilda Moisant sister OF the
late John Moisant and herself daring
aviatrix, has given up the navigation
of the air lanes. She was a passenger
from Panama to Acajutla on the liner

from the lower coast.
Miss Moisant was a close friend OF

It was the death of Miss Quimby that
decided Miss Moisant to accede to the
pleading of her relatives and quit the
dangerous game. She has sold her
monoplane and is now visiting her
brothers at their home in Salvador.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-That J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co. controls 18 of
the biggest financial institutions in
New York city and, through Drexel e.
Co.. four OF the largest banks in Phi1a-
a report given out by Samuel Inter
myer prior TO calling Morgan himself
to the stand at today's hearing of the
money trust investigation.
Attorney Untermyer had prepared the
way for sensational examination OF
Morgan by making public the report
compiled by himself and his associates
which he intends to OFFER in evidence in
support of his allegation that there is
a money trust dominating the financial
affairs of the United States.
ACTUATED BY REVENGE
Bankers and lawyers who were pres
ent at the hearing today and examined
the report said that Untermyer was
actuated by revenge toward some OF
his former friends in Wall street. but
at the present time it is quite evident
that Untermyer holds thu whip hand
Although Morgan was on the stand
but short time, Unternyer brought
from him the fact that j. P. Morgan &
Co. is private bank. doing the general
business of banking institution Nor
gan said that the deposits in the bank
on November IL amounted to sS1 900 600
and that II corporations with a total
capitalization of 100000 made
their deposits in that institution.
STRIKES AT MoRGAN's. POWER
Untermyers questions at todays
hearing intimated clearly that he is
aiming to strike at the power OF j.
Pierpont Morgan, who will be srecalIed
to the stand tomorrow morning.
Incidentally. the questions OF the
counsel for the committee are designed
to show that the New York stock ex
change Is engaged in interstate com
merce, and as such is subject to federal
regulation. It is probable that the bill
which he will draft for enactment by
the democratic congress will contain
a proviso requiring stock brokers' act
ually to deliver all shares Of stock
bought or sold and to end the alleged
manipulation OF the stock market

NAPA, Dec. 1s.-Lafayette Newell. an
escaped patient from the Napa state
hospital for the insance, shot and killed
Miss Rosa Lemos and seriously wounded
John Havila, rancher. at the Malan-
drino place. near Napa. this afternoon.
After the tragedy he disappeared east
ward toward the hills and still is at
large.
The shooting occurred at o'clock,
when Miss Lemos. who is sister of
Joe Lemos. Havila's partner. was alone
in the ranch house. Newell appeared
at the door and attacked her When
she resisted him he shot her in the
head and dragged her dead body to her
room. where he hid 1t under the bed
Half an hour later Havila came in
from work and as he neared the house
Newell shot at him from ambush, the
bullet taking effect in his right arm.
Newell then started eastward toward
Cordelia, taking the rifle with him.
1t was said at the hospital that
Newell hroke away from the guards two
weeks ago and has been wandering IN
the hills ever since Ha was at the
Lemos house 10 days ago. when he stole
the rife with which he did the shooting
today
A posse composed Of deputy sheriffs
from Napa and officers of tie Napa
hospital is in the field tonight and ex-
poets to capture the crazed man before
daybreak.
Because of his familiarity with the
rough country around Cordelia. small
town several miles from here, Newell
is believed to have made for the hills
in that vicinity, where he expects to
find cover in the sagebrush and thick
manzanlta. He has plenty of ammu-
milton with him and a fight is expected
when he is located by the sheriffs
posse.
At 10 o'clock tonight the body of Miss
Lemos was taken to the morgue in
Napa. where 1t was examined by Coro-
ner Walter Brownlee. The condition OF
the womans clothing indicated that she
had given her murderous assailant
terrible fight before she succumbed to
the fatal bullet. Examination showed
that the victim had been struck several
times on the head with blunt instru-
ment, presumably with the stock of the
rife. Whether the maniac used his
weapon as bludgeon before or after
the shot was fired could not be deter
mined
The walls of the bedroom presented
grewsome spectacle. Blood was spat-
tered over the furniture and wallpaper,
while strands of the unfortunate
womans hair were found in various
places.
Joe Lemos, the brother, half crazed
with grief and horror over the terrible
tragedy, shouldered rifle and started
out alone in pursuit of the unbalanced
murderer late tonight. If they meet,
another death is probab BILE.
