roads. industrial corporations and
mercantile institutions would entitle
him to be called the Merchant King.
except that he is not interested in the
products of those industries only as
they relate to financial manipulation.
He is called banker and ii is true
that he is the greatest banker in the
world, but the ordinary legitimate
functions OF banking do not interest
him, nthe sense that a banker Is
dealer in credit.
Morgan is fnancien whose banks,
as we'll as his industrial enterprises,
are tools by means of which he can
juggle stock securities. His wealth,
gained by these means, with never
any serious consideration OF what the
average man calls fair profit or legiti-
mate interest, cannot be estimated,
tut few believe that either Rockefel-
Ter or Carnegie have muc hthe best or
| II against Morgan in the sweepstakes
OF the dollar giants.
There has just compiled an author
| itative statement OF Morgans New
York bank grasp, which ought TO be
| Illuminating TO congress, which has
| been side-stepping an investigation OF
the money trust" This statement
| shows that there is such a trust and
that its name is Morgan.
! For instance: Morgan openly con-
| trolls ~ New York banks and trust
companies. with total assets OF ST.
| los. 291 900. OF which $S72,S57 700 are
| deposits. The total capital and sur
plus OF these banking institutions,
! that traffic in more than $S00.0000 900
OF deposited money, is s1S2,6s7 200
Mongan not only dominates this
| financial combination, but Tor all
practical purposes he has at his dis
! posal, especially in times OF financial
stress, the 10 banks and trust COM
! panies which are controlled directly
/ by the Standard Oil coterie OF finan-
I cfers-not the Standard oil Co., as
such. These 16 institutions have
capital and surplus aggregating $137,-
| $50 200, deposits of $707,3l2, 200 and
total assets of 1878 ,965,S0O.
| There is a small and relatively un.
important group OF New York banks
| that are supposed to be independent,
but are really dominated by Morgan
when he needs them.
Just in his own and the Standard
Oil New York banks and trust COM
panies Morgan is seen to weld the
magic wand over almost 81 ,000, 000,-
900.
] Entirely excluded from this equa-
sion is the control by the Morgan and
Standard OIL banks Of numerous
banks and trust companies of the In
terror. Many interior banks seem en-
| tirely independent OF these New York
interests, and ordinarily are indie
pendent, but when these Is a panic,
precipitated in Wall-st., by such
man as Ice King Morse, interior bank
ers are forced to get just as busy with
clearing house certificates in lieu OF
cash as the New York banker.

COMPILED BY CHECKING

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE pecu-
! liar secretive tactics adopted by the
White Star Line since the accident 10
the Titanic continued today, when al
ter giving out supplementary list OF
the rescued with the announcement
that Ii had, been received by wireless,
the company denied that II had SO
been received. The general passenger
agent said II was compiled by cheek
ing up the data that was received yes
terday and which had been relayed TO
land by the Olympic. This followed a
demand that information be made
public regarding the condition OF the
survivors on the Carpathia, all OF
whom are known to have suffered
greatly from exposure before being
rescued.
I'VE are not in communication with
the Carpathia and have not been since
yesterday" said the lines officials
The result has been bitter criticism
especially in view OF the knowledge
that among the men saved is j. Bruce
Ismay. managing director OF the line.
His presence on the Carpathia was be-
Iieved by many to be responsible LOT
the failure OF the Carpathia TO send
the details of the wreck. There was
also much criticism among relatives
who had lost loved ones because Is
may had not remained with the ship,
but the officers OF the line claimed
that he had gone with the boats De-
cause il was deemed necessary TO
have some one in authority In charge.
There were not as many inquiries AT
the Offices OF the line today so Tar as
the first and second cabin passengers
were concerned, but many thronGed
the third class Offices. There were
young couples who were expecting
aged parents for whose passage
money they had toiled long and labor
iously Then there We're stalwart
workers who were expecting the
sweethearts who were TO make homes
for them in the promised land
There was little information for any
of them. because the officials had not
vet completed the comparisons OF the
list of the saved with the steerage
lists just received.
Some OF the inquirers could not
make themselves understood by the
clerks and their grief was great AT
times men or women would break
from the line almost fainting and with
tears running down their cheeks.
Many sustained themselves with hope,
because the entire list of the sur.
yivors was not yet available and
forced themselves to believe tha'
eventually their loved ones would DC
saved.
Friends of Isidor Straus and his
wife announced today they had aDan
doned hope that they had been saved
They said they did not believe thar
Mrs. Straus would have left her hus-
hand. TO whom she was devoted, un'
less he could accompany her into the
boat.
Wild rumors that some passengers
had been picked up by liners ana
were being carried TO Europe were
circulated, but in every case they iaii-
ed 70 stand confirmation and II seem
ed certain that details must walt the
arrival OF the Carpathia.
