a barrel with milling appliance In

The barrel is on a swivel, and there

against the bars the barrel turns
round. This works the mill inside

J. P. JR. TO SUCCEED
YOUNG MORGAN BECOMES HEAD
OF BIG BANKING HOUSE.
Has Been Trained by Father for
Twenty-Five Years to Take
His Place.

New York, April John Pierpont
of the great banking houses in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris,
that were built up by his father, is
torty-siX years old.
In physique he bears a very close
resemblance to his father. The few
persons who know him intimately say
that intellectually he is also a repro
duction, both as to temperament and
logged determination.
No American father ever strove
suits to train his son to succeed him.
to follow in his footsteps. to carry on
the stupendous work he had estab-
lished than did the master financier
who now lies dead in Rome. Between
father and son there had been the
closest fellowship and communion
ever since the elder Morgan under
took the training of the son.
1t is significant that among the
scores of 1nanciers who talked pri-
filling of Morgan's place in the tinan
cial world, not one doubted The sons
ability or willingness bravely to UNI
dertake the staggering task and he
roically to execute it.
A years after his graduation from
Harvard, in 1889, Jack" Morgan, as
he is called, married Jane Norton
Grew, member of an aristocratic old
family Of New York. They have three
sons and one daughter. The eldest,
father of his father, is now a fresh
man at Harvard.
Soon after his marriage, in 1890,
Mr. Morgan's father sent him to the
firms banking house in London to
serve his apprenticeship. There he
remained five years. During his
service there he handled the transac-
ton involving the payment of the
s40,000,000 this government paid the
foreign owners for the French Pana-
ma canal. In 1905 he was intrusted
by his father with exclusive respon-
sibility for negotiating the great bond
loan for Russia which the house made
in that year. President Roosevelt ap-
pointed him first secretary of the spe-
cial American embassy to the corona
tion Of King Edward After this ex-
perience in foreign business and d.
plomacy, he was called back to New
York and became partner and a
vicepresident In both the Morgan
bank here and In London.
