Morgan, however, all the time was
laying his plans for his first railroad
consolidation. which when accom-
plished, established his standing in
Wall street as the only man who eve.
got the better of Jay Gould.
Morgan's control over men and
money was the dominant keynote Of
his life.
Others, perhaps, were weaIthier than
Morgan, but he now commanded his
wealth and that of others.
In addition to finance. art ntera-
ture, philanthropy and sport all came

We're wont to call him into consuIta-
tion.
Mr.. Morgan came from an old
New England family, which dates
back in this country to 1885. He was
born in wealth and his father. Junius
Spencer Morgan, left him ten millions.
J. s. Morgan had accumulated his
fortune in the dry goods business
with Levi P. Morton and later as an
associate of George Peabody, mer-
chant. banker and philanthropist.
]. Pierpont Morgan was born on
April II, 1887, in a modest red brick
cottage in Hartford. Conn. AS a
yOungster his tendency to write
poetry gave him the nickname or
"Pip."
When he was Id years DID Morgan
was sent to Boston to the the English
high school He showed a particular
bent for mathematics, but had 10
gifts Indicative of unusual mental
power. Probably his first attempt at
fnace took place in Boston. The
school teacher gave him money with
which to buy erasers Young Morgan
was gone for a long time, When h.
returned he handed the teacher the
erasers and also some change

For two years after graduating
from the Boston high school, Mr.. Nor

his career as a banker.

the emperor of Russia when he chose

who believed in himself absolutely
and apparently never questioned the
correctness of his method.
His friends, however knew him as
simple, unaffected companion, an
interesting conversationaliSt, VITA
Keen wit and genial humor.
Once a woman asked him why he
kept on accommodating money when he
already had more than he needed.

gan, the American financier, died u
5 minutes past IL o'clock, noon, today
(6;05 a. m. Nsw York time.)
When the death of Mr.. Morgan was
sen to be approaching rapidly, Por-
fessor Bastianelli and DR.. Dixon
forced Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert L. Sat
terlee, his son-in-law and daughter,
and Miss Helen Hamilton, who had
been in constant attendance, to leave
thearoom.
Mr.. Morgan toward the end show
ed that he was suffering internally
only by movement of his right hand.
Otherwise he displayed no signs Of
vitality, except by continuous heavy
breathing.
Frequent bulletins were issued dur
ing the morning showing that his con,
dition was gradually becoming worse
and by II o'clock the physicians had
given up all hope.
Mr.. Morgan was unable to assimi-
late the artificial nourishment admin
istered during the morning and his
physical weakness was extreme
Heart tonics were injected, but they
had no effect, and for several hours
before his death he was in state Of
coma, unable to respond to any ques-
tions or to recognize any of those at
his bedside.
One of his relatives, Mrs. Fitzsim-
mon, wife of the Rev. Fitzsimmon, ar
rived from Cannes, and was shown
into the death chamber, but her pres
ence remained unknown to the dying
man.
Besides the four trained nurses in
attendance, Miss Helen Hamilton was
of great assistance to the three physi-
clans, Professor Giuseppe BastianelIi,
DR.. Alon Starr and Dr. George 4.
Dixon
During the morning George Post
Wheeler, secretary of the American
embassy called to make inquiries Oh
behalf of the American ambassador,
Thomas ] O'Brien, and was told that
Mr. Morgan had collapsed and thu.
his condition had been rendered worse
by increasing deafness.
From his arrival in Rome, Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee had fearel
mistake had been made in bring
ing Mr.. Morgan to Rome, instead of
taking him direct to London, where
he would have been in his own house,
instead of in a noisy hotel, and they
thought, too, that the climate of Rome
was too mild and enervating for him
in his condition of i'll health.
Cable dispatches from America,
Great Britain and other parts of the
world poured in all day, making anx-
ious inquiries and expressing the af-
lection in which Mr.. Morgan was held
everywhere.
The financier's secretary found 1t
impossible to reply to all the inquiries.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Satterlee expressed
the desire to inform the inquirers how
touched they were at the manifesto
tions of sympathy thy had received.
The body of the late J. Pierpont
Morgan is to be embalmed and sent
to the United States on board a ship
from Naples. A funeral service will
be held before its departure.

MEXICO PROTESTS TO
THE UNITED STATES
Against Shipment of Arms
Across Border

Mexico City, March 31.-The MeXi-
can government has made formal
protest to the American government
against the shipping of arms and am
munitions from the United States to
the rebels, ~and has requested that
greater vigilance be exercised in
guarding the frontier.
Mexican officials understand that
numerous consignments of war ma
terial, including many machine guns
have been sent across the border, in
some cases even at the regular ports
o. entry, and are now in the hands Of
the rebels.
1t is pointed out by the same Off
cials that since the rebels control Il
large part of the frontier, this coun-
try is dependent absolutely for the
time being on the United States to
prevent the rebels from obtaining sup
plies. That the rebels are securing
quantities of ammunition appears to
be a fact.
