ETERNAL CITY GIVES
LAST FAREWELL TO
]. P|ERPONT MORGAN
Body of Dead Financier
Conveyed to Havre to
Be Shipped to the
United States

Rome. April 2-The Eternal City gave
its last farewell to j. Pierpont Morgan,
whose booy was conveyed this evening
from the Grand hotel to the railway sta
ton and there placed aboard a train for
Havre. It will be transported to the
United States by a steamer. probably
the France, sailing for New York on
Saturday.
| The German Emperor sent message of
coincidence to Mrs. Morgan as follows
Accept the expression of my sincerest
| sympathy in your great bereavement
Your husbands death is loss not only
for you. your family and your country.
but his many friends In all parts of the
werld shall never forget him.
The funeral procession to the depot was
impressive in its simplicity. The hearse
was followed by carriages in which rode
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee, the
American ambassador, Thomas J. O'Brien;
the staff of the embassy, the attending
physicians, DR.. Nelson of the American
church and few friends Platoons of
municipal guards acted as an escort.
The people in the streets raised their hats
as the cortege passed.
The coffin was placed on a special car,
covered with black velvet draperies with
silver fringe. The floral tributes from
members of the family, the German EN-
peror, the municipality of Rome and the
American ambassador were placed around
the coffin. Shortly before thesdeparture
of the train the French consul arrived,
bringing beautiful silver wreath from
the city of AK Les Bains. 1t bore the
French tri-color and an appropriate in
scription. George Post Wheeler, secre-
tary of the American embassay, was the
only one of the party to remain until the
train drew out.
The physicians who were in attendance
on Mr.. Morgan issued the following Of
fetal statement today:
when Mr.. Morgan left New York he
was a very tired man, physically and
mentally. Digestion and nutrition were
impaired. 1t was hoped that his usual
trip to Egypt would be of great benefit,
giving him rest and building up the ner-
vous force, especially as he had no or
ganic disease. His appetite, however.
failed, and consequently his strength and
weight did not improve.
MIR. Morgan contracted a severe cold
while in Egypt, which further weakened
him. A state of mental depression de-
veloped. He arrived at Cairo in very
rundown condition, but during three>we
in Cairo he improved mentally and physi-
cally, his powers of concentration and
memory showing no impairment. The trip
to Rome did not fatigue him and he con-
tinued to gain slowly for 10 days.
"A week before his death his strength
began to fail. He was put to bed Wednes-
day afternoon, March 26. He became de-
lirous and extreme exhaustion followed.
This continued until Sunday evening, when
he passed into a state of coma. He died
at 1876 p. m. Monday.

What answer, if any there to the showing of the Census of 1si0 that the output of individual ownership and small corporations has been produced at less than in the case of their competitors the large corporations? What IS the difference between restraint of competition and restraint of trade? Granted that destructive competition is un- desirable and uneconomic from the standpoint of the publc how can competition be regulated to pre- vent it's reaching that point? Can regulatory system be devised that will be effective only in protecting ,be nubc from the alleged evils that flow mo nopolv or monopoly but in preserving the al Ieged benefits of such monopoly?

Is the prcecutting of de- Dartment stores and other mercantile establishments benefit or an injury to the pubc Is the fixing of prices or the limiting output by farmers. through eoopera ton or other form of organization permissible under the sherman Act? Are agreements between oiganiza- tions of working and organizations of employers fixing rates wages hours of labor and conditions or work violation of the sherman Act?
