MORGAN FORTUNE PUT
EVEN AT $2oo,ooo,ooo

Various estimates were made
of the size of the fortune of the
late j. p. Morgan. The esti-
mates differed widely. None,
however, credited the dead
banker with having an estate
under SIS, 1000, 1000. Most of the
figures heard were much higher,
running from $1oo,ooo,oo to
5000, ooo,o 200.
A prominent director in one
banking institution placed Mr..
Morgan's fortune at about $780,
100000. He said that he esti-
mated that Mr.. Morgan's firm
had probably amassed a fortune
of $1oo, 100000 in the last twenty
years, of which Mr.. Morgan's in
dividuaI share was probably $751;
100000.
at is recalled that when Mr..
Morgan's father died, in $780,"
he said, "a fortune of $17,0oo,oOO
was left, to be divided among
the three heirs. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that the en-
terprises of Mr.. Morgan's firm
we're not uniformly profitable in
their outcome. There were losses
mingled with great gains, but
his largest gain, no doubt, was
made in the financing Of the
United States Steel Corpora
ton.

aggressive, the jaw firm as iron and
the eyes, looking from under heavy
brows, fierce and full of determina-
ton. A ragged moustache gave an ad-
ditional touch of ~fierceness to his ap-
pearance.
Although he was never athletic and
indeed, by his physicians advice had
taken no form of exercise for more
than twenty years-because, as he was
told, his great mentality was demand
ing all his energies-he was ~singularly
rapid in his movements. At 70 he
moved as quickly as a man of 40. He
would have been a striking figure Of
energy in any company.
His habits were simple, though he
was fond of good wines and constantly
smoked great black cigars. Abstemi-
Gus in everything else, he carried
smoking to a point that would have
killed a weaker man, but he never
seemed to derive any harm from it.
John Pierpont Morgan was not, in
the commonly accepted sense of the
term, a 'self-made" He began
his business career not as an appren-
tice or an ill-paid office boy, but as a
bank clerk who had the definite prom
Use of millions to back him. Never
theless, as that career showed, it was
his genius as much as the great wealth
behind him that carried him to his
high place in the world of finance.

issued temperature and respiration
mounted and in a few minutes Mr..
Morgan died. Word of his death was
at once sent to Mr.. J. P. Morgan, Jr.
John Pierpont Morgan was born on
April II, 1887, in Hartford. Up to the
age of II a lived the ordinary life of
a healthy boy in a small city and was
rugged and active, but not different in
any notable way from other boys.
Early in his 18th veal, however, he de-
veloped a weakness of the lungs that
was serious enough to keep him under
the constant care of a physician until
a year or two later, his family moved
to Boston.
There his recovery was speedy and
he a soon entered as a pupil at
the English High School. In every de-
partment but mathematics he dis
played no nor than a respectable
m%ediocrity, but in this particular field
his progress was remarkable-so re-
markable, in fact, hat when he went
to study at the University of Coffin
gen in 1854 the professors there de-
clared, almost to a man, that it would
be a waste of genius for him to do
anything but devote himself to mathe-
mates for the rest of his life. Previous
to his entrance to the university Mr..
Morgan had travelled with his par
ents extensively in Europe and had

Washington.-Walter H. Page, edi-
Tor of the Worlds Work, has been ap-
pointed American Ambassador to the
Court of st. James, and has accepted
the appointment. 1t is expected that
he will go to London soon after the
British Foreign Office has signified its
approval.
The appointment of Mr.. Page is an
other evidence that President Wilson
has not yet abandoned his announced
policy of choosing men for his impor-
tant diplomatic posts without regard
to their wealth.
Mr.. Page is in his ffty-eighth year.
He has been successfully newspaper
reporter, publisher, special writer,
editor of The Forum, literary adviser
of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., editor Of
the Atlantic Monthly, member of the
firm since 1899 of Doubleday, Page &
Co., and editor. of the Worlds Work.
He was p member of President Roose-
velt's country life commission, and is
now a member of the general educa-
ton board. He was born in Cary, N.
c., August Is, 1855.
One of his sons, Arthur w. Page, is
managing editor of the magazine; his
other sons, Ralph and Frank, are cot
ton planters in the South. Mr.. Pages
only daughter, Miss Katherine Page, is
a student at Bryn Mawr.
Mrs. Page was formerly Miss Alice
Wilson, daughter of DR.. William Will
son, daughter of DR.. William Wilson
of Michigan. Mr.. Page is a trustee
of the Teachers College and a mem
Der Of the National Arts, University,

buttons have given him the degree Of

clined the post. The President, it is
understood, is now inclined to tender
the American ambassadorship to Ru-
dolph S~preckels, the San Francisco
banker. Mr.. Spreckels is a member
of the family well-known as sugar
manufacturers. He was one of Presi-
dent Wilson's warmest supporters dur
ing the campaign, and is known as a

extra session was based upon the as
sumption that it would be wise to
give at least two or three weeks for
public discussion of the important
matters involved. 81 am glad to be

OLD BILL GOOD, SHE THOUGHT
Negro Woman Puts 1t in Circulation,
Believing Mr.. Wilson's Election
Restored Its Value.

Raleigh, n. C.-The Goldsboro ne
grees cleared up a counterfeit mys-
terry in the federal court of Goldsboro
when a woman confessed that she
started a Confederate bill to ~circulat-
ing under the belief that Woodrow
Wilson's election restored the money
of her masters.
The case reached federal court when
a hotel bell boy made demand upon
Will Love, negro, for the ten dollars
which Love received when the Con-
federate note was changed.
Love refused to pay back good
money and was arrested by United
States Deputy Marshal Smith. The
bellboy had made an effort to get the
money from a drug store, when he
was told the bill was worthless. On
trial Love, who passed the bill testi-
fed that a woman had given him the
money, declaring it good under the
present administration.
The woman confessed her part in it,
restored the ten good dollars and said
she had found the Confederate note.
The commissioner thinks the woman
received her inspiration from the per
verted promises of Wilson campaign
ers in the fall.

Azores, and at Vevey, in Switzerland.
Two years at Gottingen brought him to
the age of 81, when his father de-
c1ded it was time to begin business.
Junius Morgan, the father, was then
second only to George Peabody in the
London banking house of George Pea
body & Co. In a comparatively short
time he became chief partner and
when he died, at Monte Carlo, in 1890,
he was able to leave his son $40, 00O,-
0OO. 1t was the elder Morgan who
placed John Pierpont in a banking
house in New York after the son had
served for a time in the London estab-
lishment, and give him the start of his
business career.
Morgan returned to Europe in 1859
and married in Paris Amelia Sturgis,
daughter of Jonathan Sturgis, of New
York, who was even then fatally ill of
consumption. She died only a few
months later.
In 1865 he was married again, this
time to Frances Louise Tracy, daugh-
ter of Charles Tracy, a New York
lawyer. She is the mother of Louisa
Pierpont, ]. Pierpont, Jr., Anne Tracy
and Juliet Pierpont. Louisa married
Herbert Satterlee, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy; Juliet, William Pier
son Hamilton, a partner in the Nor
gan firm.
In person Mr.. Morgan was tall and

to carry a head massive in all it's fea-
lures and of unusual size. His face

CROW IS FRIEND OF FARMER
Biological Survey Discovers That
Birds Devour Insects Injurious

Washington.-The biological survey.
a branch of the department of agri-
culture, which studies the problems Of
what animals and birds are beneficial
and what detrimental to the welfare
of man, has just been looking into
the case of the crow. The farmer has
long accused this meddlesome bird Of
doing him much damage through pull
ing up his corn. The biological sur
vey found, upon examination, that
there were extenuating circumstances.
The stomachs of hundreds of crows
were examined that the diet of the
crow might be definitely determined.
In some of these stomachs |sprouting
corn vas found. In some the eggs Of
other birds indicated that the crow
was a robber of it's fellows. For each

NEW SCHOOL IS A MODEL
New York Now in Possession of Pub
lie Institution to Accom-
modate $500.

New York.-The worlds most Up-to-
date school is now a part of New
Tork's educational system as a result
of the opening here Of the city's new
est high school, which at the same
time is n that in the opinion Of IA
nous educators, marks the beginning
OF a new educational epoch.
This unique school will be larger
than any except a few of the great
universities, having accommodations
for $500 pupils and 228 instructors.
It's curriculum will include many
branches Of practical training on a
scale not hitherto attempted.
Fol example, there Is a seven-room
furnished apartment, in which the stu
dents of domestic science can strug-
gle with the problems Of ~housekeep-
ing under actual conditions, and a
model banking institution in which the
future leaders of high finance can
master its i~ntricacies in a manner
never before possible.
Then there is a garment factory
with many sewing rooms in which
management and other details of the
garment trade will be taught, a book
binding plant in which pupils may
take a complete course in this indus
try, a miniature ZOO" for the study
of animal life and a roof conservatory
in which horticultural knowledge may
be gained in regular classes.
While vocational training is provid-
ed for in MANY ways hitherto unat-
tempted, the care of the physical vel
fare and recreation of the students
has been provided for along lines
equally unique. For these purposes
the new school contains a theater with
a seating capacity Of 1900, in which
histrionic ability may be encouraged;
basketball courts, gymnasiums in
which particular attention will be paid
to the physical deficiencies of the stu
dents together with their upbuilding,
shower baths and a Iunchroom in
which 700 pupils can eat at one time.

Lobbying in Legislature Results in

tNSS0fko It
Chaos, and Is to Be Prohibited.
A great amount of confusion existed
in both houses of the Legislature be-
cause of the large number of persons
who were in and about the Senate and
House chambers interesting them
selves for and against proposed legis-
lat1on. There is no doubt that the
people have a right to approach their
legislative representatives, but this
privilege is too frequently taken ad-
vantage of by professional lobbyists
and volunteers, much to the detriment
of order and the time of the legislat-
ors. The floors of the House and Sen
ate are no places for lobbying. Argu-
ments should be presented at hearings
or directly to the individual legislators
at more fitting places than at their
desks in the legislative halls. To
overcome the confusion it has been
decided that for the remainder of the
session no one will be permitted on
the floor of either house, except the
legislators, State officers and the
newspaper men. This means that the
lobbying which becomes strenuous as
the session draws to a close will have
to be done in the corridors OF else
where.

J. P|ERPOhT MORGAN DIES
SUDDENLY IN ROME, ITALY
Famous FinanCier Stricken in Egypt, but Rallies, and Returns to
italian Capital, Where He Is Seized by Fatal Relapse.

Rome, March 81. Pierpont Nor
gan died here at the Grand Hotel,
where he had been staying since he
reached this city. Mr.. Morgan's end
came quietly. He had been in a coma
tose condition for several hours and
sank rapidly after midnight. With
him when he died were his three phys
icians and his daughter and son-in-law,
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Satterlee.
Mr.. Morgan died at 1905 o'clock.
This is 6:10 o'clock New York time.
The following bulletin regarding the
condition of ]. P. Morgan was issued
at noon by the attending physicians:
"Mr. Morgan has been sinking rap
idly since yesterday. Pulse, 40; tenn
perature, 104.
GIUSEPPE BASTIANELLI,
IN. ALLEN STARR,
&c. A. DIXON"
1t was known for many hours that
Mr.. Morgan was doomed. His strength
ebbed rapidly, while his fever mounted
and his breath came in quick and
painful gasps. Unable to speak, he
was practically in a state of coma for
hours before he died. Shortly before
noon his physicians issued a bulletin
declaring that his death was then only
a matter of minutes.
He was unconscious at that time.
His temperature had risen to 104h
degrees and his pulse had mounted to
140. His respiration was As. Normal
respiration is eighteen. The bulletin
was signed by the three physicians.
Death came much quicker than was
expected, for after the bulletin was

power and by his achievements. He
was never the Croesus in the popular
imagination or in the eye of Wall
street. To the former he was the
Money Power and to the latter the

reverence.
He was the mysterious, almost d.
vine, spirit which meant the success
of any enterprise upon which it de-
scended. His disfavor was a blight,
the simple presence o. which caused
men to shun the marked object like

been eaten a cut worm or some other
insect that was injurious to man. The
survey weighed the amount of good
that the crow did in devouring insects
against the harm it did in pulling up
corn and is inclined to believe that
the crow does man more good than
harm and therefore should not be
harshly condemned.
