MEMORIAL FOR
LATE F|NANC|ER
Meeting Held at New York
Chamber of Commerce
Senator Root Speaks.

New York, April 4.-The New York
Chamber of Commerce. of which Mr..
Morgan was for fifty years a member
and four terms its vice president. held
q memorial meeting today in his
honor. The chamber adopted a reso-
luton placing upon its records "sen-
timents of deep reverence for the
man Of character" and It's enduring
apprsetationS pfsi the dominant force
Tor god which he welded through q
long life Of masterful endeavor and
far.reaching accomplishment"
Eulogistic addresses were delivered
by John Claflin. president of the
chamber: Senator Elihu Root, Joseph
II. Choate. Robert w. De Forest. Seth
Every seat in the great meeting
room of the chamber was taken and
many were compelled to stand. Every
important financial institution Of this
city as we'll as every important mer-
camille house was represented.
Vaguely See Career.
Senator Root displayed evidences of
deep emotion as he delivered his
eulogy at the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Morgan's life" he said, "is still
SO near us that the idea that he whom
VIC iilct mere lS W Uc ucEc no more is
hard to realize. Nevertheless, We can
already vaguely see his great career
and vigorous prsonality, as whole.
His was the most commanding and
controlling figure in this country. He
was the greatest of bankers and the
greatest organizer of production. No
title marked him for leadership. No
office was created for his. presumption
Of greatness. He had none of the
arts Of popularity and little aptitude
for self expression.
''He had the quality. of quick de-
cision. Opportunity never knocked in
vain at his door,. He had high cour.
age and infiexible resolution. Take
him all in all. he was a man, a great
man. whose qualities amounted to
genius. So he became great leader
in great affairs. and his name became
a guaranty of soundness and good
faith and success. He played no game
of, chance. He took from no man.
He acquired great fortune by MAX
ing the prosperity Of many and by
taking his fair and just share of that
DrOSOerity"

the Ohio river side with the result that
a force Of worknen had to be rushed
there earl ytoday, when a washout
was threatened. The high winds caus-
ed tho river to cut into the bank to
such an extent that danger to the city
is imminent. Several hundred bags of
sand hurriedly were carried to the
tomobiles and further erosion Of the
bank was prevented for the time. The

was the slogan posted last night In the
window of a newspaper office. The
words were taken up by the crowds
around the bulletin board and soon
were on the lips Of every one around
the hotels and other meeting places.
Send for Sons.
So interested are the property own
ers in saving the city that some of
them have sent for their sons who are
in college or working in other cities
to come home and fight the floods.
Three of these. Brashan Mattingly, at
tending the University of Illinois, and
Comfort Butler and Miles Schuh, who
have been in st. Louis. arrived here
last night on a steamboat.
Lieutenant s. B. Buckner, u. S. A.,
has ordered constructed fifty fiat boats
to be placed throughout the low Sec
tions Of the city in cases of emergency.
A planning mill near by reported that
it could turn out sufficient supply
of these in day. They will be ready
tomorrow.
Soldiers encamped on the river
boats. expecting to be here several
days longer. have been supplied with
five days rations. This is accounted
for largely by the predictions of the
local weather observer that the crest
of the flood will not reach here until
as late as next Monday.,. :.
Supplies for Ten Days.
The commissary department Of the
city. looking out for food for the la
borers and needy families. reported
last night that there were supplies
on hand for ten more days If no more
are brought in. Four thousand liberal
rations are dealt out daily. consisting
Of three kinds of meat. sandwiches.
eggs. pickles, fruit, bread, cake and hot
coffee.
The rain last night made conditions
decidedly uncomfortable for the SOL
diers who were compelled to prepare
their Supper mess" on q large barge
where their equipment is pitched.
They use no tents, the wharf boats
being occupied as dormitory.

Aubun, n. Y. April 4.-Riots at the
Columbia Pope plant were renewed
today, the police firing one round
above the heads of the strikers. and
when again attacked. they fired into
the crowd. Six strikers, two women
and four men, were dropped, and two

After the shooting the situation be-
came SO serious that Mayor O'Neill
called out the fire department and the
militia company. The mob. all for
eigners, gathered in the vicinity of the
plant at o'clock this morning. The
chief of police and a squad of thirty
officers were stationed there. They at
tempted to arrest one leader of the
mob and the strikers became ugly. A
prisoner was rescued from the police
in hand-to-hand battle and the blue
coats were getting the worst of it.
when the chief ordered them to draw
their revolvers. One volley was fired
over the heads Of the strikers with no
effect. and the police were compelled

Session.

Washington. April mo matter
how much the president and party
leaders in both houses Of congress
may try to keep the currency ques-
ton subordinate to the tariff. that
subject will come up for consideration
as one of the questions that must be
disposed OF at the earlies day possi-
BILE consistent with its Importance
Senators and members Of the house
on measure dealing with one phase OF
another of the currency question.
1t is known that at least six differ
ent concrete propositions in the shape
of bills will be introduced the day the
extraordinary session is ready fol
work. =. l..
Senator Owen and Representative
Carter Glass. chairmen of the COM
mittees of the two houses dealing
with currency questions, have prepar-
ed bills that stand for their respective
views as to what the situation re-
quires. The other bills will represent
the individual views of those repre-
senting them, and these individual
bills are not confined to members OF
the currency committees. When these
measures are referred to the proper
committees their consideration will be
proceeded with.
Opportunity in the Senate.
Especially is it true that in the SEN
ate opportunity for consideration will
present itself at an early day. The
house will be dealing with the tariff,
and during the waiting interval the
senate currency committee will give
the measures submitted to it careful
attention. In this matter the senate
does not have to wait upon he house
to initiate legislation. 1t can begin in
the senate as we'll as in the house. In
the senate. therefore. consideration of
the currency question undoubtedly
will become a subject matter for con-
sideration almost from the day the
session commences.
Details of Owen Bill Kept Secret.
The details of the bill Senator Owen
is working upon have been carefully
guarded. 1t will not be made public
until introduced in the senate. To a
number of his colleagues Mr.. Owen
has expressed preference for some
form of central control. but whatever
may be the extent of that control. he
insists that it shall he by the, federal

changes Should Have Supervision.

Albany N. Y. April IA plea for
the passage Of bill to compel the
incorporation Of stock exchanges and
to subject them to executive and ju-
dicial control was made to the senate
judiciary committee today by Samuel
Cntermyer who said he appeared at
the suggestion of Governor Sulzer.
The mere act of Incorporation, unac-
companied by supervision and regula-
ton. Mr.. Untermyer said, would be
worse than useless.
Mr.. Untermyer declared that the
Stilwell-Levy Incorporation bill passed
by the assembly and now before the
senate, was "hopelessly ineffective.'>
He added that none of the stock exc
change reform measures pending.
which are designed to suppress and
punish manipulation, wash sales and
matched orders, can be accomplished
without incorporation and supervision
by state authority.
