MORGAN DENIES
A MONEY TRUST
Flnancler Declares Such a ST.
uation Impossible.
NUMEROUS DEALS GONE INTO
Witness Does Not Admit "Havina
Vast Power" and Declares "He
Does Not Feel IT,"

Washington, Dec. 20.-"There could
be no money trust All the banks and
all the money in Christendom could
not control money. The question of
control Is personal as to money and
credits" declared J. Pierpont Morgan
to the house money trust investigat-
ing committee
The financier was led up to his an
swer by the questioning of Samuel
Untermyer, counsel for the commit
tee, who asked Mr. Morgan IF he did
not feel his vast power"
Mr.. Morgan answered that he did
not admit he had vast power and did
not feel it.
Once when the lawyer and the wit
ness got into a discussion of compe
tition and combination Mr.. Morgan
said:
"Pd rather have combination than
competition. like a little competi-
ton, but l like combination better.
Control is the important thing, but no
one man could monopolize money
One man might get control of rail
roads or merchandise, but never
money or credit"
Has Voice in Steel Control.
Mr.. Morgan testified that he had
approved the prices at which the sub
salaries of the United States Steel
corporation were taken into the big
corporation. Mr. Untermyer asked IL
he had not named the board of direc-
tors of the United States Steel cor
poration, but Mr.. Morgan only said
he might have decided who should
not go en-"
His holdings of certain bank stocks
he characterized as mot very much
about a million dollars" When a laugh
went around the financier joined in
heartily Once when his voice got
hoarse, his daughter, Mrs. Herbert L.
Sstterlee, gave him a throat tablet
Mr.. Morgan, surrounded by nearly a
dozen of his partners and attorneys,
answered all questions with apparent
freedom. He agreed that through
voting trusts" several of which
existed in his company, few trustees
could name the directors, who, in
turn would name the officers OF great
Interstate industrial or railroad cor.
porations.
Morgan System Best.
Omnipotence of his firm in issuing
securities of railroads, such as the
New York Central and New York,
New Haven and Hartford was also re-
cited by the financier. He declared
his opinion that the Morgan system
was best for the companies and for
the public as well. He denied that
better results would be secured from
free open competitive marketing of
such securities.
Morgan's story of steel gripped his
hearers, who crowded, with bated
breaths, nearer the banker as he
talked OF billions.
The banker declared the Morgan
achievements in organizing the steel
trust were without written contracts
Just mere correspondence.
The banker glibly told of naming
Judge E. H. Gary chairman of the
steel directors He also admitted that
the prices at which constituent plants
forming the giant corporation were
bought. were absolutely fixed by him
