OLD LAW SUIT
 SETTLED YESTERDAY
CASE OF GABE MEYER EFT AL. VS. M'DILL HEIRS, EFT AL, SETTLED
 IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANTS.
Case Was Unique and Had Been Pend-
 ing in the Court For the Past Two Years and Half.

In the Lincoln Chancery Court yes terday Judge J M. Elliott rendered a decree in favor of the defendant in the, case of Gabe Meyer, ct al, plain tiff, versus E. F. McDill, ct al, de- fendants, in which the plaintiff had sued for the sum of $1,228.50 with interest at per cent from March IA, 1881.
 The case has been in court for over two and half years and is consider ed interesting by members of the bar.
 The suit was brought after the de- fendants had purchased a piece of land from Matthew F.. McDill on which he had only life estate. At his death the land reverted to his heirs and they were sued to obtain the purchase price and interest from the date of sale. Though the land was sold in 1881, McD1l did not die until 1908 and during that time the purchasers retained possession. Upon his death Ihis heirs deposed the plain tiffs by a writ of ejectment.
 The claim of the plaintiff was bas- ed upon an alleged breach of coven- ant of warranty contained in the deed from Matthew F. McDill. Upon tha death of McDill the plaintiffs were barred from recovering any damages as the heirs could not be held liable.
 Attorneys Caldwell and Brockman represented the defendants and Craw- ford and Hooker the plaintiffs.

CAPITAL SAFE IN M0RCAN'S HANDS Money Kings Would Not Use Their Great Wealth
 For Evil.
BIG BANKERS LAUDED
George F. Bakers Testimony Before PnjO Committee Covers Every
 Phase of Big Ensiness."
(By James J. Montague)

Washington, D. C., Jan. 1O.-With the assertion that present combina- tions of capital are safe only because l1 the personnel of the men holding them and avowing his belief that such combinat tions have gone quite far enough, George F. Baker, today con cluded a statement before the Pujo Committee that covered almost every phase of his vast business interests and required two days for the tell ing.
 Baker pointed to Morgan as the great general commanding the finan- cial forces of America, placing him. self with James Stillman of the Nat ional City Bank as second in rank and Morgans chief aides in quieting the panic Of 1907 He denied the existence of a Money Trust but he admitted that if with such control of the sit uation as is held by Morgan Stillman, himself and a few others should fall into bad hands, business would be imperiled. The present pyramiding of prosperity upon personalities he ad- mitted is uncomfortable.
 Morgan, Stillman, Baker, Kuhn Loeb and Company, have community of interest that move them to offer each other shares 5insevery important stock promotion enterprise any of them undertake," he said. The Chi cago City Railways deal undertaken jointly with two big Chicago banks, is an instance of this relation. He re- garded any securities coming to him as all right if they came from Nor gan.
 Just once Baker was at variance with Morgan. That was when he an- nounced that collateral and not char acter was the basis for making loans in Wall street and that nobody of whatever character could get money without collateral. Morgan testified that character and not collateral was the basis for loans. The First Nation ai Bank of which Baker is the actual head, he said, owns the First Security Company and through that company owns great interests in many railroads and industrial corporations.
 The bank has been in many joint transactions with the National City Bank of which Stillman, Bakers fel- low-Morgan lieutenant, was the head up to the time of his practical retire. ment.
 Baker said he is on.the board of directors or on the voting trust of all the coal carrying roads, including the Erie, Lehigh Valley. Jersey Central, Lackawanna, Reading, Pennsylvania and through his directorship in the New Haven, Ontario and Western. He had only the vaguest remembrance of the formation of the Temple Iron Com pany, the instrument used to form the coal trust by buying the coal mines.
 Baker became director of the Steel Trust and the Harvester Trust he said by accepting election to these offices, notice of which was sent him by cablegram from Europe. He under. stood that Morgan sent these tele- grams. ..
