came known as j. Pierpons Morgan &
Co., the most powerful banking. house,
r. America.
Mr.. Morgan's railroad operations be-
gan in 1870. In that year he organised
the Erie railroad and was at ongs rec
ognized as an active figure I'm che rail-
road world. From then on his rise was'
steady. He obtained control ct railroad
systems throughout the country an6
welded them into one great chain-thee
Morgan lines.
Mr.. Morgan came into his own, how
ever, between the panics of 1883 ana
1907. Following the narrowing days or
1893 he stepped out with following OK
wealth never before equaIed fn the his
tory of the world, and took hts place at
the head of the hosts that were scram-
bling for the meager remains Of great
financial institutions, and the wonder
full opportunities that dawning pros
perity offered.
In the IA years between the panics.
Mr.. Morgan and his allies made more
financial history than had been fur
nlshed by all the financiers of the half
century preceding. During this period
Mr.. Morgan was at his best and he alb
sorbed industry after industry. Battle
after battle was fought within the mar
row confines Of Wall street, bc1 ME-
Morgan always came out victorious.
The year Of 1907 was year Of fina1Er
oial terror. Mr.. Morgan, then g. sep
|tuagenarian, was looked upon Is am
old and broken man by his enemies
They declared that younger men must.
furnish the energy to ride out the
stress and storm of those wild days.
But Mr.. Morgan was still on tbs scene
of battle. He swept into WaM Street
and at the end of two weeks Of the
greatest financial struggle tfr4 world
has ever seen, even John d. Rockefeller
came from his quiet home to- fay his
millions at the feet of the cOUgnering
financier. This was Mr.. Morgan's.
greatest triumph and the one whicl2
pleased him most. He took advantage
of the rout, too. To repay himself for
his exertions, he gathered into his per
merger-the United States Steel conn
rany, chief rival of the steel trust.
AS a man, Mr.. Morgan was the same
physical freebooter that swept all bea-
fore in the mart of finance Blge,.
rough and bear-like in appearance, his;
manner was gruff, explosive aud at
times overbearing. PieGclng black
eyes, peering from beneath Il pair OF
dark beetling brows and a huge keaC2

made him the modern embodiment Of q
medieval border rider. A. nnse thar
would have graced "a Cyrann de Ber-
serac, huge, Dubious, augmented to u
size by disease, stood out prom

Mr.. Morgan was married twice. His
first wife lived but year after their
marriage and in 1865 he married Miss
Frances Louise Tracey. They haG
tour children, one son and three daugh-
ters. The son, J. p. Morgan. has been
