Washington, Feb. 27.r-A general
denial OF the existence or possibli-
ty Of money trust was presented
to the house money trust committee
today in a long letter sent by J. p.
Morgan and Company, at the invita-
ton of the committee. Upon the re-
eeipt of the Morgan letter, Chairman
Pujo gave out a letter written to
Morgan and Company saying that the
investigation Of Morgan and Com
pany had been ended January 27 and
the committee had been at work on
its report for a month.
"Your memorandum, the reply
concluded, manifestly comes too
late to be Of value"
The Morgan letter laid at the door
of the present banking and currency
laws the responsibility for any con
centration7 of money and credit that
may exist.
In its conclusions as to the COM
mittee's activities the letter said:
I'VE venture to submit that in a
strong public opinion these lies the
greatest safeguard of the commun-
ity. The public are the ones who
entrust bankers with such influence
and power as they today have in ev-
cry civilized land and the public is
unlikely to entrust that power to
weak or evil hands. Your counsel
asked witnesses whether the present
power held by bankers in this coun-
try would not be menace If it lay
in evil hands. If congress were to
fall into evil hands the results might
be deplorable. But to us it seems as
little likely that the citizens of this
country will fill congress " tn ras-
Gals as it is that they will entrust
the leadership of their rus'ness and
financial affairs to set of clever
rogues."
The letter says that such concen-
tration Of money in New York as has
occurred is due to the "antiquated
banking system" and the natural law
which lin every country creates
some one city as the great financial
center"
That part of the money trust reso-
lution declaring that it is generally
believed that groups Of financiers
create avert and compose panics was
particularly attacked by the letter
Morgan and Company set forth that
anv withholding Of money credit by
one man in any market would pc
promptly relieved by the automatic
flow Of credit from some altogether
foreign source.
we regret said the letter, that
a belief so incredible, so abhorent
and SO harmful to the country should
for moment have found lodgment
anywhere. And we welcome your
investigation as an opportunity to
state that in the extent Of our ohser-
vations and experience, there is not
even vestige of truth In the idea
that in whole or in part the financial
convulsion of 1907 was brought on
through the design OF any man or
men"

WANTS COURTS TO
KEEP HANDS OFF
SENATE COMMITTEE THINKS
PEOPLE SHOULD DETERMINE
OWN COMMERCE POLICY.

Washington Feb. 27.--rae senate
commerce committee preseeted re-
port today, vigorously attacking the
supreme court rule of reason in
decisions on case IS chart,as restraint
Of trade under the sherman law. The
report points out the dangers of "un-
controlled and unguided judicial dis
cretione and makes emphatic de-
demand for an amendment Of the
Sherman law to remove from the
courts the power to determine what
are reasonable restraints of trade,
The committee recommends new
laws to define exactly what combina-
tions are unlawful: also a federal in
terstate corporation commission,
with power to supervise corporations
pass on combinations and take over
the work Of dissolving illegal corpor
ations The report was written by
Senator Cummins,
"The people Of this country will
not permit the courts to declare a
policy for them in respect to this
subject" says the report. 1T is in
conceivable that in country govern
ed by q written constitution and
statute law. courts can be permitted
to test each restraint Of trade by The
economic standard which the indi
yidual members Of tue court may hap
! pen to approve"
