New York, April 19,---.'I commit
my soul into the hands of the
Savior with full confidence that
having redeemed it and washed II
in his most precious blood, will pre-
sent It faultless before the throne of

once offered. and through that
alone
This extraordinary utterance be-
gins the last will and testament of
the late j. Pierpont oMrgas which
will be offered for probate Monday
morning.
As to the amount of the estate
there is nothing in the will to give
any accurate idea. The amount OF
the beneficences and trust named by
specified sums is under $40, 900.
but the entire residue of the estate
is left to j. Pierpont Morgan, Jr.,
who is designated by his father to be-
come not only chief herr to bus to
further his fathers many pnilan-
thropic and artistic activities.
In this city, the question fre-
quently asked by leading citizens
and learned societies has been that
as to the. disposition of Morgan e
wonderful collection of pictures and
other<art treasurers.
To make plain, he had hoped to
make disposition of them as would
render them available for the in
struction and pleasure of American
people but lack of time prevented
him from carrying this purpose into
effect.
He gives his art collection to his
son but expresses the hope that 1t
will be made available for all the
public.
rust funds of sS,000,O00 are left
each of the children and the widow
is. given trust funds of one million
in addition to additional funds TO
make her income 100000 and in
terest from heavy trust funds.
The sum of 100000 is given for
the support of the ministry of st.
Georges Protestant Episcopal
church of New York and s100. 600
for the support of Episcopal missions
in New York city.
An annual income of 100000 il
given to the Lying In hospital OF
New York and numerous rich be-
quests to personal friends and pri-
vate charities.

PNEUMONIA CURE .
FOUND IN A TEST
Of Double GERM
Research Detects Bacillrs and Rookie.
fellerg Physician Will Give
Serum to Public.

New York. April IA serum for
the cure of pneumonia has been de-
veloped at the Rockefeller Research
Institute and will soon be given to
the public. according to an an
nouncement made today by DR..
Clarence McWilliams, one of the
medical experts attached to the in
stitute.
Many tests lasting over a consid-
cradle portion of time have been
made of the serum, and 1t has been
established that 1t is certain cure
for all forms of pneumonia, accord
ing to the announcement. The
discovery is considered to be one of
The most important ever made,
The unknown obstacle which has
for wears bafried scientists in their
search for serum for the cure of
pneumonia and the discovery of
which enable the bacterioists of the
Rockefeller Institute to perfect such
a serum, was the finding short
time ago that the pneumococcus
bacillus is responsible for pneu-
monia. and that this bacillus, or or
ganism. consists of two separate
strains, each of which causes pneu-
monia.
1t was later learned that the
disease, whether caused by one
form of bacillus or the other, fol-
lows the same general line of
progress. rendering them similar to
all outward appearances, but 1t was
found that serum which would
cure pneumonia resulting from one
specie of bacillus would not cure or
appreeiably affect the other form. u
The serum was obtained in the
usual way, by inoculating a horse
with gradually increasing amounts
of pneumococcus bacillus until the
animal was immune to tremendous
doses. After the finding Of the
separate forms of bacillus sets OF
horses we're inoculated with the dir
ferent forms, and In this manner
Etwo serums were obtained.
By subjeeting mice to injections
of the sputum of pneumonia
lpatients, the form of disease from
which they were suffering was de-
termined, and then the proper
serum was administered.
| This determination can be made
within twenty-four hours, and the
particular serum required is quick
ly and easily injected into the veins.
1t is hoped to combine the serums
within short time, to obviate the
necessity of waiting to analyze the
sputum before making tn injec-
ton.

5 men KILLED

IN EXPLOSION
Dynamite Charge Goes Of" Unex-
pectedly and Fatalities Result
Among the Worknen.

Panama, April ia premature
explosion of dynamite occurred this
afternoon between Pedro Miguel
lock and the Mirahores lock of the
Panama Canal. Three men were
killed and % injured.
Dynamite to the amount of 2lO0
pounds filled 96 drill holes and "let
60" The electric wires were not
attached and the only reason given
for the explosion seems to be that
sulphur at this point generated heat.
The explosion occurred just the
moment that the notification had
been sent to the firemen that every.
thing was ready for the blast.
