Indianapolis, Ind, March 29.--In-

Dayton, Ohio, March 29.-It is
now estimated that the loss of life

200, and may even be less. This in
formation was brought back by life
savers who penetrated nearly every
section of the city.
These reports conflict with the es-

last night. They placed the number
of dead at 500. They reported
eighty-two bodies had been recovered
and now are at various places in the

The loss of life is confined almost
entirely to North Dayton, inhabited
by foreigners and laborers; West
Dayton, which comprises districts of
a more substantial character, and to

Son Takes Up Burdens.
New York, March 81. P. Morgan,
Jr., has been in active control of his
fathers affairs for several years, so
that Morgan enterprises will not be
disturbed by the death of the great
financial king. Many years ago he
made preparations for his death and
the taking over of his business.
]. p. Morgan was the controlling
factor in a series of big industrial cor
porations, railroads, life insurance
companies and banks. Among the i'm
portant industrial combinations effect
ed by the Morgan company WAS the
United States Steel corporation and
the Harvester company. Most of the
large combinations in industry in the
United States were made with the as
sistance of the Morgan firm during
the years from 1901 to 1909, during
the administration of Col. Roosevelt
For years the mighty name of Nor
gan has dominated Americas finances
The smile of the monarch made I'M
bnowns money princes. His irown
endorsed market leaders. Standing
out in the memories of all Americans
are many incidents in the Morgan ca
reer, but chief is his gruff declaration:
This country's affairs are sound"
during the financial panic of the
Roosevelt administration in 1907
when it was at its high water mark
and banks were collapsing like houses
OF cards throughout the country.
This was really the last big victory
of Morgan. After normal conditions
had been restored, he sent for his son,
J. p. Morgan, Jr., and began the trans
ferring of the burden of his affairs to
younger shoulders. And it was not
the imperious emperor of former years
that withstood the Untermyer grilling
before the money trust inquisitors in
Washington last winter, but an old
man. a very old man.
j. p Morgan was 76 years old.
