up Ia the time Of his death Mr.. Nor.
gan gave more 80 his time than 10 amy
other business matter When the tor
porati0n was launched he WIS very
bitterly criticised for the extravaganza
OF its capitalization. II was charged
that the common stock of $'1".0upiHs

nothing more or less than getting some
thing for nothing When In the depres

and the stock sold down 10 : after hay
ing been launched NJ 80 the criticisms
became extremely bitter and spread ri
over the world
There Is no doubt that Mr.. Morgan
felt these criticisms more keeniy than
he did any other attack ever made
upon him, even in the period of bitter
ness and misunderstanding following
the Cleveland bond issues. Ii was ac-
cordingly one OF the happiest days Of
Mr.. Morgan's life when In 1906 the
company was able TO resume dividends
,n its common stock and resume them
under such conditions as TO give good
assurance of permanency.
In the two years when no dividend
was paid the company had appropriat.
ed from earnings very large sums for
new construction. aud long before Mr..
Morgan's death was able TO show that
IL had put into new construction at
least S35O.OoO.OOO. representing actual
fixed value for the common stock in
addition TO what II had NJ the time OF
the company's organization.
Mr.. Morgan was the first American
banker to handle foreign loan. re.

How Much Was He Worth Z

Many estimates OF Mr.. Morgans
wealth have been made. II has never
been suggested that IL was as great as
John H. Iockefcllcr's. whose fortune
is often appraised at a billion. The
average guess on the Morgan fortune
Is SJOO.UO.O00. Others range all the
way from S2J0.O00OOO TO $15O.O00.OOO
One guess is probably rs good as an
other.
People who 20 into statistics have
liked To compile tables showing the
Morgan resources One Of them re-
Gently demonstrated 10 his satisfaction
that MIR Morgan controlled financial
institutions aud corporations with re-
sources of SiI.00O.OJr.000. The table
was imposing. but the so called table
of resources was n table OF capitaliza-
tion of all companies In which Mr.. Nor
gan had influence
Mr. Morgan himself was director
in but three important railroad sys-
tens. New York Central. New York.
New Haven and Hartford and Erie.
Erie was under his control. but the
New Haven had Kuhn. Loeb X Co. as
fiscal agents and II was only as fiscal
agent of the Central and through asso-
citation with the Nanderbilts that Nor
gan's influence was important there.
He was not railroad manager He
knew nothing about traffic" he once
testified. but exercised influence In

His Railroad Interests.

The Morgan firm was In control OF
the Southern Railway and was influ-
cntial In the Northern Pacific. the Bur
lington and the Atchison. Mr. Morgan
was also regarded as the most intlu.
ential person In the Reading. Lehigh
Valley and Jersey Central. and in the
anthracite trade generally. He assisted
In the financing Of various transit and
tunnel lines In New York city.
The only other important Morgan
transportation company is lnternation-
al Mercantile Marine. one OF the less
successful of the Morgan promotions.
The British government at the start
dealt the combination hard blow by
subsidlzing the Cunard line and thus
keeping il out of the combine.
