MORGAN FORTUNE
OVERESTIMATED
BY international News Service.

BY International News Service,
NEW YORK, March 31.-While fnan-
cial experts estimated today that the
fortune of J. p, Morgan would total all
the way up TO 5000. 900. 900, the Interna-
tional News Service understands that the
fnanciePs will, when read, will reveal q
fortune much less than S30,000,000.
Charts submitted by the Puto commit
tee at the money trust hearing showed
that Mr.. Morgan and associates domi-
mated corporations with $4,000. 900. 600 OF
resources
Best informed bankers and those. in
position 10 have a pretty fair knowledge
OF his fortune. stated that estimates OF
the financial commanders fortune. when
placed at from $4,000, 900 to 5000. 00o. 900,
would prove TO be an eXaggera ton.
When j. p. Morgan's father died he
left fortune OF some $40 900, 600, which
was distributed among three heirs. The
formation and promotion OF the United
States Steel corporation Is believed to
have resulted In enlarging his fortune
more than any other OF his numerous
deals
