|SON FOR
SUPREMACY IN
MONEY WORLD
j. P. Morgan, JrY Who Has Kept
in the Background, Now to
Forge to Front.
BY 3. C. FORBES.

J. p. Morgan. Jr., is not second
p. MORGAN. But he is not a cipher.
He has studiousIy kept in the back
ground during the life of his father,
ybom he worshiped. He now, how
yer. will assert himself.
There will be need for aggressive
action. need for strong arm to direct
he firms affairs, need for fighter.
A battle of banking giants is brew
ma. J. p. Morgan G. Co. will figure
n il. Kuhn, Loeb G. Co. will seek %
oroe ahead. Speyer G. Co. will not
,s idle. Other firms talked of as
kelly to come to the front are Lazard
-reres, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and
,erhaps H. 3. Hollins G. Co.
II will be a battle of races as we'll
,s bankers. The stakes are enor-
nous.
The Morgan firm will be handi-
,apped in a way the public could not
ave suspected until the publication
q the statement concerning the slim.
ness of ]. p. Morgan's fortune. Had
Mr.. Morgan utilized his millions in
the purchase of income bearing seou-
-itiss he could have bequeathed them
20 his family, and this capital would
have been Of infinite value to the firm
.n any contest for banking supremacy.
But Mr.. Morgan had. especially lat-
.e-ly. regal contempt for person Al
5ain. He spent the greater part of
his fortune on art. in antiquarian re-
search. in phiIanthropy-the number
Of millions he gave 10 his faVorite
hospital may never be revealed.
Instead Of bringing in money, Mr..
Morean's purchases will cost money
to maintain. Their disposition is a
question now exciting keen interest.
The Morgan firm. consequently, does
not own nearly so many millions as
had been imagined Mr.. Morgan told
the Pujo Committee that il was char
ac;er. not cash, that counted. In Mr..
Morgsns own case this was emf
rsntIy true. Nor are any other mem
bsrs OF the Morgan house tremen-
dousy rich Not one is efasssd as a
wultimllionaire. There are no 5a-
kers, or Stillnans. or Sehffs, or Spey-
srs in the partnership. Although the
profits Of the firm ran into many
millions in certain years, it is we'll
knewn that Mr.. Morgan drew the
lions share. ~ am the firm you
will remember he told inquisitors.

PLAN STATE FEDERATION
OF EDUCATION BOARDS

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 20.-In order
20 establish closer relations than now
exist, federation of the county
boards of education. embracing the
twenty-one counties of the State. will
be formed at a meeting to be held
in the Supreme Court room in the
State House at II o'clock next Sat-
urday morning. 1t is hoped that with
the aid of such federation opposi-
ton to legislation calculated to bene-
fit certain counties, which in the
past has been fatal to such legislation,
will be removed, and that spirit of
cooperation will grow up and be bene-
fetal to the State as a whole.
Before the Legislature is asked to
pass bills relating to educational mat
ters these will be thoroughly dis
cussed at federation meetings. A
large representation of all the county
boards of education will attend the
meeting.

when the flames reached their rooms.
The indications are that the mother
and children slept in one room and
the two men in another room. Why
the men did not go to the rescue is
not known, but it is believed that in
the excitement they thought the
women and children were safe. The
bed in the room occupied by the men
showed that it had been slept in.
According to the firemen, the build
ing had been burning fully fifteen
minutes before an alarm was turned
in. When they entered the room Mrs.
Cembrola and her children were
dead At first only the bodies of the
mother and infant were found. Chief
Gerstung made a thorough search of
the room for the body of Rosina. Fiji
teen minutes later. after crawling UNI
der the bed. he found the body be-
tween the bed and crib, buried un-
der mass of fallen plaster. The
garments of Mrs. Cembrola and the
infant were completely burned from
their bodies. Rosina's clothing was
practically untouched by flames.
Her foot. which protruded from un-
der the plaster, was the only part of
her burned
Chief Gerstung telephoned to John
F. Martin, morguekeeper, as soon as
the bodies were found. When Mr..
Martin reached the scene the stair
way had fallen in. Ladders were
placed to the window by firemen and
the three bodies lowered to the ground
by ropes and taken to the morgue.
The chief said today that he
thought an exploding oil lamp was
the cause of the fire.

JAMES WARNS OF
'ROUGHNECK' GHOST
Tells of Gangster and Pick
pocket in Land of
Spirits.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-A great step
forward in psychic research, in the
opinion of students of that subject,
has been taken by Professor James
H. Hyslop in the discovery of
"poltergeist," which occupies posi-
ton in the spirit world very similar
to gangsters. hoodlums and rough
necks" in the realm of flesh and
blood.
At q, seance attended by DIR. Hyslop
and others this ''poltergeist'' not only
made itself obstreperous by throwing
articles at the medium and audience,
but also picked the pocket of one
man, taking twenty-five cent piece
therefrom.
The exact significance of these I'M
usual and uncomfortable phenomena
was a mystery to DR.. Hyslop and his
associates until the spirit of the late
Professor William James, who occu-
pied the chair of philosophy at Har-
ward, explained that a malicious
''poltergeist" was at the bottom of
the matter.
When Professor James's spirit came
to the relief of the rather tense stu
alton that had arisen through the I'M
seemly conduct of the "poltergeist,
the late professor of philosophy was
asked who the disagreeable potter
geist'' had been in the world of mate
rial things.
At first the name, as given by Pro-
fessor Jamess spirit, was read as
Balzac and then as Goethe. Suisse
quently it was learned the interpre-'
tation had been incorrect in both
cases and neither famous man of let
tiers is now suspected of disorderly
conduct or stealing the quarter. 1t
was finally established that the
"poltergest" formerly was one
"Fechner."
An account of the rowdyism of this
"Fechner'' is given by DIR. Hyslop in
an article he has written for the
Journal of the Psychical Research
Society. The seance in question was
at the home of the Rev. DR.. X"
After there had been some table tip
pings and levitations it was decided
TO see if any translation of objects"
could be had. BY that is meant re-
moval, by spirits, of objects from
one room to another.
Doors were closed again and the
lights turned OUT DR.. Hyslop writes.
I'm a few moments something fell,
sounding like two objects. Up went
the lights and within few feet of
each other were two pairs of scissors
which belonged in another room. The
next were a nail cleaner and the
bows knife both from the room IN
stars.
I'm the next experiment the boy
suddenly exclaimed that he was cut.
The light was turned up and his
right thumb was bleeding at the root
of the nail and the chair on which
he was sitting was found to have a
neat slit in the leather covering.
Presently razor blades were thrown
Into the room, the electric light bulbs
were smashed with a violently
thrown stone and book was hurled
against the boys head.
