Writes on
Morgan and Markets
Report of Great Financier's Recent
Slight Illness Basis for Interestino
Comment Concerning His Relation
to the World of Money.
By B. c, FORBES

T P. MORGAN is Killed at least
|. once every year by Wall
Street. He got off lightly the
other day-he was only danger
ously ill.," with a staff of doctors
and nurses in attendance, and was
3 being hurried from Egypt to Italy.
The sober. untrimmed truth was
that Mr. Morgan had a dose of in
digestion and was fully recovered
long before the world was told that
he was at deaths door.
No human being has been dead"
so often as j. P. Morgan. Every
time he leaves the end of a tele-
graph or telephone wire his death
is announced. His son, Jack
Morgan, once facetiously replied, a
la Mark Twain, that report of his
fathers death was considerably
exaggerated"
Mondays short-lived canard was
sufficient to upset the stock market.
United States Steel shares tumbled
to a new low level for the present
movement, and the whole list be-
came sickly.
]. P. Morgan is the only finan
cier in the world whose death would
cause any serious disturbance in
our security markets.
No man quite like Morgan has
ever appeared in the worlds finan-
cial history. He has raised him.
self to a class entirely by himself.
He has no compeers, either at home
or abroad-even the head of the
Rothschild family cuts much less
conspicuous figure. Morgan's pow
er is not due solely to his wealth.
he is far from being the richest

man, though less active, next in
line.
Mr. Morgan rules through sheer
force of personality rather than
through money. He is the one man
in the country whom other f1nan-
ciers will obey without question
as was strikingly demonstrated at
the height of the 1907 panic.
No man-no six men-could fill
Morgan's shoes. His word is final
on every important matter that
comes before the Corner House
and. indeed. on nearly every vital
financial transaction that the coun-
try witnesses. lie is the supreme
court. From his decisions there is
no appeal His "No" means no,
and his Yes" means yes. And his
verdicts seldom run into two SEN
fences. He is abrupt to the point
of brusqueness. His cabed YER
diets are quite as long-or as short
as the ones he delivers when at
home. He has absolute contempt
for cable tolls.
In financial circles the question is
often asked: What will happen

How to Find Golden Number.

The Golden Number of any year
can be found by adding l to the
number representing the year in
ordinary notation. and then diyid-
ing the sum by 10, the remainder
being the Golden Number for that
year. For instance. add to 1913,
divide by 10, and the quotient is
100, with Ia remainder, and this
remainder is the Golden Number of
the year 1913. 1t shows that 1913
is the fourteenth year in a Metonic
cycle, and that five years later
there will be a new moon on jan
uary /. The date of the first full
moon of the year being known, it is
easy to calculate the dates of all
the other new and full moons that
follow, The first new moon Of this
year occurred on January 7.

Morgan is removed. They know
that, in times of crisis, the financial
community can turn to him. His
leadership is undisputed. His word
is law-even to the biggest Of his
fellow flnanciers. During the last
upheaval he issued orders to other
prominent bankers Cncluding some
classed as rivals after the manner
of a headmaster giving instructions

In the month of November, 1910,

policies the club should carry out.
Among the recommendations made by
Secretary Jordan was that state

that the club should foster the idea

At the next meeting of the club the
proposition was favorably received

A C|GARET DEALER
MAKES COMPLAINT
SAYS He Is Losing His Trade
Because Of Order of
Police.

A local cigaret dealer appeared at
police headquarters this afternoon
and asked Chief of Police Gormon the
reason that minors of this city are
able to obtain cigarets although all
cigaret dealers were warned some
time ago to stop selling them to min
ors. He stated that he has not sold
any cigarets to persons whose age was
doubtful and that they have complain
ed to him, claiming that they can get
the pills" every place else in Rich
mond except at his store.
He stated that some of his regular
trade has gone to other places to buy
articles which he has for sale because
he would not sell cigarets to those
who have not attained the age of Fl.
He believes that it is unfair that other
dealers should sell cigarets without
fear of the law.
1t is believed that the proper effort
to suppress the sale of cigarets to
minors has not been made by police
only feeble protest having been made
at the time the order was issued
against the illegal sale of cigarets.

EWCTED VlCER0Y FROM HOME
Element of Humor in Recent Action
of Petulant Government of New
South Wales.

Australia is a land of political eX.
reriments. The latest of these is the
eviction of the governor-general or
viceroy, the official representative of
the king. 1t is the government of
New South Wales that has performed
this astonishing feat, and the indigna-
tiCn which burst forth at the moment
is giving way to prolonged laughter.
Since the union of the colonies under
the name Of. the Commonwealth of
Australia, it has been the habit of the
encouragement to 1--we for part of

and for the other part at Melbourne,
Victoria, Government house at Sydney
is the property of the government of
New South Wales, having been the
residence of the governors of that col
only before the commonwealth was
formed; but the colonial government
gladly lent it to the viceroy of all Aus
tralia for the honor of his presence
in the city.
But the government of the colony
recently took offense at the proposal
of the federal government for the es-
tablishment by the commonwealth OF
a post Office savings bank, which
would have come into competition
with the New South Wales State Saw
ings bank, and rashly resolved to en-
phasize it's opposition, hoping perhaps
to brighten the federal government
from it's purpose, by resuming posses
sion of government house and thereby
turning out the governor-general. The
deed has been done and Lord Den
ham has left the city, cheered all
along the route to the railway station
by the citizens, and presented on their
behalf by the lord mayor with an ad-
dress expressing love and loyalty, con-
demning the action of the government
as an indefensive outrage on the ma
tional hospitality, and affirming the Of
