He calmly stretches himself on the

receiving a serious wound suffers no

THE LATE PIERPoNT MORGAN.
Felt these criticisms more keenly 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
on 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, and long before Mr..
Morgan's death was able to show that
1t had put into new construction at
least $350,0O0,OO0, representing actual
fixed value for the common stock I'm
addition to what ii had at the time of
the company's organization
Mr.. Morgan was the first American
banker to handle n foreign loan, re-
funding the Mexican governments
debt Of $110.000.O00 in 1890. Since that
time few foreign loans had been placed
here until the last year. Now all the
international banking houses consider
1t as important from the standpoint of
the country's prosperity to place Amer
ican money abroad as to have foreign
money here

Some Very Interesting Facts About the Ford

At a meeting of the Adcraft club in
Detroit, Mich, lat week. N. A. Baw.
kins, general sales manager of the
Ford Motor Co., gave an interesting
talk on what it means to manufacture
200, 600 complete motor cars i'm twelve
months. His story, bristling with
figures. was full of the romance OF
business. Ten years az, the company
was capitalized at $2S, 200 and did an
annual business of $500, 600 Today
it is the largest motor car factory in
the world; has capitalization of $50, :
900 900 and sells annually 5000, 000..

vice the gross receipts of the Grand
Trunk railway system for the same
month. In the last four months we
lid a business of nearly $50, 900, 00O
and two of these four months were not
real good ones. He further stated,

men, lot an executive head has been

none too brilliant student. when the
London banking house was established
and the family moved abroad The
son was graduated from the University
of Goettingen i'm 1857.
From the university young Morgan
went into the London banking house
for two years. He then came to New
York and entered the employ Of Dun
can, Sherman & Co. In the year of the
outbreak Of the civil war he helped to
organize and became member of the
firm Of Dabney. Morgan & Co With
this firm he remained until 1860
After nine years Of hiding his light
under bushel Mr.. Morgan emerged In
1869 as an antagonist of Jay Gould and
James Fisk, who at the zenith of their
power were busily engaged in exploit
ing the Erie. AS a tributary to the
trunk line they went after the Albany
and Susquehanna, a road in bad finan-
cial condition then. with its stock sell
ing at rs cents on the dollar. but as
events proved-for I'm 1909 ii paid an
extra dividend Of $50 a share-a road
of great intrinsic value. Mr.. Morgan
had studied its possibilities as had
they. He turned up at the stockhold-
ers meeting with stock control, though
not until the time of the meeting had

that their operation was opposed, least

One Long Legal Fight.
There followed legal fight. but IL
MIR. Gould had no trouble In securing
appointment of receiver from the
Tweed judges Morgan and his associ-
ates were equally successful In getting
their own receiver named by an up
state judge. What was more to the
point, the Morgan people persuaded
Governor Hoffman to protect their re-
ceiver by calling out the militia.
During part Of the contest the stock
transfer books were hidden in an
empty tomb In an Albany cemetery.
There were as many as twenty-five
lawsuits, but In the end the Morgan
party triumphed, leased the road to
the Delaware and Hudson. which still
controls 1t, and soon saw stock they
had bought at 25 cents a share go
above par.
The Drexels of Philadelphia had no
New York house, and the financial pri-
macy Of Philadelphia, which waned
with the decline Of Jay Cooke, had al
ready passed to New York. They were
impressed with Mr.. Morgan's achieve
ment In Albany and Susquehanna, took
him in as partner and placed him In
charge Of the New York house of the
reorganized firm of Drexel, Morgan &
Co. Mr.. Morgan did business under
this firm name until 1896, although two
years before he had become senior part

How Much Was He Worth /?

Many estimates Of Mr.. Morgan's
wealth have been made. 1t has never
been suggested that 1t was as great as
John ID. Rockefeller's. whose fortune
is often appraised at a billion. The
average guess on the Morgan fortune
rs $5O0,000,000. Others range all the
way from $25O,0OO,OOO to $75O,OOO, ,OOO
One guess is probably as good as an
other.
People who go into statistics have
liked to compile tables showing the

1t was in the panic of 1898 and in
the two or three years following that
the Morgan office became known as the
hospital for crippled railroads. Chaun-
cey NJ Depew dubbed Mr.. Morgan the
doctor of Wall street." and the name
stuck for several years or until the pa
tients were all out of Mr. Morgan's
care. Many OF them Mr. Morgan re-
fused to discharge from the hospital
with clean bills Of health for several
years. These cases were those In
which it was deemed necessary for the
bankers supplying the money to retain
control of the properties so as to see
how the money was spent. There orig
mated in this way the voting trust
method Of control.
The organization of the United States
Steel corporation, with it's capitaliza-
tion of $1.300,O 100000, then as now the
biggest company in the world. was the
greatest Of Mr.. Morgan's achievements.
yet the negotiations, tremendously diff
ficult and complicated though they
were, were carried through with unex-
ampled speed.
