Resumption Of the Great Fake.

The converting of congress in it's

this country.
Many of our readers have received
from time to time copies of speeches
purporting to have been delivered by
some senator or congressman in Wash

Some of these speeches were actually

Sentiment

New York Jan. 3.-The withdrawal

tions, and the statement soon after-
ward by George +. Baker, an almost
equally dominant figure in American
finance, that he soon would take sim

ly thrill which almost brought trad

no advance knowledge Of what was
taking place in the inner councils of
the greatest OF all American houses
of finance. Wherever telephone and
tickle. flashed the news about the
street, groups OF men gathered to
discuss the all-absorbing topic.
Mr.. Morgan, departing from his
firms traditional policy OF silence,
made public statement announcing
the withdrawal OF five members of j.
p. Morgan & Co. from directorships
in q corporations and the intention
TO withdraw from more.
J. f. Morgan made this statement:
The necessity OF attending many
board meetings has been so serious
a burden upon our time that we have
long wished 10 Withdraw from the di-
rectorates Of many corporations.
Most OF these directorships We have
accepted with reluctance, and only
because we feit constrained TO keep
in touch with properties which we
have reorganized, or whose securi-
ties we had recommended to the pub
lie, both here and abroad, An appar-
ent change in public sentiment in re-
gard to directorships seems now to
warrant us in seeking to resign from
some of these connections. Indeed
II may be, in view OF the change in
sentiment upon the subject, that we
shall be in a better position TO serve
such propertise and their security
holders If we are not directors. We
have already resigned from the COM
panies mentioned and we expect
from time TO time to withdraw from
other boards upon which we feel
there is no special obligation to re-
main.
