Operation Performed on Finan-
cier for Appendicitis.
QUICK RECOVERY EXPECTED
Physicians Assert Banker Is RESTING
fortably-Illness Not Result
of Shooting by Frank Holt
Last July.

New York. Nov. ii P. Morgan
underwent an operation on Friday for
appendicitis at his country home, Glen
Cove, Long Island. The operation was
reported successful and Mr.. Morgan
is resting comfortably.
Mr.. Morgan was at his Office
Wednesday, but was indisposed Thurs
day and remained at his Glen Cove
home. His physicians discovered he
was suffering from mild attack of
appendicitis. To guard against a re-
currence the physicians decided to re-
move the financier's appendix.
The operation was performed by
Doctors Markoe, Lyle and Smith, who
reported it to have been successful in
every way and said that Mr.. Morgan
is resting comfortably. Mr.. Morgan s
general condition is so excellent that
his prompt recovery is expected.
The facts we're contained in a state
ment given out at the Office of J. P.
Morgan & Co. So far as could be
learned the operation is in no way the
result of the shooting of Mr. Morgan
by Frank Holt at Glen Cove July 8.
Mr.. Morgan has been regularly at
his office since early August. He has
been very active in business during
the last few months, especially in con-
nection with the AngIo-French loan.

BRITISH CRUISER SINKS
YACHT WITH GERMANS
Power Boat Eclipse With Fleeing Teu-
tons Destroyed by Cruiser Sydney,
Tourists Report.

Roanoke, Va, Oct 28.-Tourists re-
turning here from Bermuda say that
on October 20 officers from the Aus
tralian cruiser Sydney boarded the
liner Bermudian, about fifty miles off
Sandy Hook, N. J., on her last trip
from New York to Bermuda, and re-
ported having sunk on { ;tober 10 the
power boat Eclipse, with the six war
rant officers of the interned German
cruiser KrOnprinz Wilhelm. They
say the Sydney reported all the Ger
man officers lost. Misses Estelle and
Clemmie White, who were passengers
on the Bermudian, said that about
five o'clock on the afternoon of Octo-
Der 20 the Sydney hailed the liner and
sent officers aboard. 1t was explained
to passengers on the Bermudian that
the Sydney's officers had come aboard
to say there was no further need to
watch for the escaped German Off
GERS. They say it was generally made
known to the passengers that the
Eclipse had been sunk the day before
with all on board.

crease in the Number of Deaths
Among Persons 65 Years of
Age and Over.

Madison.-The death rate in Wis.

ter of the year, July, August and Sep

Chicago Financier Says He Did All in

Chicago Financier Says He Did All in
Power to Avert Failure.
Morris, H., Oct 29.-James B. For
gan, president of the First National
bank of Chicago, in testifying at the
trial Of Charles B. Munday, charged
with bank wrecking, declared he did
all in his power to avert the financial
ruin of William Lorimer and Munday
while the LaSalle Street National
bank was on the road to destruction.
Forgan warned them several times,
he testified, and even when this ad-
vice was unheeded he stood by them
and succeeded in prolonging their af-
fIiation with the Chicago Clearing
House association. Forgan went so
far as to say that his bank might
help HQuidate the Lorimer-M unday in
stitution and thus save the depositors
money.
Forgan proved a valuable witness
for the prosecution; despite efforts of
the defense to show he was respon-
sible for run" on the Lorimer- Mum
day bank just before it failed.

TWenty-Seven Boys and Girls Die
at Peabody, Mass.
PANIC FOLLOWS THE ALARM
Twenty Bodies Recovered From Ruins
Hundreds of Mothers Rush TO
ParochiaI Institution when
Flames Are Seen.

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 30.-Fire swept
through the three-story brick building
occupied by the st. Johns parochial
school, burning or driving to death in
the panic that followed the alarm
" Of the 600 boys and girls who a
few minutes before had assembled for
their daily lessons on Thursday.
Twenty bodies have been recovered
from the ruins. Twelve Of these bod
les were removed from the yestibule,
where the jam of terrified little ones
had resulted in the greatest loss of
life. Many others were injured in
their fight down the stairways and a
few jumped from the windows of the
third floor.
The first alarm brought a hundred
distracted mothers to the schoolyard
where soon they were joined by other
relatives Of the pupils, until the build
ing was surrounded by a great crowd
Of hystericaI men and women, who
rushed the police lines in a wild effort
to reach their children. The police
were powerless to stop the rush, but
what they failed to do was accom-
plished presently by the flames, which,
shooting from the windows of the
building, held back the throng.
The students, who ranged in years
from seven to thirteen, were in
charge of 16 sisters. When the fire
started the sisters marshaled their
charges for a fire drill and started
them from the building.
Suddenly there was a cry of fear
from one of the throng. It was taken
up by hundreds of others, and panic
ensued. The smaller children fell
under the feet of those behind them,
and soon the yestibule was so jammed
with living and dead that the fremen
could not force an entrance.
The origin of the fire remained in
doubt. Michael Dunn, who lives near
the school. said he heard a muf-
fed explosion.
A large percentage of the pupils
were children of foreign parentage. In
the number were many of Irish and
Italian descent
