The younger Morgan's test came in

the control Of the Northern Pacific the
younger Morgan was field marshal
with no shouting and dancing around

HOHN PIERPONT MORGAN, who
was shot by a crank at Glen
n Cove, N. Y, succeeded his IA
Their at the head of the great
international banking firm when the
latter died in 1918. The younger Nor
gan, an only son, had had long
training under his father and was con-
s1dered fully able to carry on the pol
icies Of the house. He was born in
New York in 1867, graduated from
Harvard in 1889 and was married in
1890 to Miss Jane Norton Grew. There
are two sons and two daughters. The
older son, Junius Spencer Morgan, born
In 1892, was married on June Is Of this
year to Miss Louise G. Converse.
In his forty eight years Of life J. P.
Morgan grew into remarkable dupli-
cate Of his father. The resemblance
extended to facial appearance, to build
and even to the tones Of the voice, the
manner Of carrying himself and the
gait Of walking. The few persons who
have been intimately associated with
him in business have found In him his
fathers quiet promptness in making
great decisions, the same intolerance

exterior. It was the morning after
burglars had entered the Morgan house
On Madison avenue New York, and
taken several thousands Of dollars
worth of jewelry and money. Mr..
Morgan rushed into the office Of his
partner, Henry P. Dawson, and
shouted:
''Has anybody got a stickpin or a
watch? By George, I haven't got a
thing! They cleaned me out-cleaned
me out completely!' .... 49,
Then he noticed a stranger present,
and his jaw shut. Without a word he
disappeared through the door, and it
was not until the police sent out an

several days later that the visitor real
lied he had been listening to the story
Of real burglary.
Father Had Confidence In Him.
1t was known long before the death
Of the older Morgan that he held great
confidence in the ability Of his son.
But not until the panic Of 1907 did
Wall street realize how completely the
younger man had taken over his IA
theirs burdens. Big as the old man
doomed up in those days of giant sal
wage, there was no one among the group
Of men who piled barriers and cut
bikes under his orders who doomed
bigger than ]. Pierpont Morgan, Jr.
It was seen that his father accepted
his bulletins Of the situation with more
confidence and approval than those of
any Of the other bankers, though near.
~ all Of them were older men of great
experience.
The younger Morgan's city home in
New York is house on the northern
corner of the block on Madison avenue
which is the site of the home and pri
