W. Kern, Of Indiana. was shocked TO-
night when told that Mr. Morgan's
wounds were regarded as serious.
81 do not know Mr.. Morgan person
ally" he said, "but should regard 1t
as a matter Of deep regret II man
so prominent in our financial life

any more now-it would be a matter
Of universal regret"
Senator Duncan L. Fletcher, OF
Florida, said: "Only one view is pos
sible-it is a grave national calamity.
| earnestly hope that the reports OF
Mr.. Morgan's condition may prove TO
be exaggerated. No one can measure
the terrible effect that his death would
have upon the country at this time,
when the nation needs men of Mr..
Morgan's patriotism and honor at the
head of its financial system.
"The man who did the deed is un-
doubtedly a crank, of the same type
as those who assassinate our presl-
dents. Unfortunately we have many
such men among US and are without
means to discover their dementia until
some such awful calamity as this has

home at Oyster Bay, said:

shot him must have been insane"
Mr.. Schif was anxious to know the
latest reports as to Mr.. Morgan's con-
dition. and expressed himself as deeply
relieved when told that they appeared
to be encouraging.
Controller William A. Prem iergast'

Fulton Cutting, who was az his

himself as shocked beyond measure.

Commenting on the shooting Of j. P.

Mr. Morgan as a man and as citizen,
but he is so well known that any COM

Mayor Mitchell said he sent mes
sage of sympathy to the Morgan family.
Never London, the Socialist Repre-
sentative, said he was extremely sorry
to hear Mr. Morgan had been shot.
81 hope it will prove to be merely the
act of a mailman" he continued. 1T
appears to have been the act OF crazy

whole nations become angry, but that Is

contagious as to travel over the seas.
Such an act shakes the foundations Of

came known that the British govern
ment, which until then had made no
formal loans here, was arranging 10
borrow from New York bankers an
amount not definitely determined, but
with a minimum of Sl00,000,OC0 and
maximum of $500, 100000. The nego-
tiations, which are still pending, are
being made through the Morgan firm.
Beginning with the outbreak Of the
war, J. P. Morgan individually has
occupied a position Of prominence IN
the financial world comparable ONLY
to that held by his father In the panic
Of 1907. When the question rose
whether the Stock Exchange should
be kept open last July, when Europe
was wildly throwing tens of millions
of dollars worth of securities upon
this market for what they would
bring, il was TO his Office that the
leading bankers and the Stock EX-
change authorities went to hold their
momentouS conference.
The decision once made to close the
exchange, the Committee Of Five, which
had jurisdiction over its affairs unit!
it was formally reopened, consulted
him constantly, and the value OF his
advice, as well as his foresightedness,
was enthusiastically acknowledge
last week in a history OF the Stock
Exchanges crisis written by President
Noble. But out of Difference 20 Mr..
Morgan's well known ideas he was not
actually named.
Besides the arrangement he made
with the French government fer an
interchange Of credits in the first few
weeks Of the war, a plan that '7as the
salvation of thousands of stranded
tourists, Mr.. Morgan vas the leader IN
an undertaking that saved the credit
and honor of the City Of New York.
Just before the outbreak of the war
exchange rates had risen to so high
Q point tbat the city, which had many
millions of its short-term obligations
maturing in London and Paris, deter
mined to renew them for Few
months. expecting, with the usual
summer decline in rates, TO be able
to meet its obligations at less cost.
The war changed thac prospect, how
ever. Instead Of exchange declining,
checks on London wens as high as 81
TO the pound sterling. To nay its
debts at any such rate would have
been ruinous for the city. To extend
them was impossible with all Europe
demanding gold.
Il was here that J. P Morgan and
other leading bankers stepped into
the breach, offering to sell for New
York slO0,OO0OO0 Of short-term Sc
curities and to remit 70 England and
France the necessary gold and eX-
change to pay its debts. The pres
tige of the bankers was great enough
70 procure the aid OF every bank and
trust company in New York, with one
or two exceptions, and, what was
more. induce them 20 part with gold
which until then they had refused to
part with.

Delegates to Societies at Meet
ing in Detroit Call on Presi-
dent Wilson for Action.

Detroit, July 3-Several hundred
delegates Of German societies from all
parts of the country gathered at the
Hotel Statler to-day to protest against
the shipment of arms TO belligerent
countries. Many kilograms and let
tiers we're received from societies from
coast to coast, explaining that, while
delegates could not be sent, the MEM
bers of the societies were in sympathy
with the object of the meeting.
The Deutscher Bund claims that tho
Roman Catholic societies of America
are also in sympathy with the move
ment. It denies that the National
German-American Alliance has refused
its support, and claims that, on the
contrary, its president has written a
cordial letter, assuring the members
of the Deutscher Bund that the mem
bers Of the Alliance are in favor OF the
meeting.
Delegates from each society were
heard az the meeting and resolutions
we're adopted condemning the export
of munitions and calling on President

the attempted assassination of Mr..
Morgan and the explosion Of a bomb
in the Capitol, as symptoms of ma
ton wide plot by German sympathizers,
is proof Of how shamelessly the pro-
Allies newspapers pervert every event
to create an anti-German feeling in
this country.
"If it be successful in creating racial
discord, God knows how wrought with
danger the consequences will be. In
fact, feel that the insinuation by re-
sponsble newspapers Of so monstrous
an accusation Is more despicable than
the crimes which they attempt to sad
die upon the Germans"
Professor Frederick Oechsner, Of the
University of Berlin, characterized the
attack upon Mr.. Morgan as a cowardly
crime, and said that it was actuated
either by a criminal desire for notori-
ETY. or that it was the result Of dis
eased mind.

George Sylvester Viereck, editor OF

sassination Of Mr.. Morgan with a Ger
man conspiracy, as a deliberate plot TO
create a nationwide anti-German feel

statement:

DARBY MILL At
MAzUMA REOPENS

The starting of the Darby mill at
Mazuma marks a new epoch in the his
tory of that camp and Vernon. II
means a revivifying influence that will
extend all through that district and
may result in the opening of several
properties which have only awaited
the quickened interest of capital to
become producing mines.
The Darby mill is a 10-stamp plant
with tables, classifiers, and cyanide
up to date and complete.
1t was built by English capital during
the Mazuma boom but only required a
few days overhauling before going
into commission last week.
The plant is being operated under
lease by the Delaware Mining com
pany, which recently purchased the
Delaware mine above Vernon. The
ore now being milled comes from the
dump where there are 400 tons aver
aging close to $25, The haul from the
mine to the mill is about four and a
half miles.
