REFUSES TO "BUTT IN"
ON LANE PAPERS
Prendergast Tells Thompson
Committee of Clash with Gay
nor Over City's Interest.

J. Y. Morgan appeared bef re tho
Thompson Legislative investigating
Committee again yesterday as VII
ness. He was questioned about com
mitments and obligations" Mr.. Nor
gan could not recall that the subject
had ever been brought to his attentioA'
as George w. Young. the banker ana
Interborough director, testified at pre-
vious hearings, it had been. Mr.. MOT
gan declined to assist the committee IN
obtaining the original memorandum oil
the late Gardiner VI. Lane, which re-
ferred to the commitments and obl-
cations" Of Theodore Shonts, president
of the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company.
Young testified that at hurried
meeting of the Interborough directors
in June, 1913, Mr. Shonts favored ;he
award of the elevated third-tracking
contracts to John +. Stevens, for whlch
Stevens was to receive S2,Ooo'ooO
in profit. It was at this meeting, ae-
cording to Young, hat Shonts told
Lane that the 100000 "fee" ostensibly
awarded to Stevens, was to meet and
nav commitments and obligations
which Shonts had incurred in negotla-
tions leading up to the dual subway
contracts. Mr.. Young also testified
that Mr.. Lane told him he had called
on J. p. Morgan, jr., after the meeting
and told him all about Presiden,
Shontss explanation.
Morgan Fails TO Remember.
Frank Moss. counsel to the commit
tee, read the Young testimony TO Mr'
Morgan and asked him II he remem-
bered Mr.. Lanes call and talk about
the commitments and Obligations.
81 certainly do not recall any rIcn
statement" said Mr.. Morgan. 81 think
| would recall it If such thing. had
been said TO me in that way. ! am
pretty sure no such statement ever got
TO me-"
Senator Thompson pressed the ques-
tion. repeating the testimony Of Young
10 Mr.. Morgan.
IL can't contradict Mr.. Lane; he is
dead" said Mr.. Morgan, but | can say
| really have no recollection OF any
such statement having been made to
me-"
Senator Thompson appealed TO Mr.
Morgan 10 assist the committee IN OBJ
tanning the original manuscript Of the
Lane memorandum of what took place
at the meeting of the lnterborougn
directors in June. 1918, which is sup
posed 10 be among the papers OF the
lane estate in Boston. Senator
Thompson seemed 10 think that II Mr
Morgan asked the executors TO pro
duce IL they would do so.
81 don't think it is my place to butt
in in that way replied the banker
II have no objection whatever TO the
Lane executors doing exactly what they
see fit, and do not care if the mem '-
randum is made public. but don't see
why | should butt in
Mr.. Morgan's counsel, Richard v.
Lindabury, suggested that II the conf
mittee thought that the executors OF
the Lane estate were reluctant about
giving them the memorandum because
they feared Mr.. Morgan might not
like il. Mr.. Morgan would be willing
70 dissipate any such objection. The
witness was i'm a jovial mood and ire-
quently chuckled and joked with Mr.
Moss and members Of the committee.
