New York there was a near-panic in
the financial section Of Philadelphia.
Virtually all of the big Philadelp phia
houses are either branches Of New
York houses or else have branches 5
delphia branch Of j. P. Morgan & Co.
For a time the close friends of E. T.
Stotesbury, head of Drexel & Co. and
serior vice-pres of the Morgan
firm, feared for his safety. 1t was
known in high financial circles that
Mr.. Stotesbury goes to New York every
Thursday for meeting with the Nor
gan officials. Mr.. Stotesbury, however,
had foregonc his usual New York trip
and was in the West on business.
The Philadelphia police sent reserves
ana policemen in plain clothes in great
numbers into the financial sections
there to protect the big houses. Drexel
= Co. was under heavy guard, and all
eISering were carefully scrutinized
The same process obtained at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, the Stock Exchange
and the Custom House.
Gradually the excitement died down
and Philadelphia business became a
trihe firmer, though without volume.
Bankers there gradually treasured
themselves about their friends here,
though it seemed impossible to get any
worth-while information as to the cause
of the disaster
Philadelphia bankers were not great
ly worried over what might happen
there: Many of them inclined to the
belief that the explosion had been ac-
cidental. They were most anxious to
learn whether any of their friends in
Wall Street had been killed or injured.

satt q Co., one of the biggest of the
Philadelphia private banking firms, said
he believed the explosion had been &C.

Morgan Building
Constructed To Be
Nearly Bo11lbproof
Structure During War Was
Constantly Guarded by
Detectives; Walls 2 Feet
Thick Made of Concrete

The home of J. P Morgan & Co., at
23 Wall Street, was erected for the
Morgan company at cost of 81 100000,
according to Goodhue Livingston, a
member Of the firm Of Trowbridge &
Livingston, architects, of 527 Fifth
Avenue. This firm drew the plans for
the building and supervised ITS con-
struction. 1t was built BY Marc
Edlitz, contractor
While no building, said Mr.. Trow-
bridge yesterday, is actually bomb
proof, the Morgan building - as near
being bombproof MS a structure can
be. When the building was under con-
struction the architects bore in mind
that at some time it might be SUBJ
jectcd to the terrific shock of an ex-
plosion.
The walls Of the building are two
feet thick and arc made of concrete.
Stretched across the top Of the build
ing is a heavy wire mesh, which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Livingston, Will cause
any bomb or missile thrown on the TOP
of the building to rebound upon strik-
ing the net. All windows in the build
ing arc covered by gratings of bronze.
The immense vault is beneath the
building.
During the war, when j. P. Morean's
life was threatened many times be-
cause of his activity in granting loans
to the Allies, the Morgan building was
constantly guarded by special detec-
tlves. Detectives remained on duty in
the vicinity at all hours for MANY
months, and many OF them were sta
toned in the Mills building, adjoining
the Morgan building.
