Former Editor of The Key West Citizen

For the first time in eight years the
annual issues of Scripture volumes at home
and abroad by the American Bible Society,
as reported at its annual meeting this
month were less than nine millions: Even
so, the number was greater than that of
any other year in the III years of the So
ciety's history prior to 1925. An odd
item in the report states that in one Phil
ippine village total returns from Bible
sales were centavos, 8s roasting ears Of
corn, ripe mango and 80 green mangoes.

paid his official visit to Tiger
Tail Tribe No. 10, last night in the
hall on Fleming street.
Probably no officer of any or
ganization visiting a local lodge
ever received a more enthusiastic
reception than Mr.. Wachter, it is
said. And the lodge was treated
to one of the most instructive
talks on the principles Of the or
der that il has ever been privileged
to hear, is the verdict Of the mem-
beers.
The speaker spoke of the his
tory of the Red Men from the
time Of its inception to the pres
emit, outlining the vicissitudes
through which it had passed,
emerging triumphantly, and is to-
day one of the strongest and most
influential orders in the United
States. he said.

if it were possible. He believed in
the Federal Reserve system when
it was founded some 20 years ago,
and he not only worked to bring
the organization about, but also
exerted his personal influence to
get banks to join the system.
The same friends say that
Morgan today believes the
banking system should be
even more strongly centralix-
ed under the government.
Morgan's strength lies not alone
in Morgan. He has many active
partners. Thomas Lamont gene
rally is considered as one to whom
many important decisions are re-
ferred. Also comparatively well
known are Russell Leffingwell and
S. Parker Gilbert, one-time agent

His Influence Widespread
The financial power of the elder
Morgan was legendary, but it is
probably true, in the opinion of
many observers, that the influence
of the present house spreads even
further.
Morgan's today may not be as
completely dominant in the finan-
cial field as was the Morgan's Of
yesterday, because the intricate
and immense growth Of the coun-
try and the coming Of the Fed
eral Reserve system necessarily
have made the influence of indi-
viduals much less, even in times of
stress.
According to friends of Nor

NEW YORK, May 19.-J. P.
Morgan makes no speeches. He
gives no formal interviews. He
belongs to many clubs, but sell
dom goes to any of them. He
comes to his bank about 10 o'clock,
leaves about 5. And he goes
home. Sundays he goes to the
Protestant Episcopal church. He
yachts, plays golf and squash.
Newspapermen do not write
personality stories about Morgan
because the details of his private
life are as private as the business
of his bank. He is one of the
very few important figures in
American financial life who have
avoided the so-called personality
sketch, although a few have been
attempted on hearsay evidence.
Tall And Well Built
He is tall man, strongly built.
His grey hair surmounts wide,
high forehead. Piercing blue
eyes lie below bushy eyebrows, He
smiles quizzically under a we'll
clipped grey mustache.
Blue eyes seem to run in the
family. His fathers eyes were
blue, and so are those of his son,
Junius Spencer Morgan, next in
line. Junius Morgan is well over
six feet. He is wide-shouldered,
built on a strong framework. Deep
smile-and-laugh wrinkles mark his
face.
His Biography Unwritten
Biographies Of Morgan, the ell
der, founder of the house, dwell
on his personal magnetism. There
are, as yet, no biographies of the
present head of the house, and no
one will say much about his per-
sonal influence or his activities in

reached through conference
of the many financial minds
in the firm.
