OWNS FOURTH
4. INTEREST IN
COMPANY
Some of His Partners Get Only
| Per Cent of Firms
Vast Earnings
By WIN. K. HUTCHINSON
Copyright, 1898, by International
News Service)

j. Pierpont Morgan has an
interest of slightly less than
'25 per cent in the profits of
the giant international bank
ing firm of J. P. Morgan &
Co., International News Serv-
ice learned today.
The son of the founder of the
House of Morgan-now its titular
head-invested half of the ap-
proximate $5O,000,OO0 capital with
which the present partnership
was launched on March 81. 1916.
He then acquired Is per
cent interest in all profits-and
an equal liability for all losses.
His interest shrank fractionally
since then, as the partnership
was expanded to take in younger
men. .......-a-.
Nets Millions of Dollars
The interests of other partners
slide down the scale to per
cent. None of the others has as
much as a 20 per cent interest.
This interest has netted -. P"
millions of dollars in profits
through the intervening years.
Under his own rule to withhold
half the profits in the firms
treasury, Morgan also has piled
up millions of dollars upon his
original investment.
Morgan has taken virtually
one-fourth of all the firms dl'
vided profits since 1916. During
that period, the partnership paid
$51,538,O00 in income taxes, and
it would be fair to assume that
Morgan paid around one-tourth,
or about $12,000,00O of this total.
In that event, his interest dur,
ing the. II years must have net,
ted him close to $75,000,0O0.
The Senate'S sensational bank,
ing inquiry today stands in re.
cess until Monday. Then it will
be reconvened to probe the in
come taxes of several Morgan
partners and to turn the spot,
light on the firms tremendous
railroad holdings.
Lamont Faces Quiz Next
The evidence will reveal the
House of Morgan as owning. one
of the great railroad empires of
the world, just as J. P. has been
shown to rule the largest utility
empire in America.
The tax angle will be directed
nt Thomas 6. Lamont. a Younger
partner and son of Thomas w.
Lamont. Young Lamont was di-
rected to bring along all records

DOUGLAS To
PROBEK|TS
Budget Director Calls That
His Introduction to Case;
FeChner Takes Blame

Lewis W. Douglas, director
Of the budget, did not know
about the contract between
Bevier & Co. and the Emer-
gency Conservation Corps for
toilet kits, under fire Of
Senate Investigators, until the
President, through his secre-
tary, Louis McH. Howe, asked
him to investigate it, he told
a Senate committee today.
Howe had testified he had
passed the question of the pur-
chase up to Douglas.
A letter, introduced esterday,
written on a letterhead of the
Budget Directors office. signed
by Howe, gave Robert Fechner, di-
rector of reforestation. the au-
thority he asked for concluding
emergency contracts.
Made Douglas Mad
This letter, mistakenly at
tributed to Douglas, made me
little bit mad" Douglas said.
F.. w. Lowry, his assistant, was
sent to the White House at ecre-
tary Howe's request when the
question of buying the kits was
first broached. Douglas could not
go, because of attending congress
sional hearings.
Richard V. BeVier, head of the
company awarded a contract for
100000 toilet kits for men in the
reforestation army, was summoned
to appear before the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee today in
the probe of the deal.
Takes Responsibility
Robert Fechner, director of the
conservation work, yesterday
admitted full responsibility for
making the purchase, stating
that he die not consider the ar
ticles furnished by the Army to
be of the same quality.
General Dewitt testified that
he had been advised by Fechner
that he had been ordered by the
President through Col. Louis
Howe to make the purchase from
Be Vier.
Fechner. however, merely stated
that he had telephoned Colonel
Howe to see if he had authority
to make the purchase and had
been informed that he did. He
then asked to have this placed
in writing, and received this
letter the following day.
No one instructed him to enter
into the contract for 100000 of
the kits at price of $1.40 each,
F'echner said. So far about 50.-
900 of the kits have been deliv-
cred. The balance have been
held up pending outcome of the
hearing.
