Secrets of j. p. Morgan
Partnership Agreements
TO Be Aired at HeQrinQ
Senate Committee Votes to
Reveal Details of Pacts
With Aids.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press Stah Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June l.
Paper profits Of $152,568,0 0C
to J. P. Morgan & Co., and
his individual partners in Sc
curities of the United Cor
pOration were revealed today
in the senate Morgan inquiry.
This figure represented paper
profits on common stock and OPP
ton warrants of United Corpora
ton, a public utilities holding COM
pany, organized by the Morgan firm.
George Whitney Morgan partner,
the witness, estimated the cost of
the securities at $30,000,0O0.
Whitney resumed his testimony
after the senate banking and cur
rency committee, in executive ses-
sion, voted IL to 3 to make public
the articles of copartnership binding
the Morgan partners. The commit
tee agreed, however, to eliminate in
the version made public the per-
centage of profit made by the part
ners.
Full Profits Not Taken
Whitney testified that the possible
paper profits were not taken.
The securities in question consist
ed of 100000 common shares and
1,7l4,2O0 option warrants.
This is a speculation of what we
might have done although it is per-
fectly we'll known we did not do it.
Whitney said.
1t previously was shown that
Morgan & Co. took an actual profit
of about 100000 from sale of
100000 option warrants, and that a
potential profit of more than $1,000
600 was possible to persons per-
mitted to buy the stock on bargain
basis.
Whitney said the bankers actually
had sold 100000 shares of common
and 100000 preferred in the form
of 100000 units of one of each at
SIS, which represented the cost
price to the Morgan firm. These
units went to a list of selected
buyers and when first traded in
were worth 500.
Tells How Depression Hit
Whitney told graphically how the
depression hit the United States
Corporation and sent its common
stock skidding down from high
of $73 share in 1929 to $9l2 in
January, 1888.
We'll, in January, 1929, what was
the market value of Morgan securi-
ties turned over to United Corpora
tion?' asked Pecora.
They exceeded $4,000, 000," re-
piled Whitney. You read that
yourself in statement yesterday
Then, >" demanded Pecora, why
were they carried on the United
Corporation books at $5O,00O,OO0?"
The United Corporation didn't
spring into being over night,
bristled Whitney. That is ar aver
age value"
Midget Picture Brings Ire
Chairman Fletcher opened the
public hearing Friday by saying:
Il understand some photograph
erS had a performance and pictures
were taken of Mr.. Morgan with a
midget in his lap. 1 think it was
an outrage and shame. I ask the
newspapers not to use this picture.
The audience applauded.
Fletcher referred TO photographs
made of Morgan with a 32-year- old
German circus midget, Lya Graf
sitting on his lap.

Striving once more to save
the disarmament conference,
on which depends the hope of
the world for speedy relief
from topheavy war organiza-
tons, Davis appealed today
for more disarmament and
less procedure"
Davis, disappointed and angered
at a decision to adjourn the con-
ference for weeks, said SarcaStically:
Il am not interested in procedure,
but in disarmament. 1 find we
spend more time discussing the way
we should do things than we do in
discussing what we should do.
Let us have more disarmament
and less procedure"
The commission decided as a pre-
liminary to adjournment to read,
probably by Saturday, the British
draft disarmament plan, proposed
by Ramsay Macdonald, and favored
by Davis as a basis for a definite
disarmament plan.
Then it was voted that the con-
ference should adjourn until not
later than July 3, while the world
economic conference is meeting.
Objection by French, Norwegian
and Swiss delegates prevented
adoption of proposal to make the
British plan the actual basis of
negotiation of definitive plan at
once.
DAVIS is trying to arrange a con-
ference at Paris Friday with joseph
Paul-Boncour, French foreign min
lister, and Sir John Simon. British
foreign minister. Simon is in Lon
don, and apparently his government
has not decided whether to let him
join the others.
Objections BY Nations
1t was decided that the commits
sions steering committee, during the
adjournment should attempt to
whip into shape the preliminary
draft.
When the commission met today.
France and Norway objected to
adopting the British plan as basis
for an unWritten new draft. Yugo-
slavia, Turkey, Holland and Persia.
protested that a small committee
ought not to be empowered to re-
write draft agreed on by all.
Joseph Paul-Boncour, French for
eign minister, insisted chapters
dealing with private manufacture
Of arms and the limitation of arm
ament expenditures in government
al budgets be included in the new
draft.
Arthur Henderson of Great Brit
ain, permanent chairman of the
commission, suggested that he be
authorized to negotiate revisions in
the draft during the adjournment.
thereby eliminating the steering
committee.
United States Disappointed
He suggested also that the adj
!ournment be extended to July 2
to give more time.
Yugoslavia, Turkey and Holland
agreed.
1t was then that Davis interviewed.
and IN supporting Henderson's pro-
posal gave voice to the United
States disappointment that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's gesture in Offering
Europe United States cooperation
against any aggressor nation should
go for nothing.
1t finally was decided to adopt a
suggestion made by Davis, that the
steering committee should remain
here during the adjournment to
draft a concrete treaty for sub
sequent negotiation.

Princess Anne, Md.-A negro

more than a thousand men, women

He was hanged to an oak tree
Just outside the town after the mob

As the mob made its slow prog

ing, various members leaped at the
negro, screaming and cursing, and
repeatedly knocked him down.
He apparently was dead when
the crowd finally reached the oak
tree.
Later, the body was cut down
and was taken to the public square
where it was burned. The rope was
cut into small pieces and disthibuts
ed among members of the mob as
