ALDENHAM, England March 13.
The people of this little Hertford-
shire village thought of their part
time neighbor, j. P. Morgan, whose
death occurred last night, as just
rich American farmer.
A few of them understood vaguely
that he had something to do with
banking" but that it was sort of
sideline TO his real occupation
raising prize hogs.
"The squire" never talked about
anything but stock breeding and
farming when he stayed at Alden
ham, they said. He leased number
of farms in the vicinity of the vii
lage, and they used to see him stroll
ing across his broad acres, stopping
here and there to talk with his
managers and even his ploughmen.
But pigs were his real interest,
they say, and they always were glad
| for his sake when his entries won
ribbons at the annual shows.
On Mr.. Morgan's 10th birthday
his neighbors gave him a silver cigar
box. Some farmers wanted the in
| scription to mention the fine quality
OF his pigs, but others thought that
wouldn't be quite genteel. So they
| just had the jeweller make it: ITO
the squire from his friends of Alden
| ham"

nation celebrations in 1887 Mr..
Morgan gave an old-fashioned vii

Bethesda Will Open
Information Office
For Victory Gardens
Advice to Be Given,
With Instructors Ready
To Help inexperienced

AS a clearing house for victory
garden information, an Office will
be opened in the Bethesda County
Building annex, 1853 Wisconsin

ton Of Mrs. Chase Donaldson, newly
appointed victory garden chairman
for the Bethesda-Chevy Chase area.
The Office will be open two days
weekly from 10 am. to pm. Tues
days and Fridays, and may be
reached by telephone on those days
at Oliver 230O.
On file in this Office will be a
chart of each public Victory garden
tract in the area, showing the names
and addresses of the participating
gardeners, the kind of soil found in
each tract and the type of crop
recommended for this particular soil.
The office also will have gardening
bulletins from the Agriculture De-
partment and the University of
Maryland.
First duty of the new office. Mrs.
Donaldson said, will be to induce
experienced gardeners to volunteer
their services as instructors. Those
interested in doing this sort of work
are asked to get in touch with Mrs.
Donaldson as soon as the Office
opens.
A landscape gardener by profess
sion, Mrs. Donaldson was chairman
of the Garden Committee of the
American Women's Voluntary Serv-
ices of the District for a f1ve-month

were rare. The last was an indorse-

Two sensational events marked
his life.
He was shot, and slightly wound

former college professor of Cam
bridge, Mass, who resented Mr..
Morgan's aid to the Allies.
The other came during a New
Deal Senate investigation of the
ramif1cations Of Mr.. Morgan's firm
when 1t was recorded that 20 part
ners held 167 directorates in 80 cor
porations.
During a recess in a hearing at
which Mr.. Morgan was testifying an

photographers quickly took pictures

The quiet-spoken banker would

His son and daughter made ar
rangements to place the body in

noon and accompany it to New York,
where funeral services will be held
at 10 am. Tuesday at st. Georges

Burial in Hartford Likely.
There were indications that Mr..
Morgan's final resting place would
be at Hartford, Conn. beside the
vault which contains the ashes of
his wife. Jane Norton Grew Morgan,
who died in 1925 of sleeping sickness
