The other man, the one who wielded th? heavy billiard cue, disappeared almc?t as soon as Henderson dropped to the sidewalk. Although the hold-up occurred In broad daylight ami several hundred men at work on a building across Tark avenue heard Henderson's cries for help, no poli'cman was within hearing distance at the Hine. The on*ty dew the police hav? obtained as to Hie iden? tity of the SSSS IIS lits was furnished by Henderson himself, who said the men looked like foreigners.

BAKER'S IDEAS OF THE MONEY POWER I think It [concentration of control of credit] has gone about far enough. It might not be dangerous to go further. In good hands, I do not say that it would do any harm. If it get into bad hands it would be very bed. I do not think bad hends could manege it. They could not retain the deposits nor the securitiee. The safety of the situation Dee very much in the personnel of the men. It Is not entirely a comforteble situation for e great country to be in. I think everything is pretty much all right In the world. There is no dominant figure In finance now. There was during the panic, but not since the disturbance. Washington. Jan. 10.?That the pres? ent, concentration of money and credit "has gone far enough"; that "in bad hands" it would have a bad effect on the nation; that the "safety of the sit? uation lies In the personnel of the men in control," and that present conditions are "not entirely comfortable for the country," were a few of the statements made to-day by Oenrge F. Baker, mas? ter financier, as tho climax of two days' examination before the House "money trust" committee. But Mr. Baker added that "bad hands" could not retain the control. These statements, coming at the end of a day of routino examination, dur? ing which Mr. Baker reviewed in detail the operations of himself, his bank? the First National, of New York?and .1. 1'. Morgan & Co., in the Issuance of bonds, startled the committee and Mr. Baker's counsel, Fisher A. Baker and John C. Spooner. The committee had gone beyond Its usual hour of adjournment in order to Conclude the examination of Mr. Baker. Samuel Fntemiycr, its counsel, was wading through a mass of heavy sta? tistics relating to bond issues handled by Mr. Baker's associates. Suddenly he paused, leaned forward In his chair, and shot g question at the seventy three-year-old financier, who, desplto his long examination, was cheerful end confident. "Mr. Baker. I supposa you do not think there is a 'money trust'?" de? manded the lawyer. Committee, spectators and counsel sat forward in their chairs, and the room grew tense with expectancy. The UitMSg leaned ha.-k in his chair, smiled quietly and replied: "I do not think there is." Doesn't Know Whet It Is. "What do you understand by e 'money trust'?" Mr. Untermyer con? tinued. "I give it up. I don't know," said Mr. Baker, with a chuckle. "Then you do not know whether there is one or not do you?" demanded Mr. Untermyer. "No, I do not. I do not take much interest in that." "Do you think there is any kind of a trust in anything?" queried the law? yer. "That Is what they call them?all these combinations," said the witness. "There are some, are there?" "They call them that; yes, sir.* "And whether or not there Is a 'money trust' you would not like to say ?" * "No." "Suppose." said Mr. Untermyer. "we define a 'money trust' as an established Identity and community of Interest be? tween a few leaders of finance, which has been created and is held together through stock holdings, interlocking directorates and other forms of dom? ination over banks, trust companies, railroads, public service and InduatrUI corporations, and which has resulted in vast and growing concentration and control of money and credit in the hands of a comparatively few m??n. Taking that definition, is there any doubt of the fact that there iiaa been of late years a vast and growing con ?entration of credit in the hands of a few men?" "Well, there Is a great amount cf
