(Continued from brief rest In Naples and Rome, the banker hurried on to Egypt, and rested again at Shepheard's Hotel In Cairo. Constantly- attended by a physician, he was urged to rest longer, and told that his health would not permit of any strenuous exertions. But he was all Impatience to get to his excavations, and early in February started up the Kile, accompanied by the Satterlees, eighteen women friends of his daughter, and the inevitable doctor and nurse. The boat used was especially built after designs of Morgan's own sug gestion, and workmen were building her for manv weeks before the financier reached Cairo. She was luxuriously ap pointed and cost a small fortune. But Morgan was.atot destined to make bis anticipated Ielsurelv Inspection of the Kile diggings. What proved today to be his fatal illness attacked him soon after the start ud the Kile, and he was force dto turn back. Acute Indigestion seized him, and It was feared he would die before he could get back to Cairo. For a -day Morgan was unconscious, vhile consternation reigned among his bouse boat guests. Consents To Take Rest Physicians and nurses were hurriedly summoned to Cairo, and reservations were made on the first steamer, the Caronla. leaving Alexandria for Kaples. Orders were sent ahead fqr eminent Berlin, Paris, and Rome specialists to meet Morgan, and It was announced that he would hurry to New York as rapidly as possible. Prof. Bastlanelll. -who went to Cairo from, Rome, advised agajnst the hurried departure, and Mor gan remained at Shepheard's until March 9. He recovered his hralth in a measure, and it was insisted that a lst -would restore him. He consented to obey the doctors and rest. He left on the Adriatic, which sailed from Alexandria for Italy on March 10. At that time It was an nounced that Morgan would proceed to Rome, and rest there for two or three weeks, after which he would tour Eu rope and return home. He landed at Kaples on March 13. ac companied by his daughter, Mrs. Satter lee; Herbert I, Satterlee. her husband: the Count and Countess Jean La Greze. the , latter the daughter of Morgan's partner.

Morgan had been forced to forego his usual visits In PRAISE FINANCIER Unteniiyer, of Pujo Committee, Says Famous Capitalist Never Abused Power. NEW YORK. March SLOne ytt the most vivid memories of-J. P. Morgan retained by his friends-was his appear ance on the day following his testimony before the Pujo committee In Washing ton. Morgan had returned to New York in a special train Immediately after he left the witness stand. He arrived at his office at Broad and Wall streets at noon the next day accompanied by a friend. The clerks and assistants had been eagerly awaiting his arrival, wish ing to see the effect of his appearance at Washington. The aged banker had a flower In his buttonhole: his hat Just slightly tilted at an angle almost cocky; he swung his heavy cane vigorously; his chest out, and his long black cigar titled at a de fiant angle that could not have been improved upon by Uncle Joe Cannon. Seemed In Fine Fettle. He walked briskly, and It was appar ent to all who saw him walk back to his private office that he was In fine fettle. He was delighted with his testi mony, and felt that he had succeeded In saying Just what he wished to say. His friends and partners gathered around to congratulate him. and his arrival took the form of the return of a hero. If the strain of his appearance on the witness stand bioke Morgan's health. It did not show on tne day after his testimony. On the contrary, his friends remarked that day that they "had not seen the old man look so much like himself" in years. Untermyer's Tribute. Samuel Untermyer, special counsel for the Pujo Money trust Investigating com mittee, upon reaching his office shortly after 11 o'clock today gave out the fol lowing statement: "With the death of Mr. Morgan, the world loses one of its most conspicuous figures and our countrj sustains the Ir retrievable loss of a generous, patriotic cl linen of rare breadth and public use fulness. The art world and especially our Metropolitan Art Museum will never be able to replace him "Whatever may be one's views of the perils to our financial and economic sy tem of the concentration of the control of credit, the fact remains and Is gen erally recognized, that Mr. Morgan was actuated by high purpose and that he never knowingly abused his almost in credible power." A special meeting of the board of gov ernors of the Stock Exchange has been called for noon today to take action upon the death of Morgan and to de termine whether there shall be any clos ing of the Stock Exchange out of re spect to the dead financier Was Son Of Wealthy Banker.

Egypt to the Khedive and Lord Kitch ener, but at Naples Satterlee said that his father-in-law Intended, If possible, to arrange an audience with the Kaiser and with King George of England be fore returning home. When he reached Rome It was Inti mated by his relatives that Morgan realized that he never would see Europe again, and therefore he was most anx ious to visit Berlin. Paris, and London before going to New York. On that account he consented to rest In Rome Indefinitely, as his doctors ordered. Doctors and relathes were unable to tell whether the banker at the last realized the seriousness of his condi tion. Since last Sunday he had been much under the Influence of drugs to make him sleep, and for the most part ' since last Wednesday he was In a comatose state. Such times as he aroused himself for a moment he ap parently recognized none of the per sons about his bed, either relatives or physicians, and It was believed that he grasped little or nothing of what was going on about him. Death Came Easily. Late yesterday Morgan took a de cided turn for the worse, and the doc tors warned Mrs. Satterlee that his death was a matter only of hours. Dr. Dixon and a relay of nurses remained by the bedside all night, and the Sat terlees were awake In an adjoining room. Shortly after daybreak there was an other consultation of Prof. Bastlanelll and Drs. Dixon and Starr, when the doctors made a thorough examination oi an or Morgan s organs. The physi cians issued a bulletin, giving the pulse. respiration, and temperature, and told me satterlees that death was but a matter of hours. Twice during the morning, Mrs. Sat terlee visited the bedside of her father, but he was unconscious. At noon Dr. Dixon called Mrs. Sat terlee from the adjoining room and told her the end was near at hand. At 12:05 P. M. Morgan died, with hi daughter, son-in-law, the three doc tors and a nurse at his bedside. Ap parently, he- died easily, having- been unconscious, motionless, and breath ing very slowly for hours before the end. As soon as announcement of the death was made, the flags of the Grand Hotel were put to half-mast, and signs of mourning- soon were visible throughout Rome. financiers that have made history in that he was the son of a rich man, Junius S. Morgan. The younger Mor gan attended high school at Boston, and then had three years of a uni versity course at Gottlngen, Germany. At twenty-one he entered his father's bank, and, after learning the business from the ground up', was sent to New York as his father's agent. In 187T he allied himself with the powerful bank ing firm of JJrexel & Co., of-JE?hlladeI-phia, and In 1895 the house of Morgan & Co. was formed. , i(a It was not a corporation, but a part nership, and In It were eleven partners, all specialists In their line. It made and unmade railroad and industrial cor porations, created Banks and trust com panies, and In very few instances did failure overwhelm any Interest that bore the Morgan O. K. Had Passion For Sole. The secret of his control lay In his personality. Morgan was a man of tremendous passions. He ruled. Those who disputed that rule had to fight. And few who fought survived. His In fluence was almost uncanny. Wise men bought and sold stocks blindly on the Morgan say-so. He fought union labor whenever that Issue was raised In any concern In which he was Interested. Morgan reorganized many railroad sys tems and all paid tribute 4o him and his followers.. The Reading, tfie North ern Pacific, the Southern, the Erie, the Lehigh Valley, the Hocking Valley, the Monon, were a few of these and he was always the power behind the Vander bllt lines, the Louisville and Nashville, and the Atlantic Coast lines. Morgan promoted the United States Steel Company, but had io pay a vast tribute to get Andrew Carnegie out of his way and to get the valuable Car negie properties Into the trust. It was a billion dollar combination and Its stock was sold to the ends or the earth on a promotion manipulation scheme backed by the lae James R. Keene. Then came the collapse and the ruin of thousands of Investors. But steel products could be marketed and the company "came back." so that In 1906 dividends were resumed. This was one of the happiest days Io Mor gan's life, for steel was his pet hobby. It was Morgan who effected the rub ber consolidation and the General Elec tric merger. No Change In Firm. At noon, following a conference of members of the Morgan firm at the Wall Street office, the following an nouncement was handed out: "In answer to the many Inquiries re ceived. J. P. Morgan & Co. state that Mr. Morgan's death will occasion no change In the firm that is, his interests will remain and the bublness be conducted as heretofore." Mr. Morgan's death was the one topic of general conversation, not alone among the financial classes, but among the people generally who have reau and heard of the wonderful pow er of the man. His name las bo lonj ben associated with -i.t wealth, and all the power and Influence and in dustry that wealth can buy. that theie if prababl not a class or people in America, and especially In New York, w ho have not In some direct or re mote way felt his power and been Interested In his lon Illness. Messenger Arrives. At cxactlj ! o'clock this mornlnj? a messenger sped from the office of the French Cable Company, direct to the home of J. 1'. Morgan, jr. at 231 Madl&on avenue. He wriggled bin wav through the throng ot newspaper importers who bad been on watch out hlde all night long, and delivered his message. Fifteen minutes later an other breathless messenger delivered another message. On a moment after the second message had been received, Mr. Mor gan came hurriedly out of his home. "Don t bother me now.'' he cried to the new-fpaper men who were still waiting confirmation of their belief that the cablegrams had announced the diath cf the great flancler. "A statement will be Issued from my office In less than half an hour." said Mr. Morgan. "I have nothing to say now. He ran to the home of his mother, four doors away. That was enough to convince the reporters the worst had come. He remained at the home of Mrs. J. P. Morgan, jr.. hut ten minutes. When he came out. he bore all the marks of strain and sorrow of a bereaved and heartbroken son. Dead Financier, Daughter and Son, Heir to Morgan House m'mLLyA, rm X,iLW$k fife mm ?&& a J. P. Morgan, His Son, J. AFFAIRS IN ORDER Capital Bankers and Brokers Say Financier Surely Had Prepared for Death. Washington bankers and brokers are of the single opinion that Mr. Morgan, realizing that his death would have an untoward effect upon the stock and financial markets un less carefully prepared for, had put his affairs in order and arranged, through his partners, to meet any emergency that might arise when the event came. High In their praise of the head of American finance, these Washington men declare today that even In death his foresight and financial general ship Is shown. Brokers look for a higher market In stocks, and point to the strength and steadiness of the New York stock market this morning as evidence. W. A. Mearns, of Lewis Johnson & Co., said: "There Is every evidence that Mr. Morgan left his affairs In ex cellent shape, even before he went to Europe, and that his partners knew Just what to do when the news of his death should arrive. The first news of Mr. Morgan's Illness several weeks ago hurt the market worse than the actual news of his death today " J. selwin Talt. president of the Washington and Southern Bank, said: "Mr. Morgan was a great and public spirited man .and In recognition of the rights of the public, he must have pre pared Tor the event of his death. He was the first financier I met when I came to this country, thirty-one years ago." Bowie Chipman. manager of Harrl man Co.. said: "While Mr. Morgan was a very big man. the men surround ing him are also too big to let anj thing serious happen as the result of Mr. Morgan's death, and the country Is too big to bo seriously affected by any man's death."

SEES SELFISHNESS IN T Congressman Neeley Declares Charge That Inquiry Hurried Death Was Inspired. "I don't believe there is any truth whatever In the report that Mr. Mor gan's health was In anv way affected by his appearance before the Money trust committee," said Congressman Neeley of Kansas, the only member of the committee now- In Washington. "The committee was engaged in a most Important public duty,' and som of the disclosures of the financial methods pursued by Mr. Morgan and his friends were decidedly startling to the country. This doubtless resulted In much public criticism, and the end Is not yet. "Our committee showed Mr. Morgan every possible courtesy, and for a man of his age he appeared to be In splen did condition, both physically and men tally. His ability to parry questions that he would rather not answer, his ready nit, and frequent sallies with counsel. Impressed the committee with his very unusual ability, and was a de cided change from the examinations of other witnesses. "I remember when counsel had mis placed some data that he desired to use In Interrogating the banker, and sug gested a recess for a few moments, stating that Mr. Morgan might desire a few minutes relaxation. Mr. Morgan smilingly answereel that he was 'feeling very fine' and preferred to continue the examination. At the conclusion of the examination, Morgan came up to the rostrum on which the committee was seated, shook hands with each mem ber, and rather profusely thanked us for the courtesy we had shown him. At the same time he assured us It had been a pleasure to offer Jils testimony. "The Morgan Interests have published and sent broadcast throughout the Pnlted States, and particularly In the districts of members of the committee, a letter containing many statements substantiated by no witness who ap peared before the committee. The In sinuation that the committee's cour teous examination of Mr. Morgan con tributed In any manner whatever to his demise appears to be a studied at tempt to make capital of his death, and to arcuse sympathy for a system that in manv respects Is at a derided variance with the Interests of our people.

Profound Interest was manifested In Washington today at the news of the death of- J.-Pierpont Morgan. At the same time, the Information wu receved; without the shock that would have resulted had it not been well known here that, the strength of the aged financier had been falling- In re cent months. -Moreover, the cable news of recent days had left little question that Mr. Morgan's condition was such that he would no longer be able to play the part of a master hand in the. affairs of the "Street.'' Many expressions of regret over the death of Mr. Morgan were heard. He was almost as well known In Washington as in' New York. ,He was a frequent visitor here, had various Washington interests, and on a num ber of occasions appeared at the Cap itol as a witness in Congressional in vestigations. Tedtfied at Pajo Inquiry. His last appearance in Washington was this winter, when he was called before the Pujo committee which was investigating the Money trust. At that time it developed clearly that Mr. Mor gan was no longer In his once robust health. He' tired much more easily than of old. and it was also clear that his mind, while strong, did not work with the lightning-like rapidity and the pre cision, which, characterized it In his prime. Friends of Mr. Morgan then commented freely to the effect .he was aging. Nevertheless, he made a good witness and succeeded in' getting a lot or matter into therecord that, from his angle of the Money trust question, made good reading It was also noticeable then that Mr. Morgan had lost something of the bfusqueness which he manifested in his younger days apd was becoming more mellowed and good-natured. No more good-natured witness was before the Pujo committee ; this ;wlnter. in spite of a prolonged grilling, than-Mr. Morgan. Death Sileacts CriUdna. The death of Mr. Morgan, as viewed in Congress circles, will not materially alter the situation with respect to the attempts at Money trust legislation which are to be a feature of this Conmsa. Had Mr. Morgan, lived, there Is no ques tion he would have been singled out by scores of speakers in House and Senate as the bogey man with 'respect to tho centralisation or moneys and credits in this country. His death will silence much of tho criticism that would have been .heard from those men In oCngress who be lieve that he. more, than anv other ner- ' son, was responsible for the upbuilding oi me so-cauea juoney trust. Before Pujo CommitteeV When Mr. Morgan appeared before the Pujo committee he was accom panied by a retinue of partners, law yers, and relatives. All ot them seemed solicitous of the master financier's health during the examination, although Mr. Morgan himself Insisted that he wasn't tired, and wanted to get the ex amination over with when the usual recess hours approached. Mrs. Herbert I. Satterlee sat near her father during his two days on the wit ness stand before the Pujo committee. and she frequently seemed on the verge of remonstrating that Mr. Morgan might overtax his strength. After he hearings were over, however, Mr. Mor gan waved aside all such suggestions, and called foe another big black cigar. It was apparent, nevertheless, that the Morgan who appeared before The uju vuuiiuiiicc nao .jl vug diuiAai u& old. When he appeared before the Sen ate campaign Investigating commlttt;. In September last, he was a much stronger man than when he returned examination by the Money trust probors. to Washington In the late winter for an Within a few months old age and a general breakdown had made noticeable inroads upon a once robust constitu tion, and spectators who had seen Mr. Morgan before both committees mar veled at the change. There were whis pered predictions then that the master financier would not last another year. MORGlKlER TOLD IN BRIEF Great as have been the achievements of J. Plerpont Morgan, his life shows an almost unequaled number of activi ties, ranging from money making to money giving, from art to railroads, from society to Interest In the elimina tion of bad conditions among the poor and needy.

Mr. Morgan, In spite of his tre mendous business activity, always has found time to devote to social life, and he was a member of many clubs.
