It was explained that the Morgan firm in such cases thought it advisable not to carry all of its holdings in these com- panies but did not wish to throw its big blocks of shares on the open market for fear of starting general selling waves and there- fore invited certain individuals to invest in the stocks. Defends Preferred Lists Publication of the lists showed some of the country’s leading per- sonages in this preferred cate- gory although none of them was in public office at the time they were offered the bargains. In this connection the head of the firm said: “Our lists of private subscribers naturally were composed of men of affairs and position; but they were selected because of estab- lished business and personal rela- tions and not because of any ac- tual or potential relations. “We never have had occasion to ask for favors from legislators or persons in public office, nor have we ever done so.” | J. P. Morgan and half a dozen} of his partners testified at the in- vesitgation which was initiated with the idea of obtaining infor- mation upon which legislation for the regulation of private banking could be based. Aside from this public hearing the the senior part- ner was on record rarely.

John Pierpont Morgan was born September 7, 1867, at Irvington, N. the only son of J. Pierpont and Frances Louise Tracy Morgan. He was educated at St. Paul’s School, Concord, N.

Morgan & Company. The other children were Jane Norton, Fran-| ces Tracy and Henry Sturgis Mor-} | gan. Mrs. Morgan died August 14, identified as Eric Muenter, a for- 1925. i John Pierpont Morgan was known fifst as “J. Pierpont Mor- gan, Jr.” After his father’s death in 1913, he dropped the “junior” and a few years later began using only his initials. To his intimates he was always “Jack.” Gets European Training His early training in the busi- ness was chiefly in Europe. While in London he handled the rather delicate task of accumulating a large share of the $40,000,000 in gold which the United States paid! to France for Panama Canal rights. His suecess in doing this without disturbing the balance of foreign exchange was signal. _ Brought back to America in 1901, he arrived just as a panic roke in Wall Street over the con- est for control of. the Northern dicting that “the wholesale waste | Pacific between the Hill-Morgan of capital involved in such a catas-| and Harriman - Standard _ Oil trophe would result in a distribu-j groups.

Under this classification the Morgan firm advanced $12,099,000} to Russia, loaned France $50,000,- 000 and in September, 1915, was fiscal agent for the allies in float- ing a bond issue of $500,000,000. Thereafter J. P. Morgan & Com- Pany acted as commercial agent for Great Britain and Belgium, all purchases of war supplies in Amer- ica passing through the firm’s! jhands. It was estimated that bil-'tle of the evening. lions of dollars were involved in these transactions. Wounded By German Assailant ‘The-war work nearly cost Mr, Morgan his life. On July 3, 1915, he was shot twice in the groin by. @amnan who claimed to be Frank Holt ‘en imstructor in German at Cornél! University. The assailant said he shot only to frighten’ Mor- gan, whom he wished to influence to stop shipments of munitions to the allies.
