Tonight his body Iying in the death chamber is surrounded with flowers of which many are pink carnations.

The official statement prepared by Dr. Giuseppe Bastianelli, Dr. M. Al- len Starr and Dr. George A. Dixon, the attending physicians, _indicates that a gradual collapse followed = conditien of mervous prostration, which prevented his digestive organs from performing their functions and affected the mental faculties. Mr. Morgan's daughter, Mrs. Her- bert L. Satterlee, who has been in constant attendance, was at the Qeathbed. She held the hand of her father and tried to obtaln some sign of recognition.
