Pler- pont Morgan, one of the lay members of the Board of Trustees of the Protest. ant Eplscopl Cathedral of St. John the Divine. and some of the clerical mem- hers of the Board has been the theme for much sprightly convermation among those who keep abreast of the affairs of the Association, Jt in satd that the start of the “un- Pleasantness,”” as it has been called, Was duy to the fact that the trust fund nel been taken out of Mr. Morgan's bank and deposited with the Union T “pmpany “ Mr. Morgan, it ts said, has openly ex- pressed no displeasure because the fund were trang! from him to. the true? company, but it Is understood in other ways he has snown that} saction did not meet with bts! fon great Interest In the Board of Trustees, but a meeting for six merly he t tings of the he har not atte months or inore It was alm it it im sald, that a more vigorous should be made to obtain subsertptions from rich men.

Babcock. When he first took charge of the funds they were placed in Mr. Morgan's bank. Af- terward they were transferred to the Unton Trust Company. “Tne transfer was made,” said Mr. Babcock to a reporter for The Evening World to-day, “because complaint was made by some of the members of the association that the funds of the or- ganization were used by private ind!- viduals, “Now, It doesn't make any difference who it was that used the funds—wheth- er it was ‘Mr. Morgan or any other gen- tleman—the board did not want them used, and that settled tt. ¢ “In accordance with the wishes of the majority of the members of the asso- clation we took the money from Mr. Morgan's bank and put It In the trust i can only | by company’s vaults, where tt be drawn out by at least two signatures | of trustees, “If any one has reason to feel offended at that action, I do not see tha: the board In to blame.
