FINANCIER
MEMBERS OF FAMILY WITH HIM
Telegrams of Sympathy Pour In from
All Over the World — Unconscious
for Some Time Before
His Death
Rome — J Pierpont Morgan the
American financltr died here of heart
trouble
When the death of Mr Morgan was
seen to be approaching rapidly Prof
Bastianelli and Dr Dixon forced Mr
and Mrs Herbert L Satterlee his
son-in-law and daughter and Miss
John Pierpont Morgan
Helen Hamilton who had been in con-
stant attendance to leave the room
Mr Morgan toward the end showed
that he was suffering internally only
by a movement of his right hand
Otherwise he displayed no sign of
vitality except by continuous heavy
breathing
Mr Morgan was unnblo to asssimi-
late the artificial nourishment admin-
istered during his last hours and his
physical weakness was extreme
Heart tonics were Injected but these
had no effect and for several hours be-
fore his death he was in a state of
coma unable to respond to any ques-
tions or to recognize Any of those at
his bedside
One of his relatives Mrs Fitzsim-
mons wife of the Rev M Fitzsim-
mons arrived from Cannes and was
shown Into the death chamber but
her presence remained uuknown to
the dying man
Visit to Rome a Mistake
Besides the four trained nurses In

Dixon During the morning George

can embassey called to make inquiries
on behalf of the American ambassa-

that his condition had been rendered

From liis arrival in Rome Mr ana
Mrs Herbert L Satterlee had feared
a mistake bad been made in bringing
Jdr It&rgan o Rome instead of tak-
ing him direct to London where he
could have been In his own house in-
stead of a noisy hotel and they
thought too that the climate of Rome
wbb too mild and enervating for him
In his condition of ill health
The financier's secretary found It
Impossible to reply to all the inquiries
and Mr and Mrs Satterlee expressed
the desire to inform the inquirers
how touched they were at the mani-
festations of sympathy received

the mausoleum in Cedar Hill cemetery
Hartford Conn which he had erected
some years ago In memory of his fath-
er and mother Whrn the body of Mr
1 Morgan reaches here from Rome it Is
expected the funeral services will be
held In the cathedral of St John the
Divine toward the construction of
which Mr Morgan was a large contrib-
utor When the news of Morgan's death
In Rome reached New York expre-
ssions of regret were heard on every
side In the stork exchange and the
consolidated exchange expressions of
respect to his memory were passed
and flags everywhere were placed t
half mast
The office of J P Morgan and com-
pany closed Immediately on receipt of
the news and little news was vouch

Tbe immediate effect on Wall street
or Mr Morgan's death was compar-
atively slight Oh the stock exchange
the news trom Rome had largely spent
Its force within fifteen minutes after
the opening of the market Mr Mor-
gan’s illness had prepared the finan-
cial district for the end and every pre-
caution had been taken to guard
against a serious break In prices At
the opening the prominent stocks de-

THOUGHT INDOLENT AT FIRST
Morgan Started Business Career Half
Century Ago’ ‘
New' York — John Pierpont Morgan
started his business career half a cen-
tury ago on the board of directors of
a large maritime insurance company
He secured the position through the
influence of his wealthy father For a
year young Morgan attended the di-
rectors’ meetings but never opened his
mouth except to vote
The president of the company told
the elder Morgan that nothing could
be dope with pis son who seemed to
take little interest in business Young
Morgan however all the time was
laying his plans for his first railroad
consolidation w hich when accom-
plished ’established his 'standing in
Wall Street” later was applied to have
got the better of Jay Gould
The president of the insurance com-
pany had mistaken taciturnity for In-
dolence The sobriquet of "Sphinx of
Wall Strett’ later was applied to have
been without business acumen but
later became the supreme head of the
finances of the American continent
Morgan’s control over men' and
money was the dominant keynote of
his life
At the height of his power he is
said to have controlled nine billion
dollars
Ip addition ot finance art litera-
ture philanthropy and sport all came
under his influence His prestige was
not confined to his ow-n country -kings
and emperors and even the Pope were
wont to call him into consultation
Mr Morgan came from an old New
England family which dates back in
this country to 1636 He was born in
wealth and his father JuniuB Spencer
Morgan left him $10000000 J S
Morgan liad accumulated Eis fortune
In the dry goods business with Levi
P Morton and later as an associate
of George Peabody merchant banker
and philanthropist
J Pierpont Morgan was born April
17 1837 in a modest red brick cottage
in Hartford Conn As a youngster
his tendency to write poetry gave linn
the nickname of "Pip" When he was
14 Morgan was sent to Boston to the
English High school He showed a
particular bent for mathematics but
had no gifts indicative of unusual
mental power Probably his first at-
tempt at finance took place in Boston
The school teacher gave him money
with which to buy erasers Young
Morgan was gone for a long time
When he returned he handed the
teaohor the erasers and also some
change
"What's this for?” asked tbe teach-
er “1 gave you just enough to buy
the erasers at the price I have always
paid for them” '
“Oil” replied young Morgan “I
went around town until 1 could find
a place to buy them wholesale”
For two years after graduating from
the Boston High school Mr- Morgan
was a student at Goettingen Germany
Of J P Morgan finantier and of
bis achievements all the world knows
Few men have been as widely feared
yet more generally trusted Those
men who met him only in a business
way saw a man rough emphatic and
repellent inaccessible as the emperor
of Russia when he chose to be
known as the worst man in the world
to interview and as e man who be-
lieved absolutely in himself and ap-
parently never questioned the cor-
rectness of his methods
His friends however knew him as
a simple unaffected companion an
Interesting conversationalist with
keen wit and genial humor Once a
wonlan asked him why he kept on
accumulating money- when he already
had more than ho peedfffl' ' —
T do not love money" Mr Morgan
U said to have replied "But 1 do
enjoy the excitement the fun of mak-
ing it” £
Business- was not all to the life of
J Pierpont Morgan Ills office hours
were short and at the close of his best
day he left his office and his business
behind him Wop to the person who
then approacliedhim on business bent
He cared little for society but was
fond of a good dinner in congenial
company of rare wines and big black
cigars
At 21 he embarked upon his career as
a banker - '

Bond Issue Planned
Jh matter or furnishing funds for
the rebuilding of the wrecked homes
is a serious problem and one upon
which a committee of business and
financial men have been working sevr
eral days It has been decided to ask
a popular subscription from the peo-
ple aB well as a bond issue of $1000-
000 from the county After the build-
ing and loan companies have made
loanB up to the point permitted by
the Jaw the:fuudB derived Irom the
bond isite as well as from the public
subscriptions will be utilized These
second mortgages will bear- an ex-
tremely low rate of interest if any
at all and will run for years giving
the home-maker an opportunity of
gradually repaying for his home
Eleven churches were completely
wrecked' Many of the homeless con-
gregations have’ accepted invitatipnq
to use other churches until their own
can be rebuilt but ’others will hold
their services out in the streets before
the wiecked edifices Despite the fact
that Omaha Is so sorely stricken this
city has Bent financial relief as well
as food and clothing to several of the:
small towns out In the state which
(
were- wrecked-by the same' storfn

sities together with the furniture that
is distributed by the committee are
furnished by the wholesalers at abso-
lute cost the wholesaler himself

gle for exisaence anew with nothing
but the outfit given by the relief com-
mittee This ’Consists of the military
tent groceries enough for the present
clothing given by the committee and
the kitchen outfit
