JOHN PIERPONT MORGAN, who iras shot by a crftnk at Gl^n Cove, N. Y., succeeded his fa¬ ther at tbe bead of tbe great Intematlcmal banking flrm wben tta(^ latter died in 1913. The younger Mor¬ gan, nn only son, bad liad a long training uuder bis father and was con- gldered fully able to carry on tbe pol¬ icies of tbe bouae. He was bom in New York In 1807, graduated from Harvard In 1888 and was married in 1800 to MliH Jane Norton Grew. There ar« two tfiMis aud two daughters. Tbe older Bon, Junius Spencer Morgan, l)ora in 1892, wus married on June 15 of this year to Mlaa Louise G. Converse.
In hlB forty-«lgbt yeara of life J. P. Morgan grew In^ a remarkable dupli¬ cate of hla futher.

Closely Associated With Father.
His sympathetic study of bim father and his close iiH-<<oclatlon with him made the younger Morgan nearly like his father at his greatest. He received the beneflts''of the rli»ened experience of his father's later years. His prepa¬ ration as his father's understudy and successor was thorough, as Is the Mor¬ gan way. In college he showed the fondness of his fnmily for outdoor sports, though he did not compete for membership of the athletic teams.
From college he went straight to the London bouse of Morgan, Grenfell & Co. for his apprenticeship to his life's work. He had much to do with the transfer of the ?4O,O00,00O payment by this govi^rnment to France for the Pan¬ ama caual.
It was a tremendous undertaking and delicate. The gold had to be gathered cautiously in spite of Its tremendous quantify to avoid a squeeze and an up¬ ward Sound of tbe price of exchange. When It was consummated American financiers In the confidence of London banking men of renown got confiden¬ tial assuraiK'^ tbat "youug Mor8a,n bad {proved tbat tae wonld nuke goodi"
Orenhadowed by Older Financier.
Tlie elder Morgan came to this conn- try from Uls London schooling witb a reputation already made. Tbe younger man dhl not start here wftlT bis fa'- thefs prestlgei. Tbis was In no sense bia fault t)eeause his father's personal¬ ity overstiadowed bis own. '
In 1905 bis father showed hta ilnflfl-
exterior. It w.is the tnornlng after burglars had cincred the Morgan house on .Madl.»<oii aM'iuie, New York, and taken several thousands of dollars' worth of Jewelry and money. Mr. Morgan rushed into the offlce of his partner, Henry P. Davison, nud shouted:
"Has auy I tody got a stickpin or a wntch? Ry (I'eorge, I haven't got a thlngl They cleaned me out—cleaned ine out couiiileirly!"
Theu he notiied a stranger present, and Ills jaw sliiit. Withont a word he disappeared through the door, nnd It was not until ilio iiollce sent out an "emergency" <iili for tbe lost-Jewelry several days later that the visitor real¬ ized he bad been listening to tbe story of a real hiii-Khiiy.
Father Had Confidence In Him.
It was kiio.wij long before the death of tbe older .Morinn that he held great confidence in the'ability of his son. But not until the panic of 1907 did Wall stTeet n-.-ilizo how comjrtetely the young<^r man had takeu over his fa¬ ther's burdens. Big as tbe old man loomed np in those days of giant sal¬ vage, tbero w:i!< no oue among tbe group of men who i>lled barriers aud cut dikes undor hi.-* orders who loomed bigger than J. I'ierpout Morgan, Jr.
It was.seen that his father accepted bis bulletUi«*of Ihe situation witb more confidence nnd approval tban those of nny of the other itankcrs, though near¬ ly all of them were older men of great • xperlence.

interest Iu Public Affairs.
Though very shy of publicity, once more, like his father, he showed many times fhe courage of his convictions wheu convinced thnt It was his duty to come forward. Police commission¬ ers and otber public officials lu New Yurk have had frt)m him many per¬ sonal suggestions gathered out of his experience lu foreign travel. An In¬ stance was n letter he wrote to Deputy Comptroller Johu H. McCwwy In 1908 makhig suggestions regarding a sys¬ tematic system of street or^nings which saved annoyance to the public nnd money to the city. He took a large pait In directing the San Francisco re¬ lief fund after the earthquake.
On Sept. 27, 1913, the state comp¬ troller's oftlce in Albany received a check for $'J,u00,000 as the preliminary Inheritance tax for the J. P. Morgan estate. The state comptrollar had not received even a tentative Inventory of the estate, but the amount of iJie pre¬ liminary tax paid would indicate an estate valueil at about $02,000,000.
The clicclc was rei'elvcd from Carter, Ledyard A: Milburn, thc nttorneys for the Morgan estate. It was drawn upou the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co.
The Older Morgan's Estate.
The will of J. r. .Morgan was offered for proba Ie on April 21, lOlo, by his executors—J. P. Morgan, the son; Wil¬ liam I'lorson Hamilton, Herbert L. Satterlec .-nrd Ix?wis Cass Ledyard. It coniained .iiiiiroxliiialely ll.iiiH) words, IncliidiuK a sliort codicil, and was drawn on ,laii. 4, 191"., about three months before the fliiancior's death.
There were twenty specllic beijuests aggregatiiii; :i:i(i.nil.-),iHMi. lu addition to a year's salary to each employee of J. P. Morpin & Co. of this cltj^ and J. S. Morgan 'vt Co. of London; ifl.(KIO to eaoh hoiiseliold .servant not otherwise provided for and a .?1,0(X) piece of sli¬ ver to each ineinlier of the Corsair clul). There were nlso bequests of an¬ nuities aiiioiintiiig to ."!!71,2,"'>0 a year.
J. P. .Morgan was bequeathed .f.'l.OOO,- OOO outright and all the residuary es¬ tate. The two married daughters, Mrs. William P. Hamilton and Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee. pach received $;5,0(K),000 In trust to be left by them to their children. The third daughter, .\nne Tracy Morgtin, waa left !iW,OfW,000 with similar provisions in the event she should marry. To the widow. Frances Louisa Tracy Morinn, was left the In¬ come of tt .i^l.lKJO.lHlO trust fuml. in ad¬ dition to the inconie of a irusl fund wliich the liiiancier held from his fa¬ ther, Junius S. Morgan. A bc(iuest of iKl.OiMi.iKio was made to each son-in- law. Total be<|i.iesls of $(ino.(K)ii were rnade to Ihe church.
Firm as British Agents.
The activities of the -tirm of J. P. Moi'tran \- Co. in acting as liiiaucial agents of tin: allies In the imrcliase of war luiiiillloiis have been discussed widely in ie< ent months. Tlie London Globe recently urwd an iiivesligation into tlie activities of Ihe linu. The question was brought up twice iu oue week on the lloor of thc house of com¬ mons, but each time was Igifored by the government, although dissatisfac¬ tion with thc Morgan methods was suid to be widespread. Tho (Jlobc has always beeu bitterly hostile to Amerl cans.
"The house of commons," says the Glolie, "Is entitled to a full disclosure of the terms under wlilch J. P. Mor¬ gan has been apiwliited the sole agent of the British government In the Unit¬ ed States. On whose reconiiiiendatloii was this aiipointment made? What Is the rate of (oinmission? How much commission has l^e<'n paid or Is due to date'/
"These were the piliitK In which en¬ lightenment was asked nnd on which Mr. Slooney. who put the questions, failed to obtain a reply from the prime minister. Mr. .\squith sa.vs he hns no reuson to doubt the volue of Mr. Mor¬ gan's services, but It would be more satisfactory to know the cost. It wns stated lu the Iiouse recently that Mor¬ gan buys «t one price and sells to the government nt another price. This is n suggestion thnt calls for an immediate nnswer."
