MORGAN WALKS IN PERIL! GUARD KEPT AT HOME Proud of His Name, Head of Great House Is Scornful of Public Opinion. This i* the fifth of six stories on the House of Mnrtan. noon to be subjected to senatorial Inquiry. BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, April 21— In the; somewhat, rusty section of Madison avenue where it climbs the gentle slope of Murray Hill, there stands a three-story stone house, solid, massive, but nowhere near as magmfirent as many newer New York residences. It is the home of J. p. Morgan. At the next corner stands a still smaller, dun-colored stone house that formerly was the Morgan home, and adjoining this on Thirty-sixth street is a small, gem-like mr<rble art gallery. Practically the whole block has been bought by Morgan to protect the surroundings of the art gallery, which he has opened to | the public. Place Is Guarded Morgan, as president of a civic association, works hard to prevent encroachment of trade on old Murray Hill. That struggle is like the one he carries on in banking to prevent the public from encroaching on j what he considers his private busi- j ness. Few notice the Morgan homes, so dusty and old-fashioned. But if you should observe, you would probably j note a couple of men lounging about the stone balustrade that leads up to the fornt door They are guards, and th'-y are part of the price of being J. P. Morgan. You would find them also at. the great, rambling country house on Matinicock point, near Glen Cove, i L. 1., at the towered Wall hall in i Hertfordshire, England, or at the small, modern brick house in Gros- ; v-nor square. London, should his j beautiful black yacht, Corsair, have carried him there. Two Attempts at Murder The guards are no useless show. There is actual physical danger in being head of the House of Morgan. and the incumbent has met it at least twice, without fear. In 1915 a madman forced his way j into the Glen Cove home and con- | fronted the financier with a waver- j ing automatic. Morgan did not flinch. He advanced with all his six feet and nearly 200 pounds upon the j intruder, who fired. Shot through the right leg and abdomen, Morgan staggered, braced j himself, and lunged at the assassin, j He flung his assailant to the floor | and held him until help came. P’ive years later, a bomb intended to kill him exploded outside The j Corner in Wall Street. Windows ; crashed in, iron gratings buckled inward, dust of debris filled the air. ! It was Morgan who stepped coolly | to the shattered doorway and steadied the office by his icy nerve. Contemptuous of Danger This cold contempt for danger is j part of the Morgan tradition. By j heritage, upbringing, and experience, Morgan is an aristocrat. This is a man who did not hesitate to sell his father’s art collection at the Metropolitan when he inherited it, and felt he owed no word of answer to the bitter criticism that followed. Only years later was it learned that he actually needed the cash. This is a man who likes to potter among his prize tulips, to discuss Coptic manuscripts with the Pope. A man who reveres the memory of his father with almost Asiatic devotion. A man essentially bookish and retiring by nature, yet who found it his job to carry on the Morgan interests and name, and who therefore did so, in billions where it had been millions. A man always deeply devoted to j his family, and who retired even more to himself when his wife died | of lingering sleeping sickness. A man who has taken care of himself physically, and who at 66 retains vestiges of athletic schooldays at Groton and Harvard. A faithful and dominant member of the Protestant Episcopal church, and a man rigidly faithful to his principles. Scornful of Public Opinion One thing is clear: Morgan does! not give a hoot what people think of him personally. He, and his father before him, and his sons after } him, are jealous of the reputation of their house. The Morgan partners are carefully chosen. The elder Morgan once said, ”1 am a poor judge of talent, but a fair judge of character." The brilliant, the spectacular, are not wanted. Today, under changed conditions, ■ some contact with the public is necessary. Morgan can not make it. ! But the diplomatic Tom Lamont, smiling and with all the tact which was left out of the Morgan makeup, can, and does. Lamont is an exnewspaper reporter, and is not only a glorified "contact man” for the | House, but handles its international business with great skill. Next—What the senate is driving at in the present investigation and what it may accomplish. Hemorrhoids Go Quick All Tile Misery Ended Without Cutting or Salves. Thousands who have niles have not yet learned that quick and lasting relief can onlv be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor ! suppositories remove the cause. Pad circulation of ldood in the lower bowel causes piles. 'I he hemorrhoidal \eins are flabby, the bowel walls weak the parts almost d-nnl. To get rid .f Piles eu internal medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation, drive out tlia thick impure blood, heal and restore the affected parts. lr. J. S. Leouh.irdt. after years of study, found a real internal Pile remedy. He called his discovery HK.MJtOID, and prescribe 1 it for l.oo® patients with success in over 900 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer, no matter bow stubborn their case, might try his nrescriptlon with a money back guarantee. HKM-KOID tablets have such a wonderful rorord of success that Hook's Dependable Drug Stores and all good druggists Invite vou to try HKM-KOID and guarantee mono refunded if it does not end your Pile misery.—Ad- , vcxtUemcnt,
