MORGAN AS WITNESS DRAWS A CURIOUS THRONG TODAY

ERRORS OF SPEECH.

Common Abuse of tho Verbs to Get, to Lay and to Lie.

The verb to get is one of our much misused words. It means to acquire, win, obtain, and primarily It signifies the putting forth of effort to attain something. Consequently it is not only superfluous, but incorrect, to speak, of man as "getting drowned" or "getting: sick," and yon may unfortunately "have a cold," but it is Impossible that you "have got a cold." At this moment no exceptions occur to the writer to the rule that got should never be used in connection with have, which alone sufficiently expresses possession. Say "I have the picture," not "I have got the picture." "The dog has a broken leg," not "The dog has got a broken leg." The irregular verbs lay and lie are frequently confounded. Lay is an active or transitive verb, and lie Is pasKive or intransitive. We lay things down or have laid them down, but we and things lie at rest. You He down, have lain down, will lie down or are lying down. She lay down yesterday and is going to lie down this afternoon. A frequent error Is to confound the past tenses of these verbs. One should say. "Mary laid the book on the table and lay down herself," but the book lies on the table. Exchange.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 With J. Pierpont Morgan on the stand the house money investigating committee suddenly adjourned at 3 o'clock this afternoon until tomorrow at 10:30. Morgan had been testifying only nineteen minute, when Chairman Pujo suddenly announced that the commit

tee would adjourn. This announcement was due to the discovery of the fact, that Mr. Morgan had not produced certain agreements with interstate corporations for which his counting house acted as fiscal agent. Morgan was questioned by Untermeyer as to his partners in the firm of J. P. Morgan and Company. "Does your New York house do a banking business?" asked Untermeyer. "We try to. We do not clear through the clearing house. Outside checks are cleared over our counters" Morgan replied. "Is there any banking business your firm does not do?" "We do not issue bank notes." "Do you receive deposits of interstate corporations?" "Yes, I suppose so. Some are interstate and some are not. We receive deposits from all classes of corporations." Untermeyer then produced a statement of the amount on deposit in the Morgan bank by interstate corporations. He asked Mr. Morgan to identi

fy the totals.

"I prefer that some one else do

torships in one steamship company, ninety-eight directorships in twentyeight producing companies, and fortyeight directorships in nineteen public utilities corporations.

that," said Morgan. "Some one who knows about it. I presume your statement is correct and if it came from some one of my firm who knows about these matters I will accept it.' Big Crowd Attends. At this juncture Richard Lindabury, counsel for Morgan & Company, said he did not offer the statement but he understood that it had been obtained from the public records by the committee.

Eagel" to see J. P. Morgan, colossus

of finance, grilled by Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the house money trust investigating committee, a large crowd was on hand today when the committee went into session. The committee met in the house caucus room of the house office building. Philip Scudder, an expert statistician of New York, told in great detail to the house money trust committee how, through the device of interlocking directorates, eighteen financial Institutions, thirteen in New York, three in Chicago and two in Boston, controlled a great portion of the business and finances of the entire country. These eighteen Institutions, he said, had in all 746 directorships in 131 corporations having total resources or capitalization of $25,325,000,000. In the aggregate they held 385 directorships in forty-one banks and trust companies, fifty directorships in eleven insurance companies, 155 directorships in thirty railroads, six directorships in two express companies, four direc-

Among the world's left handed gen lusea was Leonardo da Vinci, who wrote a treatise on aviation, the hand writing of which travels from the right side of the page to left Nelson, too. was left handed, hut that was from necessity. J. R. Green records a story of Ad miral Nelson's rlsit to Yarmouth to receive the freedom of the boroiijrn "A storm met him on his landing, but the danger failed to prevent his appearance on the quay. When the freeman' oath was tendered to him the towu clerk noticed that the hero placed his left hand on the book. Shocked at the legal Impropriety he said. 'Your rijrbt hand, my lord.' That,' observed Nelson, 'la at Teneriffe.' "

Requiescat In Pace. The man with the old clock onder his arm laid it on the jeweler's showcase "I wish you'd see what Is the matter with this." he said. The Jeweler removed the dial, screw ed his eyeglass into place and inspect ed the works of the ancient timepiece. "Nothing Is the matter with It now; Its sufferings are over." "Well, how much do I owe you?" asked the man. "Nothing." answered the Jeweler "This isn't a professional treatment This is a coroner's inquest" Exchange.

Meant Nothing Personal. "When you try to help other people such puzzling things happen." said a

pretty young charit.es investigator to a newspaper man. and from her sub sequent remarks he gathered that what did happen was this: The well meaning girl was trying to find out why the poor man was idie. 'Vau't you tiud work?" she ventured sympathetically. "Sure. miss, any day I want it." "Well, why aren't you working today, then, instead of sitting in the house doing nothing?" "1 didn't feel good today. You know how it is. lady, when you've been drunk a week." And the young woman is still wondering what he could have meant by that. New York Tribune.

BAD FOR THE STOMACH.

Whan Non-fatty Foods Are Intimately Mixed With Grease. The stomach never has the least power of digesting true fat. This is disposed of In the Intestines. When eaten in the ordinary forms, as fat meat, butter, etc., the fat separates out in the stomach and does not in the least Interfere with the work of the gastric Juice on the other food, but when a non-fatty food has been intimately mixed with grease the latter prevents the gastric Juice getting at the food it could digest. Fish fried In oil or butter is by no

means the most marked example, as the fat does not penetrate very deeply Potatoes mashed with butter are rather worse, and minced vegetables fried with butter are bad offenders. The reason advanced explains why pork Is difficult of digestion. The muscular fibers are mixed up with fat cells, and by the liberation of the oil in each tiny cell the eaten pork is made into an oily paste. A very strong stomach will do the work required, but it is not a fair task to Impose frequently, and a weak stomach will refuse to do anything beyond reminding its owner by a few stabs that it will not stand such trcatmeut Exchange. Horse Hatred. Of all the domestic animals the horse in probably the most gentle, but there are exceptions. A California man had in his stable a fine thoroughbred horse, of which he made quite a pet One day he went into the stable, and, stopping to pat his favorite steed, he was surprised when the horse, with a violent plunge, broke the halter and came at him with open mouth. At first he thought it was in fun. but he soon realized his mistake and hastily climbed up a ladder and yelled for help. On the arrival of his son the horse went back to the stall and Immediately resumed its former gentleness to all but its owner. To him it remained a dead ly foe until he was compelled to sell it He never knew the reason for its sud den animosity.
