The scope of his enterprise gave him a relation to public affairs that was unexampled not only in our own country, I think, in any country There were so many investors in so many en-' terprlscs whom his chlvalrlc sense of honor led him to desire to protect that the financial condition of the country was a i matter of Immediate interest tot him, and he took the place that the Government i should have taken many and many a 1 time. The faults of our financial sys tem, made possible by the incapacity of lawmakers to reconcile confidence and knowledge, he remedied from time to nime as occasion arose by his own tre-j mendous power; and that was govern- 1 mcnt. What Mr. Morgan did In the settlement of the coal strike, what he did in the panic of 1W7. was government as truly as the leadership of a great nation acquired by one commanding figure turns tt into an army for conquest, for defense, is government.

He followed the instincts of his nature which made him ready for public service wherever there was a public need appealing to his knowledge and his constructive instinct." Joseph If. Choate told remlniscently of Mr. Morgan's father, Junius Spencer Morgan, and his grandfather, John I'ierpont. from both of whom, he said, Mr. Morgan had drawn a rich inheritance of character.

When Mr. Morgan, in that examination at Washington to which Mr. Root has referred, to which he looked forward with so much dread, and from which he emerged with so much glory, when he said that character is the true secret of all success in life." he wrote his own epitaph and told in one short sentence the whole stnrv nf hla llf said Mr. Choate.

loyalty to himself to his noble conscience and the great character of which he was the owner. He was always true to himself, and. therefore, as you all know, he was never once false to any man. And then he had liesides all that greatness or mind and body and character, under that same rugged exterior, one of tnc warmest, ti-nderest, piost sympathetic hearts that eivr beat within the breast of man. Robert de Forest.

Vice President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, spoke of Mr. Morgan aa the greatest imateur- tho greatest art collector of his time, a lover of art for art's sake as well as an eager-collector of highly cultivated, taste and unerring intuition and judgment. Mr. do Forest told several anecdotes throwing interesting sidelights on Mr. Morgan's character.

He said: I was admiring an exquisite Gothic statuette in his library. I said. Mr. Morgan, how did you possibly get thatr hy, said he, I was walking on a street of Paris; I passed a man carry- unaer nis cioag ana I saw that he had a statre. I asked him what he was, doing with it.

He said he wanted tp sell it. I took him to my hotel and In five minutes I became its owner. Later his expert frienda told him ho had obtained a masterpiece at an insignificant ptvee. Mr. Morgan never saw all his collections assembled together.

Fortunately for America they are all here, but only his pictures, and not all of those, have been unpacked. But I am sure his Fatisfaction in having them exhibited together would not have been the selfish pleasure of seeing them bim-seir, but the pleasure the sight of them was giving to his fellow Seth Uw, the next speaker, pointed out some of the more Intimate characteristics of Mr. Morgan, who. he said, was a man of deeds, not of words. Sneaking of Mr.

Morgan part In the recent subway negotiations, Mr. Low said in part: The ctty of New Tork has recently seen a fine Illustration of his quality and his International Influence. For two years tne city has been carrying on negotiations in regard to the dual subway plan. At the beginning the Morgan firm, with Mr. Morgan's ready approval, agreed to finance the- -Interboroug'n's needs, assuming a contract with the city to be made, to tho extent of Tho negotiations dragged along month after month, always getting a little nearer to the end.

In all these critical months tnere has been no moment when the withdrawal of this firm from Its contingent encasement to finance the Interborough might not have been ratal to the enterprise. Much was said at times the public press that might have provoked their withdrawal; often the progress of negotiation was disappointingly slow, but. with a loyalty not less devoted than that of the cltv official, the Morgan firm patiently abided the Issue, thus securing for the city of their home the happy outcome in which we are all even now rejoicing." A set of resolutions was proposed by Frank A. Vanderlip, President of the National City Bank, expressing the reverence of the members of the Chamber of Commerce for the memorv of Mr.

Morgan, and calling for the engrossing of the resolution and the compiling of all the proceedings of the meeting in a memorial volume The notice on the door of the Irexel Building, at Broad and Wall Streets, announcing that the offices of J.

LOST ITS WAY IN CLOUDS French Watchers Say It Was Studying Frontier Forts, but Search Np Photographs. By Marrenl Transatlaanle Wireless Telegraph te The New Yerfc Times. PARIS, April 3. The greatest and newest of German airships Is in the hands of the French. The 4, the last and best product of Count Zep pelin's airship works at Friedrichs-hafen.

left its shed this morning for a trial trip with a Government commission aboard. It traveled toward the French frontier and, according to French witnesses, followed the line of French forts from south to north. It lost Its way In the mist, cxhavsted its fuel supply, and descended among French cavalry on the parade ground of the French fortress of Luneville. Zt was instantly surrounded by the French troops and formally Belzed. Replying to the request of the commander ol the Luneville garrison for an explanation, the commander of the airship Is reported to have saw mat the cruise was a private trial tr-.

that he was unaware that he had Crossed the frontier, having lost his way among the clouds and having been forced to land owing to a motor breakdown. fc The airship, which is 550 feet long and oO feet In diameter, was commanded by Capt. Georg Fritz of the Berlin aeronautical section of the German Army. It carried eleven passengers, including officers in uniform. The French officer informed the visitors that in accordance with the usual procedure in.

such cases he was oblleed to seize the airship and de tain its occupants. Hd also informed them that they must pay the customs dues exacted of foreign aircraft entering France, but that the money would be refunded when they crossed the frontier, if they were able to satisfy the French authorities regarding the reason for their presence. Any photographs of French fortified places taken en route woufld also be seized. Four battalions of soldiers were then placed around the airship to keep back the immense crowd of cu-rloui sightseers who gathered. The attitude of the people was distinctly hostile.

One hundred and fifty workmen were hired to hold down the airship during the night at $1 a head. The Ministry of War Is conferring with the Ministry of the Interior on the Incident This incursion into French territory by the German airship, which had apparently traversed the entire chain of fortified works facing the German frontier. Is exciting not a little Irritation. During the last few weeks the Inhabitants of the frontier have been disturbed by nocturnal visits from German aircraft which were apparently premeditated. The military authorities have already begun an Investigation of the circumstances of the airship's descent In France.

Gen. Hirschaucr. "Permanent President of the Division of Military Aeronautics, has gone to Luneville, accompanied by his staff. If it Is shown that the airship descended French territory through unavoidable circumstances, and if the German officers have been guilty of no act calculated to prejudice French national defense, the occupants of the airship will be allowed to return to Germany. If the contrary proves to be the case, judicial proceedings will be begun against them.

The Mayor of Luneville entertained the German officers at dinner this evening. LUNEVILLE. France. April 3. The German military dirigible airship Zeppelin IV.

made a landing on the military parade grounds here to-day and was seised by the French authorities. The local authorities and Brig. Gen. Arlstide Leon Leseot were immediately summoned and were closely followed by a huge-crowd of excited people. It re-qulrd the efforts of two companies of Infantry to keep the indignant populace at a distance.

The Z4. which Is of the latest and largest model, carried ten passengers, of whom four were officers in uniform Trusslon Captain and Lieutenant and two WUrttemberger Lieutenants. Th. Cantata explained to Gen. Leseot.

through an Interpreter, that the Zeppelin was undergoing a test prior to being taken over by the War Department; They left Friedrlchahafen early in the morning, bound for the Grand Duchy of Baden. With the intention of making ascension trials, they had mounted to a height of S.O00 meter (about 8,730 feet) and had lost their course in the clouds. They were carried along by a strong east wind and had passed several times over certain points, and then, observing the cavalry, thought they had reached e.nrknrr. Aa they were short of gasoline, they decided to land. They did not know inai iney naa croasea the French frontier.

The chief officer of the Engineer Corps at Luneville removed the magneto from Musicale the engines, so thai the airship 'could not get under way, and the cabin waa sea roiled i tor photographic apparatus, sketches or similar articles. Nothing of that was found. The German officers were permitted to telephone to Friedrlchahafen for a supply of hydrogen and for mechanicians. Luneville is about ten miles from the Franco-German boundary. PARIS.

April 3. Whlje the first news of the landing of the Zeppelin airship on French soil caused a great sensation, especially In the eastern section of France, later accounts gave the incident a somewhat diminished importance, and public opinion to-night is inclined to view the plight of the German as rather ludicrous. The explanation that the officers lost themselves and that the airship became unmanageable 1j generally accepted. There is even a tendency on the part of some of the newspapers to poke fun at the unwieldy German Zeppelins, whose many mishaps are recalled. The dirigible which reached Luneville, says one newspaper.

in Lorraine, and was compelled to make an emergency descent ir or 20 miles within French territory. The commander of the vessel made haste to explain the cause of his presence. Technically the 4 is not a military craft, but is still the property of the Zeppelin dockyard. As tho trip was being made for the benefit of the three army officers aboard for the purpose of deciding whether the vessel was acceptable, the commander may call himself merely an employe of the Zeppelin company. The German officers at once placed themselves at the disposal of their captors.

They and the airship were thoroughly examined for traces of incriminating material, but none appears to have been discovered. Thereupon the officers were Informed that they were at liberty. Although the 4 came to grief early In the afternoon the news of the accident was effectually suppressed In Berlin until late in the evening. When It did get abroad it created a profound Impression. At hotels, restaurants, and clubs military men said that by far the gravest feature of the incident is the opportunity it has given to the French authorities to acquaint themselves at leisure with the Innermost secrets of the very latest German airship.

WARDER HEARD A BOAST Callemin Said Executioner Would Arrive Too Late How Weapons Were Obtained a Mystery.

By Mareeal Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times. PARIS, April 3. A sensation was caused last night at the Sante Prison, where three of the motor bandits are awaiting execution, by the discovery that they had made preparations to follow Carouy's example and commit suicide. It is stated that a warder overheard Callemin say to his companions: Delbler won't have a chance to operate on any of us. He will arrive too late." The warder Informed his comrades, who laughed at him.

Since the suicide of Carouy the prisoners had been watched so closely that it was thought Impossible for them to obtain anything with which to take their lives. The warder, however. Informed the Governor of the prison, who ordered that the cells be searched while the prisoners were at exercise. To their astonishment, the warders found among Callemln's bedclothes a knife, among Monler's a looking glass, and among Soudy's 'another looking glass and a second knife. How the prisoners became possessed of these articles Is a mystery.

The prisoners themselves were next searched, without result. Then their own clothes, which will be restored to them to wear on the day of their execution, were inspected. Sewn into the undervests were dlscov.erd tiny packets of white powder. This is declared by the prison doctor to be cyanide of potassium in sufficient quantity to kill fifty men.

SOME OBJECT, OTHERS DON'T General Response Likely with Assembly's Flection of President as Evidence of Stability. Special to The Xtw Tork Times. WASHINGTON, April intention of the United States Government to recognize China on April 8, when a President of that republic will be elected by the Constitutional Assembly, has been notified by Secretary Bryan to the Diplomatic Corps. It is the expectation that the Assembly will choose Yuan Shl-Kai as the Constitutional President Secretary Bryan has also proposed that all other Governments simultaneously recognise the new Celestial Republio on the same day. Some objection to American recognition has been made by governments interested in the affairs of China, but the feeling of the Wilson Administration is that delay would not be justified.

While It was admitted officially to-day that the objections of these governments received consideration, this Information was regarded as merely a polite expression and not as a statement that the objections had any weight. But It is understood that Mr. Bryan received assurances from representatives of some of the most Important nations concerned that these governments would follow the lead of the United States In according recognition. It Is believed to-night that when the American Government acts there will be a very general response to the suggestion of simultaneous recognition, although the action of the other nations may not be concurrent with that of this Government. The objecting governments desire that recognition by any nation be deferred until China has complied with all conditions necessary to show that a stable government has been established.

President Wilson and Secretary Bryan do not regard this course as requisite. In their opinion the election of a President a Constitutional Assembly Is all that la required to show that China Is worthy of recognition." Such an election. It is maintained, is sufficient evidence that China Is acting In good faith, and that the choosing of a constitutional President must be accepted as an earnest Unpublished Letters oi General Grant written to his wife after the first great victory that brought him fames In Next Sunday's Times Vaster Skyscrapers in the Near Future German city-planning expert says those we have cause congestion and others must follow, broader and higher, but widely separated.
