J. Piorpont Clorgan'o 17111 Po-
culiar to His Lifo'o Policy
Xew York, April 19. "I com
mit my soul into the hands of my
Savior, in full confidence that
having redeemed it and washed
it in His most precious blood, He
will present it faultless before the
throne of my Heavenly Father;
and I entreat my children to
maintain and defend, at all haz
ard and at any cost or personal
sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of
the complete atonement for sin
through the blood of Jesus
Christ, once offered, and througl
that alone."
This is the extraordinary and
Striking utterance which begins
the last will and testament of
John Pierpont Morgan, who died
at Rome on March 31, last, whose
body, heaped over with flowers
from the crowned heads of Eu
rope. was. a fortnight later
1 i.i
imutgnt hack to 111s own
land and last Monday was borne
to its last resting place at Hart
ford.
F.ver since the funeral the pub
hcation of the jjreat Imaucier s
last will has. been awaited with
keen expectation and it is safe to
say that of all the interesting
testaments of eminent citizens of
America, that of Mr. Morgan. t
be otTert'd for probate here Mon
day morning, is by far the most
interesting.
Amount of Estate Unknown.
; As to the amount of the estate
j which is one of the first iiiestion
the public naturally is asking
there is nothing in the will to
give any accurate idea and the
executors declare that no an
nouncemcnt will be made on this
point until the appraisal has been
made for determining the state
inheritance tax.
The amount of bequests and
trusts, named by specific sums
is unedr twenty million dollars,
I ut the entire residue of the cs
tate is left to J. I'. Morgan. Jr.,
who is deisgnated by his father to
l-ccoinc the chief heir not only to
his fortune but to his many char
itable and artistic activities'.
As to the document itself, it is
unusual in many of its features
and. according to those two or
three intimate friends who al
ready -have had a glimpse of it,
it is a portrait of Mr. Morgan
himself, beginning with the strik
ing confession of his religious
faith (a side of his character
which was known to his close as
sociates hut not to the world) and
running through all its thirty
seven articles, duly set forth in
the same logical and orderly fash
ion which his friends sav marked
all Mr. Morgan's mental process
1 le has apparently provided
with painstaking care for every
contingency that might affect
his family or his banking firm,
and to his executors, namely his
son. J. P. Morgan, Jr., his two
sons-in-law, William Pearson
Hamilton and 11. I,. Satterlce. and
his friend, Lewis Cass Ledyard,
he gives careful directions under
many clauses as to alternate
courses ot procedure. It is to be
noted also that his grandson,
Junious Spencer Morgan, Jr., a
young man of only twenty-one,
now student at Harvard, is re
peatcdly nominated to take up
important duties in the event of
the death of his father, John P.
Morgan, Jr.
Public Charitable Bequests
: Small. .-.
Public charitable bequests are,
as was .predicted by many of
those conversant with his im
mense benefactions made during
his lifetime, comparatively small,
and are in the direction of those
objects to which Mr. Morgan's
benefactions are already well
known. For instance, in the
case of the great lying-in hospital
in New York to which Mr. Mor
gan gave over a million and a
HIGH POINT. NORTH CAROLINA. MONDAY, APRIRL at, 1913.
quarter of dollars, he uses the fol
lowing language:
"Without imposing any duty,
trust or obligation upon my resi
duary legatee, 1 request he con
tinue; so long as in his judgment
the same shall be necessary for
its support, the same assitance
which I have been in the habit of
giving during my lifetime to the
society of the lying-in hospital of
the city of New York."
This annual gift here alluded
to is known as having been $100,
000. It is worthy of note that the
will was executed as late as Jan
uary 4, last, and a codicil was at
tached in January 6, only the day
before. Mr. Morgan took leave of
America on the trip abroad,
T .-.n which he never returned.
The will ;ivesMo his executors
the following:
Full power and authority to
recognize and pay as among such
debts and promises or obligations
made by me. verbally or other
wise, which although not in such
form that the holder could com
pel payment thereof by my estate,
my executors think proper to be
paid in their own judgment or be
cause from memoranda or verbal
directions left by me or from oth
er sources they arc satisfied that
it would be my wish to have
paid." '
Disposition of Estate.
The disposition of the estate
then follows, the first provision
being that of his own family. To
his "beloved the income for life
of a trust fund wife, Francis
Louisa Tracy Morgan." the in
come for life of a trust fund of
one million dollars with power
to dispose of the capital by will.
Mrs. Morgan is already entitled
to the income of a trust fund
created by Julius Spencer Mor
gan (Mr. Morgan's father' by
deed dated July 1, 1807. The will
provides that she is now to re
ceive for life the income of an ad
ditional trust of such amount
that her total income from these
two trusts shall (aside from the
income of the one million dollar
gund) amount to $100,000 a
year. Mrs. Morgan also receives
during her life "Gragston," the
Morgan country place at High
land Falls. X. Y.. and also the
Morgan home at Xo. 219 Madison
avenue, Xew York, together with
the furniture.

The Entre Nous Club held a
most pleasurable meeting Thurs
day afternoon with Mrs. Albert
V.. Tate on Broad street. Al
though just an ordinary little
club meeting with the same
crowd members and vacancies
filled, yet the two hours were
filled with happiness,- and the
adapted game of Rook was enjoy
ed. The refreshments were sim
ple, but delicious, and the favors
were dainty and pretty, being the
little high handle flower girl bas
kets, beautifully woven in pink
and green, tied with pink and
green ribbon and filled with gin
ger .sticks, nuts, candies and oth

gave certain touch of spring.
Mrs. James Joseph Farriss was
the hpnor guest Saturday after

the whitened sprays of the soft
white dogwood blossoms. Prior

Yesterday afternoon about 5
o'clock two boys out for a walk
found near the septic tank in the
southern part of the city, the
body of a baby boy wrapped in a
black skirt and part of a sheet.
The officers were notified at ou;e
and the remains were taken to
the undertaker's shop of J. W.
Sechrest. Post mortem examin
ation was made last night but it
was not definitely ascertained
how the child met its death. Pos
sibly by strangulation.
Coroner Wood arrived here
this morning but as there was no
evidence yet an inquest was not
held. The officers, however, are
working on the case and may
have some developments soon.
The crime is a horrible oen and it
is to be hoped that the heartless
criminals, both the man and the
woman, may be apprehended.
The child was well formed,
weighing about 10 pounds and as
the coroner said, was one of the
most likely babies he had ever
seen. It ahd every mark of re
finement about it, usually showed
in the hands and feet and in facial
expression.
