New York Banking Company Files Letter with Pujo Committee Explaining Conditions. CONCENTRATION IS NATURAL Bankers Arc Trusted with Money Because They Are Honest. PANICS NOT MACHINE MADE Letter Says No Set of Men Can Control Credit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-A general tic. nlal of the existence or possibility of a "money trust" was presented to tho house money trust committee today In a long letter sent by J. 1. Morgan & Co.. -it the Invitation of the committee. Upon receipt of the Morgan letter Chair man Pujo gave out a letter written to Morgan Co. saying that the 1 tivl tat ln'i to Morgan .t Co. had been extended Jan uary 27 and that the committee had been at wmk on Its report for a month, "Your memorandum," the reply con cluded, "manifestly comes too Into to bo of value." The Morgan letter laid at the door of the present banking and. currency law, the responsibility for any "concentration" of money and credit that may exist. In Its coucluMoriH as to tho commit tee's activities the letter said: "We venture to submit that In u strong public opinion there IIcb the greotest safeguard of the community. The public are the one who entrust bankers with I such Influenco and power uh they today ! havo In every civilized in nil and the pub- Ho Is unlikely to entrust that power to weak or evil hands. Your counsel nsked witnesses whether the present power held by bankers In this country would not bo a menace If It lay In evil hands. If congrets wore to fall Into evil hands the results might be deplorable. Hut to us It seems ns little llkelv thnt the citi zens of this country will fill congress with rascals as It Is that they will entrust the leadership of tholr business and finan cial affairs to a set of clever rogues." line tn Nil 1 11 ni l I.iitt. The letter says that such concentra tion of money In New York as has oc curred Is due to the "antiquated banking system" and the natural law which "In every country creates some ono city as tho great financial . center." Thnt part of the money trust resolution declaring that It "Is generally believed" that groups of financiers!', create, avert and compose panics 'was' particularly at tacked by the letter. Morgan & Co. set forth that any wltnlioldlng of money .or credit by one man In any market would bo "promptly relieved by tho automatic flow of credit from eomo altogether for eign source." "We regret," said the letter, "that a belief ho Incredible, to abhorrent and bo harmful to tho country should for a mo ment have found lodgment anywhere. And wo welcome your Invitation as an opportunity for us to state that, to the extent of our observation and experi ence, there Is not even a vestige of truth In the Idea that In whole or In part tho financial convulsion of 1M7 was brought on through the design of any man or men." lllrlnic Attorneys Criticised.
