ronila. NEW Tronic, Jan. 2. J. 1. Morgan &
Co. announced today that It has severed
Its connection with some o tha greatest
corporations In the country with which
It has long been connected. This step, the

the problems and criticisms having to do
with so-called interlocking directorates."
Among tho companies from which they
they retired are the New York Central
and the New Haven railroads.
J. P. Morgan made this statement: "Tho
necessity of attending many board meet
ings has been so serious a burden on our
time that we have long wished to with
draw from tho directorates of mahy cor
porations. Many or these directorates we
accepted with reluctance and only be
cause we felt constrained to keep in
touch with properties wo had reorgan
ized, or whoso securities we had recom
t mended to tho public, both here and
abroad.
"An apparent change In public senti
ment In retard to directorships seems
now to warrant us in seeking to resign
from some of these connections.
"Indeed, It may bo In view of tho change
In sentiment on tho subject that we shall
bo In a better position to serve such prop
erties and their security holders, if we
are not directors. Wo have already re
signed from the companies mentioned and
wo expect from time to time to withdraw
from other boards on which wo feci thcro
Is no special obligation to remain."
Tho companies to which Mr. Morgan
referred from whoso boards members of
the firm havo already submitted their
resignation as directors arc:
.1. P. Morgan Now York. Central &
Hudson Kiver Itallroad company! West

By withdrawing from these corporations
J. P. Morgan & Co. havo cut the strings
that havo held together many of the
country's most Important corporations In
a community of Interests which has been
assailed within and without congress.
The house of Morgan feels that it has
kept within tho law. In all Its complex
operations and that no legal necessity or
threatened complications with tho au
thorities at Washington has mado It
necessary to adopt a sweeping change In

Prof. Henderson declared missionaries

than preach.
"Many kinds of social services aro de
manded by various situations," said he.
"not only caring for tho sick and teach

to act as guides of municipal, provincial
and national law makers, who are al
ready awaro of tho fact that they must
learn from western science.
"The young men who nro to command
attention and hold Influence In the mis
sion fields today must have .a long and
thorough discipline In science and ex
perience. This training should begin In
tho secondary schools, extend through
college and be specialized in graduate
studies."

Years to Pay Her
Husband's Detbs
WEBSTER CITY, la.. Jan. 2.-(Special.)
Mrs. Andrew Knudson has Just
filed In this city with County Clerk Ster
ling a most .peculiar paper ono that re
veals a story of unusual heart Interest,
showing how a widow, after a lapse of
twenty-soven years, has been enabled to
fulfill nn ambition to pay in full ovcry
debt owed by her husband nt the time

Knudson then and thero pecum pos
sessed of a determination to some day
pay tho amount remaining Unpaid, which
was something over $500. She was not
obliged under the law to do this, but her
petition filed In court states that It has
been her "determination ever sincu tho
death of her husband to make payment
in full of all his debts."
Under tho disposition of tho estate,
which was not large, Mrs. Knudson, of
course, came Into possession of n little
property. She worked and waited nil tho
Intervening twenty-seven years nnd
finally found herself with enough money.
So She went through the old records nt
the court house and got a list of her
husband's creditors. Ho far as she has

paid In full, and now Mrs. Knudson has
filed a supplementary report so tho rec
ords will show clearly that all her hUB
band's debts were satisfied in full, So
far as Is known, this is tho first time
anything of tho kind ever hapioned in
Hamilton county.

Chain of Banks Will
Make Small Loans
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Confirmation of
reports from Berlin that Julius Rosen
wald of Chicago, who Is at present in
vestigating European banking systems
for financing men of small means,
would soon establish In this country a
chain of banks In an effort to aid small
borrowers who are unable to obtain
loans from ordinary financial institu
tions, was given hero last night by Dr.
Edwin R. L. Gould. Mr. Rosenwald Is
co-operating with Andrew Carnegie and
Vincent Astor and others, Dr. Gould
said. H Is probable that Dr. Gould will
; bo neaa or me system oi un, me nrsi
i of which Is to be established In Chicago
with a capital of several hundred thous
and dollars.
"I havo studied the systems," Dr.
Gould said, "nnd conferred with others
as to tho practicability of Its adoption In
America. In reality, It is not a banking
system, but a system of credit and loan.
There are 15,70) Institutions In Germany
of this kind and they are controlled by
a control institution. The whole Idea Is
to establish credit for the small man on
tha basis of character, just as is done
I In Italy, Austria, Germany and Ireland."

HENCHMEN WAITING SIGNAL
Governor Morehcad's Boosters
Ready for Big Campaign.
SCHEME IS PRACTICALLY SET
Friends of the Executive. Will So
licit Ills Enteral w the llnoc fur
rie.KIecHon' to , the Preji
ent 'Of Mce.
Tho henchmen have been properly
couched and aro now ready to begin the
circulation of a petition placing Governor
John H. Morehcad In nomination for re
election ns governor of Nebraska. Yes,
they havo been properly coached to stort
the potltlon- In Omaha and soverul purts
of the state at practically tha same time.
Tho governor knows about tho coaching,
and ho Is Just sitting back In tho ex
ecutive chair waiting for his "friends to
bring him out for the nomination."
Of course, when "friends bring one out"
and insist, ono cannot without showing
gross Ingratitude, graciously decline.
There ure several distinct reasons why
It Is necessary for "friends to bring tho
governor out." Tho big, staring, glaring,
flaring reason Is that in his campaign
for election as governor Mr. Morohend
repeatedly announced that he would ask
only ono term, and that under no con
sideration would he nsk to bo re-elected.
That promise Is easy to make during
campaigns. Likewise is It hard to live
up to, when one once gets a taste of tho
Joys of being a chief executive. It Is so
nice to be It again.
Different Tlinn Roosevelt.
But Governor Morchead dislikes to do
the Roosevelt act and deliberately seek
the office after he has publicly said ho
would never do such a thing. It Is much
nicer to have "friends urge ono to come
out." So the friends have been coached
to do the urging.
Then, too, thero Is a burning, stinging
reason why tho governor must look for
re-election if ho Is to bo In politics nt
all. His other plans for his futuro are
not materializing.
Thefce other plans were to Innd himself
In congress in tho place of Congressman
jjnhn A. Magulre of tho First district.
I "From governor to representative in
congress," that was Mr. Moreneoo b orig
inal program. What happened to It? The
sentiment of 'he leading democrats of
the First district will give some clue to
what happened to it. Tho leading demo
crats there will not Stand for shelving
John A. Magulre In favor of Governor
Morehead Tho leading newspapers r,f
Cass, Richardson, Nemaha, Otoe, Lan
caster, Johnson and Paw nro counties
havo mado It clear that they are not In
favor of shoving Mugulro asldo to make
a place for Morehead in congress.
So tho governor topk counsel with Mm
self, and incidentally a few of his friends,
and the result Is that his friends are
primed to begin the circulation of peti
tions to place him In nomination for re
election as governor.
This will likely mean that ho will ha'o
to beat Georgo W. Berge of Lincoln nt
tho primaries, and many political proph
ets doubt his ability to do that In view
of the good race Berge mado for gov
ernor In 1901.
