Rome, Italy, March 30.—J. Pier-

American financier, died here
at noon today.
Mr. Morgan failed rapidly this
morning, lie was unable to assimi

pulse were more rapid and his tem

fore noon, when the attending phy
sicians issued a bulletin, stating that
his death might be expected at any
moment.
He died at 12:05 this afternoon.
Dr. M.Allen Starl, who was call
ed Into consultation in connection
with Mr. Morgan’s illness, said that
the financier’s break-down was due
to the strain caused by the investiga
tion by the Pujo committee at Wash
ington into the opinions of the al
leged money trust.
When death was 6een to be ap
proaching, the attending physicians
forced Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Sat-

to leave, the room.
Only by a movement of the hand
did Mr. Morgan show that he was

Story of His Life Briefly Told.
John Pierpont Morgan was born
April 17, 1837, in a modest red
brick cottage at Hartford, Connecti
cut. As a youngster, bis tendency
to write poetry gave him the nick
name of ‘Pip.’’ When he was four

School, where he showed a particu

After graduating at the Boston:
school, he was a student for two
years in Goettings, Germany.

SUITE UW TO MUZZLE ORES
Atlanta, March 31.— "If the city
of Atlanta will not put muzzles on
dangerous dog*, lets see whether the
State of Georgia will,” says Alder
man VanDyke, in substance, this
morning. Since Mayor Woodward
has vetoed the first dog-muzzling
ordinance passed by council, the
alderman announces that he will
draft another, and that if it meets
the same fate, he will take steps to
have a general dog muzzling bill
introduced in the legislature.
It is his proposal to have a gen
eral law in Georgia, for a specific
.lumber of months, to run out auto
matically, keeping the dogs muz
zled for a long enough time to
stamp out the present prevalence of
rabies, which amounts to almost
an epidemic in some sections.

Wcira SCRAPES
Two cutting scrapes enlivened
things for the police yesterday, and
both of them occurred In the South
section of (he city. One was in the
Pear Orchard, on South Street, and

hired men cut Arthur Cromartles.
It seems that the two men got Into
a scuffle over seventy-five cents,
which (Arthur owed Coot and toe lat

flesh in lieu of his money. The re

side, back, hand and leg. The
wound in the side is more serious,
and although It Is expected that he

The other scrap was between two
women one using a fire poker made
of Iron and the other a perfectly
sharp and keen knife. Lula Gur

Florence Clark a stab In the side
which was sufficient to stop the
fight. The Clnrk woman was also
hit over the head with an Iron in

prove fatal.
