LEASED MANSION
FOR CONVENTION
Morgan to Entertain Bishops
and Other Notables..
AT GATHERING AT RICHMOND. VA.
Has Taken Large Mansion Lor This
tspecial Purpose and Will Extend
Lavish Hospitality-Great Bank
ers Not to Unite With Ro
man Catholic Church.
RICHMOND, VA., Sept. 20.—J. Pier
pont Morgan, who will be among the
lay delegates to the general conven
tion of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, which assembles here next
month, has made elaborte prearations
for entertaining while here. His resi
dence, for the period of the stay in
Richmond, will be one of the hand
somest of Richmond homes.
Mr. Morgan will carry out in Rich
mond the custom he has laid down in
-other cities, and his agents have
rented for October the famous old
Thomas mansion, at the corner of
Second and Grace streets, where the
New York banker and millionaire will
entertain in handsome style.
The house which will be Mr. Mor
gan's headquarters stands in one of
the most desirable sections of Grace
street and is centrally situated. A
few blocks away is the Jefferson Ho
tel, on Franklin street, which will be
in a measure the headquarters of the
convention, which has been placed
at the disposal of Bishop Gibson of
the diocese of Virginia, and will be
used as a sort of bishops’ club for
the period of the gathering.
The Thomas house is one of the
largest private homes in this city,
being a square three-story brick man
sion, standing in grounds which oc
cupy a half block along the Grace
street front. Ample stables and out
buildings are on the premises, and
the house itself is fitted and furnished
in a style which represents the best
taste of an old regime of Virginia
gentry.
Will Lavishly Entertain.
The negotiations for the house
were conducted by Mr. Morgan’s pri
vate secretary, who came to Rich
mond early last spring, dealing direct
with the owners and without the as
sistance of the committee arranging
for the convention. It is generally
understood that the rent for the month
of October was fixed at $5,000, for the
house completely furnished, in addi
tion to which Mr. Morgan agreed to
make certain alterations, which are
now in progress.
Members of the committee have
not been informed as yet just when
Mr. Morgan wil come to Richmond,
but it is expected that he will certain
ly be here for the opening service on
October 2. Mr. Morgan expects to
bring with him from his house in
New York a full staff of servants, in
cluding his chief, and it is said, that
he will entertain extensively while
in the city. It is known that several
prominent bishos and laymen will
be his guests during the term of con
vention, and judging by his custom
at former conventions, it may be taken
for granted that his house will be the
scene of a lavish hospitality through
out the term of the convention.
Discounts Insistent Rumor.
The fact that Mr. Morgan will at
tend as a delegate from his diocese,
and take so prominent a part in this
great Episcopal gathering, is taken
as effectually setting at rest the oft
repeated rumors that the great banker
contemplated changing his allegiance
to the Roman Catholic Church.
Mr. Morgan is known to have many
intimate friends in the Catholic faith,
including his, partner, Mr. Drexel, and
his public reception by the Pope
while in Rome last winter seemed to
give color to the rumors.
The custum of renting a house for
the motnh of the convention inaugu
rated by Mr. Morgan when a dele
gate to the San Francisco convention
six years ago has been followed by
a number of other prominent people
in the church, and from current re
ports a dozen or more private homes
in Richmond have been leased for
October to members of attendants on
the convention.

MR. ROGERS WILL SOON RETIRE
Looking Around Now for a Successor
To the Man Who Has Directed Mo
nopoly’s Affairs Lor Years—
Right Now Hard to find.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. (Special)
Things have been happening so fast
in the last few months to the Stan
dard Oil Company and the companies
in which it is interested that John D.
Rockefeller has declared that it is
time for him to take a hand. He has
been down at his office twice in two
weeks, although before that he had
not been down for eight years.
He did a great deal of looking
around on these two occasions, and
it is understood that he is going to
keep a close watch on the manage
ment of the company until several
important matters are cleared up.
This will not be the case until a
successor for H. H. Rogers, who has
been the active head of the organi
zation for a long time, and whois now,
it is conceded, to retire permanently
owing to ill health, has been chosen;
until the affairs of Amalgamated
Copper and the copper situation gen
erally have been adjusted; until the
hearing here before Judge Ferris is
weathered; the policy for fighting the
$29,240,000 fine is decided on, and the
company has got back some of the
peace of mind it enjoyed a few years
ago.
Rogers' Illness Hurt Markets.
11. H. Rogers has been one of the
most active 1 usiness men of the
country, and the news of his illness
in July had a pronounced effect on
The financial market, and on the cop
per market in particular.
Then it came out in testimony on
Monday that Mr. Rogers’ health was
such that he would probably have to
retire definitely from active business;
and the question of who was to suc
ceed him as vice-president of the
Standard Oil Company, president of
the Amalgamated Copper Company,
and vice-president of the United Met
als Selling Company, which disposes

The ills peculiar to women, take different forms.
Some ladies suffer, every month, from dark rings round their eyes, blotches on their skin and tired
feeling. Others suffer agonies of pain, that words can hardly express.
Whatever the symptoms, remember there is one medicine that will go beyond mere symptoms, and
act on the cause of their troubles, the weakened womanly organs.

of all the product of Amalgamated,
was discussed with interest.
H. H. Rogers, Jr v is one of the pos
sibilities, but he is only twenty-eight
and not sufficiently acquainted with
the business to step into his father's
shoes. Urban 11. Broughton, treas
urer of the United Metals Selling-
Company and Mr. Rogers’ son-in-law,
was considered, on the whole, much
the most likely to get the vacancy.
Broughton an Englishman.
Mr Broughton is an Englishman
about forty-five years old. He was a
mining engineer and later became a
civil engineer. He came to this coun
try as the president and manager of
the Shone Company, a Western cor
poration which manufactured sani
tary appliances.
Mr. Broughton had a letter to Mr.
Rogers, Sr., and the consequence of
this was that he met the latter's
daughter and a romance followed
that culminated in marriage.
When Henry H. Rogers became the
head of the Amalgamated Copper
Company, and the United Metals Sel
ling Company was organized to han
dle its output, Mr. Rogers saw to it
that Mr. Broughton became its man
ager.
