The profound truth that tomorrow
never comes and yesterday, although

the conclusion, Although yesterday

yesterday tomorrow would be the day
after tomorrow, because today would
be tomorrow yesterday, and tomorrow
will be today tomorrow or would have
been the day after tomorrow yester-

100000 BLAZE
AT HOME OF
H. P. DAWSON

GIencove, L. l., April 3.-The Sum-
mer home of Henry P. Dawson of the
firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., situated
on Peacock Point on the Long Island
Sound, was entirely destroyed by fire
late yesterday afternoon. The loss is
| estimated at from 100000 to $685.
900. The Dawson place adjoined that
of William D. Guthrie and was not
far from J. p Morgan, Jr.'s, and the
Howard Whitney place. 1t was one
of the handsomest residences on Long
Island.
The house, three-story brick and
white stone structure, covered a large
area, and was practically rebuilt last
Spring. 1t had been closed all Win
ter, but there were caretakers in q
small house not far away.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dawson,
with her sons, Trubee and Harry, and
three of their school chun1s, motored
out from New York to spend the day.
1t was quite cool in the house there
was a strong wind blowing from the
Sound, and the boys decided to build
wood fire in the fireplace in the
west end of the house. Logs were
brought and these were lighted short
Iy after noon. The wood made SO
much smoke that the boys decided
there was something wrong with the
chimney. They put out the fire and
but were unable to do so and after
time gave up the search for it.
The boys then engaged in a game of
ball on the lawn in front of the house
and Mrs. Dawson sat at a window
watching them. So absorbed were
they in their play that they did not
notice a fire in the upper part of the
west end of the house. 1t was about
4 o'clock when one of the caretakers
saw smoke coming from the top of
the house and he quickly gave the
alarm.
The five boys, with the caretakers,
then ran to the top floor of the build
ing and found it ab1aze.. Realizing
they could do little to eXtinguish the
flames they turned their attention to
saving the furniture and other valua-
b1es in the house. A telephone call
was sent to Glen Cove, three miles
away, for the fire apparatus. A num-
Der of valuable rugs and some costly
furniture and bric-a-brac in the lower
floors of the house were carried out
before the flames spread through the
building.
