The following expressions were made
yesterday by leading men of the finan-
cia district when they were informed
of Mr.. Davison's death:
Albert n. Wiggin, chairman of the
board and president of the Chase Ma
tional Bank: He was a wonderful
man and made most remarkable
record. He died comparatively young,
but had reached the pinnacle of sue
cess. Nobody had done more for his
country and his city than he did. No
body ever left a larger number of sin
cere friends. His loss is irrparable.
Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the
board Of the United States steel Cor
poration: THE country has lost one OF
the ablest and most promising OF us
middle-aged men. His success in
financial matters has been phenomenal
He was greatly admired and beloved
by all who knew him.
Mortimer l.. Schitf, of the banking

Of Mr.. DAWSON is a great loss to the
entire country. He was one of the
constructive and public spirited men
who can i'll be spared. All will mourn
his loss"
Charles Z. Mitchell. president of the

been day since he has been away
from Wall Street that he has not been
distinctly missed He was the out
standing financial figure of the decade,
and its strongest financial leader"
jackson f. Reynolds, president of the
First National Bank of New York:
The community has lost its most
courageous and self-sacrfcinR citizen.
Henry Fairfield Osborne, president Of
the American Museum, telegraphed
from Garrison, n. Y:
we have lost one of the best men
of our times, Just at the moment when
he was most needed for the worlds
reconstruction. He had won a rare
position in America, England and
France. Both in finance and in philan-
genial and confident spirit helped to
crisis and his warm sympathy for the
brave men and women of the Allies
made his selection by President Wilson
as head of the Red Gross an ideal one
Millions of the men and women he
helped have thought of him in the long
and hard struggle ne has made for his
own life during the last two years and
will grieve over the sad ending. Our
only consolation now is in the belief
that such q death is victory and that
the life of such patriot will give new
courage and fortitude to those VINO are
striving to maintain the high and I'M
selfish standard of true Americanism."
