HUNDRED STOOD OUTSIDE.
Unable to Get Into Little Chapel for
Davison's Funeral.

Locust Valley, N. ", May D. Mer
and women of international prominence
in the world of finance and society
bowed with plain villagers in com
mon grief to-day at the bier OF Henry
p. Dawson, financier, philanthropist and
head of the American Red Cross during
the World war, who died Saturday.
The little ivy-covered chapel of st.
Johns of Lattingtown. nesting among
the towering hills of the picturesque
Lond Island village, was crowded beyond
all capacity Many hundreds unable TO
gain admittance, stood silently out
side.
The last wishes of Mr. Dawson were
fulfilled. Members of his family, al
though dressed in black, did not wear
deep mourning. The service itself was
as unostentatious az possible. The
eulogy was omitted. The church serv-
ice followed private services at the
home, and the scene at the grave side
was reserved for only those nearest
and dearest.
The service was conducted by Rev.
Charles w. Hinton, assisted by Rev.
Endicott Peabody, head master OF
Groton school. A mixed quartette from
st. Bartholomew in New York sang
Mr. Davison's favorite hymns Abide
With Me" and Onward Christian Sol
diers.r The active pail bearers were
members of Mr.. Davison's office stafl
at J r. Morgan and company.
The Red Cross. which Mr.. Dawson
servedSso ably with world in tur-
moil, played an important role in the
final tribute to him
In the little church. banked with
flowers, green laurel wreath bearing
the Red Cross symbol, occupied the
place of honor. Over the casket, from
the rafters hung the flag of the United
States and the Red Cross. Outside the
chapel stood a group of nurses who,
during the war; had hailed Mr.. Dawson
as their chief.
Ten trucks carried the floral trib-
utes to the church. The flowers so filled
the chapel that ordinarily able to ac-
commodate $50 it could seat only $50.
y. p. Morgan and Charles Steele,
partners OF Mr.. Dawson, led the pro
cession into the chapel Mrs. Dawson
did not attend the public service but
in the rectory nearby.
Assembled for the service were all
the Morgan partners now in this coun-
try. Present. also, were Otto II. Kahn,
August Belmont, former Ambassador
John w Davis, Felix Warburg and a
host of others.
IL was as simple a ceremony as could
have been held for the humblest Amer
lean. In only one respect did friends OF
the dead not heed his plea for simplic-
ity. That was in the matter of flowers.
The roses and blossoms of locust Val
lev. 80 dear to the man who had lived
among them. were everywhere present.
