Locust Valley, N. Y., May 9.—Men and women of international promin- ence in the world of finance and so- elety howed with plain villagers in a mon grief today at the bier of Henry P! Davispn, financier, philan- throphist and head of the American ‘Red Cross during the world war, who dled Baturday. The little ivy-covered chapel of St. Joh p1 of Lattintown, nestling among the fowering ‘hills of this pldturesque Long Island village was crowded be- yond -all capacity. Many hundreds, unable to' gain admittance, stood si- lently outside. A special train and automobiles conveyed many mourners from New York, carried them pasp apple trees in blossom and acre aftér acre of, vel- velty green lawns of the estates of milkonaires. Iast Wishes Carried Out The last wishes of Mr. Davison were fuifijled. Members of his family, al- though dressed in black, did not wear deep mourning. The service itself was as unostentatious as possible. The eulogy was omitted. The church serv- ice followed private services at the home and the scene at the graveside was reserved for only those nearest and dearest. The service was conducted.by the Rey. Charies W. Hinton, assisted by the Rev. Endicott Peabody, headmas- ter of Groton school. A mixed quar- tet from St. Bartholomew's in New York sang Mr. Davison's favorite hymns—*“Abide with Me,” and “On- ward Christian Soldiers.” The active pallbearers were members of Mr. Da- vison's office staff at J. P. Morgan and’ Co. \ The Red Cross which Mr. Davison served so ably with a world in tur- moil, played an important role in the final tribute to him. In the little church® banked with flowers, a green laurel wreath bearing the Red Cross symboal occupied the place of honor. Over the casket from the rafters hung the flag of the Unit- ed States and the Red Cross. Outside the chapel stood a group of nurses, who during the war had hailed Mr. Dayison as their chief. Ten trucks carried the floral trib- utes to the church. They came from individuals in all ranks of life and from civic and financial organizations with which'the banker had been con- nected. The flowers so filled the chapel that ordinarily able to accommodate 250, it could seat but 150. Outside, on a country road, gay -with .spring blos- soms, men whose names carry author- ity ‘in ‘the world ‘of affairs, mingled with simple villagers, POLICE: BOARD MEETING First Regular Mecting Tonight—New Patrolman Will Be Named — Dis- cussion About New Sergeant. .
