BUTT WON FAME
SAVING MULES
Presidents Aide Improved the
Transportation Methods in
Philippine Campaign.

It was the success of Captain Archibald
". Butt in handling mules. chiefly. and
also in successfully directing his end of
the quartermaster's department In the
Philippines. along in 1900, while a captain
Of volunteers from Georgia, that directed
the attention Of the war department his
way and later led up to his selection
from among thousands as military aide
to President ThOdOre Roosevelt. After
he had been fifteen months with Pres
ident Roosevelt, President William II. Taft
took the retnS as chief executive. And
Captain Archibald Butt was one of the
few of the old regime to remain.
Captain Butt-Archie Butt-has gained
the title of being the Presidents shadow.
There is not a time when the President
is out of his room that the military aide
is not at his side. He has been there
ever since William Howard Taft became
President of the United States. Captain
Butt is a genial good fellow, a former
newspaper man and much sought after
at all functions wherein the President
takes a part.
While archie" Butt was a newspaper
correspondent in Washington he took the
command Of a volunteer company, as cap
tain QuarteTmaster, and saw service both
in the Philippines and in Cuba. He was
accepted by the government on Jan. -.
1890, and was honOrably discharged from
the volunteer service on June 80, 1901. 1t
was during the brilliant career of the
young officer in the volunteer service
that the attention Of the war department
was called to him. He was the first man
to take a shipload of mules to the Phil
ippines without losing a mule, and the
method he employed was most simple.
All Captain Butt did was to dump the
mules into the water and make them
swim to shore. Other officers had put
the mules in sings and lifted them from
the large vessels to smaller ones, and
had killed 200 or more before they landed
them. This Was one of the achievements
of the young officer and other original
and successful undertakings were 1Otted
down to his credit.
Some persons have confused Captain
Butt with an officer formerly at Fort
Douglas The Presidents aide said last
night that the officer who was once at
the local post was Captain Edmund Butts
and no relative.

ly impaired, Mr.. Pulitzer called him to
the magnificent palace of the publisher at
Bar HaTbOr and told him to take Mrs
Dunlap for a European trip. He also told
him to stay until he was fully recupeT-

When Dunlap came back the Washing
ton billet was given him in preference to
the more eXacting duties of a managing
editor. Although he has never had a
photograph taken, nor was he ever the

maps no more competent and modest
newspaperman in the United States than
Dunlap. Not quite 40 years of age. he
has seen most Of the civilized countries
of the world, and has an acquaintance
among statesmen and diplomats that few
other correspondents have been able to
