to Major Archibald Butt. the Presl-

hours business practically was sus-
Dended while memorial services were
conducted in theatre. Flags were
a. half mast on the public buildings
and the thousands of persons crowded
around the theatre anxious to hear
President Taft speak.
The President was visibly affected
by the tributes paid Major Butt. There
were tears in his eyes as he called up
memories of the man who was MS
aide ever since he entered the White
House. Mr.. Taft made only short adj
dress but he came near breaking down
twice.
"Never did know how much he was
to me until dead,' said the President
Lacking nothing of self-respect anc
giving up nothing he owed to himself
he conducted himself with a single
ness of purpose and to the happiness
and comfort of the President who was
his chief. To many fine qualities ne
added loyalty and when he became
one of my family he was as son OF
a brother"
Mr.. Taft told how he met Major But
first in the Philippines and later az
aide to President Roosevelt. HI
dwelt on Major Butts devotion to Mr.
Roosevelt and to himself.
1T has always seemed to me-" salt
the President. that Archie never mar
ried because he loved his mother sc
The greatest sorrow of his life wa
when she left him."
Mr.. Taft concluded with a wor
more as to Mr.. Butts spirit of sci!
sacrifice. "Self-sacrifice," he sale
had become part of his nature.
Archie could have selected his time t
die. he would have taken the one Go
gave him."
