Butt Last Dinner.
The first indirect information re-
garding Major Archibald W. Butt, the
military aide Of President Taft, came
out this afternoon. 1t became apparent
that he was attending dinner party
given by the Wideners. Frederick
Ray, the waiter who served the table
at which Major Butt, Clarence Moore
and Frank D. Millet, the artist, took
their meals, was on the stand. He was
told by Mrs. Moore after reaching here
that Major Butt was dining with the
Wideners. Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Millet
dined together Sunday night.
1t was also stated by Mr.. Ray that
four lifeboats on the starboard were
lowered to deck A and loaded there
No notice was given that this would be
done and many passengers who might
have EN- mbarked in them were thus left
to their fate.
1t transpired today that Louis Klein.
tho Hungarian seaman who told lurid
story Of intoxication and debauchery
on the Titanic before the collision,
was not carried on the ships list OF
enumerated among the survivors. Sec.
ond Officer 1ightoller testified that
the only Klein on board was An as
