MAI. BUTTS PLACE
NOT YET FILLED
President Taft Has Not Asked War
Department to Fill Vacancy
as Chief Aid.

President Taft has not yet asked the
War Department to detail a chief White
House aid to I'LL the vacancy caused by
the death of Maj. Butt. The War De-
partment will not oficially recognize the
death Of Maj. Butt until a period of
thirty days have elapsed, when his name
viii be officially stricken from the army
list, his death will be published to the
service, his pay will be stopped, and the
senior captain in the Quartermaster's $
Department will be promoted TO the va
cancy in the list Of majors.
Maj. Butt was promoted from captain
March 3, 1911, and the vacancy will be
filed by the promotion Of Capt. Ralph
Harrison, of Missouri. When Mai. Butt
went on leave six weeks ago, First Lieut..
Charles X. Rockwell. OF the Engineer
Corps. was detailed by President Taft to
temporarily take his place Lieut.. Rock
well has performed since Maj. Butts de-
parture the functions Of chief White
House aid. and will continue TO act in
this capacity for perhaps a week or more.
until an oficer is permanently selected
for the place
The position of chief White House aid
is the most important post. perhaps, Of
all on the White House staff. Maj. Co.'S
by is the senior aid, and as such he is
superintendent Of public buildings and
grounds. Lieut.. John W. Timmons. u.
S. N, son-in-law. Of former Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks. is senior naval aid. He
and all the other aids, however. have
regular military or naval duties to per-
form. The chief White House aid has
no other duties than to have charge Of
all White House functions and serve the
will of the President or Mrs. Taft
Mai Butt was depot quartermaster in
Washington when selected in 1905. I'm
der a recent ruling OF the War Depart
ment, all officers who have been sep
arated from their regular commands or
branches of the service for four years
have to be returned. Accordingly,
Archie" Butt would have been returned,
to his regular military duties some time
this summer. He probably would have
been made chief quartermaster of the
Eastern Division. at New York.

COLONEL EXPECTS
PROGRESSIVE AID
Tells Arkansans He Wants
Support of Democrats and
Republicans Alike.
NOW SURE HE WILL WIN

Little Rock, Ark, April 20-Col. Roose-
welt made it plain here tonight that If
nominated he would expect the support
OF all progressives, Republicans and
Democrats alike.
I'VE are standing for the interests Of
the plain people everywhere and DEM
ocrats are Just as much interested as
the Republicans in seeing the triumph
of our principles" he said. I'VE are
trying IN good faith TO reduce to actual
practice the old American doctrine OF
the right Of the people to rule. In this
great contest l. feel I have a right TO
speak not only to all progressive men
Of my own but to all American citizens
of any party"
Roosevelt refrained from telling the
crowd that he expected to get the NOM
ination, although he is now fully con-
WINGED that he will win News that
came TO his special train as he whirled
across Arkansas to-day that he had won
the Oregon and Nebraska primaries was
enough TO make him sure Of the NOM
ination
The former President came here after
ffteen-hour ride across Arkansas to
put in a word for himself in advance
OF the district conventions, that start
next week. Arkansas has eighteen dele
gates to the Chicago convention. and It
looks as II President Taft will be able
TO elect a majority of them.
Roosevelt reverted to the Titanic dis
aster here TO emphasize his theory of
WOrkmen's compensation.
We have all been shocked by the ter
rible disaster to the Titanic" said he.
Il wish TO call the attention of our
people to the fact that under the English
workmen's compensation act the widows
and orphans of every sailor on that ship
will be compensated for the loss of the
breadwinner, whereas. in the State of
New York. for which that shin was
bound, the Court of Appeals has de-
clared that the people OF the State were
powerless to enact such a law. That
decision is blot upon American justice
and American civilization, and 1 shall
never rest until 1t is overridden and re-
versed"

Two bouncing baby boys, one four and
the other about two years, whose names
are unknown, and who have been adopt
ed by Miss Margaret Hays who was
also rescued from the Titanic. Miss
Hays says she first took notice Of the two
youngsters, both handsome little fellows,
as they played about on the deck Of the
Carpathia soon after the survivors were
taken on board. The little fellows could
not speak a word Of English. and when
Miss Hays spoke a few words in French
they were delighted, and Immediately a
warm affection sprang UP between the
three survivors. Miss Hays says that
the boys were taken away in the last
boat that left the side Of the Titanic.
Just as the boat was leaving a man ap-
peared at the deck with the two boys in
his arms and shouted to those in the
boat. They Immediately understood. and

JOHN HAYS HAMMOND
WOULD HAVE CONGRESS
MAKE APPROPRIATION

An agitation has been started at tht
White House among the friends Of Mai
Butt for the erection of a memorial in
this city to the Presidents late military
| aid.
1t is planned TO make the project a
national tribute and to have Congress
make an appropriation OF $4,000 for the
purpose. John Hays Hammond is one OF
those who has enlisted himself in the
movement.
II meant to start a private subscrip-
ton fund for the purpose he said at
the White House yesterday. but I think
IL would be much more appropriate II
Congress took the initiative. The me-
mortal would then be in the nature OF
a national tribute. Maj. Butts conduct
was that Of a hero and deserves ON
cial recognition
Make Letter Public.
The War Department yesterday made
public a letter written by President Taft
while he was a member Of the Philip
pine Commission in 1901. recommending
Mai. Butt for appointment as captain
and assistant quartermaster In the
army. The letter, which was written to
the Secretary of War. follows:
The Honorable, the Secretary Of War.
sir: / have great pleasure in COM
mending to you for appointment as cap
tain and assistant quartermaster in the

the United States volunteers, and is in
charge OF land transportation in the city
OF Manila have had occasion to know
something about the very, great effi-
cheney with which Capt Butt has dis
charged his duties and the respect and
approval which he has merited and won
from his superior officers. In discussing
the matter with Gen. Macarthur he said
to me that I should certainly make no
mistake in recommending Capt. Butt for
the position to which he aspires.
"CapacIty to Do Things"
His experience here has been most
valuable to him, and 1t seems a pity, by
the mere lapse Of the volunteer law, TO
lose an officer who has demonstrated his
capacity to do things and TO meet dim
culties which present themselves in a
situation with the means he has at hand

body else to furnish additional instru-
ments. WILLIAM X. TAFT"
