nights. and whose eyes are hard and stony with grief while their lips
ltremble when they ask for the news they fear to get.
Henry w. Taft. . brother OF the President. was one Of the earliest
callers. and while he was waiting to see one Of the omcials to get some
news concerning the fate of Major Archibald Butt and Frank b. Mnlet. the
Mr.. Taft was among the several men who went TO the aid Of these women.
who were soon revived and supported outside to taxcabs or private .limou-
snes.
The brother Of the President expressed the deepest grief over the prob.
able loss of MajorBut and Artist Minet, both Of whom were intimate
friends. He waited for almost . hour before he got word that neither
the names Of the Presidents military aid nor of the famous painter had
been added to the list OF survivors.
