Was one of the composites used Major Archibald Butt?
From the Chicago Tribune, April 19, 1912
TAFT'S TRIBUTE TO BUTT
WASHINGTON - April 19 - President Taft was notified as soon as the Carpathia docked and the corrected list of suvivors was made public that Major Butt was not on board. With all hope for the rescue of his aid abandoned, the President to-day issued a statement showing the high regard in which he held him and his beliefs that he died as a man should die in the face of such a disaster as that of the Titanic. The President said:
"Major Archie Butt was my miliatry aid. He was like a member of my family and I feel his loss as if he had been a younger brother. The chief trait of his character was loyalty to his ideals, his cloth, and his friends. His character was a smiple one, in the sense that he was incapable of intrigue or insincerity. He was gentle and considerate to every one, high and low. He never lost under any conditions, his sense of proper regard to what he considered the respet due to constitued authority. He was an earnest member of the Episcopal Church and loved that communion. He was a soldier every inch of himself a most competent and successful Quatermaster and a deovtee of his profession."
"After I heard that part of the ship's company had gone down I gave up hope for the rescue of Major Butt, unless by accident. I knew that he would certainly remain on the ship's deck until every duty had been performed and every sacrifice made that properly fell on one charged as he would feel himself charged with responsibility for the rescue of others."
"He leaves the widest circle of friends, whose memory of him is sweet in every particular.
Whatever was the mission of Major Butt from the President to Rome and all sorts of false and conflicting stories have been printed about it - the President is advised in a general way of its outcome by the letter he received yesterday from the Major dated at Rome and mailed just before he sailed.
What is in this letter is closely guarded. It is understood however that in it the Major revealed the results of his mission and stated the substance of what was in the letters which he carred and which probably went down with him on the Titanic.
A belief held by some that Major Butt handed letters in his possion to some one who escaped, with a request to deliever them to the President is considered improbable.
Gen Clarence R. Edwards, Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, a close personal friend of Maj Butt, who frequently played golf in foresomes with Major Butt, President Taft and Vice President Sherman said to-night:
"Maj Butt died like the fine, big man we all knew him to be. He had the very essence and traditions of the service as much as any man I ever knew who was not a West Pointed. He was absolutely devoted to the President. No aid de camp in the world was ever more devoted."
"The best thing about Maj Butt was the fact that he was always cheerful, loyal and discreet. He did not advance his opinions but when asked for, he gave them. He had a jolly sense of humor all the time and could not be angered by being guyed or joked."
ROOSEVELT'S PRAISE FOR BUTT
LINDSBERG, Kan. April 19 - Col. Roosevelt to-day paid a tribute to the heroism of Major Butt, who perished in the Titanic disaster.
"Major Butt was the highest type of officer and gentleman", said Col. Roosevelt. "He met his end as an officer and gentleman should givingup his own life that others might be saved. I and my family all loved him sincerely."
