FOR BUTT-MILLET MEMORIAL
New York Times
Fountain to Titanic Victims to be Erected Near White House
---
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23---Plans will be completed in the near future
for the dedication of a fountain erected south of the White House in
honor of the memories of Major Archibald W. Butt, former White House
military attaché, and Francis D. Millet, painter and author, who
lost their lives in the Titanic disaster early in 1912. Announcement of
the completion of the fountain was made to-day. Former President Taft
is Chairman of the committee which raised the fund for the erection.
The fountain is small but artistic. It includes a large bowl of Tennessee marble, from the centre of which rises a shaft to the height of 12 feet. The water is thrown aloft from four globes brimming over the sides of the bowl in a cascade.
