FOR BUTT-MILLET MEMORIAL
New York Times
Senate Proposal Thus to Honor TItanic Victims
Goes Over
---
WASHINGTON, June 8---An effort was made in the Senate to-day
to have adopted a resolution granting authority to erect on public land
in Washington a joint memorial to the memory of Major ArchibaId W. Butt
and F. D. Millet, the Washington artist, both of whom went down with
the Titanic.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota made objection and the
question went over. Mr. McCumber based his objection on the ground that
to
select two of these victims from the entire number would be invidious.
He
wanted further time to prepare an amendment. The proposed memorial is a
drinking fountain. Friends of the two men have subscribed the money for
its erection.
