PRESIDENT SPENDS HIS
25 MINUTES IN ATLANTA
President Woodrow Wilson was in
Atlanta late Wednesday afternoon.
He came in at 4:55 In a special train
of four cars, carrying- his private
physician, Dr. Cary Grayson. Mrs.
Wilson and Misses Eleanor and Mar
garet, and sundry secret service men,
newspaper correspondents and serv
ants. He left at 5:20 en route to the
Gulf Coast, where he will try to gel
some rest, after his strenuous work
on the currency bill.
tn the 25 minutes the President was
here he walked up and down the plat
form ten times, pointed twice, once
north and once south; smiled any
where from 10 to 20 times, bowed
twice, jerked his cap down over his
^ves once, and chatted volubly at all
times—with Dr. Grayson and the se
cret service men who hemmed him
in like a hedge fence.
His arrival was attended by po
ceremony, and his departure was the
same, unless the spectacle of police
men clinging to the steps of the train
could be called something in the na
ture of a ceremony. Some thought ii
might be a ceremony; others couldn’t
figure out just what it was.
Some of Atlanta's policemen dog
ged his steps with a dogged dogged -
ness, ever on the alert for the bomb-
thrower and the flashlight photogra
pher. They began to gather at 4
o’clock. They came in all sizes and
shapes.
Police Do Their Duty.
Shortly before train time their ser
geants arrived and took them down
into the train shed. Fifty or more
common people who were fortunate
enough to have passes went with
them; and 50 more who didn’t hav
hind him, and in five minutes every
one of the escorting policemen and
crowd had HIS hands clasped behind
his back, too.
Hach lap of the Presidential prome
nade was about a hundred yards long,
Hnd it appeared to be highly divert
ing to certain persons who are con
nected with establishments for the
repair of shoes. Most of the crowd
and all of the policemen stuck it out
to the finish, and they executed move
ments that would be the envy of the
military.
President Wilson is taking the trip
South for a complete rest, and news-
pat>er men ,are decidedly taboo with
his guards. One young reporter was
covering his first Presidential assign
ment. and it seemed to him something
like he was covering a hearing of the
Court of F'inal Judgment. He was op-
pressed’and awed bv the solemnity of
the occasion, but he was an adven
turous soul and wanted greatly to get
an interview with the President, or at
least say something to him. He finally
gained the side of Sloan, and after-
gulping once, twice, and thrice, he
spoke as follows, in a strange whisper
that penetrated the silence like a
knife:
“Is there any chance of seeing
him ?”
Now, Jimmy Sloan is considerable
of a humorist. So he looked “sleuthly
around.’’ lowered his voice to a grat
ing whisper, and replied:
“Psst! Sssssh! NO!”
Pindell's Nomination
Held Up Indefinitely,
But Will Go Through
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.—The
nomination of Henry M. Plndell, of
Peoria, 111., to be Ambassador to
Russia, is held up indefinitely. The
correspondence between Representa
tive Stone and Mr. Pindell has not
yet been disclosed to the members of
the Senate subcommittee having the
Pinutll case in charge, although Mr.
Pindell wired a release to Mr. Stone.
Senators Shivley and Burton, of the
subcommittee of the Senate Commit -
tee on Foreign Relations, left Wash
ington last night and do not expect
to return to the Capital before the
reassembling of f’ongresfi. Senator
Stone, the other member of the sub
committee, ife ill.
Despite delay, it is expected that
the Pindell nomination will go
through, the Senate deferring to the
wishes of President Wilson, who re
nominated Mr. Pindell even after the
Lewis-Pindell letters were published.

Electric Car Kills
Virginia Vaughan
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—Miss Vir
ginia Vaughn, writer of lyrics and
passes, but who were wise in their, trans.ator and friend of Ni-
generation, slipped through the bag
gage room and beat them to the
platform.
The police had orders to keep any
one from coming down the steps
while the Presidential train lay in
the yards—and they did it, enthu
siastically and with great vigor. One
copper got so vigorous that he grab
bed a fireman who came whistling
down the steps to oil his engine, and
hustled him up and out onto the
Bridge of Kisses, where the fireman
squirt lubricating oil on the officer,
but didn’t have any luck.
Promptly on time the train rolled
into the station. It stopped, and four
men got out of the rear car—Presi
dent Wilson, Dr. Grayson, Jimmy
Sloan, chief of the Presidential body
guard, and one of Jimmy’s aides.
Sloan came first, reconnoitering, and
was assured by the Atlanta police
men that whatever anarchists and
such truck that might have been
hanging around the premises had
been frightened away or otherwise
disposed of. The local bluecoats were
grouped in a semi-circle about the
tear platform, with the hoi polloi in
the background. After Sloan came
the President, then Dr. Grayson and
the Secret Service man. Sloan got in
front of President Wilson, a Secret
Service man got on one side of him.
and Dr. Grayson on the other, and
the party started up the platform.
That sort of left the Atlanta po
licemen out of the cast, but they soon
arranged heir own parts satisfactori
ly. as did the crowd that had gath
ered. and proceeded to fill in.
Crowd Does No Cheering.
There were »he usual remarks as
the President alighted—but no cheer
ing, neither then nor at his depar
ture. There was the man who inva
riably says, under any and all condi
tions. “There he ^s!” and right be
hind him was his blood brother* tlie
remarkable individual who always
pops up with this: “He looks just
like his picture!”
And after the remaining score or
more of policemen had taken their
positions in the rear of the proces
sion, the signal was given and the
walk commenced. The President
walked with his hands clasped be-
