Til K ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS. 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.
