He tame in at 4:55 in a special train of four cars, carrying his private physician, Dr. Cary Ura>son. 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 gei some rest, after his strenuous work on the ’eurrency bill. In the 25 minutes the President was here he walked up and down the plat form ten times, pointed twice, once north and once south; jwniled any where from 10 to 20 times, bowed twice, jerked his cap down over his eyes once, and chatted volubly at all times—with Dr. Grayson and the se cret servi.-e men who hemmed him in like a hedge fence. His arrival was attended by no 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 i might be a ceremony; others couldn figure out just what it was. of the Gulf of Mexico at 6:30 o’clock to-day and found "Merry Christmas” emblazoned around him everywhere. It was cold and damp and the skies were lead* n. but the crowd of natives shouted at the President: ‘Wait until to-morrow and we’ll show you some v^al gulf weather.” The President and his family lef- their private car at 9 o’clock and w ent immediately to the “Winter White House,” one mile up the beach, chris tened "Beaulieu.” The home is owned by Miss M. A. Herndon, who \tiil have charge of it during the Presi dent’s stay here. Joe Murphy, the President’s secret service man. who was sent to Pass Christian in advance, brought word to the Presidential party of the quaint I’hristmas celebration that awaited them here. He said they observed Christmas with fireworks Instead of holly and mistletoe, and have many delightful French traditions for the entire Yuletide. The President’s cheery “Good morning” and “Merry Christmas” found responsive echoes in the cheers that went up on his ar rival. Representative Harrison, of Missis sippi, who accompanied the Presiden tial party from Washington, probably will remain in Pass Christian throughout the Christmas season. He will see to it that the President is not bothered with any business or poli ticians of any kind until he is entirely /willing to see them. Pindell’s Nomination Held Up Indefinitely, But Will Go Through WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.—The nomination of Henry M. Pindell, of Peoria, HI., 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 Pindell 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 Con gross. Senator Stone, the other member of the sub committee, is 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.
