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. 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; smiled 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 aud the se cret service men who hemmed him in like a hedge fence. His arrival was attended by no ceremony, and his departure wan 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 11 might be a ceremony; others couldn’t figure out just what It was. Pass Christian G-reets President Wilson. PASS CHRISTIAN, MISS., Dec. 25. President Wilson arrived in this quaint French hamlet on the shores I to-day and ’’Merry Chrlsinm." Pilldell’S NomiliatiOIl I emblazoned around him everywhere. It was cold and damp and the skies i were leaden, but the crowd of natives J shouted at the President: “Wait until to-morrow and we’ll show' you some real gulf weather.’’ The President and his family left their private err at 9 o'clock and went Immediately to the "Winter White House,” one mile up the beach, chris tened “Beaulieu.” The home ls owned Miss M. A. Herndon, who will have charge of it during the Presl 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 Christmas 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 Ilarrlson, of Missis sippi, who accompanied’the Presiden tial party from Washington, probably will remain in Pass Christian throughout the Christmas season. He w ill see to it that the President Is not bothered with any business or poli ticians of any kind until he ls entirely willing to see them.
