GULFPORT, Miss, ian. = Pres
ident Wilson is not the first president to
find Pass Christian an ideal place for a
vacation. away back in the summer Of
1849 old Zachary Taylor, of Mexican
war fame came to Shielosboro, in these
days known as Bay st. Louis, then a
fashionable resort. He remained for a
few weeks or ten days, and moved across
to the Pass, equally famed as a resort,
where he spent a couple Of weeks.
The coming of Zachary Taylor was in
striking contrast to the arrival of Pres
idens Wilson. Taylor came on putting
steamboat from New Orleans, wearing a
big brass buttoned uniform and follow
lowed by retinue of soldiers and
slaves. Military pomp was everywhere
displayed, and in the county are sever
al old residents, and the sons and daugh-
ters of pioneers who can tell interesting
stories of the open-eyed wonder with
which the Coast folks greeted and well
coined the famouse general and the first
president whose only profession was
that of a soldier.
The lives of the two presidents who
have come to Pass Christian are in strik-
ing contrast in some respects and COIN
eide remarkably in others. Each has
thirteen letters in his name. Taylor
was hero of the Mexican War, today
Wilson awaits the arrival OF a spe-
|cial envoy from Mexico and is fac
ing a crisis in the relations of this coun-
try and hefsouthern neighbor asreal as
that in the days of fortyeight.
Taylor was Wing from Louisiana,
Wilson is Democrat from the north
Both were born in Virg inia. Both a

these two presidents who came to the
coast to rest.

LOOKED JUST LIKE
ANY OTHER MAN.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Dec. 26.
President Wilson walked along the
boulevard which divides the gracious
old Henderson home from the beach.
On his arm was DR.. Cary Grayson, the
straight young physician with the black
eyes and brows that cross the bridge of
his nose in a stem, straight unbroken
line. President Wilson looked across
the gray waters of the gulf. They were
swept by flying slashes OF gray marking
the scudding shadow of storm clouds.
Across the waters lay the country by
the same name as the gulf which is
governed-after maner of speaking
by a man named Huerta. This man
named Huerta has given President a
good deal of worry in the past--and
has made no promise that he will be
good in the days to come.
sHowdy. Said Jim.
The president glanced over his shoul-
der to where the men of the secret
service followed his steps even when his
shadow got discouraged by the lack of
sunlight and deserted him. He looked
down the white road in the other direc-
ton.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Dec. 26
President Wilson tonight found him
self the hero of the gulf coast. Word
spread far and wide that the watchful
eve of the chief executive of the United
States had spied blaze that threaten
ed to destroy one of the handsome homes
of the southern shore ahd that he had
acted the volunteer fire chief in a man.
ner that long will be remembered in this
region The incident created stir in
the otherwise quiet life OF the gulf Sec
ton.
The president was returning from a
quiet game of golf toward noon and on
passing through Gulfport saw blaze
on roof of a big house. 1t was the
home of Judge j. H. Neville, who won
fame in 1891 by prosecuting John L.
Sullivan because of the memorable priz e
fight with Jake Kilrain.
Mrs. Neville, who was alone in the
building, had run to the window to
watch the president go by when sudden
ly two machines stopped and the pres
ident himself alighted. Quick as
flash he darted up the front steps, follow
ed by DR.. Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N,
the secret service men and chauffeurs,
who had unstrapped the fire extingui-
shers from their machines and awaited
the presidents orders. Mrs. Neville
was confused.
President Reassured Her.
"Don't be alarmed" said the pres
ident coolly, "your house is afire, but
these men will put it out quickly il you
will show them the way to the attic"
Mrs. Neville pointed the way up stairs

how to treat her unexpected, distinguish

as there was no danger.
"will you come lnts the parl0rP" she
asked.
"No thanks" replied t6e president

the report that little damage had been
done; that the baiZe was out.
''Well Done" He Says.
"Well done, 'said the president and
and the entire party left the house for
the automobiles. The chief of the local
fire department was just arriving with
hook and ladder and other apparatus.
"The fires over'' announced the
president, and added with proud smile
"my men have just put it out
Judge Neville and his son came RUM
ing up at that moment and a big crowd
collected. The judge was profused in
his thanks and spoke appreciatively OF

LIND MAY RETURN HOME
1t is expected that Mr.. Lind, after
his conference with President Wilson
will leave for his home in Mime
apolis to spend some time with his
family This belief is borne out by
the fact that Norman Lind. son of
Mr.. Lind, left Minneapolis late We'd

he expects to meet his father tomor-
rom. Mrs. Lind is at the family home
in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Lind was expected here at 6

seas in the gulf delayed the cruise,

Vera Cruz to Ship Island was expect
ed to have been made in twenty-siy
hours, and the Chester, the fastest
scout cruiser in the navy, would have
arrived on schedule had not she been

INCUBATOR BABY
CASE NOW AT END
Mother Has Her Child and Men
Charged With Kidnapping Are
Freed by Court.

In the United States supreme court
yesterday the case against two men
charged with kidnapping Marian Bar
ciay-Bleakley, the incubator baby, at
the instance of Mrs. Joseph G.. Barclay
of Moline, several years ago, was dis
missed and the defendants released
Thus ends one of the most sensational
cases that has ever been recorded
The case had its inception during
the st. Louis worlds fair, and involves
the question of the parentage of a
child. Some time in 1903 Mrs. Bleak
ley, who was then a school teacher in
Kansas, married a wealthy ranch own
er of the same state. Some months
later the couple quarreled over the
prospective birth of a child, and final
~ separated, the wife going to st.
Louis, where, in April of 1904. in a
maternity hospital, she gave birth to
child Hospital attendants told her
that the child had died About the
same time Mrs. Joseph G. Barclay OF
Moline visited the fair, and while on a
sightseeing expedition she came
across several babies in incubators
she became greatly attached to one of
them and finally adopted it.
In a dream several months later
Mrs. Bleakley had a premonition that
the child still lived. She started an
and eventually learned
that it was her baby that the Moline
woman had adopted. She came TO
Moline and started suit in the local
courts. with the result that she Sc
cured possession of the baby and took
it back TO Lawrence, Kan. Mrs Bar.
clay then went to Lawrence and en-
p!oyed two men to kidnap the baby
and take it to Missouri. Another suit
was started by Mrs. Barclay in the
Kansas court and Mrs. Barclay was
sustained and given the child. After
fighting back and forth in the courts |
Of three states the child was subse- |
Iuently given back to Mrs. Bleakley, |
who claimed she was its mother. and |
and consequently Mrs. Barclay waived |
all her claims.
The men then appealed their case
o the supreme court OF Illinois, and
ocal attorneys who have followed the
rial say that they had served the
original sentence imposed on them
before the supreme court handed down

CHORAL union IN
ANOTHER TRIUMPH
Midwinter Concert at Congre-
gational Church an Artistic
Success.

From the artistic standpoint the
mid-winter concert under the auspices
OF the Moline Choral union at the First
Congregational church last evening
is regarded by competent critics as
an improvement upon previous musical
programs given by the organization.
Though the chorus was not quite so
large as formerly and there were a
number of well known local singers
missing. especially from the soprano
and alto sections a better balance of
voices was evident and there was a
quicker response TO the baton of the
leader. showing the effect of careful
training at the hands of DIR. Alum. At
had been expected.
Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha's
Wedding Feast" was given for the first
part and was so well handled and
proved so effective that It is likely
that "Hiawatha's Departure" by the
same composer will be chosen for the
May festival by the union.
Henry Wheelock, in a tenor part,
was the only soloist of the first part
of the program and so we'll did he ac-
quit himself that an encore was de-
manded by the audience.
Miss Virginia Tunnicliffe, soloist, in
the second part gave four numbers,
scoring an especial triumph in THE
Salutation of the Dawn" by Steven
son. and was enthusiastically encored.
Mrs. Evlan Sargent rendered an organ
concert (No. ~ by Handel, with or
chestraI accompaniment. The con-
Guiding number was 1.-The Soldiers
Chorus from Faust
