ed here today that Theodore Roose-
welt, ex-President Of the United States,
veteran Of the Spanish-American war.
founder Of the Annanias Club and
sometime Presidential candidate on
the Bull Moose ticket will spend two
weeks on the Mississippi coast in
June. spending the time at Pass Chris
tan. ...
1t is understood that Colonel Roose-
Welt before coming here will go to
New Orleans to confer with his close
personal and political friend, John M.
Parker, and that both will come to the
coast to spend the time in Mr.. Par
ker's palatial home at the Pass.
This will be the Colonel's first visit
to the Mississippi coast, though in the
past he has spent some little time in
the South, being especially fond of
hunting bear in Louisiana.
The people of Pass Christian, where
distinguished guests are often enter
tanned, have a nifty little habit of
burning houses in honor of their
guests and as compliment to the WIS.,
itor elects him member of their fire
department When President Wilson
was at the Pass the home of Judge
Neville was burned and the President
became a member of the fire depart
ment. Speaker Champ Clark spent a
short time there this spring and his
hotel was burned, the Speaker also
getting on the department. 1t is
hoped here the people of Pass Chris

unique way while the Colonel Is on the !
coast and that he be given some
honor not so hackneyed as being made
a member of the Pass Christian fire
