Pass Christian, Dec. 20.-President Wilson tonight found himself the hero of the gulf coast. Word spread far and wide that the watchful eye of the chief executive of the United States had spied a blaze that threat ened to destroy one of the handsome homes of he Southern shore and that he 'had acted.tho volunteer fire chief in a iianner that long will be remem bored 'in this region. The incident created >t stir in the otherwise 'quiet life of the gulf section. The president was returning from a quiet game of golf towards nook and on passing through Gulfport, eight miles from here, saw a blaze on a roof of a big house. It was the home of John J. 11. Neville, who won fame in 1891 by prosecuting Johnl , Sulli van for a jrize fight at Richburg, .liss., with Jake Kilrain. Alrs. Nevible, who 'vad alone in the building, had run to the win dow to watch the president go by, when suddenly two machines stopped and tie :president himself alighted. Quick as a flash he darted up the front steps, followed by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N., the secret service men and chauffeurs, who had un strapped the fire extinguishers from their machines and awaite;d the -pres ident's orders, Mrs. Neville wvas con fused. Reassures Clhauffeurs. "Don't be alarmed," said the presi dent coolly. "Your house is afire, but the men will put it out quickly If you w-ill show them the way to the attic." Mrs. Neville pointed the way up stairs and Robin and Fredericks, the chauffeurs, broko a window and climbed out on the roof, while .James Sloan and Jack Wheeler, the secret service guards, tore away the shin gles and helped fight the flames. Mrs. Neville did not know how to treat her unexpected but distinguished guest, who urged her to keep calm, as there wax no danger. "Will you come into the parlor?" she asked. "No thanks," replied the presi dent, "but you might -let me get a bucket of water." Mrs. Neville hasten ed to comply, but before it could -be of service the firefighters on the roof had descended with the report that little (amage had been done and that the blaze was out. Met Real Chief "Dell done," said the president and the entire party left the house for the automobiles. 'The chief of the lo cal fire department was just arriving with his hook and ladder and other apparatus. "The fire's over," announced the president, and added, with a proud smile, "my men have just put it out." Judge Neville and his son came running up at that moment and a big crowd collected. The judge was pro frise in his thanks and spoke a ppre elatively of the presidlent's thoughtful concern of Mr's. Neville. f'he president .took no motor r'ide in the afternoon, resting after his exertions at golf. He enjoyed the change in~, the temperature and was enthusiastic about the links which lie along the shoi'e of the gulf. The president dlictatedl a few letters and i'ead scores of telegr'aims that pouriedl in today, as they have been for the last few (lays, congratulating him on the enactment of the cur, mrey bill. iHi took a nap during the afternoon andl again spent the even lng wvith his family.

Gives out a Statomiont. Columbia, Dec. 23.-Governor Blease camo back today in a statement re plying to the indignant 'denial by Capt. W. 11. Sondley, of the state P'en itontiary guard, of the charges of cruelty made against him by a white convict, Raimon Parris, of Newberr.y county! whom the Governor recently paroled. The Governor, in his state ment, says that he has letters from convicts which he will send to the General Assembly and v.: cills on the General Assembly for an investiga tion of the Penitentiary. Calyt. Sondley arraignei the Gover nor, in his statement, for taking the words of convicts in t.eir tal -s of cruelty, which the Pei entiary cap tain denounced as false and which he said were "frane-ups." The Governor charges that Capt. Sondley has talked very bitterly about hit in several local clubs. Ils state ment, as given out today, follows: "Since I paroled a negro convict, who was brutally whipped because he spoke to me, liutring the last session of the Legislature, at which tmne the committee called the convict and oth ers before them to testify, in the hall of the house or llepresentatives, for somlie reason Capt. :'ondley has been very bitter against -me. It has been repeatedly reported to me by some of my friends that it is disagreeable to be in his company at the Elks' Club, or at the Commercial Club-that he always makes it a point to bring me up in his conversations and is very hitter 'towards me in his remarks. The action I took then was not direct (%( at .\Mr. Sondley, but was taken for the srake of humanity. I presuaie that the public will understand his hatred of me, and I feel that he can do me no injury by anything that he says. I am very gl-ad, indeed, that he has made 'this outburst, because he puts on notice those whom he would at tempt to influence against me next summer that lie is my politi'al and personal enemy, and they ' , there fore, know wihy it is that he is at tempting to criticise and injure me. "As to the Parris boy, Capt.Press ley, one of the truest men I have cver known and one of the mos. perfect gentlelnen, and who has been connect ed with the Penitentiary for many, many years--possibly twenty or more --sat in my ofilce and heard every word that Parris said. Capt. Pressley knew Capt. Sondley and he knew Col. Griffith, and after hearing me read tjhis letter of Parris to hi'm, and af ter hearing Parris's statement in full, apt. Pressley did not open his mouth in correction or denial of what Parris said. I believed then, and I believe now, that every word Parris said was the 'truth. HIid it not been I do not believe that as honorable a man as : apt. Pressley is would have sat silent and allowed Col. Griffith and Capt. Sondley to have been misreprescunted by this boy. "There are a goodl many other in stances which have comle -to my atteni tion, by letters ands by statemienits from convicts, wvhich. If I were to give thoem to the public, mlight possibily show -the public that Capt. Sondley Is by Rno mieanRs the greait humllaniitarian~ that lie professes to be. Some of these let ter~s will be presented to the General Assemibly at the cominiig session, whleni I hope the General Assembly will make a propel' inv'estigationi and iiot merely call before thlem the officials of the instituition."
