MEXICO CITY, Dec. 11. The re . 1
attack on Tamolc^ has been repulsed,
according to an official statement Is
sued to-day by the Ministry of War.
General Blanquet. the War Minister,
said the rebels had lost tyeavily.
According to General Blanquet, the
Federal land forces at Tampico were
assisted by the Mexican gunboats
Morelos and Vera Cruz, which we.r
in the harbor. The ships threw shells
over the city Into the rebt 1 lines.
That the Government fears further
»ebel attacks was shown by the ship
ment to-day of 2,000.000 rounds of
ammunition for use by the Federal*
at Tampico and Tuxpam.
General Maas, commander of tit*
\>ra t*ruz garrison, whs ordered t<>

the ammunition to reinforce the Tarn
jdco and Tuxpam garrisons
Fears for foreigners in Mexico <’lty
were Increased to-day by two start

Government officials began an anti
American yam* th«* clrculatloi
of stories against Americans with the
evident intention of uniting the hos
tile factions by forcing Intervention
wrtilch the United States will order
only if foreigner.- are attacked.
Reports that Zapatista nbcls who
have been held at bay south of t’uer-
navaca. in the State of Morelos, have
decided to attack the !nt<r-Oceani<
Railway next week.
If the Inter-Oceanic Railway line is
cut. the flight of Americans and other
foreigners to the coast would be pre
vented. as this is the only connecting
link of rail between the capital and
Vera Cruz.

Announcement of "Merchants'
Week" was made Tuesday night at
the seventh annual banquet of thu
M. and M. Association at the Pied
mont Hotel.
The board of directors had pre
viously recommended the February
meeting. When the matter was put
before the open meeting it met will)
unanimous approval,
"Get the Southern merchants ail
of them In the habit of coming to
Atlanta, and it will mean a great d< *.!

Leaders Say “Strong Pull Alto
gether" Will Insure Great
University for Atlanta.
The Oglethorpe workers started out
Thursday morning with the idea that
only one thing was required to con
vert the Oglethorpe project into a
realization: "A strong pull, all to
gether."
In this event, the "long pull” part
of the adage refill y seemed to he su
perfluous.
“Only $73,281," said Thornwell Ja
cobs, and there was exultation in his
voice. "Only $73,281—and we’ve
raised $176,711* in less than two weeks
—In just ten days! Why, at that
rate "
But Mr. Jacobs wasn't inclined to
bind the workers to any fixed rate.
Good Work Wednesday.
“No telling what that bunch will
dof* he added. "I shouldn’t he nt all
surprised to see them turn it all up
by the end of this week. Those men
are capable of anything. Oglethorpe
is just as muph of a fact right now as
if it were standing on the broad
campus at Silver Rake. That’s just
how good Atlanta’s faith is.”
The $4,793 in subscriptions of the
day before, with the building mate
rial promise of $17,500 and the $5,000
subscribed by William Randolph
Hearst, constituted the biggest day’s
work of the campaign by the work
ers.
They were exultant at the luncheon
when the news was announced. They
were inspired when they started the
day's work Thursday morning.
Donations From Far States.
Everyone felt that the thing was
done—and everyone set out to pile
up the balance at top speed.
Among the subscriptions announced
Wednesday were two from distant
States—one from Seattle. Wash., and
one from the corresponding State.
Massachusetts, in the Northeast. Each
was for $100, the former by R. <,}.
Evans, and the latter by J. A. Brierl.v,
of Holyoke. Berth came through the
committee of l>r. J. Cheston King.
Spec ial credit was given to Dr. Ja
cobs. Ivan E. Allen and Dr. J. H
Gaertner for obtaining the $17,500
subscription in building material—
the valuation being placed on it by a
firm <»f Atlanta architects. The con
tributor is to be made known later.
Splendid Record
Of $1,000 Gifts
Chairman Ivan E. Allen, of the
Oglethorpe campaign committee,
said to-day:
“There have been more $1 000
subscriptions to the Oglethorpe
fund than any other campaign of
any kind in Atlanta.
"More $1.00 ©subscriptions than
could have been expected, but
where are the $500 subscriptions—
there are fewer of these than were
expected—they should nearly make
up the deficit.
"Remember that the payments
are spread over five years and it
will come back more than five
fold to every subscribing citizen."

IIARTWELL, Der. 11.—The 5-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. King

wagon driven by Will Jones, a negro
employee from U. D. Mouchet's farm.

over the body, breaking the back and
neck.

enraged citizens claiming that the
negro knocked the boy off the wagon.
Only some small children playing in
the street saw* the accident.
Jones was arrested and lodged In
jail by .Sheriff Johnson pending the
issuance of a warrant and to protect
him from mob violence.

Merchant Drives Negro Pair From
Place When They Command
Him to “Hands UpI”
A bold attempt at a hold-up in the
store oi Sain Swerdlin, No. 52 Rich
mond street, fell through Thursday
morning when the two negio despera
does took fright at the show of re
slstance made by Swerdlin and made
ineir escape.
A revolver in the hands of one of
the would-be robbers gave him cour
age for a moment, but he wilted when
a long butcher knife in the hands of
Swerdlin flashed before his eyes. In
an instant he was in precipitate flight,
with his dusky partner in crime a
close second behind him.
Swerdlin was waiting on some early
morning customers when the two ne
groes entered the store and asked to
get warm at the stove. Swerdlin had
seen neither of them before.
Whips Out Revolver.
They loafed about the stove until
the customers had departed and then
one of them walked toward the pro
prietor, whipping a revolver from
his pocket and calling: "Hands up!"
Swerdlin, taken by surprise, obeyed.
But when he saw the other negro
making for the cash register he
grabbed a big butcher knife close at
hand and made a lunge at the negro
with the revolver.
There probably would have been a
dead negro had not the tip of the
knife struck on a button on the ne
gro's coat and glanced off.
Flees From Knife.
That was a close enough call for
the black man, however, and with a
yell of terror he darted from the
doorway, leaving all his bravery be-
Knd him.
The other negro followed suit.
Early morning pedestrians saw one
frightened negro dash up Richmond
street and another up Martin street.
Swerdlin was close behind, brandish
ing the butcher knife.
Desperation lent speed to the feet
of the robebrs, however, and they
escaped.
