Dec. 12.—General Huerta's authority as dictator of Mex ico ha.s been strengthened by extraor dinary powers conferred upon him by the Chamber of Deputies, which ad journed early to-day after a stormy session. Huerta’s power was made absolute during the recess which the Cham ber will take from next Monday until April 1. The legislative and execu tive branches of the Government will be under the absolute domination of Huerta, and he will have authority to change the 1914 budget at will. Several of the Deputies protested against the action of the Chamber be cause of the affront It gives to the United States Government, but they were shouted down. A committee was appointed to call upon General Huerta at the National Palace to-day and Inform him of the action taken by the Chamber. General Huerta is allowed to sell Government property at his own dis cretion, as the result of the sweeping privileges conferred upon him. The Chamber also approved the electoral law calling for another Pres idential election next July, and grant ed a concession to a British group of capitalists to build a railroad from Ameca to Porta Pena on the west coast Federals in North Rally for Campaign. PRESIDIO, TEXAS (By United States Army Telephone to Marfa), Dec. 12.—The Federal army, which tied to the border and is now occupy ing Ojinaga, has been ordered by General Huerta to try to retake Chi huahua City from the Constitutional ists, under General Villa. General Pascual Orozco, command er of the Federals in Ojinaga, said to-day that a council of war would be held upon the arrival of General Mer cado. Military Governor of the State of Chihuahua, and plans ill then be rriade for a campaign. It is probable that the Federals will try to get between Juarez and Chihuahua City in an effort to take both cities. “We will have 12,000 men here in a short time,” said Orozco. “That is more than Villa has, and we are bet ter equipped.” Senor Pinada, a wealthy Mexican ranch owner who is temporarily liv ing here, is entertaining Luis Ter razas and members of his family. Senor Terrazas, who is one of the wealthiest men in Mexico, received word to-day that his son, Luis Ter razas, Jr., who was taken from the British consulate in Chihuahua City by the Constitutionalists, had been executed, but he doubted the truth of the message. Anxiety is felt for General Mercado, and scouts have been sent southward to look for him. General Mercado and General Rojas commanded the rear guard of the troops defending the caravan of refugees and have with them about 2,500 troops and a battery of artillery. Rebels under General Huerrera pursued Mercado’s troops, but the Federal generals in Ojinaga believe that the Federals could give a good account of them selves. The Federal soldiers were put into better spirits to-day by an announce ment that the Mexican Government has $200,000 on deposit in El Paso banks and that it will be used for the payment of the troops.

Not wishing to cast the slightest shadow on the happiness of the chil dren in the approaching holidays, the women in charge of the Child Wel fare Show nevertheless were impelled ■ to issue this solemn warning to the fathers and mothers of Atlanta Fri- : day. Candy—if it is in judicious quanti- j ties—is not the worst thing that can I be given to the little folks, the Child J Welfare experts will admit grudg ingly. But one must be sure that It does I not contain any of the poisonous col oring materials used to make attract ive the well-known confections of variegated and eye-stunning hues. Striking Exhibit Shown. They have rather a striking ex hibit in the old Leyden house at No. 198 Peachtree street to drive this warning home. There are candies of the most bril liant carmine, blue candies, green candies, and candles of every color of the rainbow. They are attractive. It Is no wonder they hypnotize the youngsters. 1 But along with the candies are pieces of cloth and whole garments that have been dyed deeply with the poisonous coloring matter taken from small quantities of the candy. Coal tar dyes, for the most part, are used in the cheaper candies. How Does It Look Inside? “How do you suppose your child looks on the Inside after eating this candy?” is one of the pertinent que ries on one of the placards near a can of green confections. “Buy candy for the children, if you wish,” said one of the women Friday, “but when you do so, be sure it is of high grade and is without deleterious dyes It is not unusual for children to come to their death from the cheap, highly-colored Christmas, candies.” The show will be turned over to the colored population of Atlanta Friday. Negro physicians will conduct the free clinics and negro nurses will be in charge. The “explainers” also will be from the colored race. on the floo'r to escape the flying bul lets.
