Sptcial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
.MEXICO CITY, Dec. 12.—General
Huerta's Authority as dictator of Mex-
has been strengthened by extraor
dinary powers conferred upon him by
'.ne Chamber of Deputies, which ad-
>urned early to-day after a stormy
session.
Huerta's power was made absolute
during the recess which the Cham-
oer will take from next Monday until
vpril 1. The legislative and execu
tive branches of the Government will
:»e under the absolute domination of
Huerta, and he will have authority to
mange the 1914 budget at wil].
Several of the Deputies protected
gainst the action of the Chamber be-
ause ot the affront It gives to the
I'nlted States Government, but they
were shouted down.
\ committee was appointed to call
upon General Huerta at the National
Palaoe to-day and inform him of the
action taken by the Chamber.
General Huerta Is allowed to sell
Government property at his own dis-
. retion, as the result of the sweeping
privileges conferred upon hlrn.
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
apitalists to build a railroad from
\meca to Porta Pena on the west

Federals in North
Rally for Campaign.
PRESIDIO, TEXAS (By I'nited
States Army Telephone to Marfa),
Dec. 12.—The Federal army, which
fled to the border and is now occupy-
ng OJinaga, has been ordered by
General Huerta to try to retake Chi-
i.ihua City from the Constitutional-
ms. under General Villa.
General Pascual Orozco, command-
. f the Federals in Ojlnaga, said
day that a council of war would be
el , upon the arrival of General Mer-
ar'n. Military Governor of the State
Chihuahua, and plans will then be
n r»de 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.
Terrific Fighting
Still on at Tampico.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Terrific
fighting continues at Tampico, ac
cording to wireless dispatches from
Rear Admiral Fletcher received at
the Navy Department to-day.
The wireless, dated last night,
stated that 150 British refugees had
sought refuge on board the steamer
gunboat Wheeling and the cruiser
Cecilie and 150 Americans on the
gunboat Wheelin gand the cruiser
Chester. Five hundred more for
eigners have sought refuge in the
neutral zone, which Is guarded by the
guns of the foreign warships.
The Federal gunboat Bravo shelled
the Constitutionalist position all day
yesterday. Admiral Fletcher reported,
but apparently did little damage to
the febel stronghold. No Americans
or other foreigners have been injured I
and their property has been re
spected by both sides.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—More than
100 shots were fired early to-day in a
battle between rival gangsters out
side of Madison Square Garden,
where the six-day bike race is being
held.
One man was wounded, but he
was whisked away in an automobile
and the police did not learn his
name.
The fight is said to have arisen over
the “strong arm" privileges. These
are “privileges” of gambling and
stealing watches and jewelry from
the crowds watching the race.
Passengers on a southbound Mad-
OM avenue car, which passed at the
height of the battle, threw’ themselves

Child Welfare Experts Tell Why
Dyed Goodies Are Poisonous
to Young Stomachs.
'Ware that brightly-colored Christ-
mas candy!
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 tmpelled
j to issue this solemn warning to the
I fathers and mothers of Atlanta Pri-
i day.
Candy—if it is in judicious quanti-
j ties—is not the worst thing that can
be given to the little folks, the Child
Welfare experts will admit gTudg-
I in gl>'.
But one must be sure that It does
not contain any of the poisonous col
oring materials used to make attract

variegated and eye-stunning hues.
Striking Exhibit Shown.
They have rather a striking ex-1
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 candies of every color of
the rainbow. They are attractive. It
is no wonder they hypnotize the
youngsters.
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 candles.
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
