FETES HE
BE HUERTA II
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY. Dec. 23. With
three great banks on the brink of
failure and rebel* menacing even the
capital, the Mexican Government to
day gave itself up to fetes in celebra
tion of the birthday of Vietoriano
Huerta, the dictator of the republic.
Early in the day a detachment of
troops took up their station at the
National Palace, following announce
ment that receptions would take place
there throughout the day All mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, with the
exception of Nelson O’Shaughnessy,
the American Charge d'Affaires, are
expected to call on Huerta during the
afternoon.
While elaborate preparations were
being made for the birthday celebra
tion,. leading financiers were holding
a conference at the Bank of London
and Mexico to devise means of avert
ing the banking crisis, and deposi
tors were besieging the institution, as
well as the Central Bank and the
Banco Nacional. The decree of the
Government declaring a legal holiday
until January 2 Increased the finan
cial tension rather than decreased it.
Until the time set the hanks can
refuse to meet any obligations, and
as a result many business firms which
require cash daily will have to close
down.
Desperate efforts are being made to
have French stockholders come to the
rescue of the Bank of London and
Mexico, and it is possible that they
will have to advance a big loan to
save their investments.
Reports from Tampico indicate that
the rebels are awaiting further rein
forcements before making a grand as
sault upon the city’s center. They'
have occupied positions that will pre
vent the Federal gunbots giving any
aid to the garrison when the attack
is ordered.
Senator Spooner
Aids Women Held
For Shoplifting
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Two women
held here on a charge of shoplift
ing furnished a mystery for the po
lice to-day. Both are richly gowned.
When arrested in a department store,
they gave the names of Mrs. Alice
Benson and Miss Edith Benson, and
said they were mother and daughter.
Shortly after they were locked tip,
they appealed to ex-Senator Spooner,
of Wisconsin, for help, and he hast
ened to the police station. Detectives
said later that the Senator had told
them Hmt lie and the women were
old friends and that they had not
given their right names.
When the case came up it was con
tinued, while efforts were made to
Identify the prisoners.

ceremonies of the Holy See. at the

cording to a well-founded report to
day.

We re GOING TO DO IT. you know.
But right at the last moment, the
eleventh hour, comes an appeal from
a new quarter—and more than 200
little chaps that had been overlooked
now are turning their big eyes won-
derlngly, hopefully toward the mys
terious realm of Santa Claus Land

Are THEY going to be passed by
this Christmas?
Come on, good friends of all the
world—don’t pass up this pitiful lit
tle 200. Thank goodness, we’ve got
to the stage of civilization where
Christmas doesn’t seem like Christ
mas simply because the stockings of
our own kids are filled to running
over.
One Final Spurt, Now.
We've got to fill the other kids’
stockings, too, or it can’t be a really
Merry Christmas.
>One short, sharp rally, folks—good
friends of the children. Let’s whirl
in and settle this thing RIGHT NOW.
for we haven’t much time to think
about it.
AND WE DON’T NEED TO
THINK ABOUT IT!
You know what the empty stock

we've just been telling you that there

Wallace, Ala.—“My little girl was six

—although it didn’t look like it Tues
day—and it isn’t clouded by any im
pending Empty Stocking tragedy for
f Atlanta childhood, either, if you do
your part and if you do—
We are going to celebrate a lit
tle, and The Georgian is going I )
play host, in a way of speaking, al
though it really is just a great, big,
put-of-doors Christmas festival, for
a great, big, happy family, happy over
a good job, mighty well done.
The Georgian isn't assuming any
credit for this splendid. generous
work of filling the empty stockings
of Atlanta. The Georgian merely
suggested the need of those poor lit
tle patched and yawning stockings.
The Good Feilows—the big-hearted
men and women and children of At
lanta—did the rest.
For a Royal Good Time.
So now we're all going to get to
gether and have a royal good time —
twice.
The time is at 5 o’clock Wed
nesday afternoon. The place is in
front of the City Hall, where the
great Christmas tree has been raised,
towering as a monument to the good
will and love Atlanta bears its less
fortunate children
Everybody is invited. and The
Georgian feels it a privilege to foot
the hills.
There will be an open-air concert
by Wedemeyer’s Band. There will be
Christmas carols and special songs
by the children from the Decatur Or
phans’ Home and the Georgia Pap
ist Orphans’ Home. And the entire
force of Georgian newsboys will be
n hand to—well, you’ll see what they
till do toward the general liveliness
C the occasion.
Great Tree to Glow.
The great cedar free—the most
lerfect of its kind ever raised in a
'hristmas celebration —will glow with
undreds of colored electric lights and
he brand of decoration the weather
iii't subdue. No gifts there—just a
Clicking good time, and an overflow
f good fellowship, and the real
’hristmas spirit.
A (’hristmas fesUval. That's what
it is.
Everybody welcome—everybody in
vited.
That’s ('hristmas Eve. at 5 o’clock,
’em ember.
Come on. everybody! The Empty
.Stocking Blight has been lifted from
ie Atlanta Spirit. I^et’s get together
and celebrate the event.
Everyone Join In.
It doesn't seem to be exactly a time
for a preachment, as Elbert Hubbard
''alls it.
When the people of a great city are
; lppy and well fixed; when they have
just finished putting over a great
reject like Oglethorpe University,
and times are good, and the idea is to
x hack up on the good cheer business
with those who live on the Beamy
Side—why, that’s a good time to get

Fire Was Incendiary
SAVANNAH. Dec. 23.—The charge
from Captain W. R Joyner, State Fire
Marshal that the recent fire in the
Lippman Building in Savannah, at a
loss of more than $100,000. was of in
cendiary origin, has created a genuine
sensation here.
Captain Joyner, who took two days to
inspect the ruins, following the pub
lished statement of S. Bernstein, one of
the occupants, that the fire d'd not orig-
lrate in his store, as had been stated
by Fire Chief Monroe, is inclined to
agree with Chief Monroe.
