n
FETES ORDERED
BK HUERTA TO
SAVE BASKS
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEECJCO CITY, Dec. 28.—With
three great, banks on the brink ot
failure and rebele menacing even the
capital, the Mexican Government to
day gave Itself up to fetes in celebra
tion of the birthday of Victoriano
Huerta, the dictator of the republic.
Early in the day a detachment of
troops took up their, station at the
National Paiace, 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 eluborate preparations were
being made for the birthday celebra
tion. leading financiers were holding
a conference at the Bank of l^ondon
and Mexico to devise means of avert
ing the banking crisis, and deposi
tors were besieging the institution, as
well ajs 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.
1'ntil the time set the banks can
refuse to meet any obligations, and
as a result many business firms which
require cash dally will have to close
down.
Desperate efforts ore 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 gun hots giving any
aid to the garrison when the attack
is ordered.

they gave the names of Mrs. Alice
Benson and Miss Edith Benson, and
said they were mother and daughter.
Shortly after they were looked tip,
they appealed to ex-Senator Spooner,
of Wisconsin, for help, and he hast
ened to the police station. Detectives

them that he and the women were
old friends and that they had not
given their right names.

though it really is just a great, big,
out-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 Fellows—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 ajsi 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 bills.
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 Bap-
*ist Orphans’ Home. And the entire
force of Georgian newsboys will be

That’s Christmas Eve, at 5 o’clock.

It doesn’t seem to be exactly a time

When the people of a great city are
happy and well fixed; when they have

SAVANNAH, Dec. 83 —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 did not orig
inate in his store, as had been stated
by Fire Chief Monroe, is inclined to
agree with Chief Monroe.

Pimples and blackheads disappear,
unsightly complexions become clean,
clear and velvety, and hair health and
beauty are promoted by the regular use
of Resinol fcoap and an occasional appli
cation of Resinol Ointment. These
soothing, healing preparations do their
work easily, quickly and at little cost,
when even the most, expensive cosmetics
and complicated “beauty treatments”
fall.
And the best of it Is you need never
healtw'-e to use Resinol Soap and Resi
nol Ointment There Is nothing in them
to injure the tenderest surface. Resi
nol is a doctor’s prescription which for
eighteen years has beer, used by care
ful physicians for all kinds of skin af
fections They prescribe Resinol freely,
confident that its soothing, healing ac
tion Is brought about by medication so
bland and gentle as to be suited to the j
most delicate or irritated akin Resi

PRINCETON. N. J. ( Dec. 23 - Wheth
er or not the prestige? of the Presidency
of the United States adds anything im
mediately to college attendance has been
answered partly in figures for this fall
from Princeton. The institution has
1,599 students, the largest number in
its history. This is an increase of 31
over 1912. The Princeton Alumni Week
ly attributes the difference to the open
ing of the new Graduate College, which
brought 28 additional students.
There are 108 students from the
South, excluding Maryland’s 75. Georgia
has seven, the same number as last
year. New York again leads, with 362.
and Pennsylvania and New Jersey are |
tied for second with 340. Tennessee
stands eleventh with 20. Forty-two
States and twelve foreign countries are
represented, the latter with an increase
of 10 over 1912. \
There are five Chinese, three Bra
zilians. three Japanese, three Syrians,
two Irishmen, one Italian, one Mexican,
one Scot and one Turk.
