MEXICO CITY, Dec. 28.—With
three great banks on the brink of
failure and rebels 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 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 ceiebra
tlon, leading financiers were holding
a conference at the Bank 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 banks can
refuse to meet any obligations, and
as a result many business firms w hich
require cash dally 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.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—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 atore,
they gave the names of Mrs. Alice ,
Benson and Miss Edith Benson, and j
said they were mother and daughter.
Shortly after they were locked up, j
they appealed to ex-Senator Spooner, i
of Wisconsin, for help, and he hast- j
ened to the police station. Detectives
said later that the Senator had told
them that he 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. Jjgp

—although it didn’t look like it Tues
day—and it isn’t clouded by any im
pending Empty Stocking tragedy for
Atlantan childhood, either, if you do
your part and if you do—
We are ’ going to celebrate a lit
tle, and The Georgian is going to
play host, in a way of speaking, al
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.
Fop 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 o’clock Wed
nesday afternoon. The place is in
front of the City Hall, tv here 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 bills.
There will be an opon-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
tist Orphans’ Home. And the entire
force of Georgian newsboys w.ill be
:<n hand to- 1 -well, you’ll see what they
will do toward the general liveliness

Great Tree to Glow.
The great cedar tree—the most
perfect of its kind ever raised in a
Christmas celebration—will glow with
.kindreds of colored electric lights and
he brand of decoration the weather
a n’t. subdue. No gifts there—just a
rollicking good time, and an overflow
of good fellowship, and the real
Christmas spirit.
A Christmas festival. That’s what
it is.'
Everybody welcome—everybody in
vited.
That’s Christmas Eve, at 5 o’clock.
Remember.
Come on, everybody!. The Empty
Stocking Blight has been lifted from
e Atlanta Spirit. Let’s get together
und celebrate the event.
Everyone Join In.
It doesiVl seem to be exactly a time
for a preachment, as Elbert Hubbard
calls it.
When the people of a great city are
idippy 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
whack up on the good cheer business
with those who live on the Seamy
Side—why, that’s a good time to get
together and hear some good music,
and sing some good old songs, and
shake hands, and slap one another on
the back, and—

Attendance Record
At Princeton 1,599
PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 23.—Whedi-
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. 3G2.
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.

present it to a Democratic President.

Fire Was Incendiary
SAVANNAH, Deo. S3—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.
