SCOTS Little Boy
"kept Daddy Warm"
With Picture in Bed

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. n.-While
CAPTAIN Scott and his brave men were
perishing in a blizzard on the Ice
bount shore of McMurdo bay In the
Antarctic the great explorers little
three-year- son, Peter, was doing
his best to keep Daddy warm, by
taking a photograph of the captain
TO bed with him every night and
smuggling II close under his warm
little blankets.
Mrs. Scott sailed from here for New
Zealand a week ago. expecting to meet
her husband on his return from the
frozen South. 1t was then that the
babys fancy about keeping DADDY
warm" became known.
The photograph was all that the
baby could remember of his father,
who sailed for the South when the
infant was only eight months old.

with practically no bloodshed.
Diaz's Lively Two Months.
At that time the gunboat Des Moines
was in the harbor 10 protect foreign
interests, and under her guns large
neutral zone was formed into which
thousands of foreigners crowded them
selves. No one was injured.
Gen. Felix Diaz, holding a commission
in the Madero army. was brought be-
fore a court-martial. He was con-
demned to be shot. President Madero
permitted the court-martial decision to
be appealed to the civil court. The
sentence was suspended and General
Diaz. provided with good sleeping quar-
several weeks in the San Juan del Ulloa
in perfect comfort.
1t was reported subsequently that he
had escaped. This was not true, as
he was removed under guard to the city
of Mexico and had been practically
under the eye of the Madero govern
ment until he was released when his
prison was stormed by the revolving
army Sunday morning.
Within two months General DiaZ has
been the conqueror of city, provi-
sional president a prisoner condemned
to death, the leader of. victorious
army, and the imminent head Of the
Mexican republic.
Madero Must Be Sorry.
The common observation since he has
proved so large a figure is to the effect
that President Madero. however tender
hearted he may be, must be sorry that
he did not have Diaz shot when he had
him i'm his power.
Under all the rules of war he was
guilty of treason when he seized the
city of Vera Cruz, and could have beer
shot without the blame of extraordinary
cruelty being placed on the Maderc
government.
It was then suggested, however, thai
