TAFT WITH
ADVISORS TODAY
FOR LAST TIME
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S-President
Taft met with his advisors today in
the last regular cabinet meeting OF
his administration. Il might have
been a sessio. nof farewels. but the
officials did not appear particularly
sorrowful.
Promptly on the minute set for the
session Uncle Tama Jim Wilson,
Oldest member of the cabinet and
whose time of arrival az the White
House for such meetings has not var
led five minutes In his fourteen years
of servcie as secretary of agriculture
passed into the cabinet room prob
ably for his last time as member.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel, who always walks to the White
House was next to arrive, closely fol-
lowed by the other members. Sec
retary of State Knox, always the last
TO arrive, maintained that position to-
day.
with the Mexican situation un-
alarming, the cabinet had little to
consider. President Taft. it was un-
derstood, took the Webb BILL prohib-
iting interstate shipment of liquor
into dry territories and his customs
reorganization plan. He has until
midnight tonight to act on the Webb
measure, otherwise It will become a
law without his signature.

MEXICANS
HEAR DIAz
WILL RETURN
Group of Officers Will Go to
Cairo to Escort Back Old
Leader
NEPHEW OF FORMER
PRESIDENT AFTER OFFICE

MEXICO CITY VIA GALVESTON,
Feb. 2S-The return OF exiled Porfrio
Diaz to Mexico within the near future
was made certain today when It be-
came known that a group of officers
had been appointed to leave here for
Paris soon TO escort the old dictator
back to his home country. Diaz, now
at Cairo, Egypt, has stated that he
would not return TO Mexico until the
government was re-established, but
the men now at the head of the pro-
vsional government have clearly In
dicated that his presence would not
be considered q menace to the peace
of the country and he will return to
the scene of his former triumphs as
a hero.
Felix Diaz. nephew of the deposed
president, today formally announced
his candidacy for the presidency. The
elections are to be held under the
direction of the provisional govern
ment The return of Porhrio before
the elections is regarded as a stroke
of good politics by Felix, as the de-
posed presidents influence would cer-
tainly be given his nephew. Minister
of Foreign Relations. De La Barra,
will likely be the strongest candidate
against Diaz.
The early dispatches carried by the
United Press placing the number of
dead in the ten-days' fighting here at
1000 we're confirmed today when the
government announced that official
figures showed that at least 900
were killed and that the final figures
would probably run higher.
The work of pacification was going
on unabated today. Emilio Zapata, is
working with the Huerta government
and Huerta claims has caused many
Of the important rebel officers in the
south to surrender with thousands Of
their men. The financial situation is
still such that the government is bad
ly hampered, but General Huerta
claims that negotiations are now on
for big loan through a Paris bank
ing house. Mexican capitalists have
also offered millions at a low rate,
he declared

Orozcos representative in the United
States. said the alleged deal with the
Standard Oil was in consideration of
Madero's revocation of concessions to
the Pearsons
Without any question: LuIan said,
"Madero obtained moneys in .he Unit
ed States that we're to be paid by
special privileges to be granted by
his government"
Lujan mentioned firm at 20
Nassau street, New York as having
held Maderos notes.
"As the chief object of creating this
committee was TO trace Wall streets
connections with these revolutions
said Senator Fall, one of the commit
tee members today. 1--WE cannot dis
cuss that matter until we have reach
cd a definite conclusion. The Senate
has continued this committee so that
Il may complete the inquiry.
"Madero was undoubtedly very fav-
orahle TO American investors In rail-
road securities, public utilities, oil
wells. mines and other business en-
terprises Americans Jared much bet
ter than did English investors at Ma
dero's hands"
The iudicious use OF money by mine
managers Afforded them protection
and indeed most of our investors were
given better terms than they could
secure under American laws.

BELIEVE WILSON
IS OPPOSED TO
CANAL TOLL ACT
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. est is be-
lieved President-elect Wilson is op-
posed to discrimination in favor of
American ships passing through the
Panama canal and that soon after he
becomes president he will make that
position clear.
Two reasons for that attitute are
thought to be in Governor Wilson,
mind: One that discrimination would
be a violation of the treaty with Great
Britain, and the other that the ar
rangement would amount to a ship
subsidy. to which he is known to be
emphatically antagonistic.
Governor Wilson declined today to
discuss the report in the London Times
from its Washington correspondent,
who quoted a member of congress as
having received a letter from the
president-elect. declaring against ia
voritism to American ships.

K1E EW YORK, Oct. 9.-A certain un-
IN certainty which began with the
= weather and sort of spread itself
all over the baseball map marked the
early part of the third day Of the
battle of the Giants and the Athlet-
les for the baseball championship of
the world, to say nothing OF the win
ner's end of the gate receipts. The
weather man remarked coldly.
Showers todayi"
The to victory of the Giants
yesterday evened them up on the
count and they We're full of pep and
.4ambish" this morning, as we say in
the big leagues. They wanted to get
busy this afternoon by all means. the
feeling being that the club that tri-
umphs today will be the winner of
the series. Just why the Giants should
think they have any better chance to
win today than tomorrow is not yet
clear, but 1t is probable that they
don't want to have time to stop and
think about their battered battle line.
Always making allowances for the
uncertainty mentioned above, the dope
seems to indicate that big Jeff Tes-
reau. the Ozark bear choker, will be
out there bringing in the canned goods
for our gang, and either Mr.. Shawkey
or Mr.. Bush of PhiladeIphia will be
out there in theesame place engaged
in the active enterprise of fofling him.

those ebullfent sports who are wont
to rage around looking for bets. After
the upheaval of financial enthusiasm
over the Athletics yesterday. the bet
ting went back to mild hammered even
