IS DELIGHTED
Special BY United Press Wire.

Paris, Feb. 10:-General Forfirio
Diaz. the exiled ex-president of Mexi-
co. Is delighted at the turn OF events
against Madero, according to an al
legged message from him today from
Cairo. where the ironman OF Mexico
and his son are spending the winter.
According to intimate friends of
Diaz the general predicted the down
fall Of the Madero government. He
said that it was inevitable because
Madcro held out to his countrymen
false promises which he had no in
tention of fulfilling"
He also felt that Madero's over
throw was sure to come, because OF
the fickleness of the Mexicans, which
the a5ei veteran said was his chief
reoroach against his people. 1t is
believed by his friends here that
Diaz's money brought about the
liberation of Felix Diaz from prison
yesterday and he isi backing the re-
volt of the federal troops.

Madero Failed to Make Good.

Special bv United Press Wire.
Mexico City. Feb. l0:-F'inaily
yielding to the desperate pressure
under which 1t has been for over a
year, the Madero reign Is tottering
today. and bids fair to pass Into HE.
tory as the reign of man dreamer,
and theorist who. placed in posi-
tion to carry out his theories, hesl-
tated and was lost.
When Francisco Madero first ap-
peared as candidate for the presL
dency against Porforio Diaz. in 1910,
his platform was liberal and demo.
cratic in the extreme, He preached
Mexico for Mexicans, a redistribu-
tion OF lands so that 4 portion of the
vast estates owned by government
officials aud foreigners might be
turned over to the poor Tor cultiva-
ton. He advocated freedom of the
press: abolition of the election sys-
TEN set up by Diaz. which made 10
impossible for the people to really
name the head of their government
and the popular election OF minor
officials.
The fighting courage OF Madero
has never been doubted and his
flight from Mexico City Is taken al
an indication of the hopelessness OF
the situation. During his campaign
for the presidency he was arrested,
thrown in Jail at San Louis Potost
and held there until after the cleo
ton, at which Diaz was unanimously
reelected. Then came Madero's
declaration OF principles from his
prison and the revolt against DaS.
Madero entered Mexico City as con-
uuering hero. Senior De La Barra
was appointe1 provisional president,
pending an election at which lladero
was formally chosen.
General Reyes. killed during the
fighting yesterday, returned al that
time, and there was II popular de-
mand for Reyes as minister OF war,
Reyes did not remain in favor WIN
the Madero government ionFs how
ever, and soon left the country. VITA
this affront the people renewed their
demand for the promised redistribu-
ton of lands. Madero pleaded for
more time and the organization OF q
new revolt than begun to get undaT
way.

YOUNG BOY IS
OPERATION HERO
Howard Post Gives Skin to Save Hand
Of His Sister-Was Very
Brave

Howard Post, the 11-year-old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. l.. J. Post, of
South Broadway, was the hero OF
an unusual operation here today.
The lad gave several strips of skin,
in all measuring about three inches
by an inch and half, from his body
to be grated on to the hand of his
sister, Cecilia, in an effort to save
her fingers, which were recently burn.
ed and crushed in an accident at the
Coos Bay Steam Laundry.
Miss Posts hand was accidentally
caught in an ironing machine and the
skin and flesh torn from two fingers
and part of the hand In order to
save it, the physicians found that cor
siderable skin grating would be neces-
sary. Howard valiantly offered to fur.
nish the necessary skin and this morn
ing the operation was performed in
the office Of Drs. Houseworth and
Straw
Howard underwent the operation
without taking an anaesthetic and
never flinched or gave an outcry to
indicate the pain that he must have
suffered as the physicians took the
skin off in little patches from his
leg to be grated onto the injured
hand of his sister.
This afternoon he is receiving
many congratulations from those
who became aware of his heroic &C.

as result the game warden was
iisarmed and told to go back to his
own state while the hunters returned
home with their game unmolested. An
other Wyoming officer while trying
to make an arrest on the disputed ter
ritory, was given the same kind of
treatment.
AS result Of the dispute, feeling
is very bitter between the wardens
and the Idaho farmers. Each side
promises to shoot on sight, and as
the men are determined frontiers
men there is little doubt but what the
threats will be carried out! Idaho far
mers in that section must hereafter
hunt game wardens rather than elk,
or else keep off the disputed section.
If the contention of Idaho residents
Is correct, the state authorities should
lose no time in putting a quietus on

For the information and guidance O

sident's Office Circular
Through the fuller installation o.
the Government Parcel Post on Jan
uary 1, 1913, new system, for which
there seems to be a demand, has en-
tered the transportation field, afford
ing the public an additional service
on shipments of IL lbs. and less which
at no time in the past has this com
pany opposed nor will it in the future
This policy must be strictly maintain
ed by our officials and employees by re-
framing from any attitude unfriendly
to or criticism of the Parcel Post; de-
voting their time and attention to-
wards the continued development of
the efficiency of the Company's SER
vice to the public.
With its enormous resources and
vast commercial interests, this coun-
try is large enough for both Express
Companies and the Parcel Post. Each
will serve the public in it's respec-
tive capacity, and the conclusion can
safely be drawn that the shipping
community will carefully consider the
benefits to be derived from the SER
vice rendered by both systems, utiliz.
ing that which best meets their re-
quirements.
From very small beginning in the
year 1841, the business of the Ameri-
can Express Company has grown and
developed until today it is an import
ant factor to the commercial interests,
of the country in respect of it's for

The Company will continue to give
it's patrons service that will meet
their needs simple, efficient and COM
plete in all details, with the assurance
Of increased facilities as fast as the
growth of traffic and business inter-
ests require it and the hope that our
