FRAMING PEACE AGREEMENT

Mexico City. Mex, May lS.-Porhrlo
Diaz, at a meeting OF his cabinet, den
nitely offered to resign the presidency
of Mexico before the end of the pres
ent month.
This development in the political
crisis was brought about by the de-
mands of the insurgents. Who, since
their victory at Juarez, have pressed
their terms Of peace to the limit.
The main cause Of the resumption
of hostilIties at the northern city was
the refusal of Diaz to drop the reins
OF power until the country was in a
tranquil condition. this to be judged
By DiaZ.
The rebels were so infamed by the
half-deiant message of the aged ruler
that they attacked Juarez In spite Of
Madero, who had to allow them to
capture the city and its garrison.

Relatives OF PRESIDENT muiCteu OF W

Washington. May lS.-The president
Is congratulating himself that there
are some good losers in the Taft
family.
Coupled with the announcement
that DR.. and Mrs. Edwards, Of Call
fornia, the latter sister Of President
Taft, are coming to the White House

Quotes Taft's Views.

President Taft's views Of the Stand
ard OIL decision by the supreme court
have given rise to lively conjecture
in all quarters in the capital, although
the president himself refuses 10 make
any public comment.
While the message OF the president
of Jan. Z, 1910, is quoted by some to
show that the reading OF the word
unreasonable" into the Sherman anti.
trust law to qualify restraint OF
trade" was in line with his own
thought. others point to the same ut
terances TO show that the president
opposed any such qualification Of the
important act
At the same time callers at the
White Houce thought they detected
some disappointment on the part OF
the PRESIDENT over the courts narrow
ing construction OF the statute, but II
was evident that Mr. Taft expected
no handicap for the government from
this source in the actions II mN deem
necessary against corporations.
The president declined TO comment
upon the decision. but his visitors
gained the impression that he person
ally would have preferred a decision
without the definite limitation which
the supreme court has placed upon
the statute by reading the word "un-
,oooop a hlo" into the law
The president told callers in reply
10 questions that a man might hold
views Of his own before a decision had
been made by the supreme court, but
that after the court had handed down
its opinion II was the part OF law
abiding citizen to accept IT,
The president added. 1t Is under
stood. that he was glad to bow to the
decision of the court and would be the
last man to express opposing views
There Will be no change in the atti-
tude Of the department Of justice TO-
ward the prosecutions OF corporations
nnder the sherman law. The depart
ment. Il was said authoritatiyely, has
never attempted any actions under the
antitrust law except in cases where
an unreasonable restraint OF inter
state commerce was apparent.
The president and his advisers are
firmly of the opinion that the oil de
cision will not hinder the enforce
ment OF the law and that the govern
ment will still be able to reach efec-
lively all bad" trusts. which are the
only trusts that the administration has
ever had in mind as objects Of prose
cutiOn.

Washington, May 1S.-The decision
of the United States supreme court In
the Standard oil cose has revived the
demand for further antltrus, legisla
ton and three bills have been intro.
duced in the senate to amend the
Sherman antitrust law.
The bills are designed to Offset the
Interpretation Of the law as laid down
by Chief Justice White and seven OF
his eight colleagues and to take away
from courts the discretion to difleren
tiate between good" and bad trusts
In his opinion the chief justice read
the word unreasonable into the law

One form Of amendment suggested
tentatively by progressive Republicans
follows:
NO combination In restraint oil
trade shall be regarded as reasonable
within the terms of this act"
Mr.. Clayton. Democrat, chairman Of
the house judiciary committee. said
that he thought the court had exceed
ed its constitutional powers, and that
il would be necessary for congress to
repair the injury that had been done
to the antitrust act Mr.. Clayton said
that his committee would meet to take
ND the question and TO consider meas
ures for the maintenance Of the in
tegrity OF the act as it was intended
and enacted by congress.
His views are believed to reflect
those Of the majority OF the commit
tee. and the only difficulty before the
committee Is ia find the appropriate
means OF accomplishing what in the
general view Of the mater is regarded
as lmperatiyely the need Of the hour
There is little doubt that an amend
