panions TO us, and sometimes we find
ourselves moving unconsciously with

There is also a narrow-gauge rail
road to the coast. Taking II for
granted that Diaz would take the
more luxurious route, the bandits did
not molest the narrow-gauge road.
For this reason II was chosen by Diaz
for his trip.
Presumably, De la Barra and the
higher governmental officials have
been informed OF Diaz's movements,
but their lips are sealed on every de-
tail.
Even Americans high in authority
with the road have been impressed
with the necessity for maintaining
silence.
General Diaz, still feeble from his
illness and far from being a well
man, left his home under dreary cir
cumstances. Rain had fallen earlier
in the night, and by the time the
former President emerged from his
house the air was chilly. He was
closely mufled. To aid in the dis
gulSe, borrower duloHloDlle was
used. The trip to the San Lazaro
Station was made over untrequented
streets.
BY a prearranged scheme. at the
last moment, police were scattered
along the way. At certain points
close friends of the former Chief
Executive, including those who are
to accompany him across the Allan
tic. fell In behind the Diaz auto
mobile.

Mexico City.-Presiden Porfrio
Diaz, in letter read by the presi-
dent of the Chamber of Deputies,
Thursday afternoon resigned the
presidency of the Republic of Mex
leo, and at 4:54 o'clock the accept
ance of the resignation by the Cham
ber OF Deputies was announced.
Vice-President Ramon Cbrrals
resignation was also accepted, and
Minister of Foreign Affairs Francisco
Leo De La Barra was chosen Pro
visional President to serve until a
general election can be held.
Everyone had expected an uproar
when the announcement should be
made. but within the chamber the
words announcing the event were fol
lowed by silence. The deputies
seemed awed by what had taken
place.
In the streets, black with people
the news that Diaz was no longer
the president was the signal for wild
shouting and manifestations. There
was no violence or destruction OF
property
On the motion to accept the Presi'
dents resignation 167 deputies voted
aye, while no expression was made by
Beni.o Juarez, descendant of Presi
dent Juarez, and Conception de
Vale. AS their names were called
all other legislators rose and bowed
their affirmation.

TAFT TO SCOTCH CHURCH
Hopes For Arbitration and That
Canada VIII Fly Flag
Of Bri ain.

Edinburgh.-A message from
President Taft, in which he pleads
for international arbitration treaties
as a method of abolishing war and
hopes that Canada will continue to
prosper and fly the British flag" was
read before the General Assembly
of the Church Of Scotland by Rev.
DR.. Macdonald, of Toronto, Canada.
The message follows:
at is the sincerest desire of my
life to see the two great sections of
the English-speaking races join in a
treaty of unlimited arbitration which
will make wars forever more improb-
able There is no question OF nat
ional honor nor interest that can
ever arise between the Mother Coun-
try and the United States which can
not, with dignity and in a practical
manner, lead to Independent judicial
arbitration without resorting to war.
"It is our sincerest desire that
Canada shall continue to prosper and
fy the British flag, sharing with the
United States the responsibility for
North American progress. 1t is my
confident hope that the treaty will
prepare the way for wider and more
peaceful relations among all nations
and bring into reality the days fore
told by the ancient prophets, when
nations shall not lift the sword
against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more

FALLEN DICTATOR
GOES TO SPAIN
Steals Away From Capital at
Night.
IN GREAT DREAD OF BANDITS.
Three Railroad Trains, the First
Pilot, the Second Carrying the
Fueitives, and the Third
Bearing a N 4 tary Guard.

Mexico City.-Porfrio Diaz, for
whom during 80 years all Mexico
stood to one side, Friday, hat in
hand, stole from the capital. Only
a few devoted friends, whom he dared
TO trust, followed him to the station
at o'clock A. NJ, shortly after the
celebration over his resignation had
luieted down.
Diaz was bound for Vera Cruz to
lake ship for Spain. In the distance
he could hear the voices of a few of
the more enthusiastic citizens who
we're still acclaiming the new Presi-
dent, Francisco Leon de la Barra,
and shouting viva Madero."
SO carefully were the arrange
ments made for the abdicated Presi-
dents secret escape that the news did
not transpire until late in the day.
Secrecy was due less to apprehension
OF a popular outburst than to a de-
sire to reach Vera Cruz before
marauders along the route could
learn of the trip.
Travel between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz usually is over the Mexi-
can Railroad standard-gauge line
with modern equipment. Rails along
this route, however, frequently have
been removed OF late by bandits, who
we're determined thi.. Diaz, for rea-
sons best known to themselves,
should not leave the capital. They
are reported to have harbored the
idea that Diaz would follow the pre-
,edent OF other Latin American
Presidents and carry the national
funds with him.

IT is rather comfortable to hear that
the opinion of experts in the Lake Su-
yerior region is decidedly adverse to
the view that the supplies OF iron ore
at the present rate of increased use
viii last only a short time. Those IA

lions of tons in the Cascade range, be-
sides millions proved up in the Neg

the west ward of the latter. Possibly
strict analysis of the prophecy of
short life for our ore supply would
disclose that it refers only to the ex-
haustion of the Mesaba deposits. Even
then they are predicated on the main
tsnsnce of rate of increase in min

past two decades. Apart from the cor.

France, was unanimously accepted
and similarly Senior de la Barra,
recently ambassador to Washington,
was chosen. provisional president.
Senior de la Barra took the oath OF
office at noon Friday in the Yellow

sentative, insuring the handling Of
popular demonstrations by a leader
Of the new regime.
Personally, Dominguez commands

FOR WORLDWIDE PEACE
Carnegie Endowment Plan Outlined
at Mohonk Conference
Council Named.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y.-At the open
ing OF the seventeenth annual meet
ing OF the Lake Mohonk Conference
on International Arbitration, Presi'
dent Nicholas Murray Butler, of Co
lumbia University, presiding officer
OF the conference, for the first time
made public the plans of the Car
negie Endowment for International
Peace.
President Butler in his address
said:
at has been determined by the
trustees of the Carnegie Endowment
to organize the undertaking COM
mitted to their charge as a great
institution for research and public
education and to carry on its work
in three parts or divisions-a divi-
sion OF international law, division
of economies and history and di-
vision OF international education.
"The division OF international law
will be under the direction of Prof.
James Brown Scott.
For this purpose the endowment
will associate with DR.. Scott con-
sultive board composed of some OF
the most distinguished international
lawyers in the word.
'The second division OF the work
will be under the direction Of Prof.
John Bates Clark, of Columbia Uni
versity.
1T will be the business OF this
division to study the economic causes
and effects of war; the effect upon
the public opinion OF nations and
upon the International goodwill, Of
retaliatory, discriminatory and pref
erential tariffs; the economic aspects
OF the present huge expenditures for
military purposes, and the relation
between military expenditures and
international well-being and the
worldwide program for social i'm
provement and reform which is held
in waiting through lack of means for
its execution
For the third division the direc-
tor has not yet been announced. II
will be the function of this division
to supplement the work OF the two
divisions"

tee appointed two years ago to con-
slider the establishment of a national
council for arbitration and peace was

No MERCY FOR BIG CRIMINALS
Presisert Taft Refuses TO Pardon
Morse and Walsh--Crimes
Against Socisty.

Washington.-Pre Taft de-
MED the applications for the pardon
of Charles w. Morse, of New York,
and John r. Walsh, OF Chicago, the
two most prominent bankers ever
convicted and sent to federal peni-
tentiaries under the national bank
ing laws. Not only did the Presi-
dent refuse to pardon either Morse
or Walsh, but he also declined at
this time to exercise any other sort
of executive clemency in these cases,
or to shorten the sentences imposed
upon the two men by the courts in
which they were convicted.
In denying the pardons the Presi-
dent took a firm stand that the nat
ional banking laws or any other laws
must be upheld when they affect the
rich man even more than when they
affect the poor. The record in the
Walsh case, the President said in a
long opinion, Shows moral turpi-
tude of that insidious and danger
Gus kind, to punish which the nat
ional banking laws were especially
enacted"
In considering the case of Morse
the President said that, from a con-
sideration of the facts in each case
| have no doubt that Morse should
have received heavier sentence than
Walsh. Indeed the methods taken
by Morse tend to show that more
keenly than Walsh, did he realize
the evil of what he was doing"
In his opinion in the Walsh case
the President protested against the
failure to discriminate between
legitimate business and improper
gain.
