PRESIDENT DIAZ : RESIGNS OFFICE De la Bsrra Becomes Provision al Pissidsnt Oi Mexico. RIOT PRECEDES FINAL EVENT. Seven Killed and Thirty-Six Wounded It Official Lift of Casualties Police 1 Fire L'pon the Crowd Five Person . Slain at Guadalajara. Mexico City, May 26. President Porflrio Diaz Is dead! Long live Citi zen Porfirio Diaz! President Diaz, in a letter read by the president of the chamber of depu ties, resigned the presidency of the republic of Mexico, and the accept ance of the resignation by the depu ties was announced. Everyone had expected an uproar and demonstration when the announce ment should be made, but within the chamber the words announcing Hie event were followed by silence. The deputies seemed awed by what had taken place. In the streets, however, black with people, every street leading to the hall being blocked, news that Diaz was at last no more the president was the signal for wild shouting and mani festations. There was no violence nor no destruction of property. On the motion to accept the presi dent's resignation, 167 deputies voted aye, while two of them did not express themselves. In similar fashion the resignation of Vice President Ramon Corral, now ia France, was unanimously accepted, and similarly Francisco Leon de la Barra. late ambassador to Washing ton, chosen provisional president. Letter of Resignation, j Diaz' letter of resignation follows: "Sirs The Mexican people who gen rously have covered me with honors, who patriotically assisted me In all workB undertaken to develop Industry and the commerce of the republic, es tablish its credit, gain for it the re spect of the world, and obtain for It an honorable position In the concert of nations; that same people, sirs, has revolted In armed military "hands, stating that my presence In the exer cise of the Fiipreme executive power Is the cause of this Insurrection. I do not know of any fact Imputable to me Thlch could have caused this phenom ena; but, permitting, though not ad mitting, that I may be unwittingly culpable, such a possibility makes me the least able to reason out and de cide my own culpability. Therefore, respecting as I have always respected the will of the people, and in accord ance with article 82 of the federal con stitution, I come before the supreme representatives of the nation In order to resign, unreservedly, the office of constitutional president with which the national vote honored me, which I do with all the more reason, since In order to continue in office It would be necessary to shed Mexican blood, en dangering the credit of the country, dissipating Its wealth, exhausting Its resources and exposing Its policy to International complications. "I hope, gentlemen, that when the Tiassions which are Inherent to all revolutions have been calmed, a more conscientious and Just study will bring cut in the national mind a correct Judgment which, when I die, I may parry graven on my soul as a Just esti mate of the life which I have devoted and' will devcte to my countrymen. With all respect, PORFIRIO DIAZ." Rioting Precedes Final Event.

The 266 miles of the route is almost' entirely over desolate ranges, varying from 1,000 to 5,000 feet in height, where a fall meant death and to make a fresh start would be Impossible. Gibert fought the first recorded bat tle of the air.' A large, fierce eagle swooped down to give battle to Its new rival. Manipulating the levers as best he could, Gibert with his left hand groped in his pocket for a re volver. He fired two shots at the ea gle, which dropped behind. He said it was one of the most exciting Incidents of his life. The bird swooped down upon him viciously and struck at him with its powerful beak. It only suc ceeded in carrying off his cap. He then fired at It, and he believes that one of the shots wounded the bird. Road Expert Will Be Sent to Nebraska Washington, May 26.

HARLAN FILES FORMAL DISSENT Associate Justice Asserts Stand ard Oil Ruling Is Wrong. DECLARES ARGUMENT FAULTY. Subsidiary Companies Granted Right of "Undue Restraint" Says Court's Opinion Will Greatly Disturb Na tion's Business. Washington, May 26. Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan filed in the supreme court his formal dissent ing opinion In the Standard Oil case. Not satistled with his oral, disseut from the court's decision as handed jown by Chief Justice White, Justice Harlan entirely rewrote the steno graphic report of his remarks from the bench. ' Justice Harlan brands as mischiev ous the mollification made by the court in the decree of the lower court permitting subsidiary corporations of the Standard Oil, after dissolution, to make "normal and lawful agree ment" among themselves. Chief Jus tice White had characterized this modification as a "minor matter." The further declaration is made by Jjstice Harlan that he is convinced the court's opinion "will throw the business of the country Into confusion and invite widely extended and harass ing litigation, the Injurious effects of which will be felt for years to come." In connection with what he terms a "mischievous modification," Justice Harlan quotes the chief Justice as say ing that "it does not necessarily fol low that because an illegal restraint of trade or an attempt to monopolize or a monopolization resulted from the combination and the transfer of the stocks of the subsidiary corporations to the New Jersey corporation, that a like restraint of trade or attempt to monopolize or monopolization would necessarily ar'ae from agreements be tween one or more of the subsidiary corporations after the transfer of the stock by the New Jersey corporation." "Authorizes Due Restraint.". "Taking this language In connection with other parts of the opinion," says Justice Harlan, "the subsidiary com panies are thus in effect Informed unwisely, I think that although the New Jersey corporation being an Ille gal combination must go out of exist ence they may Join In an agreement to restrain commerce among the states, If such restraint be not 'undue. " As in his oral remarks Justice Har lan devotes himself largely to criti cism of the court for holding that not every restraint of trade violates the law. He reiterates that the court re versed Its former rulings in the trans missourl freight and joint traffic asso ciation cases. Quoting Beveral bun dred words from each of these opin ions. Justice Harlan says: "These utterances show, so clearly and affirmatively as to admit of no doubt, that this court, many years ago, on the fullest consideration, Inter preted the antl trust act as prohibit Ins and making illegal not only every contract or combination in whatever form was in restraint of Interstate commerce without regard to Its rea sonnhleness or unreasonableness, but all monopolies or attempt to monopo lize any part of such trade or com merce."

Right to Present Amendment. Washington, May 26. Ity more tham a two thirds vote Democratic senators in caucus decided to support the Mar tin resolution directing the senate committee on privileges and elections to reinvestigate the Iirlmer caa. Several senators reserved the right to offer amendments and some of theca declared they would not be bound br the caucus action. Senator Hitchcock reserved tb.9 right to present an amendment direct ing the committee on privileges and elections to designate a subcommittee on Investigation to be approved by ths senate. A number of senators indi cated that they would support such a provision. Senator Martlno (N. J.) was amonf those who declined to subscribe to the majority action. He was taken sharply to task by Senator Bailey and, a heated colloquy resulted. Senator Jeff Duvls left the meeting early, de claring that as he had already deter mined to vote for the LaFollette reso lution, he would not be hound by any action the caucus might take. The verbal tncotinter between Bai ley and Marline originated In Bailey's demand for general support of the Martin resolution. Bailey said that any senator who refused to be bound; by the caucus had no rightful place in the party councils. This aroused the senators who favor the taFollette res olution providing for an Inquiry by special commltteo of new senators. Bailey contended that more thai two thirds of the caucus favored the Martin resolution, and It was thus the duty of all Democratic senators to abide by thnt decision. Martlne replied thnt, while willing to compare his party record with thnt of tho Texas senator, he was unwilling to be bound by a party caucus on a moral ques tion. Saying he would not bandy words regarding the character of his orn Democracy as compared with that of another senator, Ilailey Insisted that all senators were duty bound to abld by tho two-thirds decision of the cau cus. Martlno replied as pointedly, and the colloquy continued until Martlne withdrew from the caucus, reiterating thnt ho would not be bound by it on nny except a political question.
