Again that clause of tha fixieral constitu tion giving congress control over ir. terstate commerce 's viel in mystery, and its full significance re mains unfathomed and almost un fatbomed and almost unfathomable. The Standard Oil decision of the United States supremo court has not cleared it un. it has merely demor. stratcd how Impossible is a complete ' and final interpretation of the clause. I The Sherman Anti Trust law Is an offspring of that clause: It also is j enveloped in a maze of decisions and i counter decisions; it remains Just ) as rigid or Just as elastic as tno in terpreting Jurist cares to make it. "What, for Instance, Is "restraint of trade " What is a reasonable "re straint" of trade and what is "ur. reasonable"? Could any adequate and complete definition of these phrases to cover all cases with automatic ri gidity bo given Sharp Differences. There are two schools of thought, two legal philosophies, woven about these phrases. One takes a broad viow and the other a narrow view. To one school the definito charge against a corporation, "restraint of trade," is like a red flag to a bull: it means that tho corporation is il legally suppressing competition and manipulating prices artificially. Tho other school say's, in effect, that "re straint of trade" is a commonplaco and necessary attribute of dally bur iness; that it occurs every time ons corporation, through superior acum en and advanced methods, succeeds in absorbing tho business of another. And between these two lines of thought, neither the supremo court of the United States, nor any other intellectual agency, has succeeded in finding harmony or compromise. Confusing Decision. In the Standard Oil decision, the supreme court took a broad view of tho phrase. Although the Sherman act prohibits "restraint of trade," and makes violation of the law pun ishable by a fine and Imprisonment, tho highest court in the land has Inserted tho word "unreasonable," making what Justice Harlan in his dissenting opinion called "Judicial legislation." This was done because tho court held that "restraint of tnuVef could not bo prohibited wltr. out paralyzing tho entire business of tho country, and without suspending the laws of trade, and tho laws of cause and effect.

Wilde, president of Arizona, uni versity, whose subject was "The Relation of the High Schcol to the Community." Dr. Wilde took ad anccd and practical ground, express ing many ideas that are new, but of great value as suggestions In carry- and bringing it into closer touch with the community. Should Study Industry Tho high school should learn,! among other things, all about the' Industries of its own city and tho. immediate neignoornoc. -ine speak er cited the fact that although bo was brought up In a great shoo manufacturing center of Massachu setts, ho was not taught In the schools anything about tne Industry what processes it goes through, -where the goods are sold, or what relation the tariff on leather and hides has to tho industry. The whaling town of New Bedford, Mass., ought to suggest to its high school the wisdom of teaching all about the big fisheries. Here in BIsbee. with mining and agricuuuro as tno leading Industries, the students will be richly rewarded by becoming well informed about them. Should Attend Council And school pupils should attend sessions of the city council to be como familiar with the economics and system of government of the city. This outline barely touches the address, however, a careful pe rusal of which will be found profit, able and enjoyable.

DIAZ FLEES CAPITAL FOR VERA CRUZ, GOING BY WAY OF LITTLE USED RAILROAD Fearing He Would Never be Able to Get Out of Capital Alive Aged Dicta tor Secretly Slips Away in Darkness of Night in Hope of Reaching Refuge in Spain; Like Fugitive From Justice He Hurries Away in Auto Through Dark Streets to Narrow Gauge Railroad in Effort to Elude Insurrectos Watching For Him on Main Road.'- JUAREZ, May 26. A Cordan at Jalapa, Mexico, has been attacked at lepechualco, No details are given. MEXICO CITY. May 26. Private telegrams received tonight report tho arrival of Diaz at Vera Cruz at 3 o' clock this afternoon. Aicc-ding to these advices Diaz boarded tho Yplranga, a Hamburg American boat, tonight. The Yplr anga is due to sail to the south coast tomorrow. She will return to Vera Cms and sail for Europe Wednesday. Railroad reports received say the pilot train was stopped by insurrec tos below Jalapa, but after learning It was serving as a pilot to tho Diaz train it was permitted to proceed. None of tho three trains suffered oth er delays. The End of Diaz. -MEXICO CITY, May 2.C Porflno Diaz, to whom during 30 years all Mexico paid deference secretly 3elt tho capital at 2 o''ctocrtlrt morning. Only a few friends In -whom he trust ed followed him to tho station. He was bound for Vera Cruz to take a ship for Spain. In tho distance ho could hear tho -voices of enthusiastic celebrants who wore acclaiming a new president, Francisco Leon do Ja Barra, ud shouting "Viva Madero." Secrecy of Departure. So carefully wero tho arrange ments made for tho departure that tho details could not bo confirmed un til this afternoon. The secrecy was duo less to apprehension of a popular outburst here than to a desire to reach Vera Cruz without tho fact be ing known to marauding bands along tho route. Travel between hero and the sea port is usually over the Mexican Rail way standard gauge line, with mod em equipment. Tho raill along the route, however, havo frequently been removed of lato by bandits who de termined that Diaz, for reasons best known to themselves, would not leave the capital. Thought Him a Thief. They are reported to have harbor ed tho idea that Diaz would follow tho precedent of other Latin Ameri can presidents and carry tho national funds with him. There is another railroad to tno coast, a narrow gauge affair, owned by tho government. Taking it for granted that Diaz would tako the more luxurious train, the bandits did not molest it for this reason tho narrow gaugo was ihoscn by tne former president for tho trip. Arrives at Vera Cruz. Tho general reached Vera Cruz t&ls afternoon, according to word receiv ed hero tonight, l'rosumably do la Barra and the highor governmental officials have been informed, but their lips arc sealed. Diaz was fceblo from illness when ho left home. A more dreary leave taking could scarcely bo Imagined. Rain had fallen earlior In the night and by the time he emerged from tho houso the air was chilly. Ho was closely muffled and to aid in his dis guise borrowed an auto and used tho route to tho San Lazaro station, which had been mapped out over un frequented stredts. By a pre-arranged plan, at the last moment, tho police scattered along tho line. At certain rolnts close friends of tho former chief executive, (Including those to accompany him across the AtlanUc, fell in behind his limousine. Three Trains Used. Three trains wero used. th first acting 38 pilot. The Diaz special fol lowed and some Umo later a third train, followed by a detachment of the Twenty-fifth infantry, set out. Tho trains ran without orders, to prevent tho rebels along tho lino from picking up tho news from tho wires. Just when, or what ship, Diaz wll sail on is a matter of conjecture Tho French ship Espagno was duo to leavo Vera Cruz yesterday, but it may j have been held at tho disposal ot tha party from Mexico City. Tho Spanish ' liner Manuel Calvo 13 scheduled to' message to Francisco I. Madera late tonight from Senor stated that the train bearing President Diaz to Vera Cruz Previous reports stated that MADERO A PRIVATE CITIZEN; LAYS DOWN ALL AUTHORITY IN MEXICO; TO SPEAK IN EL PASO JUAREZ, May 26. Francisco I. Madero, J, in a manifesto to the people of Mexico tonight, rerlf,ntd the position as provisional president, conferred upon him by the convention of revolutionists at the city of San Luis Pttosl last October, and called upon all Mexicans to support Senor de la Barra as the sole executive of Mexico. Madero places his forces at the disposal of de la Barra and pays a high tribute to the character of the new executive, point ing out that he may well be considered "one of us." The manifesto was MaOero's last act as provisional president and he will now refer all inquiries of the insurrecto forces or the insurrecto civil authorities to Senor de la Barra. Having relinquished the pest which he believed would not per mit him to enter American territory, he accepted tonight the in ' vitatlon of the El Paso city officials to attend a public reception In his honor next Mcnday, following which he will probably leave for Mexico City to assist de la Barra as a private citizen In paci fying the country. neigh anchor tomorrow, sailing vlawlll spread its bread wing3 to all Havana to Barcelona.
