and the owner of a number of rail-
roads and a prominent financial factor
in Chicago, was taken into custody by

reasons why the mandate should be
stayed until application can be made

TAFT SENDS A
MESSAGE
THAT PORTO RICO
HAS FALLEN DOWN HARD
ON SELF GOVERNMENT.

tny United Press,l
WASHINGTON, May lO.--In a
vigorous message sent to congress
today. President Taft expressed the
opinion that the United States has
gone toe far In the extension Of the
powers OF self government 10 the
people Of Porto Rico. and recon-
mends certain notifications In the
so.called Foraker act which provide
for the administration Of affairs
In that island. He ceusures I'M
sparingly the action Of the house OF
delegates Of the island In refusing
TO pass the appropriation bills for
the coming fiscal year, and suggests
the desirahility Of taking from this
lower body Of the Porto Rican as
sembly the power thus to hamper
the government Of the island
