SENDS CONGRESS A
VIGOROUS MESSAGE
Censures Action of Lower
House of Islands
Assembly.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-In a Wig
Taft expresses the opinion that the
United States has gone too far in the
extension of the powers of self govern
ment to the people of Porto Rico and
recommends certain notifications of
the so-called Foraker act providing
for the administration of the affairs of
Porto Rico.
He cenSureS the action of the house
Of delegates of the island for refusing
to pass an appropriation bill for the
coming fiscal year and suggests the
desirability of taking from this lower
body of the Porto Rican assembly the
power to hamper the government. He
recommends the Foraker act be amend
ed to provide for appropriations in the
event that the assembly adjourns with
out making such provision.
"The regular session of the legis-
lative assembly of Porto Rico adjourn
ed March II last, without passing the
usual appropriation bills. The special
session was convened by the governor
on March 16 and it adjourned without
making appropriations, leaving the
island without provision for support
after June 80, next.
Ever since the institution of the
present assembly, the house of dele
gates has uniformly held up appropri-
atiOnS until the last minute Of the reg
ular session and has sought to use its
power to do SO as a means of COM
peIling the concurrence of executive
council in legislation which the house
desired.''
The message recites how the ex-
ecutive council in the last assembly
refused to pass certain bills passed by
the house, whereupon the latter body
refused to pass necessary appropria-
| ton bills. The president recommends
an amendment to the Foraker act pro-
yiding that whenever the Legislative
assembly adjourns without making the
appropriations necessary to carry OF
the government, sums amounting tC

CHUCK HAYES GETS
AWAY BUT IS BACK
Trusty at the County Jail Makes His
Escape During Band Concert But
Is Landed After Short Term
of Liberty.

Betraying the confidence imposed in
him by Sheriff James Haviland, VINO
endeavored to make things easier than
they ordinarily are, in the county jail
Charles Lafferty, better known as
Chuck" Hayes, last night violated his
oath as a ''trusty' and taking advan-
tage of the crowd attending the band
concert, made his way through it and
escaped His life of freedom was short
however, for owing to the watchful-
ness of Deputy Charles Painter, he was
apprehended in FreeWater about
o'clock this morning by one of the
Oregon officials.
Lafferty, who formerly served a year
in the penitentiary for horse stealing
was arrested last December 26 for re-
sisting an officer in Prescott and given
seven months in the county Jail. After
being confined there for short time,
he was awarded the position of cook
and was allowed a great deal of lax
ity, provided he remained upon the
grounds Immediately surrounding the
building. He gave his personal word to
Sheriff Haviland that he would make
no attempts to escape and up to the
present time, kept MS oath Last night
the temptation proved too strong,
however, and he made his break fo;
liberty.
Knowing the habits of the man, the
sheriff at once sent an officer to Free
water, where the grandfather of Hayes
lives and gave him instructions to
keep a careful watch upon these prem.

the exconvict was seen creeping to-

father is a murderer, having killed his
man in Missouri and from all accounts,
it seems that Chuck" is the true son
of his sire
He was brought from Freewater this
morning by Deputy Floyd Haviland
and lodged in the hole where he will
be given ample opportunity to repent
of his ways. He will be tried for es-
Gaping his parole and effort will be
made to have him get the limit, twice
the time that he had to serve when he
made his escape, or in this case, about

AUTOMOBILE RUNS
DOWN B|CYCL|ST
w. J. Cantonwine in an Auto CoIlides
With Bert Berry on a Wheel,
and the Latter Is Much
Worse for Wear.

% Throwing on the emergency brake
and doing all in his power to stop the
car in time, the automobile driven by
w. ]. Cantonwine during the after
noon hour today ran into Bert Berry,
a young man living on the outskirts
of the city while he was riding BIZ
cycle and though not seriously injur-
ing him, bruised him badly and made
total wreck of his bicycle.
Mr. Cantonwine and party Of
friends were coming down Alder street
at a moderate clip when they noticed
Berry and another person approach
ing on wheels. Mr.. Cantonwine says
he kept to the right and was not
going more than four or five miles
an hour when Berry, it is said. ran
into his wheel mate and being thrown
back by the recoil. fell in front of the
oncoming automobile. His quickness
of mind is all that prevented serious
accident. for no sooner did the car
strike him than he grasped the fend-
ers and held on. His bicycle rolled
beneath the machine and when
brought to a stop, Berry was still hold
ing fast to the hood.
The automobile is also badly wreck
ed and it will cost over $50 to have
it properly repaired The hood is
bent, the fan is broken and the rear
axle is considerably damaged. Mr..
Cantonwine feels that he is not to be
blamed for the mishap, as he claims
that he kept to his side Of the road,
and ought not to be held responsible
for the accident.
Berry will be temporarily on the
sick list and thinks that for the time
he loses and the loss of his b1cycle
he should be awarded damages.
