Washington, Dec. THE first an
nual message of President Taft was
delivered 10 congress today. 1t was
presented in both houses by Assis-
tant Secretary Latta and in both
houses was Ceceived shortly after II
o'clock.
In the senate, when the reading of
the message began at 1912 d. n,
Epeat interest was manifested by
both Republicans and Democrats.
There was a full attendance of sen
ators on the floor of the chamber and
as soon as copies of the document
had been furnished to, them they Tiv-
eted their attention upon the printed
pages.
While the secretary of the senate
read the presidents words, many sen
atOrs fastened over the pamphlet,
hunting for subjects in which they
were especially interested. The 9th
ers proceeded in the more orderly
way of following the reading from
the desk.
Following close upon the heels OF
the house committee appointed to
wait uDOn the president, Secretary
Latta entered the house at 12:14
bearing the presidents communica-
ton. There was a scramble by mem
beTs to obtain first copies when the
bundles containing them were I'M
wrapped. The speaker at once or
dered the clerk to begin the reading

commented upon. The portions which
attracted most attention were those
relating to the complication with
Nicaragua, the diminutiOn of public
expenditures, the custom house frauds
and the tariff act
The, mildness of the first part of
the message dealing with routine Eu
rouean matters led to the opinion that
the new president would be compare
lively formal in his treatment Of
such subjects. When, however, the
reading had progressed further it was
discovered that he could be vigOrOu,
in the use of language when he de-
sired and one senator said that some
of the expressions had caused him To
doubt whether there had been a
change of administration.
The one phrase which attracted
most attention was found in cOnneC-
tiOn with the presidents treatment
of the Zelaya incident, of which he
spoke as the sad tale of unsDeakI-
Bile baTbaritieS" His use of the eX-
