WANTS NEW ORGANIC
 ACT FOR PORTO RICO
Governor Yager Comes Here With Hope of Inducing Congress to Give
 Island Form of Home Rule.

New York, Nov. 23-Arthur Wager, governor of Porto Rico, arrived here today aboard the steamship Brazos from San Juan on his way to Wash irgton, where he said, he hoped to be able to induce congress to pass a new organic act for the island.
 During the year I have been in Porto Rico as governor" said Mir. Wager, there has been a notable pro- gress in the political and industrial de- velopment of the island. Notwith- standing the fact that the democrats, by enacting the new tariff, caused a severe injury to the economic situa- ticn, President Wilson is exceedingly popular in Porto Rico. The people are very sentimental Latin Americans tremendously interested .in some form of home rule for their little island They confidently hope that the gov ernment will give it to them in some safe and sane form.
 Sensible Porto Ricans do not as n rule desire complete independence, but they do desire and feel entitled to a. larger participation in their own local government than has heretofore been given them."

Of the strictly To- cal stocks, Union Carbide was the most active, selling at 16 points above the July closing figures. Other stocks were we'll above the July 90 close.

IMMUNITY CLAIMED
 BY T. D. CUTLER
Remaining Indicted New Haven Di- lcctOrs and Former Officials Are
 Undecided How to Plead.

New York, Nov. 23.-The twenty one directors and former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hart lord Railroad company under indict- ment on charges of violating the Sherman antitrust law, had not de- cided today how they wanted to plead. The single exception was Thomas De- witt Cuyler. William Rockefeller and the other men under indictment so announced through counsel in ap- bearing in the federal court for final pleading on this, the last day which had been given them.
 Their request that they be given until tomorrow to make up their minds was granted.
 MT. Cuyler entered a plea in bar of prosecution. claiming immunity on the ground that on February z, 1913, in the capacity of director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road company he answered a sub- poena and appeared as a witness be- fore the federal grand jury of this district, which was then Investigating an alleged violation of the Sherman law.
 At that time. he asserted, he pro- duced a copy of the traffic agreement between the Grand Trunk and the New Haven Railroad companies which, it was claimed, led to the sus- pension of work on the Rhode Island extensions. Because he was a wit ness in the inquiry which! led to the indictment of President Mellen, of the New Haven, and President Chamber lain of the Grand Trunk, MT. Cuyler claimed that the United States was barred from prosecuting him and he asked that the indictment in so far as it concerned him be dismissed.
