New York a St. ve wit Mo.,- Office: POS 309 N. NinthXst. WASHINGTON, May 10.—President Taft today sent to Congress a special message, recommending legislation at the present extra session amending the Foraker act, under which Porto Rico is governed. The President directs the attention of Congress to affairs on the island, laying particular stress on what he terms ‘‘a situation of unusua! gravity,’ devel- oped through the. failure of the legisla- tive assembly of Po*to Rico to pass the usual appropriations bills, leaving the island — support after June next, Porto Ricans have forgotten the gen- erysity of the United States, the Pres- ident says, in the desire of certain of the island’s political leaders for power, and he adds that the present situation indicates that the United States has.gone too fast in the extension of political power to the Porto Ricans. He _ con- cludes that the absolute power of ap- propriation should be taken away from “those who have shown themselves too irresponsible to enjoy it.’ Law Should Be Changed. The President suggests to Congress the wisdom of submitting ‘to the \Ap- propriation Committee the ques- tion of qualifying some of the provisions of the fundamental act as to the respective jurisdictions of the exec- J utive council and theNegislative assem- bly. But no action of this kind, the Presi- dent ‘says, should be begun until the Foraker act is amended, so that when without making the appropriation neces- sary to carry on the Government, sums equal to the appropriations made in the previous yéar shall be available from the current revenues and shall be drawn by warrant of the Treasurer and countersigned by the Governor. Such a provision applies to the Legis- lature of the Philippines and Hawaii, the President says, and he adds that “it has prevented in those two coun- tries any misuse of the power of appro-

priation.’’ e

MISS HILDEGARDE HALLEN.

CONTINUANCE TANEN IN TRIAL Ur MISS HALLE Miss Hildegarde Hallen’s trial on a charge of acknowledging as a notary a forged signature will begin. in Judge Skeelds’ court Wednesday. Thé case against her was called Monday and continued by agreement to give Assist- ant Circuit Attorney Newton, who has been out of the city, an opportunity to complete certain preparatory work. Miss Hallen’s counsel, Chase’ Morsey, asked for a continuance until Thurs- day instead of Wednesday as-he would have another matter in court Wednes- day, but when Judge Shields learned the other matter was in a justice court he insisted.that the case. be called Wednesday. \ A subpoena for M. Dwight Fortner has been issued at the request of the defense in order to preclude any state- ment by the State that there had heen no attempt made to get Fortner into court. Miss Hallen’s defense will be that in her work she merely obeyed orders of her employer, without crimi- nal intent and not knowing that she was doing wrong. To establish:that, M. Dwight Fortner, her former employer, would be a material witness. Miss Hallen was present in: court, sim- ply attired, but she was not arraigned.
