Congress gave respectful attention to President Taft's message today, but there were comparatively few members who were willing to concede the probability of fav orable action at the preoent session on many of the recommendations contained therein. This was In view of the fact that the session will close March 4. The message waa delivered to both houses by Secretary Lett a soon after they con vened at noon. Mr. Latta made his first appearance In th enate, arriving Imme diately after the announcement of th president's Intention to communicate hla views "In writing." This announcement was made by Sen ator Cullom on behalf of himself and Sen ator Money, who constituted the senatorial committee to Inform the president that the senate was prepared to receive recom mendations from him. Almost Immediately afterward Mr. Latta delivered the message to tha house. Th reading of th document, which waa of unusual length, was begun at 13:19 p. m. In the senate. At flret most of th senators listened attentively to tha reading, but gradually this attention ceased, on th part of most of them and those who remained In th chamber devoted them selves to printed copies before them.
