10 consider Mr. Leavitts proposal took the
attitude in its report last night that there
sbourd he no change in the law relating to

RED DIRT WAS IRON ORE
Engineers Hear How Spaniards

For more than fifty yesrs Spaniards IN
cuba plodded over thousands Of acres OF
seemingly worthless red and yellow earth
then American ingenuity revealed that this
hard red dirt was in fact some 10000 go
tons OF good iron ore. This story or the
development Of the Mayari iron ore de-
posts on the north coast Of Cuba was told
last night before the American Institute
of Mining Engineers by Jennings ;. Cox,
ir, general manager OF the Spanish-Ameri-
can Iron Company.
Augers were used 70 make borings, and
II was found that for an area Of $1,000
acres these deposits Of ore extended Tor
depths varying from nothing 10 20 feet, and
avera ging about IS feet.
The drag line scrapers' and team
shoves devised FOR this unique style Of
iron mining were able 20 pick UP IS per
cent Of the pay dirt. Mr.. Cox said. down

The period during which the action took

Dudley was back in town. with Ada over
ton Walker and company Of negro come

rarktcwn was out in force. and there
was such a demonstration as you sho'
never did see nohow. Every time the
unctuous Dudley rolled his eye the gallery
laughed. And whenever the winsome Ada
Walker sang, bedlam was let loose. There
were clapping and stamping and cheering
and every other kind Of applause, from the
time Raspberry Jim Is. Il. Dudley an
nounced his desire 70 shave the President
until his ambition had been realized
The performance went off with dash
and q vim that was due in no small part

CAYNOR DEFENDS CHARTER.
Says Opposition to Mayors En-
Iarged Veto Is Baseless.
HIS HEALTH BAD ALL WINTER
Denounces Other Criticisms in a
Letter Made Public by Com
missioner Andrews.

William :. Andrews, Commissioner Of
Records. Yesterday made public letter he
had received from the Mayor in connection
with the opposition that has risen TO the
provision that gives the Mayor veto power
over all resolutions Of the Board OF Esti-
mate relating 70 appropriations OF money
and the granting Of franchises and provid-
ing that such resolutions may he repassed
over such veto only by twelve out Of the
sixteen votes.
Commissioner Andrews called the Mayors
attention % the fact that the WINS charter
which was signed by President McAneny
as a member of that commission. provided
that the Mayor have veto power over all
resolutions IN regard 70 appropriations and
for ten votes 10 pass such resolutions over
the veto
The Mayors letter to Commissioner An
dIews is rs follows:

out tnat II IS nothing new II Is ken

called WINS proposed charter and from
the so-called Hammond proposed charter.
as you point out. And this IS the case
with nearly everything that We read SO
mucn exaggeration about. I never asked
Tor the Mayor veto power 10 be enlarged.
The craftsmen merely took the thing as II
had been recommended for years.
BY the present law the Mayor has a veto
in respect Of franchises and contracts con-
nected herewith The enlarged veto so as
10 include purchases Of real estate and
expenditures OF city money was recon-
mended by the last two charter commits
