GENERAL FERRARA
EXPRESSES VIEWS

MIAMI. Aug. General Fer
rara, Cuban secretary of state, to-
day termed as impossible" re-
ports that American Ambassador
Sumner Welles told Cuban Prssi-
dent Machado he must ask con-
gress for leave of absence that
the troubled political situation
might be settled.
General Ferrara, returning
home after attending the world
economic congress in London, left
by plane for Havana,
1t would be an odd piece of
diplomacy for an ambassador OF
any country to approach the presi-
dent or ruler of country which
he accredited, and make such de-
mands," Ferrara said.
He added, however, that media.
ton can succeed If properly handl-
ed and with some outside party
such as an American ambassador
acting as mediator. Let Cuba
alone--let her work out her own
solution of her internal problems.

eigners who inhabit the new
states 100000 square miles of

But the government hopes also
to facilitate the functioning of its

Economic League Gives
Up Idea OF New Charter

CONTINUED from Page One)
flict in legal opinions from out
standing attorneys of the state as
to whether the proposed charter
can be ratified at the November
election and become Immediately
operative and effective; and
Whereas, 1t appears inevitable
that serious legal entanglements
and confusion would follow in the
event of the adoption of the char
ter in November, and also that
the various candidates in the No
vember election would be put to
great expense and left in sus-
pense as to their status, not know
ing whether they would be permit
ted to serve even in the event of
their election; now therefore
Be 1t Resolved by the Economic
League of Key West:
1. That the Economic League
of Key West herewith abandon all
efforts to have the proposed char
ter. as passed by the recent legis-
lature, adopted at the forthcom-
ing city election in November, and
that no further efforts be made
by the league at this time to carry
the charter referendum.
2. That the league reaffirm
it's decision and firm purpose of
giving the city of Key West
better fundamental law for it's
city government through the
adoption of a charter that will
give the city the maximum of
service at minimum of cost.
8. That the president of the
league be empowered to name a
committee of three members of
this league whose duty it will be
to carefully study the question of
city government in all it's branches
and to write a new charter that
will incorporate the principles for
which this league was organized
namely. the economical, business
like administration of all govern
mental affairs in the island.
4. That the charter committee
to be named by the president be
instructed to give due considera-
ton to the matter of consolidating
the city and county governments,
and to incorporate such pro-
vision in the proposed charter if
such a plan seems feasible and
workable.
5. That the charter that, will
be written by this committee be
first submitted to a good con-
stitutional lawyer for his approval
of it's legality, and after receiving
the approval of the league, be
submitted to the legislature of
1885, with a ratifying clause that
will provide for it's adoption or

Miss Ada Milligan
Returns To City

Miss Ada Milligan returned last
night from a two months visit to
different sections of the country,
including one week in Chicago at
the Century of Progress EXPOSE
ton.
Miss Milligan left June l for
Miami and after a short stay there
went to Fort Lauderdale to at
tend the Young Peoples State
Conference.
After this she went to the
Blue Ridge Mountains district
and attended conference of the
Christian and Congregational
churches and from there to Gin
cinnati.
In the Ohio city she joined an
aunt, Miss Anna Wiehe, and they
both left at once for Chicago.
Miss Milligan says that to describe
the sights at the exposition is
hardly possible. Nothing more
stupendous in conception and ex-
ecution can be conceived and
weeks could be spent in detailing
the wonders to be seen on every
hand.
After spending the week in
Chicago she and her aunt return
ed to Cincinnati and after visit
ing at various places in that city
and the suburbs she returned
home after an exciting ten weeks

APPEAL SOUNDED
FOR OLD CLOTHING
Chest Officers and Church
Key Men Urged to Rush

An urgent plea for collection by Com
munity Chest liaison officers and church
key men of old clothing for the desti-
tute Of Washington was made last night

pointed out salvaging plant had been
established In the old Ford Building

agencies. This work is carried on under
direction Of the Federation of Women's

is chairman.
'All kinds Of clothing, including over
coats, suits, dresses, socks, undergar-
ments, shirts and hats, of all sizes and
in whatever condition, are badly need
ed" Mr. Vass said. Clothes may be
old, worn, patched and discarded, but
they can soon be remade into service
able clothes for those who are now
ragged and shivering. The District of
Columbia Laundry-Dry Cleaners own
ers Association are cleaning these
clothes when necessary free of cost.
Three means of collection have been
provided. Any fire engine house will
