MEND|ETA QUITS
AS CUBAN CHIEF
Political Situation Freshly
Confused; Vinagres Is
Named President.
Copyright. 1885, by United Press


HAVANA, Dec. 11-Cuba's trou-
blous political situation was freshly
confused today when Carlos Mendi-
eta resigned as provisional president
because of a dispute regarding reg
ulations for electing a constitutional
president.
The cabinet accepted the resigna-
ton and named Jose A. Barnet Y
Vinagres. II, secretary of state, his
successor.
The cabinet then offered Vina-
gres its resignation. He refused to
accept. 1t was arranged that he
would take the oath of office at
noon. The capital was quiet and
conditions were normal.
Weeks of confusion were fore
seen before there could be another
real effort to end q period of polit-
ical chaos that has endured since
Gerardo Machado was overthrown
in August, 1898.

tobacco, fabricated leather, paper
converters and other businesses ex-

Veteran Backs Fish
Bonus Proposal
To the Editor Of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
The veterans feel that the lead
ers of the bonus movement in
Congress, while doing nobly in
their behalf for a time, quit on
them. The special" interests and
the Administration did not quit
and there was only a difference
of eight votes necessary to over.
ride the veto. This proves the
balance of power the special"
interests hold over Congress in
regard to any legislation.
There Is not a veteran In the
country whose heart is not filled
with revenge against the Admin
istration. The Administration
means the President (no disre-
spect to the office, Senators
Harrison and Robinson and Post
master General Farley.
But to think that one man
woul,. put himself in the way of
fifteen million veterans families
and relatives receiving the benefit
of a bonus during these terrible
times is unbelievable. There Is no
possible chance of the President
being reelected. If the Democrats
wish to win we would suggest
Senator TIL mas or Senator
Wheeler. But although we are a
democracy we firmly believe the
next President will be Senator
Borah. He is neither a Democrat,
Republican or politician, but a
true statesman.

Turner has been promised the open

has been backed against the wall by
the weather and is more or less at
