o - CUBAN PRESIDENT < Congressional Representa- i tive Charges He Disregard- ed Will-of Legislators, - i :' By the Associated Press. 72 THAVANA. Cuba, May 24.—Charging President Alfredo Zayas with violat- ;‘:’: ing the law by disregarding azd ca- & priciously interpreting the will of congress, Pedro Herrera Sotolongo, his campaign to align congressional | support for his proposal to force the; chief executive personally to justify| his procedure before Congress. Presentation by Representative Her- rera Sotolongo of a petition asking the president to inform congress on the steps he had taken to carry out a recent legislative act resulted in 2 spirited debate last night in the house, at the conclusion of which the liberal deputy announced his inten- tion of attempting to bring the chief executive to task for his alleged dia- regard of the legislative branch of the government. The petition asked: “On what legal grounds does the , Dresident base his action In not com- plying with the law recently enacted by Congress ceding certain lands in Havapa for & hospital for tubercular children. to be known as the Maria Jaen Hospital, but, on the other hand, ceding by decrge other lands situated in the town of Marianao for this purpose.” During the resultant dfbate En- rique Recio, leader of the minority liberal party, declared that faction would vote approval for the petition, but the majority leaders declined to commit their party. Demand for a Toll call and the discovery of a lack of quorum prevented a vote on the motion N Tn a message read prior to the presentation of the, request for in- formation, President Zayas informed | congress that the land it had voted | situated near the ;;',munl represntative, has continued a hospital i a plot near Camp Columbia, in Marl- anso. Tbe hospital is sponsored by the wife of the president and has been given her maiden name. The corner stone was laid by the presi- dent on_Independence day, May 20. with elaborate céremonies. —_— GIVEN PRICELESS RUGS. Metropolitan Now Has Finest Col- lection in Entire World. NEW YORK.
