OPPOSE V0TELESS
D. c. DELEGATE
North Washington Citizens
Declare for Genuine Ma
tionaI Representation.
RAP SENATE BILL PLAN
Association Approves Commission
ers' Stand in Wharf Controversy.
Fire Prevention Week Indorsed.

Emphatically disappearing the Sem
ate bill to authorize a voteless dele
gate to Congress from the District of
Columbia, the North Washington Citi-
zens' Association, at a meeting last
night at the United Brethren Church.
reiterated its declaration in favor of
national representation for the Dis
trict and against a "voteless, i'm
potent delegate"
Washington Topham called the at
tent1on of the association to a Sem
ate bill creating such a delegate,
which will come up before the Dis
trict committee shortly. and on his
motion the association declared itself
against anything else than national
representation and privileges Of citi-
Zens in the federal courts. The mo-
ton was passed unanimously. Mr..
Topham said the voteless delegate
was exactly what the District did
not want.
Urges Repeal of BOrland Law.
Repeal of the Borland law which
assesses half the cost of street i'm
provements against owners Of abut-
ting property was urged by the as
sociation on motion of Mr.. Topham.
The author of the motion said many
residents have to pay part of the cost
of street improvements and do not
get any direct benefit from their out
lay of money.
The associa tion backed up the stand
of the District Commissioners in
asking the J. Maury Dove Company
to vacate its leased property an
Water street, on motion of w. w.
Rissinger. President Mayors explained
that in asking the Dove company to
vacate the wharves now leased by
it the Commissioners had no inten-
tion of reducing Water-borne COM
merce to the District, nor to in
crease the price of wood, but that
they thought the Dove company
should find some other way to store
its wood than on public property.
IndOrses Fire Prevention Week.
The association voted to lend every
cooperation to the District fire de-
partment in observing Fire Preven
tion week October 9-15. Taking of
transfers by motormen at congested
points on street car lines to ena BILE
entrance at both ends of street cars
was suggested by o. W.. Nenck.
Mr. Mayors announced the annual
nomination of officers would be held
at the next meeting, and appointed
the following members of the nomi-
mating committee: Harry F. Patter-
son, w w. Rissinger, Frank r.
Wheat ter, John w. Adams and ]. D.

WORLD BREAD CROP
SHOWS INCREASE
Total of 157,000,00O More
Bushels of Wheat Than in
1920 Indicated.

The worlds bread crops came to
abundant fruition, despite the phe-
nomenal heat accumulation which
marked weather conditions all over
the northern hemisphere, resulting in
erratic outputs of other crops, ac-
cording to summaries compiled for
and by the Department of Agricul-
ture.
The world in 1921, up to September
so. it was indicated. would have a
total wheat crop 157,oCo,0OO bushels
greater than in 1920.
By another freak, fruit crops, al
most in a worldwide sense, met
havoc from cold in a season which
has set new records everywhere for
solar heat. This paradox was oc-
casioned by the fact that last Feb
ruary the sun got at it's work of
normal. and trees and shrubs re-
sponded by budding out. and finally
coming into flower and bloom by
March in nearly all areas where fruit
is grown. Frosts could not be avert
ed on all the nights, however, and
duce about 100 100000 bushels of ap-
pies, against 244,OO0,00O bushels in
1920. Only the orchards of the Pacific
coast, northern New England and
northern New York escaped.
Cotton Suffers Greatly.
Cotton, however, suffered greatly.
and the Agricultural Department
experts assign the weather as per-
haps the principal cause for a so
per cent reduction in output. The
mild weather of winter and spring
gave it's famous insect enemy, the
boll-weevil, full freedom to live and
thrive. and even let him move north
many miles from previous latitudes.
Later drought and sun &c. eonsplred an 10
European fruit and subsidiary
crops were sharply reduced the de-
partment finds. although the breau-
grains survived. Their success, it
was said, was due to the fact that
they were chiefly fall-sown crops
The spring sown grains, root and
forages, including oats and barley

where. lived through but yield little.
Russia was the one exception in
northern territory. but. in terms of
statistical averages, the department
says. little grain was sown there.
Italian lemons and Grecian currants.
two of the greater commercial fruit
crops, were both found in fair con-
dition this fall.
Air Interchange Disarranged.
AS to the causes of the heat accumu-
lations. the weather bureau suggests
that the usual seasonal interchange. of
air between the polar and tropical
regions was this year badly disar-
ranged by atmospheric pressure dis
tribution. although any certainty on
the subject is hardly possible. The
barometer in "semi-permanent high,
pressure regions" over the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans was found to have
maintained higher degree than nor.
NAL, which might have had an effect
in diverting transforms to the north all
through the season.
Then the decreased snowfall of 1921
and the thinness of ice on streams and
lakes allowed solar heat. normally ex-
pended in melting and evaporation, to
be stored up, The bureau says, in HEAT
ing the soil and atmosphere. Observ-
ers are convinced that these two con-
ditions played some part in the re-

End OF Moratorium
Awaited i'm Cuba
With Little Fear
Financial Situation Expected
To Be Affected but Slight
Iy, as Two Banks Have
Asked for Liquidation

HAVANA, Cuba, June e-Expiration
OF the moratorium on June 16 will af-
feet the economic and financial situa-
tion Of Cuba slightly, if at all. it is
said in official circles here. 1t is as
serted that since January 81 last, when
the Torriente law for partial bank pay
ments was enacted, there had been
doubt as to the ability of only two
banks to weather their difficulties. Both
these banks, the Banco International
de Cuba and the Banco de Espanol,
have asked for liquidation.
Concerning the governments pro
gram for banking legislation, it is de-
clared that nothing had been decided
upon as yet either with regard to
central bank of emission, as suggested
in President Zayas's message, or other
means to restore public confidence and
meet the existing shortage in circulat-
ing medium caused by heavy with
drawals Of bank deposits.
There can be no magic cure-all for
Cuba's present difficulties" one au-
thority said, .'either through legisla-
ton or a foreign loan, and it will be
necessary for the republic to pocket
its loss and restore conditions to
normal through economical and ef-
icient management, both by govern
ment departments and private enter
priscs."
While the administration has out
lined an ambitious program, it is
pointed out that the refroms contem-
plated required deep study and care
full legislation and that during the few
weeks of its existence. the government
has been able to make nothing more
than a start in studying the problems
confronting the country.

Days Dealings in Bonds

One of The causes OF the weakness
in Liberty bonds last week, when the
price of the 1as fell to sc, new low
record, and other issues were under
pressure for time, came TO light yes
terday when it became known that The
American Sugar Refining Company had
sold between S50o,o00 and $1,ooo,0oo of
the government bonds. The sale was
made early last week, the company dis
posing of a part of it's Treasury hold
ings of Liberties to raise cash. At the
end of last year the company held, &C
cording to its balance sheet, Sl4,371,9 ,9s9
of Liberty issues. Investment bankers
in talking yesterday Of this operation,
and it's effect upon Liberty bonds said
the market is extremely narrow in the
government issues 50 that comparative
ly small transactions result IN rather
wide fluctuations. 1t was asserted that
under existing market conditions in the
Liberties it requires extremely adrolt
handling Of orders to prevent undue
price swings. One of the explanations
Of this situation is the lack of interest
in ine market.

The State of New York may adopt
the policy of North Dakota in going
direct to investors with its bonds. The
fact that Wall Street banking houses
are reluctant to bid for the S1o,oo0ooo

sdered
Attorney General Charles D, Newton

the problem. He conferred with State
Comptroller James A. Wendell over the

for tomorrow in Albany to discuss
the bond issue again. Several methods
of disposing of the bonds, which are
disliked by New York bankers on the

bonds directly was under eonsdera-
tion, but added that those in charge
of the safe had reached no decision and
