to say whether we should go to war
or remain at peace? Why should we
not have the right to participate In
the councils of the Government to de-
termine whether our sons snail pc
taken from our homes to be oHered
as a sacrifice in contests as to which
we have had no say? To none OF these
questions can a satisfactory answer
be given. The very theory OF the GOV
ernment Is that we were born free
and equal. The American colonists IN
the bill of rights proclaimed to the
British government, through formal
resolution, THAT the foundation OF
English liberty, and of all free govern
ment, Is q right in the people to par.
ticipate In their legislative councils.
This was followed by the Declaration
Of Independence.
While it will be observed that the
declaration declares that governments
derive their just powers from the con
sent of the governed, that condltlon
does not exist in the District or Co
lumbia.
Ask No Change in Local Government.
AS we ask no change in the local
form of government, no sound objec
ton can be advanced for refusal TO
enact into law and submit TO the
States the Dyer resolution. our popu-
lation justifies 1t, the amount OF taxes
paid in support of the Federal Gov
ernment more than Justi1es II. Tne
character and education of our people,
their loyalty and support of the Gov
ernment through Liberty loans and
contribution of man power in the
defense of the Nation, should con-
strain Congress without hesitation to
enact into law this resolution and
grant to us the full rights of citizen
ship, and with a representation in
both houses of Congress equal to that
granted to the several States.
'In all justice and fairness, there
should be no place In the United
States, of all Nations, where it can
be said that any of its people are sub
ject to taxation without representa-
ton.
"Our people will no longer remain
silent, but are now demanding through
every organization In this city that
our rights be recognized. In the
language Of the resolution adopted by
the citizens Of Alexandria, in 1886 at
the time of the retrocession to Vir
ginia of the part of the District
granted TO the Federal Government;
I'VE cherish the highest hopes and
have the utmost confidence, that the
Congress Of the United States will
break the political shackles which
have so long bound us, and again
elevate us to the rights and privi-
leges of free men by granting" not
retrocession with relief as requested
by them in that resolution, but the
full rights guaranteed to every Amer
lean citizen"

SPEEDING Of WAN
TRIAL IS BLOCKED
Gordon Refuses Overture by
Defense Attorneys to Short
en- Proceedings.

United States Attorney Peyton Cor
don and Assistant United States At
torney George Horning. jr., today de-
clined an offer of Attorneys Wilton j.
Lambert and Rudolph II. Yeatr an TO
shorten the third trial OF Ziang Sun
Wan. the Chinese student who is
charged with murder in the first de.
gree in connection with the killing OF
Ben Sen WI, an undersecretary at
the Chinese Educational Mission, IN
1919
Counsel for the defense suggested
they were willing to stipulate that the
evidence of a China man given at the
first trial be read from the record OF
that trial, instead OF having Bolitha J.
Laws. former assistant United States
attorney, who was associate prose
cutor at the first trial. recite his reCol-
lection of the testimony. The witness
is not available now.
The offer was followed by a discus
sion at the bench, counsel for the de-
fense appearing to urge that time
would be saved by adopting their sug.
gestion, and Government counsel ln-
sisting on presenting the case accord
ing to their own ideas and in the way
it had been prepared.
Mr.. Laws then proceeded 10 n;-o-
rate the evidence given at the former
trial, which took place during Dece.2-
Der, 1919, and January, 1920, by the
absent witness, as he recalled il.
Justice Hoehling has adopted new
court hours during the trial in a hope
to expedite the case. The morning
session will convene at $50 O'Clock
instead Of the usual court hour of ..
and sessions will continue until 3 a
o'clock, a half hour beyond the usual
time of adjournment.

LEGION POST HITS
BLANT0N'S ATTACK
Goes on Record Protesting 0bjec-
ton to Funeral Cost.
ing $10S.50.

After a spirited debate, Costello Post
of the American Legion at a meeting
in the District Building last night
spread on its records a denunciation
of Representative Blanton's act in
connecting William F. Franklin, adju-
tant of the post, in an alleged trans
action with Commissioner Fenning,
whereby a funeral for a drowned eX-
service man whose body was recover
ed from the Tidal Basin was held at
an expense of $10S.50 to the Govern
ment in lieu of $50.
Mr.. Franklin admitted that there
had been such case. He declared
that the expenses of the funeral were
no more than were justified by the
fact that the eX-service man at the
time had defended this country in the
military forces, and he declared that
the action was not taken In opposition
to the Veterans Bureau wishes, but
before the red tape of the Govern
ment Bureau had been unwound euff1-
ciently for that bureau to know of 1t
at ALL"
There can be $50 funerals" Frank
lin said But they're about as cheap a
funeral as can be had, and why should
any American quibble as to the cost
of the final tribute to be paid to
man who has been promised Dy tnlS
government that in event of death un'
der certain circumstances his body
will be laid away by the Government"
Interjecting, John Murphy. member
of the post, stated:
II was present at one OF the $52
funerals of which Mr.. Blanton spoke
in that article of impeachment, and
Mr.. Blanton was present also. The
occasion was the funeral Of a resident
of Texas in the next congressional
district to Mr.. Blanton's. And when
the pail bearers went to lift the
coffin, the handles fell off. That's the
kind of a funeral the $52 funerals
are"
On motion Of Past Post Comdr.
Charles Kohen, the post went on
record as unqualif1edly supporting
Adjt. Franklin in his acts with rela'
ton to the burial of former service
men and at the same time denounc-
ing the attack upon Franklin made
by Mr.. Blanton.
The post took no notice OF the i'm
peachment proceedings insofar as
Commissioner Fenning was concerned.
A motion to place the post on per
manent record as favoring modifica-
ton OF the Volstead law to permit
light wines and beer was passed un-
animously.

CAMPAIGN is PLANNED
TO STIR Electorate
Civic Federation Will Urge Voters
in 500 Cities to Use
Ballot.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Plans for
an intensive campaign to awaken citi-
zens to the necessity of exercising
their right to the ballot were outlined
at a heeting yesterday Of the execu-
tive committee of the department on
political education of the National
Civic Federation.
Conferences will be called In the 500
cities with more than 10000 popula-
ton, at which all civic organizations
will be represented. Detailed plans
for arousing the local electorate, as
we'll as instituting courses in the pub
lie schools to instruct future voters in
their responsibilities, will be made at
these conferences.
Elihu Root. honorary chairman Of
the department of political education,
who presided, declared the present die
tatorship in Italy was a direct out
growth Of failure by citizens to exer-
else the franchise. He warned that
conditions in the United States, with
only half of those entitled to vote
taking part in elections, unless check
ed, would inevitably lead to govern
ment by organized bloc minorities.
