marked the end of the first year of the legislative biennium
 One Half Each Year
 This action was made necessary by a provision in the act which specified that, as nearly as practi- cable, one half of the appropria- ton should be expended during each year of the biennium. During the interval between the date when payments from the fund were stop ped and March 3l, 1930, applica- tions for assistance continued to be received by many of the local agents, principally from prospectors in remote sections of the Territory, where announcement that the fund was depleted had not reached. Such applications were given preference when funds again became available for distribution on April l, 1880. Liquidation of claims based on these applications subsequent to April l, 1880, absorbed nearly the entire fund available for distribution dur ing the second year of the biennium for which the appropriation had been made. It thus became neceS- sary early in the year to notify local agents to receive no further applications or claims during the remainder of the biennium.
 May Cancel Requests
 Tt is possible that some pros pectors whose applications have been approved but who have not yet submitted their claims for re- imbursement, will cancel their re- quests for assistance and in that way release funds so that addition al new applications may be con- sidered for approval.
 At the end Of the fiscal year total o1 298 prospectors had receiv- ed transportation assistance from the Territory, some of whom had received aid for two or three sea- sons Of this number 54 were pros pecting in the first division, Fl in the second, 63 in the third, and 110 in the fourth. From these pros pectors I'll very good reports have been received, 28 having been sub mittcd from the first division, 43 from the second, 37 from the third and 63 from the fourth. These re- ports have already proved of value in answering inquiries from other prospectors and from mining men who were interested in sections cov- cred by some of the reports.
 Concerns Unknown Regions

YACHT MAYFLOWER
ATTRACTS NO BIDS
Presidential Craft, Held at
100000, Offered in Vain
on Third Attempt.

The Navy endeavored yesterday for
the third time to dispose of the former
presidential yacht Mayfiower by sale,
but without success. The Bureau of
Supplies and Accounts, Navy Depart
ment, waited in vain for a single bid
for the famous craft, when the zero
hour was reached at IL o'clock.
The next move is UP to Acting Secre-
tary Ernest Lee Jahncke and other high
naval ofhcials, who must decide what is
to be done now with the ship, long a
familiar landmark at the Washington
Navy Yard and now out of commission
at Philadelphia.
On October 81 the first bid for the
vessel was opened in which the Boston
Iron d Metal Co., from Baltimore.
offered $4,000. This was considered
unsatisfactory by the naval authorities,
who again opened bids for the May
flower on December Z.
Five concerns, of which the Florida
railroad d Navigation Corporation of
Tampa, Fla, Offering $51 900, was the
highest, sought to purchase the shin.
The other bidders on this occasion
were the Boston Iron a. Metal Co, of
Baltimore, which this time offered
$l5,776; Kenny q Cross of New York
City, $l7,017; william F. Carey of New
York City, $31 900, and John w. Hub
bard OF Pittsburgh, Pa, $16,250.
secretary Adams announced some
time ago, at a press conference. that

pie Of the District. While no opponent
comes into the open and voices opposi-
tlon, yet there is much whispering.
Certainly, it cannot be said there is
such degree of unanimity and en-
thusiaSm as properly to impress the
Congress. Senators and Representa-
tives hear negative comments in their
social contact with business men.
Doubts are covertly expressed about the
capacity of the voters to select their
representatives in the Congress. Much
talk is heard about the confusion and
excitement and social disruption at
tendant upon elections. Others express
great concern about the capacity of the
colored citizen to vote and his rela-
tionship TO politics and elections TN
doubtedly, an ancient prejudice was
engendered in the past against any sort
OF exercise of franchise by the people
OF the District which it is difficult to
eradicate
Perhaps your speaker, who was born
IN Southern State, may venture to
discuss briefly the attitude of the COL
ored voter. 1t would seem obvious that
his qualification to exercise the fran
chise in the City of washington would
be superior to that of other cities and
communities. Again, 1t must be recalled
tnat our colored citizens, according to
the 1920 census, constitute about IS
per cent OF the population of the Dis
trlct and any evils attendant up cleo
tons may be readily regulated and con-
trolled. Again, Congress will have the
power under this amendment to FIX the
quanncations OF suffrage and will, un-
oountedly, place limitations and re-
strlctlons upon the qualifications for
voting.
Should Assume Burden.
However, the basic proposition re-
mains unchanged, and that is the right
OF citizens of the District to be repre-
scented in the Congress which governs
them and which levies taxes and appro-
PIRATES the revenues. If any citizen op-
poses this proposition, he should have
the courage to express himself in the
open and give reasons for his attitude
II the District is willing to concede
that 1t Is less capable of selecting its
representatives and Senators than the
people of the respective States, they
should make the frank admission. Of
course, the exercise of free government
is burden, but one which good citi-
zens must assume. A benevolent auto
crat Will relieve the citizens of all re-
sponsibillty, but such autocracy has
been discarded among all people who
love liberty restrained by law. The
proposition that the people of the Dis
trict, with half a million population,
are entitled to be represented in the
Legislative body which governs them is
fundamental. No community in this
Republic should be deprived Of this
essential badge Of citizenship.
The Congress should pass this reso-
luton to amend the Constitution and
submit it to the States upon the as
sumption that the people of the Dis
trict are good American citizens and are
entitled to this birthright."
