THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, GOLD COAST TRAGEDY BLAMED TO HUSBAND Nationality Issue to Be Important Feature of National Woman’s Party Biennial—Democratic Women to Hear Ex-Governor Cooper—Exhibit Opens. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. N international scope and general in- terest, the most significant sessions of the biennial convention of the . National Woman’s Party to be held in Washington December 9, inclu- sive, will be those on Saturday at the garden hut of the Grace Dodge Hotel, ‘when the feminists will take action on & proj program of international | work for equal rights, including the presentation of recommendations con- cerning nationality, which is to be one | of the three topics coming up before ‘The Hague Conference on Codification | of World Law next March. | Outstanding international orpnizl»‘ tions of women already have gone on | record in support of the principle of na- | tionality of women, independent of mar- | , and are preparing proposals to | submit to the international jurists. It .is expected that the National Woman's party at its Saturday sessions will vote | to cast its lot officially with this group and will decide upon the presentation of | a draft convention to The Hague Con- ference to the effect that laws govern- ing nationality shall not be based upon | sex. | Among the organizations working toward this end are the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, made up of member | organizations of 43 countries; the In-| ternational Council of Women and the International Association of University Women. The Inter-American Commis- sion of Women has framed a more sweeping and far-reaching proposal to effect that in the laws on nationality there shall be no distinction because of | sex. Miss Doris Stevens, chairman of the Woman's Party committee on interna- tional action, will read her report on the research work done by her committee | in preparing facts relating to the in- | equalities in present laws regarding women's nationality and the recém- mendations proposed for presentation to ‘The Hague conference, designed to change these laws. ‘The Woman'’s Party recommendations probably will confine themselves to thr‘ portion of international law affecting | the citizenship of women as affected by | marriage. According to Miss Emma | ‘Wold, chairman of the nationality com- mittee of the Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia, and a prom- inent member of the Woman's Party, the women of her organization feel that the logical position of the United States, in view of its leadership and the demand | of its women, is to stand by the spirit | of the Cable act. To this end, the women both of the Bar Association and | of the Woman's Party group are ex- pected to urge upon the President of the United States and the delegates ap- pointed by him to represent the United | States at The Hague support of their | recommendations that marriage sh-ll| not affect nationality and that persons | ‘who have lost their nationality by mar- | rizge in gain it “Women in every field of activity, professional, social, domestic, are thus drawn into the ranks of those com- mitted to the principle of nationality of women, independent of marriag said Miss Wold. “Although women's associations have not been invited to submit their views at The Hague con- ference, nevertheless their proposals as expressions of the views of women on a subject directly affecting themselves cannot fail to command respect, since they are based on a careful study of the present situation both as to the| laws and their effects.” ‘The sessions on international actlvi- ties next Saturday will be followed by ;{n (hilkl‘nzllonll dinner at the Willard otel. ner will be Ambassador Ferrara of Cuba. Senator Capper, Doris Stevens, chair- man of the Inter-America Commission of Women: Olive Stott Gabriel, presi- dent of the National Association of Women Lawyers, and Drew Pearson, | ‘Washington correspondent of the Bal- t;g\m’e Sun. Mrs. Will Irwin will pre- side. Other features of the convention will be a reception at the new headquarters of the organization, to be known as Alva Belmont House, in honor of Mrs. ©O. H. P. Belmont, the national presi- dent, and a memorial meeting in honor of Mrs. Pankhurst, the British femin- ist, in the United States Capitol. Mrs, Jane Norman Smith of New * York, ‘chairman of the National Coun- cil of the Woman's Party, will preside at the first business session on Friday afternoon, at which national work is to _be the subject under consideration. The principal national undertaking of the Woman's Party is the equal rights | amendment, providing that men and | women shall have equal rights in the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction. This was first introduced in Congress by Vice President Curtis. It is sponsored the present Congress by Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota in the Senate and by Regpresentative Frederick the past shall be able to re- | Among the speakers at the dm—; amendment | i DORIS STEVENS, Chairman of the committee on interna- congressional chairman of the Woman's Party, will report at this session on thc work being done in Congress for the amendment. ~Chairmen of the Statc tranches of the Woman's Party will re- port on the work being done in their States.

His subject will be “Decentralization of Government.” The club will give its usual weekly Thursday evening dinner on December 5 at 7:30 o'clock. The Woman's National Democratic Club will have a formal opening of an exhibition of paintings and etchings by Theo F. Morgan December 5 at $ o'clock, when Mr. Morgan will give a short explanatory talk on the pictures. Invitations have been sent out for this | occasion, but the public will be wel- comed. The exhibition will be on view until December 30. Among the paintings shown will be those which have won prizes in the last year, including the oné which was awarded the gold medal in the international Davis competition or the most meritorious painting in the exhibition regardless of class.. The other picture won honorable mention in the same competition. Another work of this artist won hon- orable mention in an international competition held in Utah, the picture having been bought for the Eastern High School in Salt Lake City. An outstanding feature of the exhi- hition will be a lovely example of Mr. Morgan's batik work, a large panel, a pictorial of Japanese art similar to the old woven tapestries. The subiect is the Durbar in India, showing the pa- geant of the coronation ot tne Engisn ruler of India. The coloring is that of the rich g geousness of the Orient with a ba zround suggesting citadels, mosq and a sky of the peculiar dull bl of the tropics. It is partially scree by the decorative cypress peculiar to that country. In the foreground fis the parade, with elephants and camels, royalty with brilliant regalia, banners, dancing men, soldiers, flashing swords. flower venders, water carriers an gay, hilarious throng.

But such suggestions deceive nobody. “The crash has produced the largest embezzlement in American history. In Flint, Mich., ten clerks of the Union Industrial Bank are charged with the theft of more than 700,000 pounds ster- ling, taken to cover stock losses. Of this sum, more than £400,000 is net loss, according to auditors. “Pawnbrokers seem the only happy people in the present scene of desola- tion. Their trouble is that they have not sufficient money.

There is an up- town distributing station with 40,000 cars on its hands and little hope of getting rid of them. “There are fears that goods of all sorts, sold on the installment plan, will find their way back to the original sellers.” Other newspapers arriving with the British mails contained accounts of the stock market break quite as sensational. ‘The general impression of these articles 1s that the United States is in a bad wav financially and may require financiat assistance from Europe.
