ASKHERD'SPLAGE FORMISS ANTHONY Women’s Party Members Would Have Her Likeness on Mt. Rushmore. B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 14—The first woman voter in the United States —her ballot was not counted and she Was arrested for casting it—was nom- inated today for an honored place on the Nation's mountain monument to its foremost heroes. The face of Susan B. Anthony| should be added to the revered com- pany of Washington, Jefferson, Lin- coln and Theodore Roosevelt, sr., on the rock cliff face of Mount Rush- more, in South Dakota’s Black Hills, declared a resolution presented to the biennial convention of the Na- tional Women's party. Decrying “discrimination” which thus far has excluded a woman's pro- | file from the lofty memorial, the committee report which embodied the proposal called for immediate action. Certain of Approval. The resolution, which party leaders said was certain of approval tomor- row, was offered within a few days of the sixty-sixth anniversary of Susan Anthony’s arrest for casting a vote in a presidential election. | Long an advocate of equality for| the sexes, the Massachusetts crusader | dropped her ballot in the box on No- vember 18, 1872, in a deliberate test of the fourteenth amendment to the ' Plaque Hon United States Constitution. She contended the amendment'’s guarantee against violation of citi- venship rights applied to women as well as to Negroes. Miss Anthony wanted to carry the fight to the United States Supreme Court but she defeated her own ends | by accepting advice of her lawyer and | posting bond to keep out of jail. The: bond prevented an appeal. | For her vote, she was fined, but she | never paid. 48 Years Before Legal Vote. It was 48 vears before another woman cast her vote—this time le-| gally under the seventeenth nmend-} ment. In the 16 years since then,| the feminine electorate has made it~ | self heard more and more distinct Very ciose to half of the landslide | vote that returned President Roose-| velt to the White House was cast by | women, the women's party leaders | said. To the convention opening today eame word that the equal rights movement eould depend on the sup- port of a more modern heroine than Busan Anthony—Amelia Earhart, the | flier. “Women still stand victims of re- strictive class legislation and of con- flicting interpretation of statute,” Miss Earhart said in a telegram. “To clear the situation their rights must be made theirs by definition that is by eonstitutional guarantee.” DR.

This year for the first time the so- | cial settlement at 470 N street south-. west was listed on the pledge card | under the “B’s,” when in the past| it was listed under the “N’'s.” Sub- scribers long acquainted with the work of the charity questioned the apparent omission of *“Neighborhood House.” The answer is that the settlement will remain under the Community Chest, and has been a member agency since the Chest was organized. Plaque Is Installed. A bronze plaque inscribed as fol- lows was installed beside the front door of the settlement house on No- vember 5, the thirty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the charity: “Barney Neighborhood House, So-| cial and Industrial Settlement. In| Memory of Alice Pike Barney. Found- ed November 5, 1901.” A donation for the purchase of | the memorial plaque was made last Summer by the late Mrs. Barney's| daughter, Mme. Laura Dreyfus-Bar- ney of Paris, France, philantropist, educator and lecturer, who plans to resume her residence in Washington in January.
