SCRAP BOOKS TEL
OF SUFFRAGE RISE
First Woman’s Rights Con
vention Was Held 88
Years Ago Today.*
*7 ths Associated Press.
The women’* right* movement, vic
torious so far as the vote is concerned,
but still hammering away at the inner
citadels of politics, is 88 years old
today.
In a quaint age—suggestive of lav
ender and lace, shoulder shawls and
velvet bonnets—the Seneca Palls, N.
' Y„ women's rights convention was
held July 19 and 20. 1848.
Prom the concise, miniature-si*ed
pamphlet the convention caused to
be published, it is evident tnat tne
five women who called It could greet
thla year, when women at laat par
ticipated In formulating both party
platforms, with a calm "We told you
ao.’’
, Susan B. Anthony saved that pam
phlet for posterity. In the 34 scrap
books of suffrage source material be
| queathed by Miss Anthony to the Li
I brary of Congress, and now cherished
in the rare book room, she placed It
first, both in position and by under- 1
scored notation.
"The tiny little pamphlet report of
♦he first women's rights convention
ever held In all the world," was Su
aan's introduction of It..

Their agenda was: "To discus* the
•ocial. civil and religious condition of
women.” Their report was: "This
question was discussed through two
entire days, the first day by women
exclusively, the second day men par
ticipated."
Two principal pronouncements came
from their deliberations—'The Reso
lutions." predicated on a single pre- j
cept with 11 specific "resolved” ;
clauses, and "The Declaration of Sen- I
timents.” pointedly patterned after
that other great July document, the
Declaration of Independence.
The suffrage pioneers got down to i
.fundamentals in the first paragraph !
of their resolutions: “The great pre- i
cept of nature is conceded to b? 'that
man shall pursue his own true and
Fiibstantial happiness,’ ” and from that
the women resolved. "That such laws j

D. C. Church of 1V22 Recalled
After Star Publishes Picture
Old Police Court Building Originally
Was Erected as Place of Worship
by Local Unitarians.
__O»__ ...At. ..a U.U MAafinnc fr\r • tima in A FAftlf

of the picture of the old District Po
lice Court building, formerly the First
Unitarian Church, has resulted in the
uncovering of an interesting chapter
of the Capital's early church history.
The picture is a prized memento
of former Judge Ralph Given.
The picture, believed to be the only
one in existence of the old church
structure, was taken while it was
serving as a court house. The ex
terior, however, was unchanged from
its early days as a church, except for
the wording, "Police Court." and the
date. 1878, when it was occupied by
the court.
The First Unitarian Church, at the
northeast corner of Sixth and D
streets, was the only architectural
work, except for portions of the Cap- j
itol Building, of Charles Bulflnch
of Boston, for 12 years architect of ]
the Capitol. Presidents John Quincy j
Adams and Millard Fillmore were '
among those who worshipped in the
old church and Ralph Waldo Ener
son was among the pastors who
preached from its pulpit.
Rev. Little First Pastor.
The first pastor of the church was
Rev. Robert Little, who resigned from
the Unitarian ministry in Gains
borough, Lincolnshire. England, and
came to Washington to go into busi
ness early In the 1800s. He opened a
dry-goods and hardware store on
Pennsylvania avenue, the exact loca
tion of which now is unknown. He
net other Unitarians here and they
over the old baths on C street, easi
of Sixth street.
Bv the Summer of 1820 subscrip
tions for a church were being solicit
ed by the local Unitarians and by thi
next Spring Little had become si
actively identified with the move
ment that lie was conducting thi
services. That Fall the First Uni
tarian Church was organized, witl
Little as pastor.
The congregation employed But
finch as architect. Bulflnch. who de
signed the old State House in Boston
was appointed as architect of thi
Capitol by President Monroe to sue
ceed Latrobe. Bulflnch came here ii
1817 and held the post for 12 years
He designed and built the west en
trance to the Capitol and eompletec
other portions of the structure.
Church Completed in 1822.
The church was completed an;
dedicated on June 9, 1822. It was t
brick building with smooth plaste:
exterior finish and was of simple fern
and detail, but regarded as a fini
architectural example of the kind.
Five years later, Emerson, who ther
had been in the ministry only sij
months, preached in the church dur
ing a brief stay here on a trip to th<
South.
It Is said that the Unitarian Churct
bell was the first rhurch bell ii
Washington and was the first “public’
bell in the city, except one at thi
Capitol, which was used in the earl;
days to announce the beginning ant
ending of working hours.

Supporters of Maryland Bill

HALPINE. Md.. July 18 — Presaging
another legislative battle for local
control of airports, aponors of the
-movement in 1935 are extending their
activities in preparation for the Mary
land General Assembly’s 1937 session.
Supporters of the Montgomery
County bill, killed in committee two
years ago. have begun the organisa
tion of a State Citlsens' Aviation As
sociation that will dedicate its efforts
toward enactment of a State-wide
control measure when the lawmakers
convene in January.
Delegate Joseph A. Cantrel of
Chevy Chase, sponsor of the measure
that would have empowered the
county commissioners to license and
regulate airports ,in Montgomery,
already has assured the group he will
introduce and vigorously advocate
passage of the new proposal. It would
give the various county boards
authority to control flying fields In
their respective areas'
, Voice Numerous Complaints.
The campaign is an outgrowth of
the attempts Halpine residents have
made to restrict the activities of
planes operating from Congressional
Airport. Numerous complaints have
been voiced flfcainst pilots "stunting"
at low altitudes over neighboring
. homes and other allegedly annoying
practices.
Aroused citizens living near the
local field obtained Cantrel’s aid and
the bill designed to place the control
of flying fields in the hands of the
Montgomery County commissioners
was presented in the State Legislature
in 1935.
It met with defeat, however, when
the House . Aviation Committee de
ciarea sucn a measure wouia pave me
way for creation of 23 separate avia
tion commissions in the Maryland
counties and declined to report It out. {
Bill Failed to Satisfy.
A bill was enacted broadening the
powers of the State Aviation Commis- i
j sion, but local residents have bitterly
complained that restrictions are still
inadequate, and no steps have been
taken to correct conditions here.
Several of the complainants joined
recently in filing suit for an injunction j
restraining the use of the local field j
| on the grounds that it is a "public i
j nuisance,” but the suit has not yet:
been heard in Circuit Court.
Since that time similar protests have
been registered by people in other sec- :
tions of Maryland, and it was decided
to foster the organization of the Citi
: sens' Aviation Commission in prepara
tion for a renewed legislative light
in '37.
Call for Support.
Supporters said that "any citizen
desiring to protect property from the j
I menace of airports" is invited to Join. 1
Residents in Prince Georges and Fred
1 erick Counties, as well as in other sec
tions of Maryland, have been contacted
and had indicated they will whole
1 heartedly support the organization. j
It was also said that an effort will
be made to have the bill included in '
