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
♦as 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- j
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
United States Constitution.
She contended the amendment's
guarantee against violation of citi
senship 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 years before another
Woman cast her vote—this time le
gally under the seventeenth amend
ment. In the 16 years since then,
the feminine electorate has made it
self heard more and more distinctly.
Very close to half of the landslide
vote that returned President Roose
velt to the White House was cast by
women, the women’s party leaders
•aid.
To the convention opening today
came word that the equal rights
movement could 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 aaid in a telegram. "To clear
the situation their rights must be
made theirs by definition that is by
constitutional guarantee.”

Barney Neighborhood House
Still Among Chest Agencies
The change of name from Neigh
borhood House to Barney Neighbor
hood House In memory of a bene
factor has led many Community
Chest subscribers in the present cam
paign to the mistaken conclusion that
the settlement house is no longer in
cluded among Chest agencies.
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.
Like her mother and sister, Miss
Natalie Clifford Barney of Paris, a
poet and medalist of the French Le
gion of Honor, Mme. Dreyfus-Barney
has taken an active interest in the
affairs of the settlement house in
Washington.
The two sisters, It is understood,
will come here this Winter to divide
their time between Washington, Call
fornla and Florida, where they have
interests. Settlement workers look
forward to a renewal of their efforts
in behalf of Barney Neighborhood
House.
Visited Settlement.
Mme. Dreyfus-Bamey, whose hus
band died some years ago, last Sum
mer visited the settlement which her
mother helped to found, and Miss Bar
ney aided with Christmas plans when
she was here in 1934.
Mme. Dreyfus-Bamey operates a
large farm in southern France for
the benefit of destitute French chil
dren, and for years has been active
in international welfare and educa
tional work.
Upon Mrs. Barney's death in Los
Angeles about five years ago, she
willed the two houses now occupied
by the settlement to the corporation
which operates the charity.
Mrs. Barney acquired the two
houses early in the present century,
»nd turned them over to the welfare
! work among the under-privileged chil
| dren of the community.
In addition to her philanthropic
' work. Mrs. Barney was an artist of
considerable ability. Many of her
pictures, including life-size portraits
of her daughters, now adorn the walls
of the settlement she helped to found.
