In 1915 loan funds to (he amount of
$1,800,000 were set aside for the con
struction of an art museum. The work
of obtaining plans vrns undertaken by
the Kalrmount Park Commission and the
Art Jury. Architects from here and
abroad were employed nnd finally plans
wero tentatively npproved and a plaster ,
cast made and exhibited In the wooden
building in tho courtyard of City Hall. '
The complete cast was viewed by thou
sands before Us final removal.
I Constant changing of the plans has
prevented any proposals for estimates,
and estimates of cost based on archi-
' tccts' drawings run far In excess of the
remainder of $1,716,000 available. Ef
forts are being made to have contracts

First Drafted by Susan R. Anthony in 1875 Women Lone Have
Sought Right to Vote Militancy Marks

The movcmint for tho ndoptlon of a
Federal ninendment enfranchising wom
en wns crystallised fortyfour years
ago when the first draft In Its pres
ent form was made by Susan D. An
thony. Slhce tho amendment, providing that
"the rights of cltlnens of the United
Slates to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the I'nlted States or by
any S'lnto on account of sex," was first
Introduced In Congress In January, 1878
By Senator .Snrgennt, of California, tho
KUgrago movement continued to gain
strength. More than thirty times tho
intnstlre has been brought before the
Senate nnd It has been reported a dozen
tltlUH.
IlrM Voted I'lion In JS87
Tho amendment wns first voted upon
In tho Wcnato In 1887, when sixteen
Senators voted In Its fnvor nnd thirty
four rujectcd It. Tho next vote taken
In the Suiatc wns In 1911 when the
vote was thirty-five years, nnd thirty
four noys, falling by eleven votes. On
October 1, 1918, the Senate ugaln voted
on tho resolution, casting fifty-three
otes for nnd thirty-ono against, less
than two-thirds majority.
The House In 1915 defeated tho
amendment, the vote being 201 to 174.
On January 10, 1918, the House passed
the nmendmint, 274 to 13C, with not a
ingle vote to spare above the required
two-thirds by the Constitution.
Voted In Clfloiiliil Times
While the woman suffrage movement
took di finite form with tho drafting ot
the amendment In 1875, the detunnd of
women for votes In the- New World ex
tends back to the Colonial period, when
voted under several Colonial govern-
llHtllS.
At tho time of tho American Revolu
tion, women demanded to bo Included In
the (lovtrnmciit. Abigail Adams wiuiu
to her husband, John Adams. "If women
nre not represented In this new republic,
there will be another revolution."
Krom tho revolution to 1848 women
ngltuted for suffrage by mietlngs, nnd
circulation of petitions. In 1818 the
Woman's ltlghts Convention nt Seneco
Kails, N. Y., was arranged by Lucretia
Mott nnd Kllzabcth Only Stanton ns the
llrst big suffrage demonstration In this
country.

were made to huw State laws altered to
Include women. Susan I). Anthony be
came a leader I mho movement for
political freedom.
During the Civil War. In spite of Miss
Anthony's efforts nnd protests, suf
fragists were prevailed upon to givu
thdr work by the promise of men in
Congress that "when the war was over,
Justice wolud be done them." At tho
close of the Civil War Miss Anthony
founded a woman's magazine called,
The llevolutlon, In contrast with tho
"Ladles Uooks" and "Hosebuds" of tho
day. For five years suffragists attempt
id to secure nn Interpretation of the
fourteenth' nnd fifteenth amendments
that would permit women to vote.
In 1872 Miss Anthony made the test
of voting nt the pools. She was ar
rested, refused to pay her fine, but was
never Jailed. Her step was the drafting
of tho amendment In 1875, which wnB

nioomsburr, P.. Feb. 10 A memo
rial service to the. late Throdtra Itnnu.
velt was held In the First Methodist
tfpltcopai vmrcu nef-fl jal night with I
M overflow audience. The Hey. Dr.fHk
Efforts
frago wns debated In the fc'ennto for tho
first time slnco 1887.
Form Congressional Union
Tho Congressional Union became n
separate organltntlon. with the sole aim
of securing tho passage of the Federal 1
siinTsgo amendment. It ndopted the
policy of holding tho party In power
responsible through tho political power
already In tho hands of western women;
Uccauso tho amendment had not been
reported out In the House a nation-wide
demonstration, consisting of mass-meetings
nnd parades all over the country,
wns held on May 2, 1914. Suffrage wns
reported out In tho House tho following
week ,for the first tlmo since 1894. A
campaign wns conducted In suffrage
States urging women voters not to give
their votes to candidates of the Demo
cratic party, which ns the party In
power was held responsible for the fail
ure of Congress to pass the suffrage
amendment. Of the forty-three Demo
cratic candidates only twenty-three
were elected.
In 1915 tho first woman voter's con
vention held nt Pnnnmrt-Pnclflc Kxposl
tlon. Delegates wero sent ncross the
continent by nulomoblle with a messngo
for the President. In 1916 a fcuffrngo
special toured tho West preparing the
way for the organization of tho Na
tional Woman's party at Chicago, which
adopted single-plunk suffrage for
women. After this convention suffrage
planks were Included In the platforms
of nil political parties.
Picket White House
' In 1917, from January until Novem
ber, suffrnge pickets first stood at the
gates of tho White House In order to
call attention to tho fact that the Presi
dent, ns leader of the party In power,
wns responsible for lack of action on
tho suffrage amendment. Ticketing has
slnco continued nnd the militants have
r sorted to burning President Wilson's
speeches nnd other practices, for which
many. Including Phlladelphlans, have
frequently been arrested nnd Jailed.
President Wilson In 1917 declared for
suffrage as a war measure. In answer to
a messago from French women delivered
by Mrs. Cntt.
Demonstrations nt Washington
ngnlnst tho President for failure to
bring about the passage of tho Anthony
amendment began In Washington on Au
gust C, 1917, nnd continued during 1918
and the present year, resulting In fre
quent disturbances nnd numerous ar
rests. On many occasions the suffra
gists wero Jailed, serving sentences
upon their refusal to pay fines.
HulTrage In Fifteen States

LABOR'S HANDS TIED
ON "DRY" LAW STRIKE
'
I Federation of Labor Would
Have to Approve, and It
. Is Powerless
Italtlmore. Feb. 10. While a large
proportion of members of the unions
affiliated with tho American-Federation
of Labor nro opposed to prohibi
tion, no one has the power to strike
in protest against Its enforcement un
less It has tho approval of tho Interna- '
tlonal organization, according to John
H. Ferguson, president of the Mary
land Federation of Labor, Whether
Baltimore labor will take any such
action remains to be seen, Mr, Fer
guson said that there Is muoh sentiment
In favor of a "prohibition strike" In this
city, but whether It will crystallite can
not yet bo foretold. He ndded thnt,
neither the American Federation of
Labor nor, for that matter, any other
labor federation has tho power to call ,
such n strike I
Nor will any action in this matter
be taken by tho organizations connect- I
ed with the Building Trades Council, ,
according to Thomas P. O'Rourke, Its
president. Mr. O'Rourke declared that
while the vast majority of the men
connected with tho council are opposed
to prohibition, they nre contemplating
no radical step as a protest ugalnst
the enforcement of the amendment.

yes,
Twenty-four Democrats voted for tne
resolution and eighteen against; thirty
oho Republicans supported the resolu
t on and eleven opposed It.
While only eighty-four of tho ninety
six .Senators voted, when the flairs' ar
ranged by tho absentees were nnnounced
It wns shown that slxty-thrco were In
favor of tho nmendment nnd thirty
two against, ns shown above.
If the full membership had voted In
stead of the tvvolvo absentees arranging
pairs, tho result would havo been the
same one short of the two-thirds neccs
sary to carry tho amendment.
Because of the two-thlrda required
for adoption, two advocates of tho reso
lution wero paired against one oppo
nent. Immediately after the vote leaders of
women's organizations nnnounced 'that
tho fight would be carried on In the
next Congrtss, In which the Republi
cans will hold both Senate and House,
nnd which, friends of the resolution be
lieve, nro certain to adopt a new meas
ure. Replying to an Inquiry by Senator
Williams, of Mississippi, prior to the
vote on tho nmendment, the chair nn
nounced that Inasmuch as the resolu
tion was up for passage on third read
ing, it was not subject to amendment
except by usanlmous consent. "When the
resolution wns up for consideration last
fall tho Mississippi Senntor sought to

sions, but his ndmendment was defeat
ed. Karneil HlghtSnys Pollock
In explaining hlsfdeclslon to support
the resolution, Sehator Pollock, of Soiith
Carolina, Democrat, declared the wotfen
hnd won the right to vote before tho
war and had doubly corned It by their
"magnificent spirit of patriotism" in the
war.
"The argument tnnt this Is n m'ntter
for action by the States nnd that to
pass this resolution Is a violation of
States' rights Is not n reason, but nn
excuse on the part of many for oppos
ing mis resolution, and a very poor ex
cuso nt that. When a respectnhlo por
tion of the American peoulo ask that
the question of amending tho Constitu
tion he submitted to the Slates for their
approval or disapproval. It is a denial
ot States' rights to rcfuso to let the
States through their Legislatures act."
lleplylng to nrguments of southern
opponents of tho resolution thnt It would
increase the negro vote, Senator Pollock
said:
"I say here today that I havo confi
dence In tho white peop'e of America
Wood Is thicker than water.
"Kfforts may be made by certain pdl

Dr. R. Tait McKenzie Refutes
Statement That Fifth Warder
Makes Better .Fighter
Ilcfutatlon of the statement that Fifth
Ward men make better soldiers than do
college men, was made today by Dr. R.
Tnlt McKenzie,. sculptor, and former
director of physical education nt the
University of Pennsylvania.
"Utterences to the contrary are un
fair to college men," said Doctor Mc
Kenzie. He added, "A good man who
goes Into battle with n high sense of
duty is every Inch ns good a fighter as
the man who has been accustomed to
street fights all his life."
Doctor McKenzle's reply was In
answer to a statement made by Roy
Delaplalne, at a recent session of the
Philadelphia Physical Education So
ciety . Mr. Delaplalne, who hnd charge
of n .machlne-gun battalion overseas,
said that, In his opinion, the Fifth Ward
men were the better fighters. His bat
talion wan made up of a combination
of both types of men.
"Although I found college men t-kllled
In the arts of physical exercise and In
baseball and football, I discovered also
that the Fifth Warders had moro real
courage In the same of war," Mr. Dela
plalne said.
This statement Doctor McKenzie
characterized as "somewhat unfair." He
said he had talked with hundreds of sol
diers on the battlefields of France, who
were utterly Indifferent ns to what hap
pened to them Doctor McKenzie went
nbroad during the early days of the war.
He served overseas helping to solve
problems of the Canadian Convalescent
Hospital system.
"It Is hard to make a general stnte
nient In A case like this," ho said. "On
one hand you have the men who goes
Into action with a high sense ef duty,
and on tho other you have the type that
ban known fighting all his life. And
after all there Is llttlo difference be
tw'een rnpplng a citizen over the head
with a blackjack and' crocking n Ger
man In a trench."
As an example of'the college man who
was oblivious to hta personal safety dur
ing battle ho cited Ihe case vt tho late
Major M. Franklin Pepper, son of a for
mer provost of the university, nnd who
wns killed In action.
"Just before Major Pepper went over-1
seas," he said, "ho had a conversation
with an old friend of mine. The friend ,
later said to me 'that man will not
come back.' I told him so and he nn
swered, 'Well, what does It matter; tho
cause Is Just-' I
"There arc thousands of good men
who feel the same way. There is scarce
ly an Kngllsh family of position In the
ICmpIro that has not sacrificed its sons.
These sons went into action full of energy
nnd belief In the Justice of their ramn
They died gloriously fighting fcT a bo-
lief nnd nn Idenl." I
Doctor McKenzie cited tho late Colo-'
nel Roosevelt as ono of this type. "Hnd
ho been permitted to gp," he said, "ho'
never would have come bnck to America.
He gavo his sons and was willing to
glvo himself. And Colonel Roosevelt
wai tho sort of man-who always would
have been on the front line. That la
whero thousands of good men died." I
