Stand ing in tne way of the plan Is the fact that the house she had lived and worked In so long was bought 10 years ago by a Washington merchant who Mrs. Johnson says snows no inclination to resell. Saved from Eviction Just before the house was sold, and she faced eviction proceed ings, Mrs. Johnson In a mighty huff broke or marred many of tne worm oi sculpture on which she had spent much of her life.

Mrs. Meta Grace Keebler, with whom she now lives, says she hopes people will forget the Inci dent though It caused a terrific furore at the time.

"It was her desolate cry against the fact that she had worked and done so much for hu manity, and humanity was allow ing her to be forgotten and evicted from her home." The statue of the three suf frage leaders In the Capitol was purchased some years ago by the National Woman's Party.

But God made them that way, so they're not to be blamed." Mrs. Johnson is now spending her davs catalog ing all her manuscripts and memoirs. "I am satisfied that I have done the best I could. I have always aimed at that motto: Per- lectlon at any price, she said. MONEY SUITS FILED F. W. CooDer has filed suit In Circuit Court against W. H. Walker, C. H. Smith and D. J.
