"Woodrow's father. Joseph Wilson,
and my father, Henry Wilson. were
brothers-sons of Judge James Will

born at Staunton, Va, and ! at Co.

ages Of about z and 10 years. Uncle

were not being kept according to the
bylaws.
Mr.. Shepard declared he was at
tempting TO prevent "stuffing" Of the
rolls. which he said was done at the
Boston convention two years ago,
when Mrs. Ella Flagg Young Of Chi
cago was elected president.
Mrs. Young told the directors that If
the association adopted Mr. Shepard's
