been especially productive of results
for her development And on factor
in woman's progress has been SO
great as have the women's clubs of
the country. When the colleges threw
open their doors to women wonder
full step forwad was taken in civiliza-
ton. But the second great step in
herr emancipation from old and dead
conventions was perhaps even more
important-the establishment of the
woman's club.
Beginning with the church socie-
ties, the sewing clubs and the book
clubs, this movement has grown until
the other day when the Biennial was
held in New York city the number
of women was so great that it was
impossible to arrange the sessions so
that they might be attended by all
delegates who were present, and it
is probable that when next the great
Federation of Women's clubs holds
a national convention the various
branches of work will have separate
sessions, in order to care for the
great number who viii take part.
In Florida the Federation of Wo-
mems clubs numbers more than six
thousand members, and has affiliated
with it women's organizations from
every section of the state.

League, one Of the oldest women's
organizations in the city.
When Mrs. Randall one of the vice
presidents Of the state federation,
visited Pensacola in 1915 she stated
in her public address before the City
Federation of Women's Clubs that
she was amazed at the number of
such clubs int he city, and the splen-
did results obtained by them, which
were chronicled in reports made at
the reciprocity meeting which she at
tended.
The City Federation of Women's
clubs does not by any means entirely
represent the club spirit in Pensa-
cola. There are many church clubs,
social clubs, and other women's or
carnations which WELD a very wide
influence in the community life,
which have not affiliated either with
the state federation or The city fed
Grafton, but in the scope of this
article it will not be possible to give
all of these clubs, which will be taken
up In later papers on the woman's
club life of Pensacola.
The Civic League is one of the
most important and one of the oldest
women's organizations which have
engaged in public work of any char
aeter. This association is Differed by

NEGRO AUNT" GIVES.
AGE AT lO7 YEARS.
Seely Wilson Tells Census Taker
That She Has Passed The
Century Mark

A final report to show the present
census of Cape Girardeau will be made
today and filed with City Clerk r. w.
Frissell by the city's official census
taker, J. H. Wichterich, as a result of
about five weeks work in getting the
names and vital statistics about each
of the city's residents.
Mr.. Wichterich last night declared
that his final report will show popr-
lation of more than 107O0 persons
living inside the city limits of the
Cape. A large number of people who
are commonly known as Cape Girar-
deauans reside outside the city limits,
he said, and in that way the city seems
to be much larger in population.
The fact that the city is spread out
over a large area also accounts for an
impression that the population is sew
eral thousand above the 10000 mark,
Mr.. Wichterich said.
The oldest inhabitant of the Cape,
the census-taker declares, is an o1G
negro woman living at the corner of
Bellevue and Frederick streets. Her
name is "Aunt Seely Wilson and she
gave her age as 107.
The ordinance authorizing the CEN
Sus also made it mandatory upon Mr..
Wichterich to make a record of the
ages of the persons whose names nc
obtained.
"Aunt" Seely Wilson still is spry
and active as a woman two genera
tions her junior She smokes an old
cob-pipe and gets a great deal of en-
joyment from it, she told Mr.. Wien
terich.
John Brown, a son of "Aunt" Seely,
is a street sweeper on Independence
and Spanish streets. He quotes facts
and figures to show that his mother is
1O7 years old. Browns oldest brother,
he says, was Fred Hamilton, who died
II years ago. He was Is years old at
the time of his death, Brown asserts,
so that at the time of his birth his
mother was 81. Brown himself is 60.
John Osborn is another negro who
is approaching the century mark. He
is 90 and may be seen on the streets
regularly. Both John Osborn and
"Aunt" Seely Wilson say they have
lived around the Cape most of their
lives, to the best of their recollections.

NACEL SPEAKS here
AT PICNIC july z
Former Cabinet Officer Tele-
phones He Will Boost His
Friend, Judge Lamm.

Charles Nagel, a member of the
Cabinet during President Taft's adj
ministration, notified the German,
American Alliance in this city yester.
day that he would accept the invitation
to deliver an address at the organiza.
tons picnic on July 2.
This was the first reply to the 15(
invitations sent to political leaders and
other prominent Missourians two days
ago Mr.. Nagel called Capt. H. w
Bridges, a member of the invitation
committee, and informed him that he
would be here.
He used the telephone in order to
ascertain whether political speeches
would be permitted, and when inform
ed that a number of speeches on polit-
ical matters were expected, he said he
wouid make a campaign speech in
behalf of Judge Henry Lamm, one of
the Republican candidates for Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Nagel may be induced to deliver
a short talk in German while here.
He was born in Germany but came to
the United States when boy. He
has made frequent visits to Europe
since he reached his maturity.
Mr.. Nagel is recognized as one of
the ablest men in the Republican party
in the United States. He and Judge
Lamm have been friends for almost
half century, and he is one of Mr..
Lamm's strongest supporters for the
nomination.
The picnic will be held at the Old
Fairgrounds, one mile west of the city
limits, in the Blattner grove, one of
the prettiest spots in Cape Girardeau
County.
Capt. Bridges yesterday predicted
that there would be 10000 people
present. "We had fully 5000 at our
picnic last year and no effort was
made to induce people from the lower
counties to attend. With such speak
ers as Mr.. Nagel and with the event
widely advertised, l believe we will
have 10000 people present. Almost
every candidate for office in the State
has been invited to be present, and we
are expecting a large number of ac-
ceptances.

FIRST INSIDE GOT THE COT
ID. A. Glenn and Z. l.. Hope, of PuxicO,
Tell Story of Work 10 Years Ago.

When f. l.. Hope of Puxico, mer-
chant of many years experience, and
an uncle of Dir. D. D. Hope of the
Cape, stopped in the city yesterday
afternoon on his way home from the
Democratic Convention in St. Louis,
he met David A. Glenn, and the two

years ago when both were clerks in
the Leach Bros. store and slept on the
same cot.
Leach Bros. store at that time was
on the northeast corner of Themis and
Main streets, where the American
store now is located.
''The first one of US to get in at
night, copied the cot" remarked Mr..
Glenn. And each thereupOn declared
his companion slept in the cot more
often than himself. The other had TO
bunk on one of the counters.
Mr.. Hope left the Cape about the
year 10000 and has since been located
at Puxico. He is widely known in that
part of Southeast Missouri.

MAY DIE FROM INJURIES
Woman Was Standing In Frisco
Station When Knocked
Down By Tornado.

-Four men and one woman were in
juTed seriously late yesterday after
noon by a cyclone which struck Ken
nett and cut a path of destruction
through the town that caused property
damage estimated at several thousand
dollars.
The cyclone was a part of a general
rain and wind storm that swept over
Southeast Missouri yesterday after
noon. The Cape, it is believed, was
on the northern edge of the storm.
Two of the men are injured so bad
ly that they may die as result. The
one woman whose name could not be
learned, was slightly cut by glass
while standing in the Frisco railroad
station. The force of the wind threw
her down at the same time that it
destroyed the windows of the station.
James Goldsmith, station agent, also
was injured when the twister strucI;
the railroad station.
The cyclone passed through Kenneth
at about o'clock. The place where
most of the damage occurred and
where the two men were hurt so badly
they may die is at a garage which had
the roof torn off and a part of one of
the walls thrown into the street.
The garage is conducted by two
men named A. Naples and Liston Nc
Kane. Both men were inside the
garage when the cyclone hit. A band
Of prisoners from the county Jail had
been working on the road near the
garage when the cyclone came up.
They saw the approaching twister and
fled to the garage for shelter.
One of the prisoners was caught I'M
der the debris of the falling roof when
the storm demolished the garage and
he had his legs injured.
Mr.. Naples also was caught beneath
the roof of the garage and was
crushed. One of his shoulders was
injured badly by falling bricks.
The Spence hardware store also was
badly wrecked by the storm. The
roofs were blown from more than a
half dozen houses and scores of trees
were either uprooted or broken down.
At the fairgrounds the fences were
thrown down and one of the deer
which are kept there, was killed in
stantly in the cyclone.
The wind severed wire connection
with the town and it was several hours
before a communication was restored
by telegraphic connection. The tele-
phone wires were not so badly dam
aged, however. News of the cyclone
was detailed to The Tribune by Sheriff
Lane who went through the cyclone
near the garage.

DEATH Oh, RUSSIAN
LEADER DEMANDED
Former War Minister is On Trial
and Cars Capital is in
Wild Excitement

Petrograd, June 19.-The report of
the commission which investigated the
charges against the former war min
lister, General SOukkomlinOf, is caus-
ing tremendous excitement. A num-
Der of peasant delegations from the
provinces have arrived here to demand
the execution of the ex-minister and
his wife. This demand is supported
by the labor unions and almost all
political organizations.
The commission appointed for the
investigation by the Imperial Council
consisted of the Senators Sogorowiski
and Kusmin and Col. Nosowithc, the
prosecuting officer of the military
court of Moscow, and has been at work
four months.
The commission states that General
Soukhomlinoff had received enormous
brides from army contractors. He had
organized regular and extensive sys-
TEN of graft. His principal aides were
Ivan Hoshkiewitch, an engineer and
relative of his wife, a married couple
by the name of Aktschier, a certain
Maxim Weber, a Mrs. Anna Auich
and the notorious RZewski, whose in
innate relations with the former min
lister of the interior, Shwostow, caused
the downfall of the latter. Rzewski
has made a partial confession.
The statements made by Rzewski
have also connected Gen. Soukhomli-
noff with the activities of Lieutenant
Colonel Mjassojedow, who was execut-
ed some time ago for treason. The
commission charges the ex-minister
with high treason and states that he
drove the country unprepared INFO
war, so as to be able to graft on a
larger scale than before.
This charge is based on the fact that
the General, in the presence of Lieu
tenant Colonel Mjassojedow, dictated
an article to Rzewski which was pub
lished by the 'Birshewija Wiedo-
mosti" under the title, owe Are
Ready" about two weeks before the
outbreak of the war.
The article was at once telegraphed
to France and England and helped to
stir up war sentiment in these coun-
tries. In Russia it caused a wave of
war spirit.
The court clique, dominated by the
monk Rasputin, is doing its utmost to
have the indicted general, but he will
probably have to pay the penalty for
his crimes, because the power and in
fluence of his friends has diminished
greatly since the details of the in
credible scandal became known.
Gen. Soukhomlinoff was honest, it is
believed, until he became commander
of the garrison of Kieff. There he
made the acquaintance of a number of
doubtful characters who gained great
influence over him. These criminals
and conspirators introduced him to the
beautiful woman who is now his wife
and who has caused his downfall.
After his marriage his wife obtain
ed large army contracts for her GRIM
inal friends and shared the profits
with them. When the general was
appointed war minister the clique fof-

ernment. 1t is said that he passed the
test with a high grade.
He will remain on the lake steamer
during the summer and will enter the
Armour Institute Of Technology in the
autumn. While only II years old, he
is considered a genius. Young Deal
developed an inventive mind while but
small boy, which was encouraged by
his parents.
When in knee trousers he built a
wireless apparatus without assistance
and the instrument worked to perfec-
ton. He never permitted task to
become too difficult for him to master
When he moved to this city from
Charleston a few years ago, one of his
first acts was to erect a wireless sta
ton at his home. He soon was able
to send and receive wireless messages
from Charleston and other Missouri
cities which possessed stations.
In the Government test last fall,
Young Deal picked up a message sent
by relays from Omaha, Neb. The test
was announced by the War Depart
ment in Washington in an effort &c
ascertain how rapidly news could be
carried over the United States by
wireless exclusively.
Harmon Deal picked up the message
flashed from st. Louis, and he receiv-
ed and registered its contents on paper
correctly. When the Government an
nounced the examination last week,
the Cape GiraFdeau youth was on hand
to take it. Because of his good show
ing he was offered the position on the
steamer ard he promptly accepted.

lowed him to Petrograd and reaped a
golden harvest. Through extravagant
living he got deeply into debt and
finally started to graft himself.
Col. Hassojedoi, who has been exc
cuted for treason, was known as the
most intimate friend of Mrs. Sioux
homlncff, and one newspaper openly
states that closer relations than mere
friendship existed between the two.
When the colonel was arrested the
police found letters in his possession
which left no doubt that the wife of
the war minister was also guilty of
treason. At that time all Russia de-
manded the execution of the woman,
but Rasputin and the former prime
minister, Goremykin, protected her
and she was only banished to South
ern Russia. Within three months she
returned to Petrograd to resume her
interrupted grating operations with
the aid of her husband.
