TRACY'S NAME HELD UP.
Senate Supports HudnalPs Motion to In
vestigate Record of Appointee as
Oil Inspector.

MADISON, Wis, May 7.-[Special.l
Senator Hudnall moved this morning
in the Senate that the nomination Of
Edward L. Tracy to be supervisor of in
spectors of Illuminating oils, be referred
to the judiciary committee to investigate
the record of the nominee
Senator Browne moved as an amend
ment, that the nomination be referred to
the committee on elections and Senator
Froemn.ing objected to its being referred
to any committee, urging that the Sen
ate vote at once upon the confirmation
of Mr.. Tracy.
After some discussion Senator Browne
amendment was voted down and Senator
IHudnalrs motion was carried by a strong
lmajority.
The Supposed reason for the hold-up
of the appointment of Mr.. Tracy's name
is on account of the opposition which has
developed because of his politics. He was
first appointed by Gov. La Toilette as a
game warden, and last year he espoused
the cause of Gov. Davidson.

dent

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, May A.
Especial. Mrs. A. Kopza and her IA
year-old son Frank of the town of Sigel,
near this city, went fishing yesterday
with sad results. The boy wandered
away from his mother and after an alb
sence of several hours the mother became
anxious. A searching party was formed
and they saw Franks fish pole in the
water just below bridge and upon in
vestigation the dead body of her boy
was found a short distance from the
pole, with his head in the water, where
the creek was but feet deep. The sup
position is that Frank was standing on
a log, which projects over the creek, and
in casting his line the hook caught in the
back of his coat. He evidently threw
the pole on the shore, and endeavored to
pull the hook out by reaching back of
him. In doing so it would appear that
he fell backward into the water.
