WISCONSIN CANDIDATE DEAD
UNDER CONDITIONS WHICH ,hDI.
CATE SUICIDE.
Body Of Frank Z. Tucker Of Oshkosh
Found In the Fox
River.

Oshkosh, Sept. Frank T. Tucker,
assistant attorney general of the state
Of Wisconsin, and candidate for the
Republican nomination for attorney
general at the primary election to be
held Tuesday next. is believed to have
committed suicide in Fox river here
His body was taken from the river.
A short time ago a rival for attorney
general accused Tucker of using en-
velopes bearing the stamp of the office
Of State Fire Marshal Tom Purtell. It
was charged these envelopes had the
stickers Of the German American bank
Of Madison over the name of the state
fire marshall and that the campaign
literature sent in them was signed by
the president Of the bank, in behalf
Of fuckers candidacy. 1t was also
charged that fuckers private sigma
ture appeared on some Of the litera-
ture. The value of the envelopes it
was charged he used in this way was
between $40 and $12.
Tucker Denies Charge.
Tucker denied the charge and &C.
cused his enemies of a conspiracy to
injure his candidacy. His friends say
1t was unreasonable to believe that
Tucker, who had already spent $1,000
In campaign literature, would stoop to
steal $12 worth of envelopes in man
ner which would be certain to result
In detection. Tucker asserted that his
Office had been left open and his. en-
emies had fixed up the envelopes and
slipped them into his desk, with his
other Office supplies, laying the trap
by which they expected to help de-
feat him.
Tucker has been i'll for more than q
month, and 1t was not believed he
could make strong campaign owing
to his poor health. After the charge
came out Tucker had been acting
Eighty and was examined by DR.. Har-
per, Madison physician, who told
him he was threatened with mental
collapse and ordered him to go to his
home in Oshkosh for complete rest.
Wednesday night Tucker escaped
and during the search for him q
scream was heard from the center
span Of the bridge and Immediately
thereafter a splash from the water
below. Searchers dashed to the scene
and found fuckers suitcase on the
bridge. His hat was found floating on
the water, and in a short time his
body was recovered.
Tucker married about three years
ago and his wife and 2-year-old daugh.
ter are at Madison. Mrs. Tucker has
so far been kept ignorant of his sup.
posed suicide,

WHO WANTS TO GO ON
SPIN THROUGH RAPIDS?

Niagara Falls. n. Y.-Fifteen hun
dred dollars in gold awaits the man
who is daring enough to go through
the Whirlpool Rapids, below Niagara
Falls in a motor boat. A Cleveland
man has announced that he will do
nate $500 and a boating magazine has
added $1,000 to this amount.
A committee of prominent men, to
be selected later, will receive the
money and hold 1t until the feat is
accomplished If any one daring
enough to attempt it comes forward.
It is expected that arrangements OF
some kind will be made soon to hold
the contest next summer.

ing being the loss of her smokestack.

COUPLING OF CARS is
NOW LESS HAZARDOUS

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission has issued figures
relating to railroad accidents. to COUP
ling and uncoupling of cars as show
ing beneficial results of the operation
of the safety appliance law. The fig
ures show that in 1898 the number of
men employed in coupling and un-
coupling cars in the United States
was 349 for each man killed in the
service, while in 1908 the number
employed for each man killed was
9S3 an increase in safety amounting
to 1876 per cent. The number em-
ployed for each one injured in the
coupling of cars in 1898 was 13.
while in 1908 the number was 60, an
increase in the factor of safety so far
as injuries are concerned of S76.92
per cent.
The number killed for each 1000
employed in 1893 was and but one
in 1908. The number injured for each
1000 employed in the service in 1898
was II. in 1908 1t was 16, a decrease
in this hazard amounting to 1922 per
cent.
The department has issued tables on
railroad accidents from all causes and
this report shows that while deaths
and injuries to trainmen in all acci-
dents other than coupling have stead
lily increased. the deaths and injuries
to trainmen from coupling accidents
have progressively decreased.
