SENATOR BUSTING, SHOT ACCIDENTALLY
 DIES FROM WOUND
Wisconsin Man, While Hunt ing With Brother, Re ceives Load From Gun
 in His Back

Milwaukee, October 21.-United States Senator Paul o. Husting of Wis consin died nt farmhouse at Rusl. Lake. Wis.,. late tonight as the result of wounds accidentally inflicted upon him with shotsun by his brother, Gustave. while hunting ducks today.
 Senator Husting recently returned to his home at MayyiIlc after the close of the extra session of Congress, where he was one of the leading sup porters of the administrators war programme.
 With his brother he had gone on . hunting expedition to Rush Lake and the two were In n boat when the acci- dent occurred. He had sighted . flock of ducks and called for his brother to fire, and at the discharge of the shot- gun he rose slightly, receiving the full charge of the gun in his hack. He was rushed to the farmhouse where all efforts to save his life were nnavail- ing.
 Paul o. Husting. democrat, of May vile, Dodge county, Wis, was born at Fond Du Lac, Wis. April 15. 1866, and removed with his parents to Mayville, in 1876, He attended the common schools of Fond Du Lac and Dodge counties until his sixteenth year, when he went to work as clerk in general store. He was afterwards employed in the post office and railway postal service. He entered the University of Wisconsin in 1885 and in December of that year he passed the state bar examination and commenced the practice of law at May ville Wis, in which profession he has been engaged ever since. He was elected state senator from the Thirteenth sena- torial district and reelected in 1910. He was elected to the United States Senate in 1914 to succeed Isaac Stephenson. His term of office would have expired March 8. 1921.

 BOY SCOUT CAMPAIGN
 "The Boy Scout campaign. which be- gan last Saturday with 300,000. work |ers in the field, will continue unabated until Thursday night. The scouts arc reporting good progress.
 "Recapitulation of sales made through different organizations of per- sons of foreign birth or extraction show that great numbers of so called German American bodies. including many that supported the first loan. are striving hard to make the second loan a success
 National organizations are issuing special appeals to their sublodges urg- ing them to appoint special liberty loan committees Responses are en- |couraging. Comparatively small bodies. composed chiefly of 1aboring men and small wage earners. have adopted reso- Ilutions to invest the largest part. if not all of their funds, in liberty bonds. Other organizations with greater means are subscribing amounts ranging from 5000 to $1o0,000
 Special efforts are being put forth by many societies to thwart the perni- lcious and seditious attempts to inter Here with the success of the loan. Approximately 25O, 900 clergymen to- day urged the purchase of liberty bonds III sermons. The Star r-Spangled Ban ner also was sung in almost every church in the country"
