Madison-Dr. Charles Mccarthy, for
twenty years head of the legislative
reference library which he founded
here in 1901, died suddenly at Phoenix
Ariz., following stomach operation.
The announcement was received here
and among friends of Milwaukee with
surprise, since Mr.. Mccarthy was in
good health when he left his home sew
eral weeks ago for the southern city.
AS head of the reference department
in the state library, he gained state
wide prominence. He was born in
1873 at Brocton, Mass. In 1896 he
graduated from Brown university with
the degree of doctor of philosophy and
in 1900 became a scholar of history at
the University of Wisconsin. The ref
erence library organized by him at
Madison was the first in the United
States and was adopted later in other
states. DR.. Mccarthy was demo
cratic candidate for United States sen
ator in 1918, opposing Joseph Z.
Davies. He was actively engaged in
the service Of the government during
the war as an aid to Herbert Hoover,
food administrator. Dr. Mccarthy has
written the statutes of Wisconsin for
years. He was probably the most
spectacular character in the official
life of the capitol. and one of the not
able figures in modern American
history.

pendent on the maintenance of forests
at the headwaters of the great power
producing streams of the state.
