HIS LIFE SAVED.
Frank Sherwoods Unsuccessful At

Frank sherwood's Unsuccessful At
tempt at Suicide.
Frank A. Sherwood, fresco painter and
decorator, came near ending MS spree In
death yesterday afternoon. He drank
enough laudanum to have killed several
persons but he was under the care of
physicians so soon that he was relieved of
his deadly Dose and now he has recovered.
Sherwood. who is a married man. has not
lived with his wife recently, but has board
ed at Mrs. Walkers, No. $40 H street north
west. About o'clock yesterday he return
ed to the boarding house under the influ-
ence of liquor. He was very nervous. and
told some Of the people in the house that he
was going to take some laudanum to make
him sleep. No attention was paid to his
remark, as the ladies to whom he made it
thought he was Joking. But he did go out
and get the laudanum. and soon afterward
: a doctor was called. An hour later the sick
man was taken to the Emergency Hospital,
and when he reached there he was appar-
emily dead. Heroic treatment was neces-
sary to resuscitate the dying man. and after
some hard work the efforts of the physi-
clans were rewarded.
Mrs. Sherwood and her son live in North
east Washington, and they called at the
hospital to see the supposed dying man.
Mrs. Sherwood has been in the country, and
the husband had learned that she had re-
ceived an anonymous letter from here tell
ing of his drinking. This seemed to worry
him, and 1t is thought caused him to get in
toxicated yesterday.
1t was about IL o'clock last night before
the man was restored to consciousness, and
he may be able to leave the hospital today
or tomorrow.

AGAINST. OVERHEAD WIRES
The Commissioners Think They Can Force
the G Street Wires Underground
The Poles ON G Street Must Come
Down and Probably No Permit Will
BE Given to Erect New Ones.

AS stated in yesterdays Star. in an ex-
elusive announcement of the correspond
ence concerning the telegraph poles to be
removed I'll widening G street, the Commits
sioners are anxious wherever it is practi-
cable to get the overhead wires Of the city
underground. Yesterday the attorney for
the District was called upon to state exact
ly the authority of the Commissioners in
the matter. There is little doubt, 1t is said,
that the Commissioners are vested with
sufficient authority to put the wires along
G street underground. If they can compel
the telegraph company to build a conduit
along this street, it win be the means of
finally compelling all wires to be buried.
A Good Case.
The case upon which the Commissioners
base their hopes is a good one, they think.
and there is little reason to doubt the out
come. They decide to widen G street. To
Go this. the line Of telegraph poles will
either have to be removed or replaced upon
the new street line. The latter is not FEAST
BILE, in view of the contracted sidewalk, and
the former is the much desired thing the
Commissioners hope for. And 1t would seem
according to the police regulations. and the
law governing the erection of poles, that
the Commissioners are vested with ample
power. When the street is widened the
after theCommissioners notify the telegraph
company to remove Its poles the telegraph
company refuses, it can be proceeded
against, the same as the lexington railroad
was, for maintaining nuisance, by unlaw-
fully obstructing the street.
The Poles Must Come Down.
One thing is certain. the poles along G
street must come down, and it rests en-
tirely with the Commissioners whether or
not they can be moved to the new side
walk line No poles can be erected without
g permit, and the Commissioners will In all
probability refuse one, This will tend
to compel the telegraph company to resort
to underground ccnduits 1t was stated to-
day upon good authority that the telegraph
company would have something to say
when the time came, and fight the issue In
the courts If necessary. If on the other
hand the Commissioners are advised that
they are powcrless to force the wires I'M
derground special legislation covering the
whole subject will be sought at the next
session of Congress. There are a number
of narrow streets with their sidewalks al
ready seriously INSTRUCTED by telegraph
poles, and this together with the recon-
mendation of Chief Paris, who Is sop
posed to overhead wires, will form the
basis Of arguments to be presented to Con-
gress asking for the much-needed legisla-
ton.
