Chamberlain succeeded in getting
away without mishap, but the men did
not venture back for the remainder of
their honey for some time. When they
did go back there was preciou, little OF
it left, for between the ravenous bears
and clumsy kuntz the honey had Jared
badly. How the bears succeeded in
carrying the tubful Of honey from the
rock ledge 10 the opposite side of the
rayine is a puzzle to Chamberlain, but
that they did the job and did il well was
shown by the fact that the tub was
moved and the trail along which they
had carried it showed that little had
spilled and even this was probably
pulled out by the greedy cubs as their
parents tugged along with their bur
den. This honey experience and the
bear convention which Chamberlain
saw last summer have convinced him
that Pine Creek bears are too smart for
Hmm. Y. Sun.

OPPOSES A LIQUOR LICENSE.
Case to Come Up In the Equity
Court.


Court.
IL stituted this afternoon by Dennis Fitz-
gerald, through Attorneys Wilson and
Barksdale, against Maurice O'Leary. Mr..
Fitzgerald seeks to enjoin Mr.. O'Leary from
establishing or maintaining bar room or
saloon at IA G street.
Mr.. Fitzgerald states in his bill of COM
PLANT that he has owned and resided at IS
g street for more than forty years, and
also owns 16 G street; that the entrance to
the proposed bar room is within fifty feet
of the entrances of 16 and IS G street, and
that. in view of that fact 1t is not within
the power of the excise beard to grant q
painant having filed protest against such
action.
It is further alleged by Mr. Fitzgerald
that the entrance to the proposed bar room
Is within 400 feet to the nearest entrance
by the shortest course, of the Gales public
school building, and that the law prohibits
the grating Of licenses under such circum-
stances.
According to Mr.. Fitzgerald the applica-
ton for license was made by Mr. O'Leary
the I'd of last May, the protest was filed
two days later, and hearing had before
the excise board the 27th of May, the
license being refused. The 2Sth of July
however, without notice to the complainant
ard without the defendant complying with
the law, it is declared the application was
reconsidered and the license granted.
The matter was called to the attention of
Justice Cole, in Equity Court No. 1, who
issued an order directing the defendant to
show cause the 18th instant WHY he should
not be enjoined as asked.

A Boy Injured by Metropolitan

Notes.

The police of this precinct notified many
residents of Georgetown yesterday of the
fact that there is working in their midst a
man who purports to be a collector for the
gas light company, but who is pronounced
a fraud. His plan is to call upon con-
sumers to whom the monthly bill has been
rendered, ask to see the bill, and, after ex-
aiming 1t. for moment, state that there
Is an error, reduce the bill in amount, in
troduce himself as collector for the COM
pany and collect. The man has worked
successfully in Washington proper but so
far has reaped nothing from Georgetown
consumers. The promptness with which he
strikes off part of the bill as rendered has
the effect of placing himself in agreeable
relations at once with the consumer and
getting ready response for the amount
due.
Struck by n Car.
A small colored boy named Eugene Ac-
tive suffered painful injuries yesterday at
the corner of 2Sth street and Dumbarton

OLDHAM DRANK POISON
But Stomach Pump Relieved Him and BE
Will Live.
Thought He Had Been Sighted by the
Woman to Whom He Was
Attached.

Frank G. Oldham, thirty-two years old,
an advertising solicitor for weekly paper
swallowed two ounces of iaudanum last
night about o'clock. He either imagined
he wanted to die took the big dose Of
poison in order to gain the sympathy of the
woman he loved. The poison was taken in
the woman's presence, but on account of
the prompt action of Sergeant Falvey and
Policeman Larrick, Oldham was soon in the
Eastern Dispensary and was relieved of the
poison.
The Woman in the Case.
Mrs. Daisy l. Lowe is the woman about
whom Oldham seems to have lost his head.
She lives at the corner of Maryland avenue
and 9th street northeast, and it was on the
porch of this house that the dramatic Incl
dent occurred. Mrs. Lowe is married and
has one child. Some day she expects
the court will grant her legal sepa-
ration and the custody of her child.
a boy six years old. Just as Mrs.
Lowe expects the separation, Oldham had
expected to become the boys stepfather.
Several times, It is stated, the young man
threatened that he would end his life. He
had an idea that the game of love was too
one-sided, and, like many who have gone
before him, he also had an idea that Mrs.
Lowe was the only woman in all the world.
such an opinion of him. When he called at
the house yesterday morning to see Mrs.
Lowe he was told that she was i'll in bed
and he was not permitted to see her.
A physician was sent for, and Oldham
took Mrs. loves boy out for a little recre-
alton. He returned with the boy, and
again he had to go away without seeing
the boys mother. During the afternoon he
studied over his lot in life and concluded
he would do something unusual. Again
last night he returned to the house and
found Mrs. Lowe seated on the porch
Making His Preparations.
He then had in his possession three let
tiers that he had written, and these contain
ed his reasons for committing a rash act.
From the house he went to a drug store
and got medicine, and at the same time he
purchased the poison-enough to kill
whole family. Smarting under the belief
that Mrs Lowe had sighted him on more
than one occasion, he drank the poison in
her presence and then rested himself on the
porch to die. OF the three letters he had
written one was addressed to Mrs. Lowe,
another to his mother in Boston and the
third to the public. These were taken by
Mrs. Lowe, who decided she would not dis
close their contents. The police then re-
sponded to a message sent by Mrs. Lowe
and had Oldham in the hospital in a few
minutes. The stomach pump was applied,
and now the young man is satisfied to live.
He lives at hotel near Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and list street northwest.
