SWALLOWED ACID
Mrs. E. Beecher Attempts to
Commit Suicide, Because
of Discouragement.
FATAL RESULT PREVENTED
Had Just Eaten Meal, and This Fact
Made Prompt Attention by Ply
stefan Successful.

Mrs. L. Beecher, 2410 Third ave-
nue., attempted to end her life last
evening at her home by taking car
bolic acid, and only the fact that she
took the poison soon after eating
meal made it possible to prevent fatal
effects from the acid. Mrs. Beecher
took fully an ounce of the poison, and
her mouth and throat were severely
burned by the acid. Her deed was
discovered at once, and the ambu-
lance was summoned and she was
removed to st. Anthony's hospital,
where DR.. Joseph DeSilva was sum-
moned to attend her. The physician
would probably have been unable to
save the woman's life had the poison
been taken under other circum-
stances, but the fact that the food
prevented much absorption of the
poison made it possible to revive
| Mrs. beecher, and reports from the
hospital this morning are to the eff
feet that she is greatly improved, and
will recover.
Had Been Ill.
The attempt at suicide was made
about $50. Mrs. Beecher has been
! i'll for some time, and her effort to
end her life is believed to have been
due to encouragement and worry ov-
err her illness. Mrs. Beecher's hus-
band is employed as a foreman by
the Lewis Roofing company.

Rome, oct. 13.-It is believed here
that the execution of Ferrer was has
tened by the fear that the pope would
intervene. According to those who
support this theory the Spanish au-
thorities> wished To prevent the king
being placed in Il position where he
might have to grant or refuse a papai
request for pardon.
What attitude the yactican assumed
toward the Ferfer rase cannot be
learned. The officials will neither
deny nor confirm that any step look
ing tn pardon for the reyolutionist
was taken but it is understood If any
thing WAS done the negotiations We're

and King Alfonso.
The one phase of the affair that the

action To prevent the intervention of
