PHARMACY STUDENT
DETERMINED TO DIE
FoiIed in Attempt With Acid,
FurbershaW Tells Doctors
l.,
He Will Try Again.

Determined to die. Joseph A. Furber-
shaw, young pharmacy student. who
drank a quantity of caFbolic acid while
in front of the New Willard Hotel last
night, told doctors at Emergency Hos
pitau today that as soon as he recov-
cred from the effects of the poison ne
would make another attempt at sui
Cide.
Furbershaw is twenty-five years old,
and lives at so r street northwest
Members of his family said they could
not understand why he had taken the
poison. Furbershdw himself declined to
give any reason. In his pocket was
found a signed civil scrvic application
for position as pressman in the Gov
eminent Printing Office. His father said
the young man had never had any eX-
perience in the printing business, and
was not qualified to accept such a posi-
ton.
About 10:3O o'clock last night Furber-
shaw stopped before the Fourteenth
street entrance to the hotel, took the
bottle of acid from his pocket, and.
raising the phial to his lips said: Here
go, everybody! Good-byr'
Several taxicab drivers rushed to his
side, and, detecting the odor of car
bolic acid, placed him in machine
driven by William J. Dietz, in which
he was taken to the hospital, where the
prompt use of a stomach pump saved
his life.

ng to depict the contest between him

For Her CooIheadedness.

Miss Gertrude Davis. amateur heroine.
awoke this morning, read the account of
her conduct during a vulcanizer explos-
,, ion, and pOuted because the reporters
said she was twenty-five when she is
only twenty-three, and classified her as
office help when she is n bookkeeper
Miss Davis. who lives in the Frances
apartments. on Twenty-ifth street, is
the girl who kept her head when a vul-
canizing machine charged with 400
pounds of steam exploded in DR.. Rob-
ert J. Rothstein's dental laboratory yes
terday afternoon, and almost killed the
doctor and his assistant, Percy Walton,
OF 2226 \ street northwest
The explosion never touched the girl
but there were cries of Send for an
ambulance!" and Get some Doctors
which threw the Office into a panic, with
the exception of Miss Davis, VINO seated
herself at the telephone, called Emer-
gency Hospital, ana had the ambulance
at the door of the LIE DroiI buildin,..
before the others had thought wher. 20
telephone or what to do.
Young Walton was badly Injured. )
piece of the copper plate of the vui-
ctnizer gaShed him in the back, and
knocked him unconscious fer fifteen
minutes. And there lay the doctor"
said Miss Davis. 'all bloody and he
was only married a little while ago.
After the excitement had died down
Miss Davis, of course, exercised the
natural prerogative of heroines and
took time to faint. She came around
quickly, and after the dentist and his
assistant were carted off to the hos
pital, Miss Davis called 1t day and
locked up.
This morning, however. she didn't
run quite true to form. Instead of sit
ting in her boudoir in a flowered XII
EIono receiving congratuiatory tele-
phone messages from friends, she
didn't do a thing but get up and go to
work, as if it were the most natural
thing in the world
Which it most unquestionably was,
Miss Davis declared.
