Eleanor Fay Says ex-Attache of Land
Orricc Left Her Right After
She Took Poison When
She Said1 Goodbye.
SAN" FRANCISCO. Aug. 13. fSpe
ial.) "Glavla was with mo when I
took the poison on the ferryboat last
night. We were to have been mar
ried soon. I was crossing the bay to
bid him goodby at the Oakland mole
He was going to Portland. He left
me right after I took the acid, but
T think that he will come back now.
"U'e have not quarreled, but persons
had brought stories about him to me.
I tried to kill myself because -"
Miss Eleanor Fay, a beautiful young
woman, tried to end her life on the
ferryboat Piedmont last night by
drinking carbolic acid, and uttered
this fragmentary explanation of her
act at the Oakland receiving hospital
today. In gasps she began to tell the
motive for her act, but after she had
muttered a few words she became un
conscious again and the secret of her
dramatic attempt at self-destruction
remains a mystery.
MnrrtaKe Firnt Asserted.
Ht statement that she was be
trothed to Louis R. Glavis, former sec
retary of the California State Conserv
ation Commission and a former at
tache of the United States Land Of
fice, came - in direct contradiction to
the brief explanation which she made
last night to a railroad, policeman
aboard the ferryboat, in which she
faid that her name was Glavis, and
that she had been married three
months.
Glavis was divorced about a year
ago. He was dismissed from the sec
retaryship of the State Conservation
Commission by the Government. After,
his dismissal, he was said, to have re-1
tired to his fruit ranch.
All efforts to secure an explanation
from Glavis failed today. He was not
at his usual place, and on leaving his
offices in the Flood building yesterday
be told his clerk that he would be
out of town for a few days, and would
telegraph his address.
Miss Fay is a stenographer, 22 years
old, and lived at the Southmayde
apartments, 901 Bush street, San Fran
cisco. She came from Portland a year
ago and lived In Sacramento for a
time. Much of the time she was in
the north Glavis was stationed In
Portland.
The young woman Is In a precarious
condition and attending physicians are
still uncertain as to whether Bhe will
live. A note, clenched In Miss Fay
hand when fellowTpassengers rushed to
her aid list night, falls to throw any
additional light on the case. v The
epistle reads:
"Louis, you wronged me. Tour life
ought to be happy at the expense of
mine. Burn my body. Don't tell the
folks."
Sensation Caused on FeTry.
Miss Fay's spectacular attempt at
suicide created a sensation aboard the
crowded ferryboat last night. The
steamer was not far from the Oak
land mole when a scream was heard
and the pretty woman passenger fell
to the floor.
Railroad police were among the first
to come to her assistance and It waa
then that Miss Fay gave her name as
Mrs. Glavis. On the arrival of the
steamer at the mole the younsr' woman
was hurried in an automobile to the
receiving hospital and her sister. Miss
Cecilia Fay, was summoned.
Glavis now is supposed to be on his
way to Portland. A man called at the
receiving hospital today to inquire as
to the condition of Miss Fav. in. re
sponse to queries of the hospital at
taches he refused to give his name and
explained that he was a friend of the
young woman.
Miss Cecilia Fay. the sister, spent
IT-IV L ,h; mornlnS at her sister's
bedside and later arranged to have the
patient removed to a sanitarium

That is not true." she said. "My sis
ter has been delirous and is not re
sponsible for what she says."
KIMORS HEARD IX PORTLAND
Domestic Difficulties of Glavis
Talked Before Divorce.
Louis R. Glavis. as special agent of
te Interior Department, had his head
quarters in Portland several years
prior to 1909. working under the super
vision of Special Agent Christianson at
.Seatne. While here there were ru
mors of his having domestic difficul
ties Later he was dismissed from the
service by President Taft because of
His criticism of his superior, Secretary
the Interior Eallinger, Glavis al
leging that Balllnger was disposed to
allow the Cunningham group of coal
claims in Alaska to go to patent, know
ing the locations thereon to be fraud
ulent. Following -his dismissal Glavis set
tled on a fruit ranch near White Sal
mon. Wash., and remained there until
he was called Kast as a witness before
the Congressional committee that was
investigating the Alaska coal frauds
in which Balllnger was said to be Im
plicated. While Glavis was in Washington Mrs.
Glavis secured a divorce in a Seattle
court on the ground of having been
cruelly treated by her husband. Glavis
later went to California and engaged
in the work of the State Conservation
league. Because it was charged that
he and another man concerned in the
work of the league were representing
private limber interests he severed his
connection with that work and so far
as is known here has not since en
gaged in any work of a public nature.

HINT DROPPED TO TURKEY
Sir Edward Grey Intimates Porte, If
It Does Not Heed European Ad
vice, May Hear Something
to Its Disadvantage.
LONDON, Aug. 12. The concert of
Europe is In splendid tune, according
to Sir Edward Grey, who. however,
hinted today In the House of Commons
that it was possible one of the great
powers might intervene In Turkey if
provoked. The Foreign Secretary said:
"We have reached a stage at which
the concert of Europe Is so firmly es
tablished that the adjournment of the
ambassadorial conference can raise no
doubt regarding the health and well
being of the concert. We have reached
an agreement on the subjects of
Aioania and the Islands In the Aegean
Sea."
Albanian Ruler to Be Chosen.
An international commission of con
trol. Sir Edward explained, will set up
an autonomous state of Albania under
a Prince to be selected by the European
powers, while regarding the Aegean
islands, the powers, including Italy,
have adopted the self-denying ordi
nance that none of the islands shall be
retained by them. Their ultimate
destiny, he said, is to be settled by
ine concert or Europe when Turkey
carries out her treaty with Italy and
the islands now In the hands of Italy
are all available for distribution.
Dealing with the situation In Maco
donla and Thrace, Sir Edward averred
that every state connected with the
Balkan War had in the past few weeks
disregarded treaties and agreements
and tried to take advantage of the
situation.
Warning- Given Turkey,
The only really satisfactory feature,
he said, was the. cessation of hostili
ties, and the fact that demobilization
had begun.
With - regard to Thrace and the
fortress of Adrlanople, Sir Edward said
if Turkey did not accept the advice of
the powers action would sooner or
later, either by financial distress or
armed Intervention, bring her to
disaster, but he took some of the sting
out of this declaration by saying that
the European powers would require
some time to examine the situation be
fore deciding on the final steps. The
Foreign Secretary concluded:
"Both Turkey and the Balkan allies
should understand that the abstinence,
of the powers from forcible interven
tion during the last few months does
not mean that one of the great powers
will not intervene if sufficient provoca
tion be given."

DENVER. Aug. 12. With standards
flying and marking time to music ot
scores of bands, thousands of Knights
Templars today appeared in their gor
geous paraae wnicn. officially opened
their 42d triennial conclave. Down the
line of march through the streets of
Denver and between deep rows of eager
spectators, into the great stadium for
review by 40,000 people, passed the
seemingly interminable ranks of
Knights Templars.
It is estimated that 12,000 marched.
After the parade the canvass of can
didates for senior and Junior grand
warden, to be filled this conclave, be
gan. It is generally conceded tonight
that Leonidas Newby, of Knightson,
Neb., will be chosen senior grand war
den, as he is the only known candi
date for the office. Interest centers in
the election of Junior grand warden
and today it seemed as though Samuel
P. Cochran, of Huston, Tex., would be
the successful candidate, with George
W. Vallory, Denver, and W. H. N. Nor-
ris, 'Manchester, la., pressing him hard
ror victory. That Los Angeles will se
cure the next conclave was the general
prediction. -
When the Oregon delegation of
Knights Templars arrived in Colorado

"When we left Colorado Springs
about 4:30 o'clock Sunday the day was
delightful," said Mr. Grace. "We had
been on the road about an hour when
we noticed dark rain clouds gathering
over Pike's Peak, and a few drops of
rain fell.
"The cloud looked like an Immense
horseshoe, and It seemed to be travel
ing along with our party. All around
us it was raining torrents, but with
the exception of the slight sprinkling
not a drop fell on us."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. That the
tobacco trust, instead of belny dis
solved by the decree of the Supreme
Court of the United States, has In
creased its monopolistic control of to
bacco manufacture, wai asserted In the
Senate today by Senator. Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, In discussing the tobacco
schedule of the tariff bill.
Reading from statistics furnished by
the Secretary of the Treasury, he de
clared that four concerns manufactured
last year 71 3-5 per cent of all tobacco
manufactured In the United States,
that three of these concerns manufac
tured SO per cent of the small ciffare
and three of them 88 3-5 per cent of all
the cigarettes.
" "If the American people are in earn
est, and I believe they are," he added,
"they vrant this monopoly curbed. If
the United States Senate Is In earnest
it ought not to permit any rule of a
party caucus to restrain a Senator
from voting for a measure that would
put a stop to defiance of a Judicial
decree and restore a. condition of com
petition in the world in tobacco manu
factures." Graduated Tax Approved.
The tobacco schedule, which places
a graduated 'income tax on tobacco pro
duction, was approved by the Senate
without amendment. The metal sched
ule was completed with the exception
of some paragraphs which the finance
committee had passed for further con
sideration, and the sugar schedule was
passed over because of the illness of

most vigorously assailed by the Sen
ators of the minority.
Senator Groom, of North Dakota,
opened this discussion and proposed in
lieu of free listing cattle a rate of
11. SO a head on cattle less than a year
old; $3 a head on cattle valued at not
more than 14, and 20 per cent ad
valorem on cattle valued at more than
14.
Senator Lane, of Oregon, said the
principal reason for placing cattle on
the free list was that there were not
sufficient cattle in this country to sup
ply the domestic demand.
Cattle on Free List.
The committee amendment placing
cattle on the free list was sustained,
38 to 31, Senator Thornton, of Louisi
ana, voting with the Republicans
against the amendment. This was the
first time a Democrat had voted
against the party amendments. All the
progressive Republicans voted against
free cattle.
Senator Catron, of New Mexico, op
posed free sheep, offering an amend
ment placing a tariff of 5D cents a
head on r,heep le3s than 1 year old
and a head on sheep 1 year f la.
This was rejected, 32 to 37. and the
committee amendment placing sheep
on the free list was agreed to.
Senator Thornton, voting ,with the
Republicans, again indicated that he
would oppose the entire agricultural
schedule.
The North Dakota Senator, Gronna,
also proposed to increase the duty on
oats from 6 cenits to 10 cents a bushel;
oatemal from 33 cents to 45 cents a
hundredweight, and oat feed from
cents to 15 cents per hundred. Action
on these rates was deferred until to
morrow. Farmer Made Tariff "Goat."
Senator Nelson declared the Demo
crat! bad left protection for the steel
manufacturer, the wool, cotton, pottery
and other manufacturers, and had
"made the poor farmer the goat for
this cheap cost of living principle."
"I would like to see along with a
cheap loaf of bread a cheap pair of
pants," the Senator concluded.
Senatof Williams denied that there
was discrimination in favor of the
South.
"Cotton, corn, hemp, sugar and cat
tle are the chief products of the
South," said Senator Williams, "and we
have put every one of them on the
free list."
Republican leaders in the Senate re
newed discussion of a. possible recess
of Congress carrying with It a delay
In the final passage of the currency
bill until November. The suggestion
was made in Republican circles that if
the Democrats would agree to a recess
immediately after the bill was passed
until November, much opposition to the
tariff measure might be withdrawn,
and the passage of the bill greatly
expedited.

basis of this data, expeoted to be avail
able in time for the distribution of the
$50,000,000, the Treasury Department
will aim to differentiate between the
banks which borrow or lend In con
nection with speculative operations or
are chronic borrowers and those who
endeavor to relieve financial strain
wherever it exists.
Detailed Information Called For.
Information of this character, it was
announced, will now regularly be ob
tained by the Controller of the Cur
rency as a feature of his calls for con
dition of National banks, in order that
the Treasury Department may know
what sections of the country are in
neid of additional circulation at va
rious periods of the year. Acting Con
troller Kane issued this statement:
"All banks have been requested to
send in on special forms furnished for
that purpose detailed statements of all
money loaned to other banks as well
as all money borrowed from other
banks In the form of rediscounts, bills
payable or in any other manner. The
new form will enable to Controller
more easily to determine what sections
of the country are in need of addi
tional circulation at stated periods of
the year.
Legitimate Demand Ascertained.
"It will also tell what banks accom
modate their correspondents in such
sections and, in addition, should also
enable the Controller to ascertain more
easily what banks borrow In order to
meet legitimate discounts and varying
conditions and what banks should be
listed as chronic borrowers that is,
those which borrow to reloan in nor
mat times."
