pology for being intoxicated on
the Franconla May 29. She was
kmt oft the ship.
i The text of the other two letters
follows: . , .
' Hell, Bill, Old Thing!
J .'T'lfo all up with me now. This Is
comething I am going to put
through. The only thing that both
ers me about It the only thing I
dread Is being outwitted and pro
tested from doing this, which is
the only possible thing for me to
do. ..
it one wants to get away with
murder one has to jolly well keep
one's wits about one. It's the same
way with suicide.
"If I don't watch out I will wake
lip In a psychopathic ward, but I
Intend to watch out and accom
plish my end this time. No there,

Wanted Oblivion
"I don't want to be maimed. I
want oblivion, it there la any after
II fo it will be a dirty trick, but I
m sure fifty million priests are
wrong. That la one of those things
ono knows.
''Nothing makes any difference
now. I love to eat and can have
one delicious meal with no worrlos
over gaining. 1 adore muslo and
I am going to hear some good mu
V ale. I believe I love good music
more than anything. I am going to

"Also I am going to enjoy my last
cigarette. 1 won't worry because
men Illrt wltn me in the street, l
shall encourage them. I don't care
who they are. (Three sentences de
leted .
"It's a great life, when one has
24 hours to live. I can be rude to
people. I can tell them they are
too fat or that I don't like their
clothes, and I don't have to dread
being a lonely old woman, or pov
erty, obscurity and boderom.
No Dread of Future
"I don't have to dread living on,
without even seeing you, hearing
rumors such as 'The women all fall
for him' and 'He entertains charm
lngly.' Why shouldn't, you! But
It's more than I can cope with, this
feeling I have tor you.
"The words love, adore, worship,
have become meaningless. There is
nothing I can do but what I am go

"I shall never see you again. That
Is extraordinary.
"Although I can't comprehend It
any more than I cwa, comprehend
the words 'always' or 'time,' They
produce a very merciful numbness.
STAHIl.
The second letter was written on
the stationery of a Fifth avenue ho
tel. It was undated and bore a
postmark of June 2. It read:
Found Life Sordid
"I am going (definitely now. 1
have been thinking of it for a long
time) to end my worthless, disor
derly bore of an existence before I
ruin anyone else's life as well.
I certainly have made a sordid.
futurelbss mess of it all. I am dead
Blck of It. It Is no one's fault but
my own I hate everything so. Life
Is so horrible.
"Being a sane person, you may
not understand. I take dope to
forget and drink to try and like
neoole. but It's no use. I am mad
and Insane over you. I hold my
breath to try to stand It, take drugs
in the hope of waking happier, but
that homesick feeling never leaves
me. I have, strangely enough, more
of a feeling of peace whatever
you call it now that I know It will
soon be over,
"The halt hour bofore I die will,
I Imagine, be quite blissful. You
promised to come and see me. I
roallze absolutely that It will be the
one and only time. There Is no
earthly roauon why you should
come. If you do It will be what I
call an act of marvelous generosity
and kindness.
' And So, 'Goodbye
"What I did yesterday was very
horrible, although I don't see how
you could lose your job, as It must
have been clearly seen what a nui
sance you thought me.
"If I don't see you again, good
bye. Sorry to lose all sense of hu
mor. But I am suffering so that
all I want Is to have it over with.
It's become a hell such as I could
not have Imagined.
"If you come to see me when
you are In this time you will be a
sport. You are assured by this let
tor of no bother from me.
"My dear. STARR.

ance of Medford end surrounding

ifornia territory being provided
with better train mall carrying ser
vice south.
Warner Shows Need
Postmaster Warner, who had
flown by plane with him from the
Eugene postmasters' convention
late Monday and back; again to
Medford that night, bad ample op
portunity of calling attention to
thlB deplorable mail situation be
fore they left Tuesday morning.
accompanied by O. O. Alenderfer,
president of the Chamber or com
merce; C. T. Baker, secrotary, and
J. C. Thompson, chairman ot me
chamber's airport committee. It
is understood that the chamber of
ficials also hammered home the
necessity of better mall transpor
tation south outside of the air mall
service, and the absolute necessity
for development of that service, by
maklnir It available to the Oregon
territory around Medford and ad
pacent northern California . territory.
Probe Premised
That Mr. Glover wis deeply lm-
nressed with the situation Is shown
by the fact that Just before de
nartlns on the plane for Portland
yesterday afternoon he told a Mall
Tribune reporter that as Boon as
he returned to Washington ne
would start an investigation of the
Inadequate train service south from
Medford, and would probably send
a, postotrice department otflclal
here to make a personal Investiga
tion with a view to providing bet
ter service south, either by train
or some other method.
At present Medford haa only one
mail carrying train a day to the
south, which arrives about 8 p. m.
The only other south bound train is
the Oregonian, which arrives here
about 8:55 a. m. and only goes aa
far as Ashland, where It turns about
and starts back to Portland, arriv
ing in. Medford about 6 p. m. Thus
regular mail consigned through
Medford from California points has
to lay over here many hours to
await the arrival of the south
bound train.
" Visit Enjoyed
Mr. Glover, who Is a very com
panionable and approcbable official,
left Medford with pleasant impres
sions of Medford and vicinity, Its
airport, Crater Lake, and the cour
tesies' shown him during bis visit.
He and escorts arrived back In
Medford from Crater Lake ten or
fifteen minutes before the north'
bound trl-motor mall and paasen
ger plane arrived, on which he de
parted for Portland at 3:15 p m
yesterday.
Mayor E. M. Wilson and City
Councilman J. O. Grey, P. M. Ker
shaw, C. C. Furnas, W. W. Allen,
George W. Porter and C. C. Darby
were at the airport to greet blm
on arrival from Crater Lake, as
well as Assistant Postmaster Beach
and a number of other well known
Medford citizens.
At noon yesterday Mr. Glover
and escort party were luncheon
guests at Government camp Mr,
Glover was escorted to various
points of interest and shown views
ot the lake by E. C. Sollnsky, park
superintendent, who also led the
party .on a short drive along the
rim, where new rim road construc
tion, was seen. The visiting offi
cial took a number of camera pic
tures and was deeply Impressed
with the beauty of the lake, seen
under a bright sun and clear sky.
' Airport Praised
Mr. Glover several times express
ed his appreciation that Medford
had developed nuch a good airport
for the amount of money expended,
and he also said that the air mall
service was progressing by leapa
and bounds tbroughout the nation.
The more he traveled by plane, and
he has traveled extensively that
way, he says, the more he sees the
necessity ot broadening and ex
panding that service, especially by
feeder lines to existing airports
from territory that at present has
no direct air mall service, and
hence sees a need for feeder lines
from western and southern Oregon
c-itles to connect wlth-the Medford
Isvojrb ' i . .
Mr. Glover left Portland1' last
night by plane to attend another
postmasters' convention at Chey
enne, Wyo., and will visit various
other state postmasters' conven
tions en route back to Washington.

court agreed to this.
Harry O. Wortman told the court
that Wortman and Gore seven
years ago had dedicated a street

should be extended so that the
area could be developed. He said
