Ma,y be Divorced WifeofGlavis Woman Who Tries to Commit Suicide on Ferry Boat Said to Be For merly of Portland. fONITID P HI Mil Uittim tm 8an Francisco, Aug. 12. By request or ino uakland authorities, San Fran cisco police today are trying to confirm a report that Miss Eleanor Fay, a young woman wno attempted suicide by swal lowing poison last night on a ferry boat, is tho divorced wife of Louis R. Glavis, of Portland, former chief of the field division of the Unftod States gen eral land office and former of the California fttlLtA nnnani-iraf Inn commission. Tightly grasped in the woman's hand was a note which read: "Louis, you wronged me. Your life ought to be happy at the expense of mine. Burn my body. Don't tell the folks." At an Oakland hospital the woman was resuscitated sufficiently to state that she had come to California from Portland, Or., a year ago and for a time had lived in Sacramento. She will recover. Denies She Is Mrs. Glavis. Oakland, Cal., Aug. 12. Miss Elea nor Fya, a San Francisco stenographer. who attempted suicide on a ferry boat coming from San Francisco to Oakland, and left a note addressed to Louis B. Olavis, will recover from the effects of the carbolic acid taken, according to officials at the Emergency hospital here today. When questioned this morning tho girl denied that she had ever been married to Glavis, and denied that she had ever said that Glavis was her hus band. The physicians at the hosnital. who" treated her when she was first brought here, are firm in their state- ent that at first she claimed to be Mrs. Glavis. Miss Fay said today that Glavis had accompanied her on the boat, and that he was on board the ferry when she took the poison. This statement was made to Miss McMannis, a nurse at the Emergency hospital, according to the latter. Tho girl said Glavis had left her and taken the train for Portland. Oro., from the Oakland mole, where the boat landed. MiBs Fay refused to say whether Glavis had assisted in earing for her after sho had swallowed the poison.
