FOUGHT TO DUPLICATE
A LITERARY BATTLE
Court Refuses to Consider Noble Aim
and Fines Participants

John Chrystle, Edward Chrystle and
Savarin Zodet. farceurs of more than
ordinary merit. paid s5 each in the
municipal court yesterday for their
realism in a public rehearsal.
Chrystle the elder wanted to know
whether Zodet had ever read "Mr. Mid
shipman Easy" the question arising
out of prior discussion relating to
three-handed fights. Zodet insisted
that no three-handed fight could pos
sibly be fair fight for any of the
party involved, whereas Chrystle Sr.
pointed out where in the famous novel
above mentioned Mr.. Easy, Mr.
Easthup and Mr.. Biggs all got a run
for their money in a three-cornered
argument, each gentleman proclaiming
himself satisfied
1t was in the effort to elucidate pre-
cisely what happened to the midship-
man, the purser and the boatswain
that Messrs. Chrystle. and Zodet be-
came entangled. A patrolman, refus-
ing to recognize the literary quality of
the dispute, threw the trio in. The
fines were paid without protest.

kREISLER'S SUCCESS
DUE TO ART ALONE
violinist Affects No Bizarre Qualities
to Attract the Public

Since Fritz Kreisler, who comes to
ST. Paul this evening in a recital with
Josef Hofmann at the Park Congre-
gational church, is very stunning per-
sonally, the following comment on his
appearance, which appeared in one of
the Boston papers recently, will be in
teresting: "Kreisler is tall and well
formed. with manly and dignified
bearing. He has a finely shaped head.
crowned with an amplitude but not
superabundance of glossy black hair.
and before beginning to play he holds
himself very erect, with an air that rs
almost naughty. With the first tones
of the instrument, however, every
trace of frigidity disappears and he
becomes at once on the most friendly
terms with his violin, thoroughly ami
mated with the spirit of the music he
is yoicing and in close sympathy and
touch with his hearers. He has no
striking mannerisms; he makes no ap-
peals. through eccentricities or bizarre
methods; manliness, refinement and
cultivation are reflected from him at
all times, and artistic simplicity and
sincerity stamp every movement of his
playing. These qualities at once ap-
peal TO his hearers"

MRS. MONFORT DEAD
Pioneer Woman Succumbs to
Long Illness

Mary Edgerton Monfort, widow of
Delos A. Monfort, died last night at the
home of her son, Frederick ID. Monfort,
354 Summit avenue, after long i'll
ness. She was a pioneer of Mime
sofa, first reaching this state in 1854,
when she came out on a visit from
her native place in Delaware county,
New York.
A few years later she made another
visit and in 1860 moved here perma-
nently- She traced her lineage direct to
Gov. William Bradford, who came to
America in the Mayfiower in 1920. In
her ancestral tree are the names Of
many distinguished patriots of colonial
and revolutionary times, and as a con-
sequence she bore a prominent part in
the organizations of the Colonial Danes
and Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. In the latter body she had
been regent of the st. Paul chapter,
state regent Of Minnesota and at the
time of her death she was honorary
state regent.
She was a member of the House of
Hope Presbyterian church and had
been communicant in that church for
forty-five years.
Her brother, Erastus S. Edgerton,
was one of the first bankers OF st.
Paul, having already established a bank
in combination with c. U. Mackubin
when she came out on her visit. She
met her late husband in st. Paul, he
having been called to the position Of
cashier of the new bank. That insti-
tuition later became the Second Ma
-tional, of which her son, Frederick d.
Monfort, is vice president.
Mrs. Monfort was a noted patron of
art and served many years as president
of the st. Paul School of Fine Arts.
She only resigned this post recently on
account of falling health. Socially she
was leader and her pleasant manners
made her beloved by an unusually
large circle of friends.
Mrs. Edward II. Gheen, wife of Rear
Admiral Gheen of the United States
navy, retired, is the surviving daugh-
ter of Mrs. Monfort.
Mrs. Monfort had been ailing for
about a year, but her condition was
not considered serious until three weeks
ago, when she began to fail. Her mall
ady was gradual hardening of the
arteries and was uncomfortable. No
arrangements have yet been made for
the funeral

NEWS OF THE CITY
DEBTS DRIVE MAN
TO TAKE HIS LIFE
Despondent SaIoOnkeeperFires
Bullet Through Mouth
Into Brain

Because he had spent all his money
and was unable to meet his bills, JOS
eph KretZius, aged 81, a saloonkeeper,
shot himself through the head in
rear room of his saloon at 1857 West
Seventh street last night, dying almost
instantly.
The following note found on table
in the room, addressed to his mother,
showed that he was brooding over
financial troubles The note read:
my Dear Mother: Your son is driv-
en- to despair. 1 have so many debts
that cannot pay them. l hope you
will, for they must be paid. l owe SIS
for my board and will have to leave
that unpaid. Goodby, mother, and tell
my friends at New Prague goodby for
me. joe.
KretZius had been despondent for
over a week and was frequently heard
to threaten to kill himself by his part
ner, Charles KostohriZ. Last night,
while KostohriZ was at supper, Kret-
Zius sent out after some writing pa
per and Immediately after it was deliv-
cred left the saloon in charge Of the
bartender and retired to a rear room.
About ten minutes later shot was
heard and rushing to the room the bar
tender discovered KretZius sitting in
chair with a stream of blood flowing
from his mouth and smoking revolver
clutched in his right hand.
The police ambulance was called and
when Police Surgeon Moore arrived
the man was dead. He had placed the
muzzle of a 32-caliber revolver in his
mouth and then pulled the trigger. The
ball passed through portion of the
brain, lodging in the upper outside wall
of the skull. The body was taken to
the county morgue, where 1t will be
held until the relatives are heard from.
Sunday afternoon the man burned all
his insurance policies, which were
made payable to his mother, as he
knew she would be unable to collect the
premiums-if he killed himself. Charles
Kostohriz his partner, says Kretzius
affairs were in bad shape and that he
had spent a great deal of money on
some woman. Kretzius had been stay
ing at the home of Thomas E. Regan,
1855 West Seventh street, and owed a
bill of SIS. He was unmarried and had
only been in business in the city for a
little over three months, his home be-
ing at New Prague, MINI.

With a comfortable and well-nour-

Hospitable as PossibIe-State to
Bear the Expense of Entertaining.

Preparations for the peace confer

faclcrily, and by August 5, the day on
which the plenipotentiarie are ex-
pected to reach Portsmouth. N. H.,
from Oyster Bay on board the May
flower and the Dolphin. all will be in
readiness for their reception. The
Washington government and the state
of New Hampshire are cooperating in
the effort to make the surroundings of
the conference as hOspitable as posi-
BILE, and are receiving generous assist
ance from the people of Portsmouth
and the adjacent villages of Kirrery,
Maine, where the navy yard is located,
and New Castle. N. H.. near which
the plenipotentiaries will have quar-
tiers in the Hotel Wentworth.
Mr.. Pierce, the third assistant secre-
tary of state, who is acting for the
president in directing arrangements,
is in Washington, where he will pro-
vide for the shipment of the necessary
material for the equipment of the
navy general store, which is to be
used for the sessions of the confer
ence AS this equipment will be of
no use to the government after the
conference is over, it will be rented.
The tentative program provides that
the plenipotentiaries shall arrive at
the navy yard and go at once to the
commandant to pay their aspects. The
arrival of the two missions will be
heralded by the firing of an ambassa-
dorial salute for each mission.
The marine guard, which has re-
Gently been increased, will render the
prescribed salutes and may escort the
party from the navy yard through the
town of Portsmouth to their quarters,
distance of about five miles. AS the
navy yard is on the Maine side of the
Piscataqua river, the governor of New
Hampshire will probably receive the
plenipOtentiaries in Portsmouth and
formally welcome them to the state.
He will at the same time extend to
the state on a tour of the New Hamp-
shire mountains upon the conclusion
of the negotiations. The state of New
Hampshire has already requested per-
mission to bear the expense of enter
tanning the plenipotentiaries through
out the conference. which will prob
ably be granted, the Washington gov
eminent undertaking the entire ex-
pense of the equipment of the quar-
tiers for the conference.
The ENJOYS will be taken to the
navy yard, when the weather is fair,
in launches to be supplied by the
navy. Automobiles and carriages will
take them around through Ports
mouth, distance of about five miles,
when the weather is not propitious or
when they prefer this trip to the ride
by water.
