Killed at Her Party
Mary Monfrini Falls to Death
at Flag Raising She Planned

The gayety of service flag raising
festival was dampened last night to
residents in the block in West Thir-
ticth Street, between Seventh and
Eighth avenues, when Miss Mary Mon
frini, nineteen years old, fell from a
fire escape on the second floor of her
home, 248 West Thirtieth Street, to the
street while she was stringing Ian
terms. She suffered injuries which
caused hear death two hours later.
Three weeks ago the girl canvassed
the blocks for funds to raise a service
flag. She obtained sufficient money
and made arrangements with Frank L..
bowling, Borough President of Man
haitian, to speak, and with the COM
mander of the new 69th Regiment, New
York Guards, to have the band furnish
music. She was putting the finishing
touches to the decorations when she
fell.

Gilbert told the jury that he was

when he was naturalized and again
when he was admitted to the bar.
County Attorney Nohn asked Gill

crime of unlawful assemblage, in
answer to which Gilbert explained
that he was tried on that charge in
Lakefeld, Jackson county, and con-
victed in test case, the result of an

FLOWERS TO HONOR
MOTHERS ON SUNDAY

Red for the living and white in
memory Of the dead!
These are the colors by which men
of Bemidji and the nation on Sunday
will honor and revere the living
mothers and cherish the memory Of
those who have passed on. For Sun
day is Mothers day.
More than ever before are the
mothers of the land to be honOred.
Countless numbers have given their
only sons to be laid on the altar of
freedom, and in the hearts Of many
there is deep sorrow because their
boys have been included in the cas-
ualty lists from France. Yet like the
Mother of the Gracchi they are bear
ing their burdens without complaint.
In every home Sunday, Mother is
to be the queen, and all other men,
bers of the household are to be alb
iect servitors. The slightest wish
from her will be gratitied by men,
bers of the household.

EASTMAN REFUSES
TO RECANT STORY

Washington, May 11.-Forme er
Senator Thomas e. eastman of Owa-
tonna, a member of the Minnesota
Public Safety commission, has re-
turned the transcript Of his recent
testimony to the House agricultural
committee. He stood pat on the
declaration that the kaiser has been
given more aid and comfort in the
Northwest by the operation Of the
Federal grain standards than by
German propaganda.
Whether the committee will take
action of the testimony will be de-
cided1ater. Representative Rubey of
Missouri served notice at the time
that later he would ask that it be
censored by subcommittee before
going into the printed report Of the
hearing on Representative Ander-
sons bill to create a Federal grain
standards board.
It was hoped by some members
that Mr.. eastman would reverse his
testimony, thus making any action
by the committee unnecessary.

of such kind.

Of this letter to express to Ninth dis

of their Third Liberty Loan service

knows that all this would have been
impossible without the splendid sup
port Of the editors. You gave all
you had in the shop and then some.

them.
No man was more keenly alive to
and appreciative of this than A. r.

to write the editor special letter of
commendation until convinced that
all the editors were giving this same
unqualified support.

it takes money to pay the rent, oil

the news plate which went to the
junk pile and I turned to the cleo

thing was right for the night.
About 2:3O he was awakened by
the fire and found the mill a mass
of flames. He called in his neigh

from spreading. No insurance was
carried on the mill.
Mr.. Garner had only half of his
seasons cut finished when the mill
was destroyed. The loss to him
will be a heavy one. The lumber
in the yards was green and none of
it was burned.
