FIGHT
HOUR AND A HALF
Start With Pistols, but After Two
Misses Each They Use Swords
To the Finish

Paris.-A duel worthy of the great
est days and the greatest exponents
of the art was fought this morning
in corner of the Pare des Princes,
which itself is part of the Bois de
Boulogne. It lasted an hour and a
half and was fought first with pistols
and then with swords. Between them
the duelists registered six wounds be-
fore the end was forced by one of
them being wounded so deeply in the
arm that he could not any longer
hold his sword.
The two duelists were M. LIE Comte
de Poret and Camille la Fargo. Dis
cretion and the rules of the game do
not allow mention of the cause of
the quarrel but it may be said that
it was particularly grave.
The meeting was called for $50
o'clock this morning. Pistols were
selected. AS a matter of precaution,
one of the four seconds, however,
brought along a pair of fencing
swords, and it was fortunate he did.
The etiquette of the affair was par
ticularly we'll observed and, in the
proper parlance, four. balls were ex-
changed. In plain language, each
duelist took two shots at the. other
at distance Of sixty feet and miss
ed each time. The duel was, accord
ing to the proper language, therefore
without result.
But the grave matter over which
the two gentlemen had met could not
be settled so tamely. The suggestion
was made and immediately accepted
that it should be continued With
swords, and, to make sure of good
footing, the party adjourned to a
running track on which most of Par
ISIS foot races are held. Both men are
excellent swordsmen and were well
matched; '.,':',., H.. f.<.. a..
Twice NJ. la Fargo was pricked
near the right shoulder, but. he con-
tinued. Count de P!oret was in turn
thrice wounded in the arm, and still
he fought on. His fourth injury was
unlucky. His opponents sword went
almost through his forearm, and, be-
ing unable to hold his sword, he re-
tired from the fight with tears in his
eyes. ! .~ .

SUBWAY GUARD
UP FOR FLIRTING
Persisted In Annoying Woman On
Station Platform And
Later in Train

New York.-Magistrate Jesse
Silberman, in Jefferson Market
Court yesterday sentenced an Inter.
borough subway guard to- thirty days
in the workhouse for insulting, 'wo-
man passenger.
"When apssengers are open to in
suit from any ruffian, and particu-
larry from a guard employed by the
subway company and is supposed to
protect the public, it is time that
some drastic action was taken," de-
clared the Magistrate. :
"The fact that the guard was not
on duty makes no difference and the
statement Of the complainant that
he tried to get the guard of the car
to call a policeman and that the
guard refused, according to the COM
plainant's statement, makes the mat
ter all the more serious. Thirty days
is not too long time for that young
man to think things over and learn
just what an insult to a woman is:
: The complainant was Frederick
L. Cook of 225 West Eleventh
Street. The guard was William Nor
rison, No. 1888, who said he lived at
214 Twelfth Street, Jersey City. Ac-
cording to. the testimony, Cook and
his wife were returning from a
dance on Saturday night and had
entered the Columbia Circle sta
ton of the subway. Mr.. Cook had
walked away from his wife to find
out when the next train would ar
rive, when Morrison, off duty and
not in uniform, approached her and
asked her if she was with that
guy" indicating the husband. Mrs.
Cook said that he persisted in his
attentions until her husband return
ed. Words led to blSws and Morri-
son struck Cook in the right eye.
: When the train pulled in all got
on board including two or three men
friends of Morrison. According to
the testimony Of both the husband
and wife, Morrison continued to an
,noy them, and Cook asked the train
guard to stop the train and call a
policeman. He testified that the
guard refused. Cook then pushed
Morrison into the vestibule and made
him get off with them at the Christie
pher Street station. v
Patrolman John w. Kissinger of
the Charles Street Station was call
ed and placed Morrison under ar
rest.
When asked what he had to say,
Morrison remarked: 81 did not in
suit her, your Honor. All asked her
if she was alone or if he-point-
ing to the husband taking her
home" ,..
"You never saw her before?"
asked the Magistrate.
"No sir" mumbled Morrison.i
81 don't know what you call an
insult, but thirty days in the Work
house may give you time to find

in the production of peanuts. Pea
nut "farms" lin Shantung are small
plats of ground, often not over two
acres in area. Yet from the produce
of small plats like this a chinese far
mer secures a living not only for him
self and family, but occasionally
gives his sons a college education.
This is all the more remarkable in
that most Chinese farmers use only
primitive methods of cultivation.
The peanut business in Shantung
has largely been taken over by the
Japanese as the successors of the
Germans. japanese traders at Using
tau annually export large quantities
of peanuts and peanut oil to the
United States by way of Kobe ano
other japanese ports. Kobe has con-
sequently come: to be considered one
of the leading peanut and peanut oil
markets Of the Far East. Japan ex.
