OSSINING, N. Y, February 2O-Frank
Rimieri, who murdered Jaco Pinto, a Brook
lyn junk dealer, and Adolph Koenig, who
strangled Mrs. Mary Kaufman to death at
hec home in New York, were put to death
in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison
today. Both executions We're carried out
without incident. Within twenty minutes
of the time Rimieri, who first went to the
chair was pronounced dead, Koenig had
paid the penalty of his crime. Two shocks
were given in each case.
Rimieri and Pinto were rival junk dealers
in Brooklyn, and the murder of the latter
was the result of a quarrel over the own
ership of quantity of old bottles. Ri
mieri shot Pinto the latter was going
home from his place of business with his
wife and child.
The crime for which Koenig paid the
penalty today was committed in May of
last year He had lived with Mrs. Kauff-
man In West 10th street house for several
weeks. On the night of the murder the
couple had been drinking heavily, and when
the woman refused Koenig money which
he demanded he became angry and
strangled her to death. He then attempted
to end his life by driving knife into his
abdomen, but recovered after several
weeks.
Albert T. Patrick the lawyer who is in
prison under sentence of death for the
murder of William Marsh Rice. had
quested that the body of Koenig be EN-

WILL SOON SELL BONDS.
A Circular Inviting Bids to Be Issued
by Secretary Taft.

After consulting by cable Governor Cen
eral Luke Wright at Manila, Secretary
Taft has decided to take advantage I'M
mediately of the provision of the Cooper
bill authorizing the issue of bonds to de-
fray the cost of public works In the Phil
ippines and circular will soon be issued
inviting subscriptions. 1t is the purpose to
issue $2,3C0000 of these bonds, bearing 4
per cent interest, and they will be known as
1O-30's that is, they may be redeemed by
the Philippine government at the end Of
ten years from the date of issue, while
they must be redeemed arbitrarily at the
end of thirty years. AS the new bonds will
probably be given the same privileges as to
use by national banks i'll the United States
as are enjoyed by the outstanding bonds
issued to place the island circulation on a
gold basis, while they will have the i'm
portant additional value of long term, the
department officials expect that they will
bring good price in the market.
Three million dollars worth of the cur
rency bonds referred to above fall due
May l next, and 1t is the present intention
of the authorities to pay them off in cash.
