We Aaree with You.

The Arcadia News condemns Governor
Broward because he sends his daughter
TO be educated AZ StetsOn University
rather than at the State Female College
at Tallahassee. II seems 10 us that IN
purely personal and private family
matter like that, Governor BrOward or
any other citizen should be allowed 20
exercise his own choice and send his
daughter where he pleased without draw
ing newspaper criticism upon him. No
man, not even the Governor, is bound 10
account 10 the public for the manner in
which he exercises his discretion In his
family affairs, when therights of others
are not infringed. Live Oak Democrat.

As soon as there appeared any sign Of
life a bottle of ammonia was procured

boy. A hurry call was sent to the Fifth
Precinct police staron n the boy was
taken to the city Hospital.
When Pierson first started TO rescue the
lad Burk had gone down for the last time.
Looking into the water, he saw him lying
on the bottom OF the canal bed. With his
hook he caught hold of the boys clothing,
and in this manner pulled him to the sur
face. He was unconscious when gotten
out, and It was at first thought he was
dead.
Joseph Lucking. a coal dealer at PSI
Sussex avenue, aided in restoring the boy
to consciousness.
At the City Hospital this afternoon 1t

P I'D EN-
ASKS BIG CUT
IN ITS TAX
Claims Justification for Re.
quest for $4,000 900 De-
crease in RatabIeS.

According to Comptroller J. Wilbur
johnson, of the Prudential Insurance
Company, the city Tax Board is not
entitled to payment of tax upon 81, OOO,-
900 of ratables that was thought should
go the the Tax Board. The Prudential
is willing TO pay on IS, 800, 900, ain in
crease of more han $400. 900 over last
year.
The exemption claimed by the insur-
ance company is that under Section II
of the laws of 1907 1t must place $4,000
900 as a special reserve fund to answer
the requirements of the law, which are
as follows:
An act to require an annual apportlon-
ment and accounting Of surplus Of life in
surance companies.
BE 1t enacted by the Senate and General
Assembly of the State Of New Jersey;

the mutual plan or in which ~policyholders
are by the terms of their policies entitled
to share in the profits or surplus shall, on
all policies OF life insurance heretofore or
hereafter issued, under the conditions of
which the distribution of surplus Is de-
ferred to a fixed or specified time and
contingent upon the policy being In force
and the insured living at that time. an
nuallv ascertain the amount of surplus
to which all such policies as a separate
class are entitled, and shall annually APP
portion to such policies as a class the
amount of the surplus so ascertained, and
carry the amount of such apportioned sur
plus, plus the actual interest earnings and
accretions Of such fund, as a distinct and
Separate liability TO such class of policies

lated, and no or any OF Its Of
hcers shall be permitted to use any part
of such apportioned surplus fund for any
purpose whatsoever other than for the

accumulated.
The law Is one of those recon-
mended by the Senate insurance In

proved April Is of the present year.
The Tax Board is considering the point
made by the. Prudential Company.
1t is expected that a decision will be
arrived at in due time.
When the statement of the Pruden
tial was made to the Tax Board May
20 of this year, that body sent to the
department of banking and insurance

the company at the end of last year

KIMBALL ALARMED
FEARS CONVICT MAY TRY n
HARM HIM.
Burdick, Imprisoned for Assaulting
Wife of Children's Aid superinten-
dent, Thought to Be Here.

Fearing that he and his family are in
danger of bodily harm at the hands OF a
man who he caused to be sent to prison
and who has but lately been released, Jared
w. Kimball. superintendent OF the Chill
dren's Aid Society. at 247 Mulberry street,
has asked the police to look for one Will
lam Burdick.
Three years ago the man entered the
rooms Of the society and attacked the
Kimball family, seriously i~njuring Mrs.
kimball. and for some time 1t was thought
that she would not survive her injuries.
The mnn was sentenced to serve two
years in the Caldwell penitentiary for. the
assault. He was released Saturday. While
IN prison he vowed vengeance on the KIM
balls. and it is said that since his release
lie has repeated his threats.
In 1903 Mr.. l<imball had occasion several
times TO severely lecture Burdick
Tor neglect Of his little girl. Finally the
child was placed in the hands OF her aunt
and Mr.. kimball forgot all about Burdiek.
one night when he was sitting In the So
cietNs rooms with his wife and sister-fn-
law. Burdick entered drunk and proceeded
10 beat up the members of the family and
the two servants. Before Mr.. Kimban
could eject him from the house, his wife
hSu been rendered unconscious and every
one Of the others bore marks of the FRAY.
Burdick was sentenced to eighteen
months, and an extra 1870 days. in default
of cost of court. Before he was sent to
the pe%nitentiary he made loud threats Of
wha he would do with Kimball when he
got out. In the prison, serving his term.
he continued his threats. These came To
the ears of Warden John Desch and he
communicated with Mr.. Kimball The
latter requested that he be notified when
the man was discharged. Accordingly,
Mr.. Kimball received word from thx
warden. last week, that Burdick would
be discharged on the Fourth. They held
him over at the penitentiary, however.
till Saturday.
Burdick evidently came immediately
TO Newark and has been seen hanging
about the society building for the past
two days. Mr.. Kimball has been on the
lookout for him ever since his discharge.
and has taken precautlon against being
taken unawares.
1t is said that yesterday morning, after
a sleepless night watching for the mans
appearance, Kimbnll discovered a note
under the front door threatening him with
all manner of harm and warning him to
be on the lookout. The note was signed
by Burdick, so the story ran. When MIR.
Kimball was asked to confirm this report,
last night, he denied that he had received
such a note. He said, however, that he
was on the lookout for Burdick. Burdick
is an unnaturalized Englishman.

ARREST MALE FRIEND
OF LAURA CARTER.
Police Think He Knows Something
About Missing $25, 900 from Funds
Stolen by Runyan.

NEW YORK. July 10.-The police ar
rested yesterday Harry Kirkstein on the
theory that he might be able to tell
something about the $25, 900 which is
missing from the $3.50 0 which Chester
b. Runyan stole from the Windsor
Trust Company.
Kirkstein said that he had known
Laura Carter, who betrayed Runyan to
the police, for some time. Shortly be-
fore Runyan stole the money, he said,
he left her at her. request. All the
time, however, she kept In communi-
cation with him. He says he was pres
ent when she deposited $1,000 in the
Garfield Safe Deposit Company. On
the night Of July 4, he says, she tele-
phoned to him at Coney Island, where
he was then living, and said that she
wanted to see him at Thirty-first street
and Fifth avenue the following day.
He met her and she was very much ex-
cited.
She told him that she had recognized
Runyan as the man who had stolen
$50, 900 from the Windsor Trust Com
pany, and wanted to know what she
should do. He told her, he says, that
she should tell the police or the trust
company officials. She said she would
take that advice and said she was go
ing to return the $4,000 to Runyan. He
says he went to the safe deposit COM
pany and saw her take the money out.
Kirkstein said that he had not had a
letter from Laura Carter since June 30.
According to Mary Duncan, who was
employed as a servant by the Carter
woman, she gave to Kirkstein on the
night of July 2 a fat envelope that
felt like money"
The police believe that they are not
getting a straight story from either the
woman or Kirkstein, and after he had
been questioned by Assistant District
Attorney Corrigan he was locked up at
police headquarters on q charge or re-
ceiving stolen goods.
Florence Wood, sister of laura Car
ter, has been arrested in Chicago on the
theory that some of the lost money Is
in her possession.
The Wood woman was taken in by
the Chicago police at the request OF
Acting Inspector McCafferty. She was
found in a fashionable clearinghouse
in Michigan avenue and readily adj
mitted her identity. She declared that
she had not got one cent of Runyan's
money and would come to New York
