CITY CINCH FOR U. I. co,
Continued from First Page, ,

Total .........$ 17.56 $15.69 $23 25 As has already been pointed out the ngure S33.25 does not include allowance for depreciation. or taxes, both of which are included in the figure used for comparison.
 Another interesting opportunity for figures furnished by Mr. English oc- CUTS in considering the margin of profit which appears upon each lamp
 It cost in 1909 to produce each mitted by MT English s77s6. The city pays for each lamp $79.75. The profit on each lamp is therefore but S2-09. The total profit from the Bridge port arc lighting is therefore but $1.- 2S53 " Upon these figures where does the company get it's dividends and the sums necessary to pay interest to the profit sharers who own its bonds?
 According to Moody's Directory - Corporations for 1909 the United Illumtnating Company has outstanding Sl. .000. 900 in stock, upon which it pays a dividend of per cent. and since 1904 an extra dividend of per cent annually. This profit is $S0OOO. It has outstanding. according to the same authority $1.625,000. in four per cent. bonds. An additional $65. GOO in profits IS necessary to pay the interest on these bonds: To meet interest and dividends a total of s145O00 in profits is necessary. Yet the company claims to make but a scant $1 300 on it's arc lighting arrangement with Bridgeport
 All the profits of the company are obtained from the populations of New Haven and Bridgeport and the towns between. Does the company charge private consumers at such a rate as to take its entire profits from them Are the private consumers in Bridge port charged for profits something like SSO, 900 per annum. while the city pays but N,2S5.35?

For moment Frederic Larsan paus- ed--a moment that appeared to us

 when 1t was most easy for him to do so--at the moment when it became
 most explainable--so completely ex-
 plainable that there can be no other explanation. Let us go over the mo. ments which followed after the crime bad been committed. There was the nrst moment, when M. Stangerson and Daddy Jacques were close to the door ready to bar the way. There was the second moment. during which Daddy Jacques was absent aud NJ, Stangerson was left alone before the door, There was third moment. when M. Stangerson was joined by the concierge. There was fourth mo- ment, during which NJ. Stangerson the concierge and his wife and Daddy Jacques were before the door. There was fifth moment, during which the door was burst open and the yellow room entered. The moment at which the flight Is explainable is the very mo- ment when there was the least number or persons before the door. There was one moment when there was but one person--M. Stangerson. Unless a com piicity of silence on the part of Daddy Jacques is admitted--in which do not believe--the door was opened in the presence of M. Stangerson alone. and the man escaped.
 Here we must admit that M. Stan gerson had powerful reasons for not arresting or not causing the arrest of the murderer, since he allowed him to reach the window In the vestibulc and closed It after him. That done, Mile. Stangerson. though horribly wounded, had still strength enough, and DO doubt in obedience to the entreaties of her father. to refasten the door of her chamber with both the bolt and the lock before sinking on the floor.
