Know More About Electricity.

During ten years the output of the
electric generating planN-has nearly
trebled, but the number Of accidents
has remained the same. An increase
would be naturally looked for, but
this seems to indicate that many Of
the accidents of the earlier years were
due to ignorance or carelessness,
which is now avoided by a greater
knowledge Of the use Of electricity
and electrical machinery.

Woman Presents Fund for Equity Jurisprudence Professor
TWO ARE MADE PROFESSORS
Gift of $1o,ooo Announced for Divinity School-Miss Emily F. Southmayd of New York City Makes En-
 doWment in Memoriam.

New Haven.-The gift of $125, 900 as the endowment for a chair of equity Jurisprudence in the Yale Law Schoo. a sum larger than has in the past been given as the sum for endowing a chair at Yale, was the most significant announcement made at the conclusion of the meeting of the Yale corpora tion. The gift comes from Miss Emily F. Southmayd. of New York City, in memory of her brother, Charles F. Southmayd. In connection with the Southmayd gift, the official announce ment says MT. Southmayd, who did not receive a college education, was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from Yale in 1884. Several Yale in the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries. MT. Southmayd was partner of Joseph H. Choate and of William M. Evarts, and during his lifetime was considered one of the most eminent members of the American bar. By provision of the donor, any surplus of income derived from the fund is to be devoted to the purchase of books for the library of the Law School. This endowment will not only add much to the growing strength of the school, but will set a standard for the endowment of pro fessors' salaries at the university. This has in the past been considered $100, 900, but now that salaries of many heads of departments have been placed at 5000 year, the old en- dowment basis has been found made quate" The Divinity School has been given by an anonymous donor fund of $10,000, to be known as the Jessie Wheeler Benedict Fund. This is sub ject to an annuity, but is ultimately to be used for the general purposes of the department. Another very much appreciated gift is an autograph let ter of Nathan Hale, who graduated from Yale in the class of 1773. This letter sold at auction in Philadelphia last week for s1,500, and was par chased by MT. Walter Jennings, of the class of 1880, and presented to the university. These faculty appoint ments were announced: To be pro lessor of philosophy in the college William Ernest Hooking To be pro lessor of political economy-Fred Rog- CTS Fairchild.

Slayer of s anford White Paid S25,000 on Pardon Promise
jll GOO OF BRIBE RETURNED
Declares That Brokers" Demanded More Money from Whites Slayer, and Then, When Sulzer Took
 Office, Returned 1000.

Albany, N. Y.-That Harry K. Thaw. who has been confined for five years in Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminal Insane for the killing of Stanford White, paid $25,000 to a prison ring which conducted broker age business in pardons. last Deeem- Der for his release from Matteawan, was charged by William F. Clark, sec ret2ry of the Sulzer Committee of h. Quiry.
 He further testified that the par don ring" became ayaricious at receiy- ing the $25,000 so easy, and straight way raised the ante," that Thaw de- murred at paying more, and then Gov srnor Sulzer took office. The ring" thereupon became cautious, returned $1I GOO of the $25,0 release fee, and assured the insane prisoner that he could not be liberated for at least six months.
 Dr. John R. Russell, superintendent of Matteawan State Hospital of the Criminal Insane, admitted to the in- quiry committee that he had suggested to Thaw that he retain John F. Anhut, New York lawyer, as his attorney ID his fight for freedom. Dr. Russell also admitted that he knew of $2O,000 brihe offered to help Thaw to get out, and said he told Colonel Scott, super intendent of prisons, of the case. Scott explained his inertia in the at tempted bribery by the fact that he had not enough evidence to convict the would-be bribers. Dr. Russell ex- cused his recommendation of Anhut to Thaw by declaring that Dr. Lamb, his predecessor, had lost his place be- cause he was inimical to the wealthy inmate, and he did not want to follow in Dr Lambs footsteps.
 Chairman Carlisle said, after the hearing. that it would have been easy for Thaw to foresee that man recon mended by Russell would be good one to approach Dr. Russell with bribe offer.
 Secretary Clark told of the prison ring which operated under Governor Dix to obtain pardons and which planned to do the same thing under Governor Sulzer until they got scared and had the story of his use of the Governors name written up. MT Clark declared that "Thaw was only meal ticket" for the ring He claimed that Thaw would have been | released from Matteawan last Decem-
 Der but for the cupidity of the ring, ;"
 whose members not only got $25,O0O to release him, but went to make an other tonch," and when the money was
 not forthcoming kept him in prison
 MT. Clark refused to give to the
 committee the name of his informants,
 but said that if Thaw, Detective Hoff-
 man and Thaw's bank books and pa
 pers were examined by the committee.
 ais story would be proved
 Mr. Clark said he told Governor
 salzer of the pardon ring" and was
 asked to investigate it. He said that
 he discovered that Dr. Russell sug-
 ses'eo lawyer to Thaw, and that the
 alleged maniac paid over s25,o0o.
