remembered that the public is not so
much Interested In the dividends that
shall be paid to the stockholders as they
are In the surpluscs, which shall give
TO the company fair credit and enable
it to keep its service up to the public's
reasonable requirements.
Tho Issue between the president OF
the company and its directors as to
whether or not the formers compcn-
sation is too large is not one which
affects the public 1t might be thought
that any one who had raised u COM
panv from n large losing proposition
to a dividend paying concern, and had
so met its public requirements as to
increase its customers 100 per cent
was worth even more than the present
compensation. There would probably
be many a stockholder who. during the
lean years, had received no compcn-
sation for tho money invested who
would have been willing to have paid
moro for such n successful manage
ment. Efforts are judged by the meas
ure of success achieved. and surely
in the present case, the measure was
large beyond most expectations. and
the people have enjoyed better scrv-
ice by reason Of these efforts.

Prisoners Told Slayer, in for
Ten Years, He Would
Have to Die.
DESCRIBED HIS. AGONIES
Taraichi SOefuma, Raving in
Handouts and Leg Irons,
Taken to Dannemora.

Taraichi Soefuma killed a man about
year ago, but there were extenuating
circumstances and he was convicted
only OF manslaughter and sent to Sing
Sing for, ten years. He considered
himself fortunate. He felt he could
serve that sentence, as the saying is,
standing on his head"
Six months ago Soefuma went into
Sing Sing. and yesterday he went out
a raving maniac in handouts and leg
irons. He went out because he had
become so violently and so dangerously
insane that he could no longer be kept
in the prison. They sent him to Dam
nemora, and the physicians at Sing
Sing believe he will stay there for the
remainder of his life.
Soefuma went out as he did because
the other convicts played joke on him.
They told him a few days after he got
there that the Judge had fooled him
that after little while the guards would
come some night and sneak him into the
death chamber and set him in the cleo
trio chair and he would die They saw
that this affected the man and they in
creased the flavor Of their joke They
enlarged upon their jest They painted
terrifying pictures of the death chair
Over and over again they told him how
he would kick and plunge and groan
when the current was turned on.
They never let him rest Every day
some OF the jokers pictured to Soefuma
the terrors of the chair. and one day
last week he refused to take his seat at
the mess table because It seemed to him
the bench suddenly developed a back
and became wired for electricity. and
alongside 1t lay the electrodes and above
II the death cap.
he began to rave and guards took
him back to his cell But the cot had
become an electric chair. too. and the
bars OF the door were currents of cleo
tricity that leaped out at him in the
darkness of the night.
Every night for a week the jokers
could hear Soefuma raving and crying
out that the cot was a death chair and
the iron bars biting currents of cleo
tricity. The keeper who came along
the corridor became the man to take
him to the chair: the music OF the band
and the orchestra on afternoons became
the death march. And two nights ago
Soefuma became so insane that he be-
gan to butt his head against the stone
and steel OF his cell. crying out that he
could not die In the electric chair. Dr.
Amos o. Squire decided nothing further
could be done for him at Sing Sing.
So yesterday Taraichi went out Many
of the men who had played the Joke saw
him go, shackled and handcuffed, raving
and gibbering.
But they did not laugh

SEEN ON FIRE ESCAPE

Andrew Karo. the nine year old son
Of John Karo of 523 Sixth street. was
rescued by the police of the East
Fifth street station last night after
his father had kept him in chains
since last Wednesday night. Accord
ing to the boy and his sisters. Helen
IL, and Julia. s, Andrew was forced
to keep the chains on night and day
and had to sleep In his clothes. Wher
the police found him he lay In 9
corner with chain about yard
long wrapped around his ankles and
the ends secured with paddock.
The police knew nothing OF the boy
in chains until late last night when
some one telephoned to Lieut. Patrick
Diman and told him that boy was
chained and padlocked to the fire
escape on the third floor rear of the
Sixth street address. Sergt. William
Burns and Patrolmen Harry Raphael
and William Wittenberg went to the
house. Raphael went to the back and
found the fire escape, and Sergt.

all that they could see at first, but
finally Sergt. Burns made out an object
In corner. 1t was the boy, with the
chains wrapped about his legs.
Patrolman Raphael came in through
the fire escape window a few moments
later and said that when he started to
climb UP the boy was on the escape, but
had run back into the apartment. The
chains were affixed to the boys legs in
such manner that he could i1obble, but
only move a few inches at a time. His
sisters told the police that their father
let him out on the fire scape two or
three times day for air. usually at
night when the neighbors would not be
apt to be looking.
karo denied the stories OF his son and
two daughters. He admitted that 1t was
last Wednesday morning that he chained
and padlocked his son. but he said that
at night the boy was released. Andrew,
however. told the police that he had
to sleep In his clothing because he
was not able to get his trousers of over

Mr.. Frayne. the New York State

Syracuse, n. y, Sept 11.-With
all of the leading grand circuit
drivers here except the veteran
Geers, the Syracuse meeting opened
today. Honors in the opening pro-
gram consisting of three class
events each, for 81 900 purses, were

Mcdonald, with Dottie Day, had
an easy time in the 2:09 class trot,
winning three straight heats and
making the best time of the day,
2:O51s. Murphy drove Plain Mac
to decisive victory in the second
event, the 2:15 class trot, winning
in straight heats.
The third event furnished the
most spectacular driving of the
day, when d. M. Maloney, Ray
driving, came back strong to win
after trailing in the first heat. A
