Since the Electric Chair Haa
Been In Vogue In
That State.
Special to the Dally News.
?NBW YORK, Aug. 10.?Twentytwo'yearsago
this week, on'August
I. 1890, William Kemmler, a condemned
murderer, was put to death
in*the electric chair In Auburn prison.
Kemmler was the first person
to be legally executed by electrloity
In the United States and hit case was
the subject of wide discussion at the
time. The action of Near York in
substituting the electric chair for the
galldws ha* been found generally sat^
lafactory and l^er example haa been
F^V followed by Ohio. Virginta. South
y Carolina, Massachusetts, and Kentucky,
and New Jersey.
Since (he elocution of Kemmler
there have'leen 154 persons put to
death In the electric chair in New
York. The State prison authorities
estimate that it cost about 1400 pec
individual to carry out (he capital
punishment mandate. On the basis
of this estimate New York SUte has
expended about 186,000 for electrocutions
slued' that form of Inflicting
the death penalty was Introduced.
Several .times the electric ebalr at
Sing Sing has had two victims In one
day, and oh oae Occasion a short time

But never has there been such a
wholesale execution of death sentences
imposed on prisoners In this State
as Is scheduled to take place In Bin*
Sing next week. Nine men are to
?v die qn the same day, and In aa rapid
accession as they can be led to the

VIENNA, Aug. 10.?Tomorrov
Ferdinand 1- will round out a quar
ter of a century as ruler of Bulgaria
The anniversary recalls much that ii
of interest. It also serves to show
that political prophecies often gt
wide of iue mark.
Twenty-live years ago last montt:
there came to Vienna a Bulgarian
statesman, II. Stoiloff envoy oi
Stamboulolf, the dictator. Stoilofl
was searching for a prince who would
deign to accept the Bulgarian crown
The offer Wfci not very tempting. The
fate that befell the unhappy Alexander
of Battcnberg, the first prince
of Bulgaria, made It hard to find hie
successor.
After several.princes had been approached
without success. Stambouloff
and Stoiloff thought of the
Coburgs, who had already furnished
several kings. So Stoiloff journeyed
to Ebenthal, near Vienna, and appealed
to the youngest, cleverest, and
most attractive of the Coburgs,
Prince Ferdinand. His mother Princess
Clementine, was a daughter of
Louis Phillippe. Ferdinand was a
lephew of the king of the Belgians
ind related to the queen of England
ind Portugal.
Prince Ferdinand was then twenty-1
ix. He was well aware of the dangts
his acceptance would Involve.
Jut he saw in young Bulgaria an I
tnormous force, which, if he could I
Urect and control it, might work

ind Path in himself. He accepted,
ind on August 11, 1S87, he assumed J
he reins of government.
The young Prince had an uphill |
ight. The confirmation of hiB Belec-|
ion by the Powers and of his elec-l
ion by the Bulgarian national assemJ
>ly was onlj secured from the Porte|
ifter the most humiliating restriction
lad been placed upon him. It was|
be understanding that he was to renain

ind that the state of his country?

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.?The Mutational
disclosures in connection
with the Rosenthal murder do not relect
particular credit upon the police
lepartment of New York City and it
s not surprising that the citizens, or
it least the better classes, are
thoroughly aroused by the scandal.
If anything was needed completely
to undermine public confidence in
the police organization of the city,
the Rosenthal murder case has more
than supplied what was lacking. It
had been stated repeatedly by men
sf high standing in the community
that the police organization of the
city was in league with the criminal
elements, giving them protection in
return for blackmail contributions:
but the optlmist8. which always contaitute
a majority of the citizens
were inclined to believe that these
grave accusations against the police
but disclose a condition of {almost
unbelievable corruption permeating
the entire police organization. Of
course, that does not mean that every
member of the police force Is corrupt
and a grafter; but it may easily be
understood that the corruption which
unites ths superior officers with the
criminal element must necessarily
tie ths hands of the honest and conscientious
policemen who are trying
to do their duty.
It appears from the disclosures of
certain witnesses in ths Rosenthal
murder case that the gamblers and
keeper* of disreputable resorts of
this city ha** annually paid from
M.StO.m to to the polie*
and certain high official, la league

of the struggling. Principality were
,- bad enough, but the condition of affairs
at home was even worse Rival
factions disputed the Government,
' the army was torn with dissension*.
1 and nothing but the iron rule ofc *'S
r Stambouloff prevented the country's
> ruin.
Such waB Bulgaria In 1887, when "
i Ferdinand arrived. And what mari
velous changes twenty-five years uu
' der his rulership have broaght about.
' At the start, unrecognized by any
I of the Powers of Europe, treated as vjl
a usurper laughed at and hated, he
! achieved the recognition of all the
Powers, and with it their respect, ..
i Today Ferdinand is recognized every
i?iTi?tu wim royal nocors in
all the capitals of Europe; his realm '
has become the most prosperous and
most powerful of the Balkan States;
it has proudly broken the last ties
that bound It to Turkey; It has civ- *.1
illzed, modernized and improved its
system of government: the country is
covered with roads and railways; it *
has a thrifty industrious population
and a brilliant capital; everywhere
are to be Been magnificent military
buildings, for the backbone of Bulgaria
is her army, which is the best
disciplined in the Balkans.
Ozar Ferdinand, as he has . eei
known since Bulgaria achieved ner
complete independence five years ago
I man. bearded and always well
I groomed. He is not only an earnest
I student, with a special leaning to- 4
ward botany and ?rauthology. "liat
also a man of highly cultivated taste.
He has made a complete study of
the different language and the history
of his people and is a great stickler
for the ceremonies of his court.
Five years after he accepted the
Bulgarian crown Ferdinand married
Marie Louise of the Dourbon family
of Parma, a woman of noble character.
who died six years later, endeared
in the hearts of the people, leaving
four children, two princes and two
princesses, the first royal children
born on Bulgarian soil In 4 00 years.
Prince Bemis, the heir to the throne
is in his nineteenth year. He has
received an excellent education and
ils said to possess many of the strong
qualities that have helped his father
.to success. In 1908 about ten years
' afte the loss of his first wife. Ferdinand
was married to Princess Eleanore
of Reuse, a lady of about bis
own age.
urder Reflects
n the Department
| these statements - the.business of the
{rambling houses and other illegal
resorts in New York City must be
flourishing and extremely profitable.
The enormous sum paid in blackI
mail for protection." It is reasonI
able to assume, constitutes only a
! small percentage of the ill-gotten
gains of the keepers of these resorts.
These gains, which probably equal
in the aggregate^ a sum ten times as
great, are derived from the countless
victims who are fleeced every yea rin
the gambling houses and other low
resorts of the city. Considering the
dishcnest methods employed by the
gambling and other hells of New
York City, Monte Carlo would seem,
In comparison, an institution of high
moral character.
How-"desperate the criminal element
in this city is In this present
crisis, is demonstrated by the fact
that within a few days after James
Verella. the proprietor of an Italian
cafe, had disclosed the hiding place
of "Dago Frank" Ciroclsi, one of the
men implicated In the Rosenthal mur
der, he was shot and killed by several
Italians out of revenge. The fate
of Verella Is likely to have a deterring
