THE RANSOM FUND.
Liberal Responses Made to the APP
peal for Aid to secure Release
OF Miss stone.

Boston, Oct. 7.-The urgency of the
case of Miss Stone, the missionary held
for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria,
brought together the members of the
prudential committee of the American
board for two hours Sunday. Later the
. committee issued a statement based
upon the views of President Samuel
r. Capen, of the board, and the
secretary, Rev. DIR. Judson Smith, as
the result of their visit to Washington
Saturday. Both gentlemen had inter-
| views with President Roosevelt and the
officials of the state department. 1t
was made plain to them, they told the
prudential committee, that the only
certain way to secure the release of
Miss Stone and save her life would be
the payment of the ransom. The COM
mittee was informed that the govern
ment, by reason of constitutional re-
striction, is unable to pay the ransom.
The committee was also made aware of
the fact that the American board has
no money with which to save Miss
Stone. The only practical way. there
fore, was shown to be a popular sub
scription, which already has been
started. The committee heartily APP
proved this and began sending tele-
grams to many parts of the country
urging subscriptions. The committee
says that in view of the spirit with
which the appeal is received there is
strong ground for the hope that the
amount will be obtained speedily. In
every possible way the American board
will cooperate both by gift and by So
licitation. President Capen says that
the government at Washington. both
the president and the state depart
, ment, have done, are doing and will
continue to do all that Is in their power
, to secure the release of Miss Stone.
The firm of Kidder. Peabody & Co.,
which is handling the fund kept it's
office open Sunday. Late in the after
noon statement of the days receipts
. was made, the total being s4,325.75.
with S64o additional in pledge. At the
! Park Street church. Rev. DR.. Withrow
presented the case of Miss Stone
strongly, assuring his hearers that IL
the money is not used for her ransom
/ 1t will be returned to the donors, as
the chances are "that the United
States government will make the Turk
ish government pay heavy indemnity
for the outrage"
Just how much money has been
given to the fund for the ransom of
Miss Stone is not known. Those di-
recting the effort in her behalf hope
that the response throughout the
country will be liberal and that the
figure is fully 100000. if not the
necessary amount, which is $4,000
more.
Washington, Oct. 7.-The secretary
of the American board of foreign
missions, in n personal interview with
President Roosevelt, said he has posi-
tive information that unless the S11O.-
900 ransom is raised before Tuesday
Miss Ellen Stone, the American mis-
sionary captured by Bulgarian bri-
gands, will be killed on that day.
