TURKEY WILL RESIST
Has No Idea of Paying Ransom Of
Miss Stone.
THE REASONS FOR PORTE'S VIEW
She Had Been Warned Not to
Travel Without Escort.
TAKEN BY BULGARIANS
lHE REASONS FOR PORTE'S VIEW
TAKEN BY BULGARIANS

CoNSTANTINoPLE. October 31.-The
Turkish government is already preparing
to resist the anticipated demand of the
United States for repayment Of the ransom
necessary to secure the release of Miss FL
len NJ. Stone the abducted American mis-
sionary. The porte re9udiates all responsi-
bility for the kidnapping Of Miss Stone and
maintains that the United States has no
claim against TUrkeq. and that. therefore,
the latter is justified in refusing to recoup
the United States for the money expended
in her rescue
A high Turkish official this morning In
formed representative of the Associated
Press that the Turkish resistance of any
claims would be based upon the contentious:
First, that Miss Stone, although warned
of the dangers Of the road. persisted in
travelling; second, that she did not notify
the authorities of her intention in order to
obtain an escort, which precaution even
the foreign consuls always take when trav-
cling in such outlying, insecure districts OF
the empire, and, third, that the brigands
who kidnapped Miss Stone and her compan-
Ion were Bulgarians; that the coup WAS
planned in Bulgaria, and that sanctuary
was found in Bulgarian territory.
Referring to the opinion expressed yes
terday In some of the Russian publications
to the effect that Miss Stone is probably
dead, 1t may be stated that the State DE
partment is convinced TO the contrary, and
is satisfied that with the means of COM
munication 1t now has at its disposal the
event of Miss Stones death would be GER
tainly made known to it.

KENTUCKY NEGRO LYNCHED.
Taken From a Cell i'm HOdgenvilIe
JRii,

HODGENVILLE, Ky, October 31.-A mob
of fifty or seventy-five citizens came down
upon this little town about 2 o'clock this
morning and took from the Jail Silas Es-
ters a negro, charged with forcing Gran
VILE Ward, a fifteen-year-old boy of Near
Upton to commit crime, and strung him
to the court house steps.
So quietly and systematically did the mob
go about it's work that the citizens of the
town were in ignorance of the existence OF
the mob until the negro was in it's clutches.
The keys of the Jail were surrendered to
the lynching party on demand of the lead
ers The cell in which the negro was con-
fined was entered and the moose was ad-
justed about his neck.
He was dragged down the Jail stairs and
out into the street. He managed to slip
the moose from his neck and made a break
for liberty. The mob made after the ne
gro, bowling and firing at him with guns
and pistols, and he fell when about one
hundred yards from the Jail house riddled
with bullets.
The moose was again placed about the
negros neck and he was dragged to the
court house and swung to the topmost
steps.
The mob was formed in the neighborhood
of the crime. When the work of lynching
the negro had been accomplished the MEM
bers of the mob quietly dispersed and went
to their homes.
