TURKEY MUST
RAISE DEFICIT
Ransom Fund Must Be In.
creased by Her
United States Will InSiSt-DriVer for
Miss Stone Under Arrest for
Completely

London, Oct. 15.-"The United States
government will insist that Turkey
Immediately make good any deficit in
the subscriptions for the ransom OF
Miss Stone" says the Constantinople
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,
"and also refund the full amount sub
scribed."
1T is supposed that the brigands
who captured Miss Stone have with
drawn into the interior of Macedonia
in the direction Of Nevrokop," says a
dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from
Sofia. Former member Of the Mace
donian committee who were arrested
on suspicion of completely denied be-
fore a magistrate any knowledge of
the affair.""
"Pators Dimil1roff and Zirkoff. with
three female mission workers" says
a ditpach from Vienna to the Daily
Express. have been killed by the band
that kidnapped Miss Stone"
The Daily News. in an editorial upon
the case Of Miss Stone while sympath-
izing with the efforts in her behalf,
expresses the opinion that the payment
of such a ransom is a very questionable
proceeding
Turkey could easily stamp our brig
andage," says the Daily News, but.
so long as benevolent foreigners will
pay high ransoms why should the
Turks trouble?'
1t suggests that Miss Stones letter is
"just such a document as a clever
brigand chief would drop into the
American letter box at the present
moment" and concludes by remarking
"an army of brigands endowed by
American subscriptions will not add to
the tranquility of eastern Europe"
The Times has the following from its
Vienna correspondent: THE Sofia cor
respondent of the Poster Lloyd says
that Todaroff the driver was accom-
panied Miss Stone when she was kid
mapped, has been arrested on suspicion
of convenience. He is Bulgarian
Protestant from q Macedonian village
and his statements are regarded as
authentic.
"Todaroff asserts that Miss Stone
accompanied by zirkon and his wife
by Dimitroff and three women teach
ers, all Bulgarians. was stopped by
brigands September C toward 6 o'clock
in the evening ia narrow pass in the
road leading from the village of Benkso
to Dinmain in Turkey. The brigands
tool, Miss Stone and Nine. Kirkoff
away and left men to guard the others.
This guard however disappeared the
following morning leaving all the lug
gage and horses behind
"Todaroh's attempt to represent the
brigands as Turks is considered sus-
picious. The fact that the brigands
left the luggage untouched is held to
confirm the belief that their sole OBJ
iect was to mn the empty pockets of
Macedonian adventures. Todaroi de-
clares tnat the closing he crossed with
out a passport and declares that he
did not meet any frontier guards.
