NO WORD OF MISS STONE
KIDNAPPED AMERICAN MISSIONARY

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 21.-The Of

with the abductors of Miss Ellen Nj
Stone and her companion, Nine. X ).
Tsilka. 1t is regarded as probable that
the missionaries will use the nearest
telegraph only when the terms of the
ransom are settled directing where and
how the cash shall be sent.
LONDON, Oct 22-The idea that the
capture of Miss Stone originated with
the Macedonian committee is corroborat-
ed, according to the Vienna correspondent
OF the Daily Mail by the fact that
numerous Macedonians in Sofia have Of
fered to mediate with the brigands.
The rumor emanating from a Bulgarian
source that Miss Stone is hidden in the
vuayet of Salonika is regarded as very
improbable, says the Sofia correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph. Mr.. Charles II.

WINGED of the completely of the Mace
DOMAIN committee.
In missionary circles the view is
favored that when the ransom is paid the
brigands shall also be granted amnesty
and that all records of agreement with
the band snail be Cancelled.

commission on labor disputes and arbi-
tration, which has just been made pub
lie, sustains the view that arbitration
has never been available to any great ex-
tent as remedy. The commission deals
exhaustively with collective bargaining,
cancellation and arbitration and the laws
and court decisions governing labor COM
binations. While presenting and discuss
ing the evidence taken on these subjects,
the report points out that the representa-
tives of employers and working men who
testified before the commission were al
most uniformly opposed to compulsory
arbitration.
Collective bargaining, i. e., the specific
agreement on the terms of employment
| between master and man. has made more
progress as a means for securing peace
seen between labor and capital than any
other medium. OF course there are CALI
| ings in which an established system of
arbitration is in operation. 1t is unneces-

that in case of disagreement a repre-.
sentative of outside interests may be
brought in.

arbitration have at least but negative
function to discharge. Strikes as a
means of producing settlement are gen.
orally worse than worthless, since both
disputants are through them wrought into
such a condition of feeling as to render
peaceful adjustment a practical impossi-
bility.
1t undoubtedly represents the consen-
sus of expert and general opinion that
collective bargaining takes the leading
place as means of settling and avoiding
labor disputes. The Industrial commission
virtually accords it that place. Certainly
it is the only means of adjustment, of
general application among employers and
employees; and where it involves arbitra-
ton in the last event it does so only as a
subsidiary agency.
OF the existing situation in the labor
world it may truly be said that the most,
if not the only, potent means of prevent
ing disagreement and disturbance thus
far discovered is the plan of collective
bargaining.

DR.. BURNETT HELD TO JURY
Charged That He Could Have Pre-

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Dr. Orville S. Bur
nett, who was with Mrs. Charlotte Nichol
here last night when she committed sui
eide, ana who claims to have attempted
his own life. was held to the grand jury
by a coroners jury today 1t was charg-
ed that he could have kept her from the
act had he tried and that his conduct
should form the basis of an investigation
by the grand jury.
At the inquest Burnett said he and Mrs
Nichol were lovers, and that as her nus
band. w. L. Nicbol, commercial agent
of the Nashville, Chattanooga & ST. Louis
railway. was about to move to Nashville,
they had concluded to die rather than be
separated. Burnett said he took NOR
phine, and then tried to open his jugu-
lar vein with a hat pin. Later he sought
death by asphyXiation. A physician at
the Inquest testified that the morphine
Burnett had taken was not sufficient TO
hurt him, and that the wound in his neck
was not visible to the naked eye. Mr..
Nichol testified that the dead woman was
his wife and mother of three children
Burnett, he said, had been twice to his
house.
William Z. Nichol tonight took the body
of his wife to Nashville for burial. With
him were his three motherless children,
one only old enough TO know that the
mother was dead.

SIR THOMAS TALKS
OWNER OF SHAMROCK WILL MOTT
COMPETE FOR AMERICAS

HE IS NOT THROUGH YET
Says He Will Remain a Bachelor

CUP.

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton will not be challenger for the Ameri-
cas- cup next year. In an interview to-
night Sir Thomas also absolutely denied
that he had any intention of building a
new boat to compete for the cup next fall.
In All alleged interview, published In
several afternoon papers today Sir Thorn
as is quoted as having said that he would
consult Messrs. Fife and Watson as soon
as he arrived home relative to the build
ing of new challenger to compete for
the cup in 1902. When seen tonight he
said:
I did not see a reporter today that

boat and challenge for the cup next

any of the other British sporrsmen desire
TO enter challenge. AS a matter of fact
IL taxes months to prepare designs for a
new boat, and then, even when chaI-
longing with a new boat, ten months no.
tice must be given. 1t would now be well
nigh impossible to challenge in behalf of
new boat for race next year-that is.

What I do intend to do is this. I will
leave the Shamrock II. on this side. She
will remain here all next summer. and
will race with any and all boats that
care to meet her, and 1 will come over
myself -
While Sir Thomas denied that he in
tended building a new challenger for next
year, he would not deny that he would
ultimately build new boat. On this sub
jeet he said:
Il was beaten by a better boat than the
Shamrock III. Under these circumstances
L do not see how I can ever expect to
lift the cup with my boat Nobody ever

The whole trouble is that you Yankees

clared Sir Thomas. 81 think there are
no girls like American girls, but you can
say for me that 1 will never get married
until I lift that cup"
Sir Thomas is highly pleased with his
reception in America this year IT

here before" he said, abut L really did
not know what good time was until the
present trip. 1 am deeply grateful to
those who have made my poor efforts to
lift the cup so pleasan,
Sir Thomas will leave for England on
the Celtic. He originally planned to leave
Wednesday on the White Star liner Teu-
tonic, but changed his plans and will go
tomorrow.
Sir Thomas was the guest of John D.

enough to convince him that he should
not honor the requisition.
Mr.. Finley called at the office of the

talk with that official.
James Carpenter, of Louisville, testi-
fed that when Goebel was shot he came
out of the senate building and found
number of persons looking up at a raised
third story window of the executive

cause the prosecution has made it a point
that the first floor window was open, and
that it was the only one Sopen on that
