STATE Department ACTIVE
Is Making Energetic Efforts:to Secure

Be Expected Of Her Under the Cir.


Washington. Oct. 9.-Not since the
successful attempt to save the life Of
John Hays Hammond, the engineer
implicated in the Jamison raid, has
the state department put forth such
energetic efforts to save a human life
as it is now exerting in behalf of Miss
Stone. the American missionary who
was captured by Bulgarian bandits.
A sum of money has been forwarded
to Spencer Eddy. the United States
secretary Of legation at Constantine
pie, who has shown remarkable en-.
ergy and ability in unearthing the
ramifcations OF the plot which re-
suited in the kidnapping Of Miss
Stone. There is little doubt that the
Turkish government has done all that
1t could be expected to do to run down
the bandits and what is now to be
done is to secure similar action on the
part of the Bulgarian government and
to that end influence more potent with
the Slav races than that of the Unit
ed States government are now at
work. Should these measures fail
and that is why Mr.. Eddy has been
placed in possession of this powerful
auxiliary. The state department. OFF,
Gals deprecate most earnestly news
paper discussion of the measures it Is
taking in Miss Stones behalf, claiming
that it is being greatly embarrassed in
les efforts by such publications. Con-
sequently the officials refuse to give
any information concerning the case
beyond merely the negative statement
that they have not been informed Of
the reported extension to one month
allowed for the ransom of Miss Stone,
