Following is the text of President

Executive Mansion. Washington, D. c.
I publish the following as my last will and
testament, hereby revoking all former
wills:
''To my beloved wife, Ida s. Mckinley,
I bequeath all of my real estate, wherever
situated, and the income of any personal
property of which / may be possessed at
death, during her natural life. make the
following charge upon all of my property
both real and dipersonal: To pay my mother
during her life $1,000 a year. and at her
death said sum to be paid to my sister,
Helen Mckinley. If the income from prop
erty be insufficient to keep my wife in great
comfort and pay the annuity above pro-
vide6. then direct that such of my prop
erty be sold so as to make a sum adequate
for both purposes. Whatever property re-
mains at the death of my wife I give to
my brothers and sisters. share and share
alike. My chief concern is that my wife
from my estate shall have all she requires
for her comfort and pleasure. and that my
mother shall be provided with whatever
money she requires to make her old age
comfortable and happy.

Held for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria.
Miss Stone has been % years in Turkey
and Bulgaria as representative of the
American board of foreign missions. Her
home is at Chelsea, Mass, where her
mother lives.
Helen NJ. Stone Of Chelsea, Mass, the
American missionary now held by
Bulgarian brigands.
When shown a statement by DIR.
Cregan, New York secretary of the
American board, that the ransom
would be dangerous precedent, the
Rev. DR.. Judson Smith, secretary of
the American board, expressed his
hearty appreciation.
'"The board would never consider such
proposition" he said. '"The rescue of
Miss Stone is in the hands Of the govern
ment. We have had missionaries in Turkey
for two generations, but never case like
this. Should we offer a ransom, mission
aries would never be safe from capture"
Washington, Sept. 30.-This state
ment was made Sa turday touching the
case of Miss Stone, the American mis-
sionary kidnapped by Bulgarian brig
ands: ''The department. of state win
do everything within it's constitutional
and legal powers to relieve the situa-
ton"
The limitations upon the depart
ment's activities indicated in the above
statement are severe. There is no war
rant of law for the expenditure of a
single cent of money from the United
States treasury for ransom, and the in
ic ho{ 1a n ~,
tion, if, indeed any is taken, will be
along diplomatic lines tending to in
fuence the Bulgarian and Turkish gov
ernments to undertake to release the
captives.
