TURKSSQU|RM|
At CONSUL'S
DEMAND
PORTE is MAKING EVERY POS
SIBLE EFFORT TO ESCAPE
STONE BRIGANDAGE CUES
TION.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sunday, Aug. 81.
The report circulated in the United
States by a news agency that the Turk
ish government had addressed an abrupt
note to U. S. Minister Leishman saying
that it was absolutely refused to further
discuss the responsibility of the capture
by brigands Of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the
American missionary, and a companion IN
September. 1901, as the capture was not
committed on Turkish territory, is not
true.
AS a matter Of fact, the question Of the
porte's responsibility is indisputable since
the capture, payment of a ransom and
liberation of the captives all occurred on
Turkish territory.
The correspondence on the subject on
the measures taken for the delivery and
arrest of the brigands continues and the
insuficiency of the efforts displayed by
the Turkish authorities has been the sub
ject of complaint by the United states le-
cation.
The porte is following its usual course
of trying by every means to evade the
demands of the legation for the capture
and punishment OF the guilty persons
alleging among other reasons that the
captives when released did not furnish
sufficient information TO enable the au-
thorities to find the brigands.

GEORGIA MARBLE
WINS AT TAMPA

TAMPA, Fla, Sept. S.-The largest
marble contract ever given in the south
has been awarded to the Blue Ridge
Marble company, of Nelson. Ga.
1t was a notable victory for Georgia
marble after a sharp contest with the
largest Vermont marble company.
The United States government building,
to be erected at this port at a cost Of
100000 will be built mainly Of marble,
and postofice purposes.
Georgia marble won a distinct victory
in this competition as IT did in the bidding
for the new department of Justice build
ing at Washington. Under the govern
ment's tests, which were unusually Sc
we're, Georgia marble was found to be
clearly superior to the Vermont article
The competition for the Tampa contract
was all the more spirited because of the
preference frequently given to Georgia
marble recently by the federal govern
ment and the contractors Of other public
buildings.
1t will require more than 200 carloads of
marble for the government building at
Tampa. and the fact that Georgia must
supply them will increase still further the
fame of the marble of that state.
