According to the most recent press de-

peon Employees.
1t is believed that Bolan and his friends
became involved in some controversy with
the Ecuadorian authorities relative to
pecn employees. The laws Of Ecuador in
this respect are very similar to those
of Mexico and other Spanish and Latin
countries.
Under their statutes the peon is strict

and should he attempt TO void it, he b,
comes liable to arrest and Imprisonment
On the other hands the employer is JUS
as liable to arrest and Imprisonment if he

the eve of his sailing for New York on

Delay Due to Ignorance.
Their extraordinary delay in coming to
terms was owing to their extreme ignOr
ance, they being genuinely convinced that
everybody in the United States customar-
lily goes about with from $4,000 to $50, 900
in his pockets.
Hence they regarded the proposed ran
som as a mere bagatelle. and being TN
able to obtain even that, they doubted the
bona fides of the negotiators.

If Miss Stone has been recaptured by
brigands the opinion prevails that the
unfortunate occurrence has been due TO
some G.le's bunglng. Some officials be
lieve that she has been taken by band
working with the original brigands, who
have received the ransom in order that
as much money as possible may be OBJ
tanned for the woman's release.
The State Department is undecided what
steps will be taken if the reported recap

measures will be taken to make some one
suffer for the mistake is not doubted.
