Ellen N. Stone Knew That
Efforts We're Made
for Her Release.
HEARD BROTHER SPEAK
While in Captivity in Far Off Land
Missionary Receives Message
from Home.
HEARD BROTHER SPEAK

Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American
missionary captured by Bulgarian
brigands and redeemed by generous
American public, arrived in Spokane
from Walla Walla this morning and
will speak on her experiences while a
captive at the First Methodist church
tonight.
Miss Stone is a rather large, moth
erly looking woman with a strong
face, which was constantly wreathed
in smiles while she talked to a Press
reporter. She is middle aged but
carries her years well and does not
show the cares and worries through
which she must have passed as a
missionary in the sultan's dominions.
She talks very rapidly and earnestly,
but her accent does not betray her
Yankee parentage.
Miss Stone has been touring the
country since the last of January and
visited the Pacific coast, she said,
because so many kind friends out
here contributed to my relief and
wanted to hear the story from me
personally
Miss stones first meal in Spokane
was eaten in the Spokane hotel's
Turkish mosque dining room, which,
she said, made her feel quite at home,
She was also in receipt this morning
of letter from her partner in cap
tivity, Mrs. Tsillka, which stated that
she had arrived in America with her
husband and child and was located
in New Jersey.
Mrs. TSilka's brother, Constantine
Stephonoff, is now being held by the
| Turks as a Macedonian prisoner. He
is a graduate of Yale and worked his
way through college as a street car
conductor.
Miss Stones lecture consists of the
story of her capture and the days
spent in captivity and her release
In rehearsing today part of the
story she referred to strange Incl
dent which had convinced her that
there was something in telepathy.
Said Miss Stone
''One night just a few days before
the time set for our death ! heard
my brother, at that time in America

Miss Stone will go east through
Canada to Boston. delivering several

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Weaver received n message from
Lothian stating II would be impossi-

an hour Weaver received a telegram
signed by Mrs Campbell IN which she
said that THE Second Mrs Tanque-

GAMBLERS MUST
SUPPORT BOYD
Lower Howard Street Reported to Have
Received Its Orders From ProseCut-
ing Attorney Nmbd||.

Lower Howard street from end to
end is agog today with the report
that Prosecuting Attorney Horace
KimbalT has entered into the local
political situation by calling on Doc"
Brown, Goetz & Baer and Green &
Sorg and plainly stating that unless
they supported Colonel Boyd in his
race for mayor, he proposed to close
every gambling house on Howard
street. So lower Howard street is
noisily supporting Boyd.
1t has also leaked out that the
reason that lower Howard street de-
serted Byrne in the democratic con-
vention was due to similar pressure
exerted by Charles Hopkins and At
torney I<imball. who threatened to
close up gambling at once unless
Byrne was defeated.

President Castro seems determined to
make trouble for himself and his coun-
try. He has ordered blockade of the
Orinoco river. There is vast amount
of commerce on that river. OF the
fore igners the Engl sh are more interest
ed in it than any other people.
1t is not entirely clear what the rea-
son for the blockade is, but it is pro-
ba BILE that 1t is in connection with the
effort to crush out the insurrection.
The question which presents itself is
this: To what extent is the blockade
likely to interfere with the relations be-
tween Venezuela and other nations? 1t
Is said that Great Britain has already
ihtimated that she will not respect it
for the reason that ii is not effective,
and cannot be made so, because Vene-
zuela hasn't a naval force sufficient to
maintain an effective blockade. If
Great Britain takes that position 1t is
probable that other European coun-
tries win follow her example.
And what about this country? One
report from Washington is that the
question Of the effectiveness of the
blockade will be looked into and If it
is found that the requirements of in
ternational law are met the blockade
will be respected. But will this couri-
try insist that other countries shall re-
spect it? That is question that win
be settled when 1t is reached. There
does not seem to be any disposition
on the part of the Department of
State to settle II in advance
A Venezuelan report that is causing
Some uneasiness in diplomatic circles
is that the Venezuelan Congress will
not approve the settlement that Mr..
Bowen made with the allies. From the
present outlook it will not have
chance soon to approve or disapprove
it. President Castro is practically the
whole government and he will not call
the Congress together until he is pref
ty we'll assured that it is willing to
do his bidding. He is aware that he
could not control it if 1t were in SEES
sion, and so there is not likely to be
meeting of that body in the imme-
date future.
The settlement made by Mr.. Bowen
has the approval of President Castro
and, from a Venezuelan standpoint. it
was as good a settlement as Vene-
zueIa could have obtained. under the cir
cumstances.
