CHELSEA, Mass, December IA
Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American
missionary, whose kidnapping by Mace.
DOMAIN bandits in 1901 electrified this
country, died here last night.
Her life was saved by the raising
of queens ransom by popular SUBJ
scription in the United States. She
was born in Boston N 1s46 and was
sent to the Balkans in 1873 by the
American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions.
While returning from a teachers
convention at Samokov, Bulgaria, then
a part of Turkey, a small party was
waylaid. One member was shot and
Miss Stone and a Nine. Tsilka, wife
of an Albanian missionary. taken
captive
Through the American legation at
Constantinople, notice wa served that
unless $4,000 was forthcoming both
women would face death. The Board
of Foreign Missions appealed for aid
and 1880 was obtained and paid
over only after the bandits had con
scented to a months grace in order to
allow additional subscriptions.
1t was not, however, until five
months after their capture that the
two were released Their captors
fearing treachery and the Turkish sol
diery, spirited Miss Stone and her
companion from place to place until
through arrangements with John G.
A. Leishman, American Minister at
the Sublime Porte, lonely spot not
far from Saloniki was agreed upon
where the money was paid and the
victims were freed.
In 1902 Miss Stone returned 10 this
country. She made her home here
with a niece She was 81 years old.

REJECT CITIZENS PLEA.
D. c. Heads Disapprove Change in
Law on Street Widening.

The District Commissioners today
refused request of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association to spon.
sor a change in the law so that
abutting property owners would not
have to meet special assessments for
street widening.
Street widening, the Commissioners
held, is usually initiated by petitions
of abutting property owners, that it
enhances property value, and that
the law requires them to pay 40 per
cent of the cost, and for these rea.
sons there seems to be no adequate
justification to seek a change In this
law"

PARIS, Sept. 26.-American and
French wartime veterans walked
shoulder to shoulder yesterday over
the battlefields where nine years ago
they fought the same way. They
visited cemeteries where their COM
rades of both nations lay buried.
Veterans of the Rainbow and the
second and Thirty-sixth Divisions
accompanied General Gouraud and
French veterans on the latter's an
nual pilgrimage to the war cemeter-
les and the battle monuments in
the Champagne sector.
They retold the story of that cam
paign, when American youths of the
Rainbow, Second and Thirty sixth
Divisions came to the aid of the
French corps under General Gou-
raud at moment when all seemed
lost for the French.
Ceremonies were held also at
Montfaucon and French veterans
accompanied the Legionnaires to the
American war cemetery at Ro-
magne, where they laid wreaths on
the graves of the dead. .

APPRECIATION

To Editor of The Times.
My best regards go to you in
the heroic fight you are put
ting up for good government.
The successful (although I'M
fortunate ending) of the In
dianapolis trial is an evidence
of fearlessness.
1 feel that the outcome of
the Duvall case is more salts
factory to the citizens of the
city than anything happening
here for many years. The de-
sire of the average citizen is
not to see vindictive action d.
rected toward any official and
it is always regrettable that
such trials include unfortunate
and innocent members of
families, but the citizen Of the
city feels he is entitled to an
honest and satisfactory man
agement of municipal affairs.
The efforts of The Times has
urged that end" May I con-
gratrlate you in the good
work.
Cordially yours,
F. A. HAYWARD,
Secretary.
