The urgency of the case of Miss Stone, the missionary held for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria, brought together the members of the prudential committee of the American board for two hours today. Later the committee issued a statement based upon the views of President Samuel B. Cnpen of the board and the secretary, Rev. Dr. Judson Smith, as the result of their visit to Washington yesterday. BothTgentlcmen had interviews with President Roosevelt and the officials of the State department. It was made plain to them, they told the prudential committee, that the only certain way to secure the release of Miss Stone and save her life would be the payment of the s ransom. The committee was informed that the. Government, by reason of Constitutional restriction's unable to pay the ransom. The committee wns also made aware of the faet that the American Board has no money with which to save Miss Stone. The only practical way, therefore, was shown to be a popular subscription, which has already been started. The committee approved this heartily, and began sending telegrams to many parts of the country urging subscriptions. Tbe committee says that in view of the spirit with which the appeal is received there is strong for the hope that -- the ground amount will be obtained speedily.
