The Times correspondent in London says the United States legation here expects news of Miss Stone tonight after a report from Constantinople.
News of possible freedom for American missionary Miss Stone circulated as Bulgarian troops tightened around brigands guarding her on a mountain near Gultepe near Bulgaria, Macedonia and Roumania. Spencer Eddy stayed at the legation seeking decisive word while both Bulgaria and Turkey were warned of US responsibility if she suffers.
Washington reports officials believe Miss Stone is alive and ransom talks reach bandits holding her. The State Department confirms she was alive last Sunday. Bulgaria and Turkey protest their active efforts to resolve the case as the government presses to secure her release.
Consul General Dickinson states the U S seeks to indemnify any derelict country by the ransom demanded. Federal authorities appear to be pursuing Miss Stone's rescue without paying ransom if feasible.
Massachusetts Railroad Commissioners release from October 1901 a report by expert E. K. Turner noting metal particles fall from rails wheels and brakes. They attribute 9 percent to whar of rails wheels and brake shops, rest to third rail and other wear.
