SAYS JENKINS WAS
REALLY KIDNAPPED
Pueblo Excelsior Asserts Bandit
Lend Help to Industrial
For Ransom.

Mexico City, Wednesday, Oct 29-
Published intimations that the abduc-
ton of William o. Jenkins, American
consular agent at Puebla, presented
phases indicative of connivance by
Jenkins and certain of his associates
with the bandits, are refuted in
story published by the Excelsior. The
newspapers story is the result of an
investigation by its special represen-
tatives in Puebla.
The Excelsior says the consular
agent was really kidnapped and that
Cordova, leader of the bandits, signed
receipt for three hundred thousand
pesos. although it says it is not known
how much of this amount has been
paid or who paid it.
The arrest of Jenkins attorney, who
has been released on bail, is believed
to have been brought about by the To-
cal courts wanting to assure testi-
mony to aid in cleaning up more or
less hazy charges in connection with
what persons paid over the ransom
money.
The CONDITION of. Mr.. Jenkins, who
still is in the hospital suffering from
the effects of a weeks privations,
made it impossible for him to give out
a statement today.

PENSACOLA IS
INTERESTED in
DANSEY SEARCH
Several Clues Reported and Are
Being Observation-Disclosures
Coming South For Winter
May Have Child.

Pensacola yesterday took part in a
nation wide search for Billy Dansey.
the kidnapped New Jersey baby.
This followed The Journals offer of
81. 1000 for return of the boy through
this newspaper.
Many in Pensacola thought they had
clues Those clues are being followed
up.
In two hundred other cities possible
clues are being run down by people
enlisted in the search the simultaneous
offer of $1,000 reward made by leading
American dailies.
To win the $1,000
You must find the child and bring
him to the office of The Journal
Or, If you can't bring him, you may
give information secretly to the editor
of The Journal as to where he may
be found.
If this information results in the
boys being restored to his parents
through the office of this newspaper,
the reward will be paid.
All information so communicated
will be strictly confidential.
Search for the lad spread all over
the east last week, following the report
that he had been seen in Newark,
Ohio.
The governors of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania had taken official action
to bring the kidnappers to Justice.
Dispatches from Hammonton, n. J.,
home of the Danseys, say the mother
is nearly frantic. The father and
grandfather, Hercules Dansey Jr. and
Sr are not so worried.
Four theories so far advanced are:
That gypsies stole the boy
That a former suitor of Mrs. Dansey
| took him.
That childless woman attracted
| by his fame as a registered baby" and
his widely published pictures kid
mapped him.
| That foreigners in Hammonton rar
off with the boy. mistaking him for a
son of Charles White, living next door
with whom they have had trouble.
| The boy is not yet three, but he looks
older. When asked his name he re.
plies BILLY Pittsburg."
He has light hair and large haze
eyes and mole on his right breast.

STIR I'm ITALY
In Note Sent by Foch Germany
Is Invited to Participate in
Blockade Against BOlshevists
of Russia.

Paris. Oct 30.-Rumors received
here that the American government
had refused to accept the latest pro-
ject put forward by Foreign Minister
Tittoni for the settlement of the Fiume
question, caused a display of deep
emotion in Italian conference circles
in Paris.
Despite the fact that no official
confirmation of the rumor has been
received, it is the general sentiment
of the Italian delegation that the in
formation is correct and that the
delegates are showing disappointment.
While the heads of Italian mission
maintain their courteous diplomatic
manner, lesser members of the dele
cation are outspoken, saying the de-
cision would prolong indefinitely the
perplexities and anxieties now fac
ing the Italian government.
1T is regrettable" said one of the
secretaries, that the abnegation with
which the Italian government has ex-
posed itself to unpopularity in order
to find an acceptable solution of the
Adriatic problem or it's avowed pur-
pose of maintaining, in spite of ALL
solidarity, with it's allies, have not
succeeded in avoiding the deception
which now comes from Washington"
1t appears to be the general feel
ing in Italian circles that Italy has
reached the extreme limit of possi-
BILE concessions and will stand on her
present position. II is said Italy's
position on her foreign policy will be
consolidated by the coming elections
and that parliament has resolved to
sustain the government along the lines

settlement
The French newspapers generally
concur in the Italian point of view, ex-
messing surprise at the American at
titude.

On Eve of Departure King Al
bert, Queen and Prince
See President.

Washington. Oct. 30.-King Albert.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Leopold
visited President Wilson's sick bed to-
day and had brief chats.
The king went alone to the sick
room and stayed ten minutes. He
recounted incidents during his tour of
America, some humorous, and dis
cussed conditions in Europe. He had
felt his visit to the United States
marred by the fact that he had thus
far been unable to see the president.
Il hope your ideas and ideals will
be carried out and / believe they
will" the king said as they clasped
hands in parting. The queen. at the
presidents request later came in for
five minutes. Prince Leopold, too,
saw him.
My doctor tells me I am getting
better" the president told both callers.

do feel much better
