GRANDFATHER HAS
 GIVEN HIMSELF UP
Murdock Is Held for Kidnapping
 Grandson

New York, July R - Jacob Murdock, 63 year old wealthy lum- Der dealer of Johnstown. Pa., in- dicted for the Kidnapping of his 10 year old grandson. Jacob Mur- dock Denny, surrendered to Dis trict Attorney Banton today.
 He was taken before Judge Koe- rig in general sessions, where he entered plea of not guilty and was released in s2.5Oo bail. MT. Murdock left immediately for his home, saying he would take legal steps to retain the custody of the boy.
 Murdock has sought to nullify ex- tradition proceedings, and it was explained today these steps were taken merely to gain time to ar range defense. Yesterday his ad- visers, John P. Connolly of Phila- delphia, J. Earl Ogle, Jr., of Johns- town and D. P. Weimer, Cambria county attorney, decided to come here to face the charge.
 Before he was arraigned, Mur- dock said:
 T have committed no crime in taking the boy. My wife and I. since the death of the child's mother when he was a year and a half old. have taken care of the bmoy. He knows no other guardian. When my daughter died, the child's father. MT. Denny. deserted him. Last April following MT. Denny's s third marriage, he called at Johns- town and said he would like to have the boy live with him. My wife and I reasoned with him and he finally consented to having us legally adopt the child.
 While these proceedings were pending Denny stole the child from our home. The boy screamed and fought his kidnappers but they suc- ceeded in speeding him out of the county and to New York.
 When we took possession of the child last May we committed no crime. If anyone committed kid mapping it was Denny"
 Two civil actions are pending in Pennsylvania in connection with the fight over the boy. One is a habeas corpus proceeding brought against Murdock by Denny and the other is an application entered by the grandfather for the boys adoption. Both cases will be decided at Elms- burg, Pa., Aug. 2.
 Meantime the Pennsylvania courts have remanded the child to the cus- tody of the grandparents. Denny, it was said, is under bail in Penn- sylvania charged with Kidnapping and is awaiting grand jury action.
 The alleged kidnapping of the boy occurred June 10. The Dennys re- sided at the time at 159 East 18th street and the boy was in the cus- tody of his stepmother. A large closed automobile drove up with four mon in it, seized the boy and drove off with him.
 Mrs. Denny. trying to prevent the boys capture. jumped on the run ming board of the machine. She was knocked off and bruised In falling.

Sec Danger of Failure

London, July 8 P,-Possibiitt of a breakdown in the naval negotia- lions at Geneva was emphasized in dispatches from Geneva. Washing ton and New York displayed in to- days newspapers.
 Indicative of the opinion in some quarters is the comment of the Westminster Gazette, which refers to trying to remove the chsession of the United States that Great Britain either is refusing parity or forcing the pace in cruiser building" The paper intimates that the deadlock is due to Americas refusal to agree to ,1c British cruiser plan. which it de- scribes as "the only practical one be- fore the conference"
 The Daily News editorially recalls that at the Washington conference there was no suggestion that cruisers Were to be regarded In a separate category from other tonnage. It says that 'inasmuch as we lfc now sug- Gesting they ought 10 be 90 regarded. we are attempting to ,-treat from tie position quite definitely taken eight years ago"

 Looks Over Plane
 Drouhin has already had . good look at the Columbia at Le Bourget. He said it appeared to him to be in splendid condition. John Carisi. chief mechanician of the company that built the Columbia, is due in Paris soon with an assortment of spare parts. for replacement. It is probable a new propeller will be fitted.
 As Drouhin speaks no English and Levine speaks no French, the owner of the Bellanca plane will take with him a pocket dictionary that he may communicate with his French pilot.
 Drouhin has had his mind set on a transatlantic air voyage from Paris to New York for a long time and on Wednesday 1t was announc- ed that he hoped to start within two weeks. He Is only 26. but three times has held the worlds flight duration record. He lost his latest record to Clarence D. Chamberlin and Bert Acosta a few months ago.
 Although the, announcement that Mir Levine was to engage French pilot was not received enthusiast cally in French circles, impartial ob- servers are deeply interested in seeing what an expert French pilot can do with a type of machine diff fering widely from the French. Vir- tually all French commercial planes are adaptations of machines design ed and built for the army. while the American are conceived specially for civil traffic. Leading French experts point out that the qualities needed for commercial and army planes are not the same, and such authorities as Louis Hirschauer contend that the unsuitable French design is the cause of civil flying standing still, or even falling off. in France, while it is fast developing iii other coun- tries.

 This drew sharp reply from President Gales, who declared he re- garded as an insult" the implication that Mexico was on trial before the world "in the guise of defendant" {" Ambassador Sheffield made sev- eral trips to Washington to confer with officials on the land laws and MT. Warren was called in on several occasions because he and John Bar ton Payne had negotiated an under- standing with the Obregon govern ment on this question.
 Reports at the time were that Ambassador Sheffield was mot who'll ,ly pleased with the action of Secre- tary Kellogg in consulting Mir. War ren, but if there was any rift on that score the fact was closely guarded.
 During a visit of Ambassador Sheffield to Washington in mid summer. 1926. state department of- flcials insisted that despite surface indications of disagreement be- tween the ambassador and the secretary ti.ey were working in harmony. At the same time secre- tary Kellogg took occasion to deny published report that the ambas- sador had resigned.
 Before returning to Mexico City late in the year, the ambassador was a guest at the White House. His visit there was covered with secrecy but later it was authoritatively stat ed that Mir. Sheffield had the full support of President Coolidge.
 Going back to Mexico City before the end ot the year. Mr. Sheffield made an address before the Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce in which he declared for "concrete in spinal columns"

 The Daily Express urges that if the conference fails. the fact need not be taken too seriously. Nobody" 1t says, really repose much confidence in the discussions. :. ,.. The foreign policy of the United States is often closely related to an impending presidential elec- tion."
 Situation Critical
 Geneva, July R-While the po- sition of the tri-partite naval con- ference is still critical regarding cruisers the executive committee was to meet today to iron out sec ordary questions. A tentative date TOT reconvening a plenliy session may be set.
 Hugh s. Gibson, the American am- tassador. who head the American delegation. and w. c. Eridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, are continuing their private talks with view to reaching a compro- mise. MT. Gibson. before his latest conference with the chief British delegate, was still optimistic that the cruiser question would De solved. He said: "We are both making every honest effort to see each others viewpoint. We are trying to get our tonnage, they their number of crui- sers."
 The date of plenary session is still nebulous, as the technical eX- perts must first study the new Jap anese proposal for fixing the total tonnage of cruiser and destroyer classes for the three powers and al- lowing them to adjust their strength according to their needs within these limits. The Japanese have submitted g. new proposal for consiC, ably in creased total submarine tonnage. This followed defeat for the Jap anese on their demand that they be permitted to build an unlimited number of small undersea craft.
 Wants More Subs
 Admiral Saito has asked for TO- 900 tons of submarines, passing his claim on the necessity If defending :he coast of the island empire against possible invasion. The figure is 34,- 900 higher than the minimum pro- posed by the American delegation.
 Japan's proposal for fixing the slohal tonnage of cruisers and de- stroyers suggested 450,00o tons as a limit for the United Stat s and Great Britain, and 300,000 for Japan.
 Thursday afternoon tn1 evening were devoted to talks Setween the techScians of the three delegations. For example, two or thrce American officers. having specialized on cer- tain phases of the problems before the conference. would meet infor- mally two or three British or Jap anese familiar with the subjects. This "nibbling process" to borrow Marshal Joffre's famous wartime phrase, is expected to yield results ir smoothing the rough edges of the conferences work.
 The Japanese gave dinner last night to number of American and British officers, and there was shop talk" over the coffee c..)s.
