KIDNAPPED GIRL
TO Be FREED,
INSIDERS SAY
Payment of Ransom Is
Awaited, Reliable
Source Asserts.

Copyright, 1894 by United Press
TUCSON, AriZ., May June
s, granddaughter of a
wealthy retired cattleman, will be re-
leased by her kidnapers within two
or three days upon the payment of
$4,000 ransom money, the United
Press was informed by a reliable
source today.
All police activities, including
those of federal department of jus
tice agents, were suspended to
facilitate negotiations.
Bernabe Robes, the grandfather,
was assured that the girl was safe
and being held captive near Tucson,
during a secret thirty hour trip he
made into Mexico, the United Press
informant said.
The ransom money will be paid, it
was said. at q secret rendezvous
across the border in Sonora. One
condition of the purported agree
ment was that the kidnapers be
guaranteed a cessation of all police
activities.
The 73-year-old cattle baron
scarcely had returned from his secret
mission last night before Joseph
Dunn of Los Angeles, in charge of
twelve federal agents here, an
nounced they would be withdrawn
from the case Police and county
authorities previously had sur
rendered jurisdiction to Dunn.
Contact Is Reported
The sudden withdrawal of the
investiga tors was construed as evil
dence that Robes had established
a contact with the kidnapers, who
awaited only assurance of protec-
ton before surrendering the child.
The new developments were ac-
companied by direct appeal TO the
kidnapers from June's father, Fer
nando Robes, asking them to act in
good faith in their negotiations. To
forstall a hoax. he demanded a
piece of his daughters dress.
In an open letter his first public
statement since the little girl was
abducted last Wednesday by a dark
man. the father said:
ITO the person or persons who
have my daughter June:
Il am ready and willing TO fol-
low any and all instructions re-
ceived by me so that my little girl
June will be returned to me safely
and unframed. I have requested
the local, county. state and federal
officers to withdraw entirely. which
they have agreed to do, so that we
can enter into negotiations success
fully.
Asks Four Questions
IT have requested and request in
this message. that all rewards that
have been offered be withdrawn and
that all persons refrain from inter
fering with my attempts to contact
you and secure by child. In order
that I may be certain that am
dealing with the proper parties and
that my daughter is alive, I request
that I be furnished a piece Of her
dress and her answer to the follow
ing questions:
What do you do with your bum
MES in the morning
What do you call Corney?
What is the name of Bettinas
maid?
Where is your little box with the
key in it?
Please take good care of my baby.
Sincerely. (Signed)
FERNANDO A. ROBES.
The message itself was seized
upon as an indication that the
father and grandfather we're as
sured of June's safety. Previously.
fears had been mounting that she
might have been killed.

TOXIC. May Japan was re-
vealed today as standing firm
against selfish" foreign inter
ference in China. despite represent
tations by the United States and
Great Britain.
Publication of the statement made
to Koki Hirota, Japanese foreign
minister, by American Ambassador
Joseph Clark Grew, revealing the
United States stand on treaty
rights, was countered here with
publication of the answer Mr..
Hirota made to Mr. Grew.
The answer was revealed today by
the now famous foreign office
spokesman, Eli Amau. Mr.. Hirota,
he announced, said not only to Am
baSsador Grew, but to British Am
bassador Sir Francis Lindley:
Japan can not ignore any action
which threatens the peace and or
der Of China in any manner.
Because of her special geographic
cal position in eastern Asia, Japan
is the most deeply concerned ma
ton as regards the peace and order
of this section of the world.
Accordingly. Japan can not re-
main a mere spectator if any third
country fails to take into consider
alton the facts mentioned and in
tends to utilize its relations with
China in the execution of no1icies
based on selfishness."
This seemed to be the final word
in a critical diplomatic situation
which caused Secretary of State
Cordell Hull to instruct Ambassa-
dor Grew to make his friendly but
uncompromising statement regard
ing treaty rights. Japan published
Mr. Hirota's statement after pub
lication of Mr.. Crews instructions,
but it was not made clear which
actually spoke first
