KIDNAPPED GIRL,
MISSING SINCE
OCT. z, FOUND
Betty loan Layton, Center
of Custody Battle,
Is Located.
PLAYING IN HOTEL ROOM
City Detectives Refuse to
DivuIge Details of
Long Search.

Betty Joan Layton, 5, center of
custody battle, ate an institutional
breakfast this morning instead of
eating in the privacy of her hotel
room.
Found by detectives last night in
a small downtown hotel, Betty Joan
was taken to the County Detention
Home to await decision of Juve-
nile Court as to her custody. She
has been missing since Oct 2.
Spirited away from her grand
mother, Mrs. Elvia Cummings, 1915
Brookside-av, Joan has been the
object of an intensive police search.
She was found by Detective Ser
geants Morris Corbin and Philip
Miller, playing in the hotel room,
apparently unconcerned over the
hub-bub raised by her disappear
ance.
Mystery Couple Hunted
The detectives today refused to
divulge the details of their search,
location of the hotel, source of their
information which aided in recov-
ering her, or VINO cared for her dur
ing her seclusion in the hotel room.
They said Betty Joan was brought
to the hotel on the night of her dis
appearance by a man and woman
whose identity they refused TO re-
veal.
1t is believed search was being
made today for the couple.
Betty Joan was held incommuni-
cado at the Detention Home.
Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler IS
said to have granted CUSTODY Ok the
child to the grandmother before her
disappearance.
Father Denies Part
On the night of the disappear
ance, Mrs. Cummings was prepar-
ing the child for bed when some one
knocked at the door. She answered
and a taxi driver engaged her in
conversation. Later she returned to
the child's room and found her gone.
Mrs. Cummings said she believed
some one had crawled through a
window and taken the child away.
Following the child's disappear
ance, Robert Layton, the father, was
cited for contempt of court by Judge
Geckler. He denied any connection
with the child's disappearance.
Betty Joans father and mother
are divorced and the father has re-
married

COMM UNIQUE is DRAFTED
London to Move Ships From
Gibraltar, Say Dispatches
From Rome.
Copyright, 1895, by United Press

ROME, Oct. 10. = A joint
Italian-British announcement,
expected to tell the world that
acute danger of war in the
Mediterranean has been
averted, is to be issued to-
morrow morning, it was said
authoritatively today.
Stats of the foreign office and the
British embassy worked on the texts
today, harmonizing them.
1t was intimated that they would
considerably ease the Italian British
tension, which has been increasingly
acute.
France Joins in Moves
1t is understood that the an
nouncement will reaffirm Great
Britains declaration that it intends
no independent action against Italy,
that Italy will reduce its army in
Libya, bordering Egypt and the
Sudan, and that Britain will reduce
the size of its fleet in the Mediter-
ranean.
This action would link with
premise by France to replace some
British ships in the Mediterranean
IF necessary"
1t was said authoritatively that
the announcement would contain a
British statement to the effect that
Britain never raised the question
of application of military sanctions
or penalties against Italy and in
tends no measures beyond collec-
tive action by the League of Ma
tions.
Text Approved, Is Word
This is interpreted to mean that
Britain will neither close the Suez
Canal nor declare a blockade
against Italy without the co-opera-
ton of other League nations in
penalty for Italy's campaign in
Ethiopia.
1t is understood that the text of
the British statement was ap-
proved last night after a long tele-
phone conversation between Sir
Eric Drummond, British ambassa-
dor, and the British foreign office.
The announcement probably will
be agreed on by Italy and Britain
tonight, and issued for publication
in morning newspapers.
The announcement is the result
of negotiations by Drummond, Pre-
mler Benito Mussolini and Count
Charles de Chambrun, French am
baSsador.

how can he beat me in June if he

There are lots better fighters than

every Great Fighter"

4 S FOR Al Boris-we eenie-meenie-
n miney-moed on the spelling
we not only never heard of the
gent, but upon wiring for details and
being answered by Mr.. Francis
Albertanti of Madison Square Garden
we never heard of the guys he last
beat-from left to right, Norman Bar
rett, Ed Karolak and Bob Moody. 1t
is admitted this departments fistic
knowledge is not what it might be
but even So
trust the commissioners will not
reprimand Mr.. FatSo Cornell too
harshly. He is a good guy, the only
fellow in the city interested enough to
furnish our weekly fights. and his
penchant for emulating Kris Kringle
really is a virtue. He should be
heard. So:
"Boros (he spells it with an o. isn't
coming down here to be beaten, but
thinks he can beat Everett and so do
lot of other people. The people
are always hollering for new faces and
I'm trying to give them one.
"As for Hughes, you can't deprive
a fellow of his livelihood just because
he turned in one bad fight. Dempsey
Sharkey and practically every great
fighter in the world has turned in at
least one bad fight in his career"
To this we have no comment
other than the humble sugges-
tion that the new-face angle
might be solved by putting Bal
Boheme masks on Petey Sarron
and Joe Rivers and letting 'em
fight again, and that 1t Is sur
prising for even such a chari-
table man as Mr.. Cornell to

Mr.. Ahearn Pays OF.

YUST to refresh jaded memories,
Frankie is the welterweight who
- lost a couple of fights here, but
somehow managed to get the deci-
sions. Then he was matched with
Morrie Sherman at the Hunt Club.
In spite of the earnest pleadings of
Mr. Patsy Donovan, side-kick of Cor
nell, who was managing and second
ing frankie, the fight was awful. The
reaction of the crowd was large
"Phooey!"
1t nearly drove sensitive
Goldie Ahearn, the match
maker, mad. Goldie didn't want
to pay them at first, but decid-
ed it was worth the 800 smack
ers-or whatever the price was
to get rid of them pront0.
So, to those souls who laid it on the
line that night it must be distressing
to hear that not only is Hughes
back in town, but that Mr.. Cornell
wants to wear the scarlet panties and
use him in the semi-wind-up to a
fight between Everett and Boris,
Boras or Boros. The guys name has
been spelled all three ways SO far, SO
you can figure how well he is known.
Back to Frankie Hughes. 1t must
