D. April 33. tfpi Inquiry into all phases of the London naval treaty by senate and house naval committees appeared certain today aa the chairmen outlined plan to lummon the deleeatlon and naval experts before their respective groupa. In addition. Chairman Borah, of the Senate foreign relations committee haa some questions he desires to a.k althouKh he previously has Indicated he probably would favor ratification.

At the White House, however. Frank B. Kellogg, former secretary of state, expressed the opinion that the treatv would be promptly ratified by the senate. He had called upon President Hoover. Wlille Chairman Hale and the Senat naval committee la Interrogating the -delegation on the diplomatic and political phases Chairman Britten of the House naval committee, said his group would question Secretary Adams and the naval advisers on the military phase.

Britten said the naval committee a-anted to ascertain why certain polices of the navy were "abandoned In London" and to learn whether the light cruisers to cost 109.000.000 were to he constructed for the benefit of the taxpayers. Although the Senate alone ratifies treaties, the House has equal author-try to determine naval construction. Britten expects the Information disposed at his hearing will have a bearing upon the Senate action on th treaty. Both Hale and Britten expect to begin their respective hearings early in May so that information will be in the hands of the Senate and House when President Hoover sends the pact to the Senate for ratification. The Illinois member said he would suggest a plan whereby the United States navy could construct 10,000 ton cruisers with elht-ineh guns In-tfad of the light six-Inch cruisers allowed In the pact and which he said the naval general board has held are Impractical for American needa.

Chairman Hale Is preparing an address in which he plans to discuss Its various features. After his conference with the president, former secretary Ketlog, ro-author of the Kellotrg-Brland pact for renunciation of war. pred icted that other steps toward disarmament would result from the treaty negotiated at London.

LEVIATHAN. April 23 OPt Running at top speed, the steamship Leviathan was tonight speeding westward through a silently rolling sea. She is bringing back to the United States Secretaries Stlmson and Adams, Ambassador Morrow and Senator Robinson, together with members of the staff of the American delegation to the London naval conference. All the delegates had luncheon and also dinner in the first-class anion today but were conspicuously absent through most of the daylight hours while they rested In their cabins. Secretary Stlmson came on deck In the afternoon and tramped several miles.

The call at Cherbourg. Prance, was brief and informal. The ahlp cleared immediately after the arrival of the boat train from Paris. Unlike the departure from New York for England when the delegates were saluted by Fort Jay and by the sirens of all the ahlps in the harbor, the sailing from Southampton was so Informal aa to constitute only the departure of another ship from thnt busy port. In fact the members of the delegation were still abed at 7:30 a.

when the Leviathan loosed her moorings. I Similarly, formalities were lacking at Cherbourg. The only official to aboard the ship was Fred Houck. act- Ing consul. It was remarked that when Secretary Kellogg sailed from Cherbourg with the text of the pact I of Paris, he was given naval honors and a farewell by Ambassador Her- rick.

There was nothing of that sort I today, although the prized possession I of Secretary Stlmson and his col-league Is a certified copy of the London naval treaty. Thla was de- posited In the ships safe when the delegation came aboard at Southampton. The only touch of color about the delegation's return voyage, and about the only thing that differentiates the travelers from the other paa- sengers. was the presence of uniformed marines at the talkies In the ship's night club. The delegation guards were ordered to wear their 1 uniforms for at least one meal dally i and they chose to do so at dinner.

Two weeks ago, the day after Rlnaldo came here from Tucson. the police received an anony-; mous telephone "tip" concerning the murder mystery. Consequent to In-! vestlgatlon of this Rlnaldo was ar- rested last night and police said he voluntarily confessed to shooting the motion picture director In a quarrel over a screen actress. Discrepancies of his narration with the known facts led to doubt and finally discredit of the entire confession. His estranged wife.

Mrs. Alice Rlnaldo. music teacher, added the last touch that broke down the story. "I was living with my husband at the time of the Taylor murder. Mrs.

Rlnaldo told chief of detectives Joseph Taylor. "He had nothing to do with the murder and his story a figment of what 1 believe to be a disordered She previously had informed the police Rlnaldo frequently sufferer! erratic spells as the result of shell shock suffered in the war. Rlnaldo, who had been booked on suspicion of murder, was identified this afternoon as the man who threatened to shoot Mrs. Doris Martin, waitress whom he met several months ago In Brawley. Calif.

The woman's husband E. L. Martin, made the Identification. He said Rlnaldo had persistently annoyed Mrs. Martin and that he came to their door demanding to see her.

The demand was refused by MHrtin. who said Rlnaldo telephoned his wife later that he would "bump her off." Franklin Club Will Assemble Xext Month (Sprtal To The (lelzrn) FRANKLIN April 23.
