Other Powers Following in Disposal of War Vessels :
 Affected by Treaty
JAPAN RETAINS HULLS|
Eastern Power Awaits Unani- nous Ratification of Pact
 Before Final Action

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19- Responding by transmitted to congress today the information in the hands of the navy department on the status of warships scrapped under the terms fthe Washington arms conference naval treaty, or otherwise disposed of the signatories since the adjourn ment of the conference.
 The report showed that neither the United States nor Japan plan. to complete the scrapping of any ex- isting capital ships, at least pending promulgation of the treaty, although both nations have stopped work on large building programs of capital ships. Great Britain, on the other hand, was shown to have disposed of, or to be disposing of very considerable number of older capi- tai ships.
 The United States according to the report in addition to suspending work on vessels under construction under the treaty has decommissioned all completed ships affected the bat tleship Connecticut, which soon will be placed out of commission and has sold the Maine and Missouri, which are actually being broken up
 Great Britain, Mir. Denby said, had cred, which was not indicated, bro- ken up three capital ships; sold to be broken up, seven; sold but not dismantled, one; completed mutila- tion on two and was engaged in mutilating six others. The Austral- ian government, he added. had de- cided to scrap the battle cruiser Australia.
 Through her ministry of marine. the secretary continued, Japan had stated that while work preliminary to scrapping will be done, the hulls will not be broken up or sunk until the treaty has been ratified by all the powers"
 Neither France nor Italy was re- quired to scrap any completed yes sels by the treaty. One of the ships France was permitted to retain, Mr. Denby said, had been wrecked and that nation proposed to complete, as an aircraft carrier, one of the five battleships it had under construction at the beginning of the war.

REPORT STATES ROBBERS WADE
 ESCAPE BY AIR
Authorities Admit They Are Far From Reaching Solution
 of Daring Hold-up
IDENTIFICATION FAIL s
Roads Leading to Mountains Under Surveillance of Den
 yer Police; Trips Futile

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Dec. 19.-That the Denver mint bandits escaped from the scene of their crime in a racing motor car and then were picked up by an airplane, in the neigh borhood of Parker, Colo, IS miles from Denver is the substance of re- port reaching police headquarters here today. An attempt to verify the re- port was unsuccessful though the in formant told with considerable detail how tn plane had been waiting on a field near the edge of the Black For est for the bandits.
 DENVER, Dec.-Denver, state and federal authorities tonight after a day and a night spent in searching for the masked bandits who yester- day morning shot and killed Charles Linton stole a consignment of $200,- 900 from federal reserve guards in one of the most daring and sensa- tional daylight holdups ever staged in the west were without tangible clues as to the identification of the bandits. ''-
 Police, spurred on by the offer- ing of a reward of $10,000 for the bandits dead or alive, the city and county of Denver and an additional reward aggregating $5,0O0 offered by the Kansas City Federal Reserve bank admitted that although they had many clues that promised pos abilities, they were still far from the solution of the holdup. Detec. tiyes and patrolmen were dispatched throughout the city today in inves- tigating the numerous clues that have come to the attention of the police.
 Tonight squad of IA detectives are engaged in watching a rooming house in the vicinity of the govern ment mint where earlier in the day, 3 car, evidently left in the street by the bandits to be used in case of accident to their own machine during the holdup, was discovered through information furnished by a woman. The car, an investigation showed had been stolen Sunday night and was equipped with a li- cense tag stolen more than two weeks ago from the car of the dep uty county clerk of Jefferson county at Golden.
 The automobile, according to the woman, had been parked on the street by three men, about an hour proceeding the holdup and subse- que1t gunfight on the front steps of the main entrance of the mint. Investigation today showed that the gasoline tank had been we'll filled.
 Continued questioning of eye wit nesses and other persons through out the day by Chief H. R. Williams and Captain of Detectives Washing ton Rinker failed to shed any ad- ditional light on the identity of the men responsible for the robbery.
 That the robbery was accomplish ed by Denver bandits and not by outsiders is the belief of chief of police Williams and search is being conducted with that theory in mind,

WHO WROTE TREATY,
 ASKS SEN. JOHNSON
Senator BOrah Also Takes Crack
 at Four Power Pact

Washington, March l3.-Thc query "who wrote the four power Pacific treaty and It's supplemental agree ments?" persisted in the senate de- bate on the pact today despite Secre- tary Hughes letter taking the rcspon- sibiity upon himself,
 In the course Of tho argument, Sen ator Borah, republican, Idaho, de- clared that circumstances surround ing the reservation attached 10 tho treaty by Mir. Hughes when 1t was signed. presented, in his opinion, "the most conclusive proof that somebody else wrote the treaty"
 The Idaho senator's assertion, com ing in the midst of q broadside against the treaty by Senator John son, republican, California, led to q sharp passage between the two IT, rcconcllable leaders and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican floor leader and q member of the arms delegation. Both Mir. Borah and Mir. Johnson later insisted they had not meant to reflect on the vcracity of MT. Hughes.
 JOnnSOu | STltNlZeS.
 The authorship of the pact came to the front when Senator Johnson as. serted that "before the ink was dry on the treaty itself Mr. Hughes pre- pared and had the delegates sign q reservation relating to the mandated islands of the Pacific. Senator Lodge Interrupted to say that the reserva- ciCpnI hafnro the treaty.
 "So much the worse" responded Senator Johnson, i've sign first d cor rection of treaty and then the treaty itself. The American delegation was so uncertain of he meaning of the treaty that they first executed an cx planation."
 "Mr. Hughes has stated" said Mir Borah, that he wrote this treaty Why then didn't the idea come into l Mr. Hughes mind when he was writ ing the treaty to include the provi sion about the mandated islands? Tc !! me it is the most conclusive proo that somebody else wrote the treaty Borah Takes Crack. This statement brought Senate Lodge immediately to his feet pro | testing against "an impeachment o Mir. Hughes veracity."
 I'm not greatly concerned abou the veracity of MT. Hughes or any. body else,' replied Senator Borah But he said he wrote this treaty ant don't understand why if MT. Hughes wrote it, it was necessary for him t re-write it at the same time.'
 Senator Johnson insisted that al though Mir Hughes explanation should be accepted, there must have come time when in his mind there was sufficient doubt about the mean
 ing Of the treat yto impel him tt write an explanation"
