MOVE To SAVE
FRANCE-ITALY
NAVAL ACCORD
Great Secrecy Maintained
on New Memorandum
From Paris.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press STAFF CorreSpondent

PARIS, May 16.-Great secrecy
today surrounded a new memoran-
dunn submitted by the government
to Italy and Great Britain in an
other effort to prevent the COM
plete collapse Of negotiations looking
to a Franco-Italian naval accord.
The memorandum was regarded
as the final effort" by France to
seek means through which the
governments involved can sign an
agreement ending the possibility of
a naval building race between Italy
and France, and probably affecting
Great Britain.
The minister of navy, Charles
Dumont, personally prepared the
document-covering twelve pages
which was sent through the for
eign Office to the governments at
London and Rome.
It was believed the new French
move would not be discussed at
Geneva, during the meeting of the
League of Nations council, con-
vening next week.
Although secrecy surrounded the
text of the memorandum, the United
Press learned that it was not en-
tirely new. 1t was reliably under
stood to provide basis for new
negotiations on the French in
sistence that France be permitted to
replace $1,000 tons of warcraft.
The government has sought to
find a means whereby this conten-
ton can be met by both Italy and
| Britain,

BROOKS QUEER
ACTIONS BASIS
OF WILL FIGHT
Probate Court Battle Is Re-
CeSSed; Doctor Put
on Stand.

Peculiarities Of Bartholomew d.
Brooks, shortly before his death,
that caused him 10 visit fortune
tellers, cancel all insurance on his
12f pieces Of real estate and con-
stantly fear some one would de-
fraud him OF his 100000 estate,
are bases upon which two charity
organizations are contending Brooks
was Of unsound mind.
This is one Of two important
points to be decided in the hot legal
battle in probate court which was
recessed today until Monday.
Completing two weeks of argu-
ment the plaintiffs late Friday pre-
sented testimony of DR.. Frank F.
Hutchins, 1912 North Meridian
street, mental expert, that Brooks
was Of unbalanced mind when he
signed a 1880 will, leaving approx
imately 100000 to Robert Hack
ney, former rental agent in charge
Of part of Brooks properties.
Morris Also on Stand
The charity organizations, the In
dianapolis Home for Aged Women,
and the indianapolis chapter,
American Red Cross, claiming ap-
proXimately 100000 under a will
dated June %, 1920, are seeking to
kill the last will by proving it a
fraud, executed when Brooks was of
unsound mind.
Conversation with a banker in
which two women, one to whom Mr.
Brooks was engaged, sought ap-
pointment of one of them as ad-
ministratrix before the burial, was
related at the trial Friday after
noon.
Donald S. Morris, vice president
Of the Fletcher Savings and Trust
Company. administrator of Brooks
estate, was on the stand several
hours.
Withdrew Her Demands
He testified that Miss Frances
Winters, 300 North Riley avenue,
and Mrs. Bess M. Whitcomb, 1899
Blaine avenue, came to him after
Brooks death and before his burial,
urging that Miss Winters be named
administrative.
Miss winters, who received $4,000
under the 1880 will from the estate,
based her efforts to be administra-
trix on the claim she was Brooks
common-law" wife. When advised
her relations with Mr.. Brooks would
not support such claim she then
contended she was engaged to him,
but withdrew her demands.
