BRITISH FLEET
MANEUVERS
OFF SPAIN
Rx H.K. REYNOLDS

LONDON, Jan. IA Q.N.S0.
Britain and France lined UP their
sea and land defenses today in
readiness for the League Of Ma
tions council meeting at Geneva,
Monday, when the crucial deci-
sion must be >faced-conciliation
or more coercion.
Out of British ports steamed
10 warships on a spring cruise"
that will keep them within a days
sailing distance of the Mediterra-
mean. They replace four ships
withdrawn from Gibraltar this
week.
Back by February II
At the same time it was learned
that the French and British army
general stats have agreed that
the French army shall assume a
principally passive role in the
event Of British clash with Italy.
The battleships Nelson and
Rodney, the aircraft carrier Furi-
Gus, the cruiser Cairo, and Is
destroyers of the reduced home
fleet left Portsmouth and other
Ravens for exercises off Spain,
the admiralty announced.
Later touching at Gibraltar,
they will cruise among the
African islands, finally returning
to Gibraltor by February II.
Ninety-two French warships also
begin maneuvers in or near the
Mediterranean in a few days.
Unless European war makes 1t
necessary, France does not in
tend to mobilize her army and
navy upon the first outbreak Of
Italo-E English trouble. it was un'
derstood.
Use of Naval Bases
The British navy will bear the
original brunt of the conflict, but
will have the use of French naval
bases in the Mediterranean. The
French army will guard the Ital-
ian frontier, but only the last two
yearly contingentS of the French
army will be called up for service,
thus avoiding a fight in parlia-
ment over a general mobilization
order.
The French air force signal SyS-
tenn will warn Britain of any
Italian airplanes flying over
French territory.
The defense committee Of the
British cabinet yesterday dis
cussed possible contingencies of
the European situation, but a
final decision on the British
stand to be taken at Geneva was
left for a regular cabinet meeting
tomorrow.
Seventeenth Supply
Confirming the recent Inter
national News Service revelation
from Rome that Italy took ad-
vantage of the delay in the Oil
embargo plan to store up q
big supply of Oil. Walter Runci-
man, president Of the board Of
trade, told the cabinet that Italy
has enough oil to continue the
war for at least seven months.
The Standard Oil Company,
Runciman reported, alone has
stores of about 100000 tons of
oil in Italy.
This factor, plus the attitude
of the United States, will de-
termine the British attitude when
the oil ban comes up at Geneva.

MARTYR, SAYS
COURT ROOM
SLAYER

CHICAGO, Jan. IA (I.N.SJ.
"I'm . martyr, q soldier fight
ing for justice for the common
people,"
This was the plea today Of John
W. Keogh, real estate operator
and one-time millionaire, explain
ing from his Jail cell that he shot
and killed Attorney Christopher
G., Kinney in a county building
court room yesterday as "a pub
licity stunt to get my message be
fore the people"
Assistant States Attorney
Charles Dougherty meanwhile
studied the report OF allenlSts
who examined Keogh last night,
Prosecutor Dougherty said Keogh
els insane" but will be tried for
murder.
A coroner'S inquest today Is ex'
pected to result in Keogh's being
held to the grand jury, charged
with murder. An indictment and
trial will then be sought.
Court in UprOar
Assuming the insanity diagnosis
is correct, Mr.. Dougherty said, the
Jury would find under the law
that Keogh had committed the
crime and would direct that he
be committed to the psychiatric
division Of the State penitentiary
system until he entirely and per
manently" recovered his sanity,
virtual impossibillty in the case OF
q paranoiac his age.
Keogh threw Judge John
PryStalski's court room into an up,
roar when he suddenly drew a re-
volver, shot and killed Attorney
Kinney and then opened fire on
the Judge. Judge PrystalSki
saved his life by diving under his
bench. Spectators overpowered
and disarmed Keogh, who was
the calmest person IN the STAN
peded, Smoke-filled court room.
"No Hasty Action"
Keogh explained his action to
day:
eft was no hasty action. l
did it to make public, as could
in no other way, the fact that
the courts are illegal, because OF
the failure to reappOrtiOn IL
IinOis in accordance with its con-
stitutiOn. It is important that
that message gets to the people"
He said he had spent his fortune
in efforts to force reapportion'
ment. He refused to pay Federal
income taxes because, he said, the
situation in Illinois denied him
the right to a Republican form OF
government as guaranteed in the
Federal Constitution. He carried
his fight to the United States Su-
preme Court, only to lose the legal
SkirmiSh.
The case which took Keogh and
Attorney Kinney to court yester-
day grew out Of the foreclosure by
the New England Mutual Life In
hurance Company Of q mortgage
Keogh had placed on a building
owned by him.

Cape Cod Recalls Keogh
As Wealthy Eccentric

HARWICHPoRT, Mass, Jan. IA
UNSO-ohn w. Keogh, u, de
clared insane after he ran amuck
in q Chicago courtroom, killing a
lawyer and trying to slay judge,
today was recalled as familiar
summer figure on Cape Cod.
Residents described him as a
wealthy eccentric who wore a ski
suit and spats on summer Gays
He had a penchant for acting as
his own lawyer.
Last october Keogh defended
himself in Barnstable superior
court in connection with a $50
plumbing bill, claiming that So
cents of the charge was illegal
Then he asked a jury verdict
against himself, so he could ap
peal to the supreme court. The
case is pending.

Fails 10 Cash Check;
LAWYER Reprimanded

The Supreme Court yesterday
reprimanded a lawyer for not &C
cepting a $15.45 check from the
clerk of court.
The clerk sent Ralph J. Baker
Of Cambridge, Mass, the check in
1894 Because Baker didn't cash
1t, the clerk could not balance his

The high court ordered Baker
to show cause why he should not
be disbarred. He apologized. and

CHARTER UP
BY a Staff Correspondent


RICHMOND, Va, Jan. IA.
Delegate Maurice D. Rosenberg,
Alexandria, today said he would
press for changes in Alexandria,
city charter. SUBJECT to a popular
vote in the city, which would call
for the popular election of the
city attorney and the city col
lector.
These offices he likens to the
commemorative attorney for a
county and to the collector of rev.
enue for a similar jurisdiction.
Under the present setup in Alex
andria they are appointive offices.
The charter changes would be
adopted by the general assembly
subject to a vote of approval in
Alexandria, Mr.. Rosenberg ex-
planned. There is nothing manda-
tory upon the city of Alexandria
in the legislation he proposes.
