I believe that it was in all our
minds that Mr.. Keene, ST., had
committed suicide. I told Mr..
Keene, jr., that I had placed my
information in his hands and for
him to do as he saw fit. He then

there was going to be another
meeting in about two weeks we
had better wait and see what hap

Keene told him, Starkey said,
that he was going to Norfolk to
see a client relative to a business

Starkey invited Keene to have
dinner with him, he said, but
Keene declined, saying he wanted
to conserve what cash he had with
him, and also that he had eaten
at home before starting the trip,
After dinner Starkey looked
around for Keene, but did not find
him for some time. When they
met, Keene said he had been in
his cabin talking over my deal.
On his return to Washington,
Starkey said he reported to
Keene's son. Lieut.. Charles F,
Keene jr., former Navy officer

whom Keene shared an office, that
he had conversed with Keene on

DEBATE
Agreement Is Made to
Take Up Supply
Bills First
international News Service

A gentlemen's agreement be-
tween friends and foes OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Supreme Court
bill under which action on the
measure will be postponed until
after the Senate has disposed of
all appropriation bills, including
the $1,5OO,0OO.OOO relief measure,
was reported in effect today.
Opponents of the court plan,
ready to launch debate next week,
favored the postponement because
they did not wish to be put in the
position of blocking action on the
necessary appropriations.
They will offer no objection to
immediate action on money bills
but will try to interpose the court
bill against any other legislation.
Friends of the Presidents bill
welcomed the delay in order to
seek majority support for a COM
promise. This was said to be in
line with the Presidents wishes,
expressed to Senator Joe T. Robin.
son, Democratic leader.
Robinson proved noncommittal
to newspapermep but was quoted
by senatorial colleagues as saying
the compromise must be worked
out in the future. He was under.
stood to have no definite plan in
mind but desired first to find out
just what type of measure a ma
jOrity of the Senate will support.
