WARDLAW SISTERS
TO Be EXTRADITED
Arraigned in New York and
Committed to the TOmbS
for Thirty Days.

New York, Dec. 24-GrewsOme
phTaseOlOgy in indictments against the
Wardlaw sisters, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Ocey Snead, was made
public today in the arraignment of
Mrs. Caroline W. Martin, the victims
mother. and Mrs. Mary Snead, an aunt.
They were recommitted to the Tombs
for thirty days, pending extraditiOn TO
New Jersey.
In the Indictments against both it is
charged that they did take ''the said
throw and push said Ocey Snead into
a certain bathtub, where there was a
great quantity of water. and by means
of which the said Ocey Snead was
checked, suffOCated and drowned"
Another count charges that Mrs.
Martin and Mrs. Snead aided, hired
and commanded Virginia Wardlaw to
murder Ocey Snead.
The grand jury, as an additional pre-
caution, charges all three with aiding
and abetting the victims suicide
More Documents Unearthed.
Further complications in tine maze
of contradictory evidence in the Snead
case was unearthed today with the dis
cOVery Of additional documents. They
were found by the Brooklyn police in
the Henry street house once occupied
by the Wardlaws, and imbued the de-
tire family had made a suicide agree
ment which was only partly fulfilled
by the death of Ocey w. Snead.
The alleged compact is said to be
revealed by letters signed by Ocey
Snead, her husband, Fletcher, Mrs Mar
tin, her mother, and her aunts, Mrs.
Mary Snead and Miss Virginia Ward
law. Accompanying them were several
blank forms of power of attorney, all
signed by OCey Suead The documents
have been turned over to the New Jer-
sey authorities.
Victim Of Morphine.
Was her own constant use of the hypo-
dermiC needle the cause of Ocey W.
Sneads death? Colonel Robert J.
Hare, counsel for Mrs, Caroline B.
Martin, the bath-tub victims mother,
brought this question to the fore to-
day as he was preparing to appear in
court for the third hearing on the
cases OF Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Snead,
whom the New York authorities are
holding pending extraditiOn.
Colonel Haire declares he has evil
dence to show that the young woman
was what is known ia the popular YER
nacular as a dope fiend."
BY that mean said the attorney,
that she used drugs, chiefly NOR
phine, for nearly two years before she
died. 1 have learned this from talking
with her mother about the case"

NEW PRESIDENTIAL ENSIGN.
Longer Pike, Bigger Eagle ant
Smaller Globe.

When President Taft goes forth as
commander-in-chief Of the army he will
have a flag more in keeping with his
avoirdupois. War Department officials
yesterday decreed that the flag of the
President shall be changed.
Instead OF being fastened on a pike ten
feet long it will have one eleven feet,
and II to signify the growth of power OF
the United States since the Philippines.
Porto Rico and other islands of the seas
have come under her dominion. the
American eagle that has stood alert on
the globe that adorned the top Of the pike
during all these years is to give way to
bigger bird
Instead of standing four inches high.
the new presidential eague is to measure
five and three-eighth inches. The glo'n
is to be reduced from three to two inches
In diameter.
War Department officials say neither
the presidential size nor the nation s
growth had anything to do with the
change in the flag. Things were not
quite symmetrical. So they concluded to
remedy them.

Told but in shrugs and whisperings;
Ambitious from her natal hour,
And scheming all her life for power;
With little left of seemly pride;
With venomed fangs she cannot

Who half makes love to you today;
Tomorrow gives her guest away.
Burnt up within by that strange soul
She cannot slake or yet control;

Author Denounces Censorship.

Edmund Gosse has written letter de-
nouncing the action of the Libraries AS
ISOLATION as a serious danger to liberty.
1t will institute, he says, a censorship
of the press by the side of which the
censorship of the stage will be childs
play.
1t is an unheard-of tyranny. he says.
If it had been exercised fifty years ago
it would have prevented the circulation
and sale of Darwn's Origin of the
Species" in his opinion.
He quotes Millions ''Areopagitica"
against the Libraries Association, and
declares it would be far better that a
few scandalous volumes should enjoy an
ephemeral existence than that action
should be adopted which would end all
liberty of publication
A prominent feature of the agitation
against the offensive features of recent

LONDON, December 4.-The Circulating
Libraries Association, which includes
Nudes, w H. Smith, the Times Book
Club and others, has taken an important
step with view to check the circulation
of immoral and otherwise scandalous
books
The output Of such works seems to be
increasing in response to demand, the
extent of which is sufficiently indicated
by the scramble for Lady Cardigan's re-
cent scurrilous chronicle. But the ap-
probation of a section Of readers has
been offset by the loud and indignant
complaints OF others.
The association has decided to support
the protesting section. 1t has accordingly
sent circulars to the leading publishers
OH the subject.
The circular states that libraries have
suffered much undeserved criticism in
rnis matter, as well considerable loss,
through recalling from circulation books
which offended subscribers
Barred From Circulation.
It continues:
I'm order to protect our interests and
also, as far as possible, to satisfy the
wishes of our clients. we have determined

any book which by reason of the person
ally scandalous, lbelous, immoral or
otherwise disagreeable nature of its con-
tents is. in our opinion, likely to prove
offensive to any considerable section Of
our subscribers.
I'VE therefore have decided to request
that in future you will submit to US
copies of all novels and any books about
the character of which there can posi-
bly, be any question at least one clear
week before the date Of publication. I'm
less time is given us to read the books
before they are published it Is impossible
for us to avoid that annoyance to our
subscribers for which we and not the
publishers are generally held responsible"
The circular concludes by disavowing
any attempt to establish a censorship.
With a view of cooperating with this
idea, the council of the Publishers AS
ISOLATION met and passed resolution ex-
pressing sympathetic approval Of the aim
of the Libraries Association, and It's
willingness to support that organization.
but expressing the opinion that the views
of the Authors Society on this matter
should be invited, and suggesting a meet
ing of the three associations for the pur-
pose of discussing the best means OF
checking the circulation Of obnoxious
literature.
The Authors Society will meet Monday
to consider the circular. Heretofore few
authors have stated their opinions on the
subject. Those who have said anything
have declared themselves antagonistic to
the idea.

NEW YORK, December 4.-William
Watson's frank admission that Margot
Asquith and her stepdaughter, Violet,
are the women at whom the poem 1.-The
Woman With the Serpent's Tongue" is
directed, is accepted here as strengthen
ing the report that the man who once
was prominently mentioned for the posi-
ton of poet laureate Of England had de-
termined to leave his nature land for
good and remain in future on American
soil.
1t is conceded, by even those who Justi-
fy his thrust at the Asquiths, that the
poet would not now meet with much
favor In England, especially from the
strong following of the premier; and
that having thrown down the gauntlet
30 boldly he would get a warm recep-
ton should he return to that country.
Has Burned His Bridges.
1t is held that from strategic stand
point Watson has burned his bridges be-
hind him.
The English poet does not touch on the
motive attributed to him for the writing
of the poern-that of pique-because OF
the reported opposition of Mrs. and Miss
Asquith to hts appointment as poet laure-
ate; but in his explanation cites instances
Of what is regarded as backbiting ten

Wife Pats His Hand.
The poet, whose wife patted his hand
encouragfngly as he talked, told at great
length of the conversations he had had
at the Asquith home, and even repeated
the contents of several notes he had re-
ceived from the ladies.
The main point In his long Indictment of
Miss Asquith was that she had belittled
her fathers predecessor, the late Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman. by saying
that one Nash, his secretary, always
wrote his speeches.
