New York. Dec. 1f.--Mlss Virginia wardlaw, the aged aunt of Mrs. ocey Snead. the victim of the bath tub trag- edy. was arraigned today before Re- corder Mott. in East Orange. N. J.. on the charge of murderins her niece.
 The accused woman was pale and worn from the effects of her incarce- ration, but appeared composed. If she should be discharged by the recorder, 1t was said. she would immediately. be re-afrested and held for the action of the grand jury.
 Mss Wardlaw, heavily yelled. sat in court beside her counsel. Franklin w. Fort. son Of Governor Fort. of New scrutiny of the crowd which packed the court room, nhleided her face at times with q newspaper. although her fea- tures wera nndistinguishable through the thick veil.s
 The drst witness Sergeant Timothy Canpiszs pk the NNak Orahke police force, told of the discovery on Noveiii- inches ok water in q bath tub.
 County Physicinn simmons told of his visit to the Wardiaw house and de- scrtbed the appearance of the dead wo- man He said her body was greatly emaciated.
 pr. Simmons said as the body lay in the tub the head was under water. He told of finding a note pinned to the woman's skirt. in which she said she was going to take her life. The wit. ness had not performed an autopsy on the body. he said.
 County Physician Mckenzie, who performed the autopsy. when asked If he could state the exact cause of death. made an explanation of the con dition of the inner organs and said that the lungs were congested and death was possibly due, to drowning.

YOUNG GIRLS BODY
 IS FOUND, MURDERED

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 1i.---After work ing all day upon the murder of 13- year-old Helen Brown. whose body was found half frozen today in a truck yard, and having gathering in a score of suspects, who were quickly released, the police tonight held two prisoners on suspicion in connection with the case. One is a man recently released from the house of correction and little is known about him.
 The other prisoner is a young man. a neighbor of the Browns. who declares he never knew the child. He has a witness who gives him an alibi. The police, however, assert that their pris- oner was arrested two years ago in connection with an assault on an B. year-oid girl. although no case was made against him.
 The girls mother sent her last eve hing to visit an aunt on Firth street. Mrs. Brown appealed to the police early today when she learned that her daughter had started home from the visit.
 Upon finding the body the police started practically without clues to hunt the murderer.

''INSURCENTS" PLAN TO FIGHT Republics songressnen Hold
 Meeting. WILJy OPPOSE HOUSE RULES R Jes of California Talks of the
 Future, He Declares That People Are Support ing Men Who Seek to Break the Power over Legislation
 Exercised By can-

Washington, D. C.. Dec l1.-Nine- teen 'fnsurgent" Republican Congress- men met tonight in the room of Rep resentative Hubbard. of Iowa, in the house office building and for three hours discussed ways and means for forwarding the fight begun at the extra session against the House rules
 It is surmised that other topics be- sides this were debated, but after the meeting broke up, the participants refused to admit that any other propo- sitions than the one to amend the Cannon rules" were considered.
 Representative Hayes. of California, acted as chairman of the meeting and Representative Nelson. of Wisconsin. was secretary. The net result of the meeting was the appointment of two committees of five members each. One committee was to map out a plan of action regarding further procedure and presumably to sound out the Democratic minority on a joint pro- gram, and the other was to take care of the subject of publicity.
 The following members were pres- ent. according to the list furnished theN press by Chairfnan Hayes: Gronna, (N. D.); Haugen, Hubbard, Pickett. Woods. Good and Kendall, Gowa); Hayes, fCaf): Hinshaw and Nelson. (Neb.) Madison and Mur- dock. (Kan.J: Poindexter. (Wash.); Lindberg, (Minn.); Livering, tMass.) i; and Carey, Cooper and Nelson, CWis.l It was stated that letters were receiv- ed from several others. including Da- wis, of Minnesota; Gardner, tMass.1; Valstead. (Minn.), and Fowler. (N. J.)
 It was insisted that the attendance tonight did not represent the full strength of the 'insurgent" repubt- can movement in the present Con- gress. Representative Hayes shid that if vote were taken today In the House to amend the rules that fifty Republican votes could be mustered.
 People Behtnd Them.
 'aThe movement among the Republi- can congressmen to amend the rules" fie saii, ,.is on the Increase and has member at tonight's n1seting reported that the people of his district were practically unanimous in their support of their representatives in this mat ter.
 Tt should be understood that we are aiming only at the amending of the House rules. Tn the case of var ious other propositions where the members have been classed as insur- gents our views vary But we are unanimous to the last man on this proposition"
 The insurgents were coy on the subject of publicity regarding to- nights meeting. When the members emerged from the Congressman Hub bards office after the three hours session, all of them dodged the walt Ing newspaper correspondents and the reporters were referred to Represent tative Hayes for the news of the meeting.
 Mir. Hayes was very reluctant about discussing the Insurgents" plans He at first declined to give the names of those present and refused to make public the names of the members of the two committees. He said that an address to the people would probably issued from the insurgents" within short time on the subject of the house rules.

When they failed to appear, Mrs. Germany became anxious and taking her 3-year-old son, Charles, the only surviving child. went to the homes of neigh bors and organized a searching party. Search at the. falls revealed at first only big hole in the ice.
 In the afternoon Flora cormany's body was dragged from the water and late tonight the others were reeov- cred.
