WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-(By the
Associated Press) "Details of the
American plan for limitation of ma
val armament, were discussed today
at a meeting of the sub-com mittee
of naval experts of Great Britain,
the United States and Japan. The
session was adjourned shortly after
IL O'Clock and it then was said there
would be no other meeting of the
subcommittee today. and that it had
not been determined whether discus
sion would be resumed tomorrow.
There was no indication that the
full committee of naval experts in
Guiding the officers of the French
and Italian navies had been called
1t is generally expected that when
the experts of the three powers reach
a point where they cannot proceed
further until the conference has de-
cided the fundamental questions of
fleet ratio as between the United
States and Japan that the full naval
expert committee will be assembled
and will then make it's report to the
naval committee of the conference.
In American circles there had ap-
peared to be a feeling that today
might bring the discussion of the
naval ratio question to a head as
far as the experts were concerned.
There was no indication that such a
stage had been reached, however,
when the subcommittee adjourned.

ty. The meeting was one of the most
interestiar ever held concerning tax
alton matters. Representatives were
present from New Brunswick, South

other sections OF the county.
Although the meeting was of a
secret nature, it was learned today
that a general discussion took place
concerning the taxation question as
it affects the entire community, and
arrangements were made to formu-
late plans to prove that the asser-
tions of Union county are untrue.
These facts will be presented to the
board of taxation to prove that the
Middlesex county valuations are not

than the day before, though he
cheered up when for the first time

AUTOPSY TODAY
ON GIRLS BODY
Is Positively Identified as
Missing Girl From Fresh
Ponds Section
GIRL MISSING A MONTH
Authorities Satisfied Rhode
Hall Girl Died of Exposure
and Was Not Attacked
GIRL MISSING A MONTH

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 30:-
Death from exposure and starvation
is the belief expressed by the county
authorities following the autopsy
performed on the body of Stella
Ostroski, the six and one half year
Rhode Hall schoolhouse six weeks
ago and whose body was found yes
terday morning on the Abor farm
near Jamesburg. Lester Tilton, six
near a dead tree as he wa cunning
on the farm. Tie body was about
1000 yards from the farmhouse oc-
cupied by w. C. Wolf, who runs the
Abor farm.
When Prosecutor Joseph E.
Stricken was questioned this morn
ing as to whether or not he suspect
ed the death of the girl had been
caused by anything other than ex-
l. lustion and exposure he said, "On
the face of it there doesn't seem to
be any proof of an attack having
been perpetrated on the girl but /
have ordered the autopsy to be per-
formed in order to find out the ac-
tual cause of death"
At the examination performed
yesterday afternoon no indication of
a criminal attack of any description
was discovered by DR.. John l.. Suy-
dam, county physician. County De-
tective Ferd A. David, Coroner John
G. Hubbard and DIR. Suydam unite
in their conviction that the real
cause of the death of the child was
Nd 81 Z Inr, roh h n
by an unreasoning fear that de-
veloped after she disappeared in the
woods.
The official report of the autopsy
performed yesterday is in the hands
of Prosecutor Stricken, it was given
out this morning. According to
County Detective David's recon-
struction of the actions of the girl
she must have taken the road from
Fresh Ponds to Dayton, skirting the
northern edge of Pigeon Swamp and
finally arriving at the farm where
her body was found by the gunner
yesterday. Indications are that she
took the opposite direction from
that leading to her home, which was
approximately two miles from the
schoolhouse.
David's idea is that after the child
retreated into the woods subse-
quent to the alteration with her
playmates she became frightened
and hid herself. Later on. when
the searching parties appeared in
her vicinity, the detective believes
that her nervous disposition and
tendency to develop unreasoning
fear led her to continue to remain
hidden all night. Continuing her
flight the next day she would then
have arrived at the place where her
body was found.
Detective David also thinks that
the exposure and lack of food, to-
gether with her fright at being
alone in the woods may have caus-
ed her mind to give way so that she
would be unable to cooperate with
parties searching for her.
If the girl took the route sug-
gested by the detective. she mus1
have passed at least six houses or
her way. The fact that no one saw
| her infers that she deliberately
skirted these houses with the in
/ tent to hide herself.
