That the body of an unidentified negro, found tied to a tree In, Riverside park north of the Casino gardens with a rope abuut Its neck, was brought there following a lynching at some other point, was the theory generally accepted by police officials last night. The position In which the body was found, leaning loosely, against a small sapling almost too small to bear the weight, the feet crossed, tho rope knotted loosely, and tho clothing disarrayed and covered with dirt, mndo any thought of suicide ridiculous, in the opinion of Inspector Weaver and other olllccrs. A theory offered by tho police is that tho negro was killed following an attack on a woman. No reports of any attack reached headquarters last night.

Several officers suggested the taking of tho body to Riverside park was not only an attempt to conceal the identity of those implicated In tho affair, but was also intended as a warning to other negroes.

Although no one has been found wild saw tho body of tho negro carried to the park, police believe the negro whs first strangled and tho body dragged over tho ground to, a spot whore it was -placed In a conveyance, which brought It to tho parlti Coroner Robinson performed an autopsy in the" city morgue at the' police station last night, and said death was undoubtedly due to strangulation. He admitted the case puzzled hint, but was Inclined to agree with the police Iti scouting the.aulclde theory.

Identification of the body, it is be lieved, was established through a num-1 ber of pay envelopes and several curds found In the man's pocket, bearing tho name of George Tompkins. A few lines scribbled in a small memorandum book gave the same name, under which was written, "born Nov. 1001." The body was discovered about o'clock by Joe Boater. 281S West Tenth street, while he was walking along White river In a grovo of trees lust north of the Casino Gardens.

Thefts of merchandise from New York Central railroad care on an enormous scale resulted In indictment today by a Federal grand Jury of railroad detectives, merchants, and farmers, who uro alleged to have made up a ring of thieves and fences that handled goods worth 000,000 a year for tho last three years.

Whisky and alcohol comprised the chief loot of tho ring during the year. It was said by Peter J. Bentley of New special attorney for the New York- Central. Since January, 1821, twenty-three robberies of cars containing liquor have been reported and the claims on these total $750,000. With all the alleged connivance of railroad police, detailed to guard the trains, yardmasters, switchmen and other railroad employes, it was posslulu for thieves to remove poods from a car and reseal it, so that the looting would not be discovered at once.

Tho car selected, Mr. Bentley said, would ho taken out of a train and put on a switch. After the car had been robbed and tho contents loaded Into trucks, the seals would be replaced and the car put on an outbound train witht no records of the delay. Long Inquiry Made. This system, he snid, made it difficult to locate the point at which the thefts occurred, and It required many weeks of work to point to the Buffalo and other Niagara frontier points as the probable center of operations.

Among the men Indicted are John J. Malouey, an ex-chief of the New York Central police force here, and several inspectors, lieutenants and plain clothes detectives who were discharged severul CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE. LIEUT. JACK MADE ADMIRAL OF U. S.

President Taft, In a message to Congress, once called attention to the necessity for this reorganization of government agencies, (ind the late Secretary of Interior Lane also gave public expression to the urgent need for such a change.
