conclusion that the mons surface is
very hot during the height of the lu-

covered the body of a man floating In the
river in the tidal basin yesterday afternoon
about 1 o'clock, and promptly notified the
police. Members of the crew Of the police
boat went from the harbor precinct to the
tidal basin and took charge Of the body, re-
moving it to the morgue. An inscription on
the coat lining indicated that the name of
the dead man was probably F. M. Wood,
and that he was from the vicinity OF Char
lottesville, Va, the shoes on his feet bear
ing the name of Charlottesville dealer.
Inspector Boardman wired the CHIEF OF

the relatives and would later advise In

be made Of the body.
and were examined it was found that the
man wore a new gray suit of clothes and a
pair of patent leather shoes. The name l. G.
Bender. Rossiter. Pa, was written on
card that was taken from one OF the pockets
of the coat. 1t appeared that an effort had
been made to tear the strap from the coat
as If 1t had been done for the purpose OF
destroying evidences of Identification, but
the job had not been successful, the name
F. NJ. Wood having been left In the lapel
of the coat of the drowned man was but

which Is taken to Indicate that the Wearer
of 1t was a member Of the Baptist Young
Peoples Union.
In the pockets of the clothing the super
intendent of the morgue found $40 in cash
and a blank application for position in the
War Department. The finding of the appli-
cation blank led the police to believe that
the man came here to get position under
the government, and the torn condition of
the strap of the coat caused the belief that
the man had committed suicide. 1t is under
