by the police yesterday, though an ef-
fort was made last night to connect il
with the attempted suicide of young
Italian of the same Italian colony
about midnight Saturday. II was re-
ported that a vain search had been
made To discover the place where the
child met her end.
The child's mother is so i'll from grisI
that physicians fear she may not live.
The police have only two clews to
work upon-thc blue and white ban
dana handkerchief which was jammcd
in her mouth when her body was found
Saturday evening, floating in Butter
milk Channel and the sugar bag which
had been drawn over her.
Coroner's Physicians Wuest and
Pabst performed an autopsy on the
childs body at the Morgue. where II
had been taken from the Am!ty street
police station. Afterward DR. Pabst
said that il had been misused at some
time, though he could not tell exactly
when because the body had been In the
water so long He said also that the
child had been strangled before she
was thrown into the river.
The theory Of the police now is that
the person who lurcd her away from
her home last Wednesday morning
strangled her i'm an attempt to check
her screams and had then Immediately
tried To dispose of her body by sinking
it in the water The weight he put In
the sugar bag with the body evidently
tore its way loose, allowing the body 20

inclined To believe that the girl was

The William J.. Burns detective
agency, according TO information which
came to the Tribune yesterday, has
been engaged on a general investiga-
tion of the police graft Of New YORK
Citv for almost three months. Burns
has been backed, as in other cities
where he has undertaken similar but
smaller jobs, by n number ot pubic
snirited citizens, and the Rosenthal
murder was one OF the warnings given
by the underworld of the city TO any
NJ it's denizens who might be tempted
TO give up information TO aid Burns.
This story came out through man
who has been close friend OF the fa-
nous detective. He asserted that
Burns was asked to begin an investt-
CATION Of the police system OF New
York Immediately after the raid on
Dollar Johns" gambling house on the
East Side last April. The reports
which followed that raid. intimating
that some OF the police had got away
with the gamblers bankroll, startled
neonle who did not customarly follow
such news into the belief that police
graft in New York. stunted by the
Lexow investigation, had again become
a fiourishing plant.
Burns then began widespread IN
yestigation of New York's police 'sys-
tenn In all its ramifications. AS his
work progressed rumors began to go
through the underworld of the city that
something unexplainable was going
on" said this friend of Burnss yester-
dag.

close friends ever since. McCombs
was born in Ashley. Ark, Dec. 2e,
1875, and after being graduated
from Princeton and then Harvard
Law school, he went to New York
City to seek his fortune. He enter
ed 50 clerk in big law firm, where
his struggles, disappointments and
little triumphs were very similar to
those experienced by other aspiring
young lawyers who have'oo pull and
no influential friends. only William

characterized by thoroughness ana

McCombs climbed up until he at
tanned a position of prominence at
the New York bar, and always found
time to keep in touch with politics
He ran for assemblyman once aad
was defeated, but cut a large Re
publican majority down to almost
nothing. That was about the ex-
tent of his personal adventures into
politics until last spring. Then all
he undertook was the management
of Wilson's literary bureau; but the
man had been found for the place.
Gradually McCombs' genius for or
ganization and grasp of detail was
called upon more and more as ext

without design, William F. Nc
