The body found Friday in the wooded

sau county detectives said last night
Postal receipts for a registered pack

1874 Fourth street, Canton, Ohio, We're
accepted as partial proof of the iden-
tity. With the identity clinched some
time to-day the police expect to make
headway in the search for the men
who beat him to death.
Yesterday the police gave much Of
their attention TO the movements of an
automobile which was seen near the
location OF the body about ten days
ago The information leading to the
search for the automobile was provided
by Frank Winter, a farmer. who lives
near by
Winter told the county detectives that
the appearance of the machine in that
particular spot caused him to give II
more than usual attention He walked
close enough to 1t TO distinguish the fact

JUDGE SEES POLITICS
IN ATTACKS ON POLICE
BaseIess Charges Deplored
by Mitchell May.

Judge Mitchell May of the County
Court, in Brooklyn. in addressing mem
bers OF the February Kings county
Grand Jury yesterday protested against
attacks made on the Police Department
as whole and said that 'baseless and
indisorimlnate" charges have been made
against police officers for political pur
poses. Judge May also asserted that he
had never found much OF fact In the as
sertion that a 'crime wave" existed In
Greater New York, but that on the CON
trary crime conditions prevail in this
city to lesser degree than in any large
city IN the world.
Judge May told the Grand Jury that
attacks upon the Police Department
'hold up TO contempt the testimony of
police officers in the prosecution of crime.
They weaken, and recently In a number
of cases. have killed the strength of po-
lice officers testimony before petty ju-
ries
"Al men know that on the eve of a
municipal campaign the most fruitful
source OF attacks Is the Police Depart
ment. In the heat of local elections
people read these attacks with avidity
and are prone to believe them without
any thought Of securing real proof or
careful investigation. 1t IS most un-
fortunate at this time that these at
tacks are being made for political emer-
gencies, and by political worn out has
beens' who are trying to rejuvenate
themselves politically and whose record
shows that in their ambition they had
little regard for life, liberty and repu-
tation."

began search of garages.
IN q garage at the rear OF l62 Wilson

according TO their report. They arrested
on charges OF felonious assault and rob
berry Joseph Accardi, his brother
Charles Of 162 Wilson avenue; Charles
Tardi, 306 Floyd street, and Michael
Balistri, 1SS Melrose street Brooklyn.
Joseph Accardi also was charged with

1t is generally believed in police cir
cles that the establishment Of such

and municipal-throughou the country

been followed by other organizations. II
is not the intention that there shall be

PLANS NEW BUREAU

Commissioner Enright Invites
40 Police Chiefs to Lunch
con to Explain Scheme.

A plan for central police bureau o.
information covering the metropolitan
district. By which the movements of
criminals within a radius of 100 miles
or this city win be made known almost
simultaneously to the police OF every city
Included in the district. has been evolved
~ Police Commissioner Richard E.
Enright. He has invited the chiefs OF
police or forty cities and towns to attend
a luncheon at the Police Club on Tues
day at o'clock, when he will present
the plan in detail. In addition to the
bureau Of information the Commissioner
viii propose coordination of laws and
ordinances and increased plice coopera-
ton.
IN a statement issued from Police
Headquarters, Commissioner Enright
said that past experience had shown that
criminals infrequently went far from
home, and that with central bureau II
would be possible to keep them more
accurately under observation.
The visiting police chiefs will be taken
Ia CITY Hall at IL o'clock to be pre-
sented to Mayor Hylan, and viii re-
view 500 police recruits. The statement
by Commissioner Enright follows:
"The conference is called for the pur-
pose OF working out ways and means
Of handling the police problem within
this territory Among matters TO be
considered will be coordination of laws
and ordinances, including traffic regu-
lations throughout this district, and the
establishment Of a central source Of po-
lice information which will greatly aid
in rounding up criminals operating with
in the district. Criminals living in the
city of New York operate in the suburbs
and in the nearby cities and towns, and
criminals from outside the city come
here to pursue their criminal operations.
"While there exists TO some extent
form OF cooperation and coordination of
police work within this territory. it is
by no means as effective as 1t should
be. This conference will discuss the
matter of rendering this service more
efficient BY the creation Of a central
bureau Of information.
"There will also be an exchange of
ideas concerning other police problems,
but particularly the matter of the cre-
alton of an international police bureau
ut Washington. The proposition per-
taining to Federal legislation needed to
bring about a central police bureau in
Washington will be gone into fully.
