ference with Senator Gore, in charge
of the Wilson campaign in the west.
Spreckles, who supported Senator La
Toilette for the nomination, announc-
ed shortly after the Baltimore CON
vention that he would support Wilson.
Discussing the political situation on
the Pacific coast, Spreckles said
I'm California there is a growing

Unidentified Foreigner, Stone & Web
ster Employe, Found in Mouth
of Alley After Being
slugged.
TEETH KNOCKED OUT
Another Mexican Thought to Have
Done the slussins During a
Quarrel Near Eighth and
Johnson.

An unidentified Mexican, unable,
when sober and uninjured, to speak
the English language, was found in an
unconscious condition last night at
midnight in the mouth of the alley on
South Eighth street, between Main
and Johnson. The Mexican was bleed
ing at the mouth and an examination
showed that his teeth had been knock
ed out, the blow. evidently delivered
with rock or other blunt instrument,
rendering him unconscious. He was
removed to Graham hospital
1t was few moments before mid
night that hurry-up call was sent to
the police station, saying that man
was either dead or dying in the alley
referred to above When the police
patrol arrived on the scene they found
the Mexican covered with dirt and
CRIME where he had fallen, and sur
rounded by good sized group of ne
groes unable to explain the cause of
the Mexiean's predicament The most
that could be learned, which was only
deduced after the stories told by the
negroes had been put together bit by
bit, was that the Mexican had quarrel
ed with another Mexican, and that the
other Mexican had seized jagged
stone during the encounter and struck
his antagonist in the mouth, and then
fled. At later hour he had not been
captured.
Before being taken to the hospital
the injured Mexican was taken to the
police station, along with two other
Mexicans who happened along Eighth
street when their fellow countryman
was PROSTATE in the alley. Both of
them knew the man, but did not know
his name. At the station the Mexican
revived and talked to the other Mer-
leans about him. A hurried examina-
ton did not reveal any fatal wounds,
although there was rrmor in the
vicinity Of where the man had been
injured, to the effect that he had been
shot, in addition to being slugged with
1.-THE rock The Injured Mexican, along
with the other two who accompanied
him to the station, are Stone & Web

of the ropes supporting his swinging
scaffold gave way and he was pitched
to the concrete sidewalk three floors
below. Some say that Hockaday
struck an awning at the first floor
and bounced to the sidewalk, striking
on his head, while others say that he
struck the sidewalk in a sitting posi-
ton, and that the scaffolding followed
him in his flight downward and struck
him on the head after he was on the
sidewalk.
Hockaday was picked up from the
walk in a dazed condition and remov.
ed to the hospital Blood was stream
