 The assailants drove up to the hotel in touring car and leaving the motor running. sent a bell boy to fetch the detective. After a short conversation. Bickley was seen to place one foot on the running board. shot was heard and he fell dead. The slayers sped away in their au- tomobile.
 Police. Investigating the case to. day, were unable to advance a req son for the shooting and hotel off cials likewise were at ! loss to as- sign motive.
 A shotgun was used. fired directly into Bickley's chest. Two additional clues were at hand-one a report that the automobile of the slayers bore a Georgia license plate and the other the possibility that one of the two in the machine may have been a woman. adduced from the fact that Bickley was seen to lift his hat as he approached.
 Except for pair of brass knuckles, the detective was un- armed.

E. W. CHRIST ASKS
 SUPPORT FOR G. O.P.
Hlsh Tariff Necessary for Work.

Stating that . republican admins
 tration. national. state and local. can
 be of better service to the people
 than . democratic one. and at the
 same time enumerating why he be-
 lieved that . republican administra- tion is more valuable. Ernest w.
 Christ. republican candidate for
 state senator made his first cam-
 paign address in the Central Junior
 High school. The attendance was
 small.
 No matter what our friends the democrats want to make you be-
 lieve. the most important issue in the
 present campaign is the tariff ques- tion." he said. "The republican party for 75 years has stood for the pro- lection of the workingman and firmly believe that the average American laborer wishes to continue the high standard of living. which he is used to. and the only way this can continue is by maintaining high protective tariff wall against foreign competition"
 The speaker ridiculed the attitude of the democrats on this question and stated that he could not see how 8 commission appointed under dem ocratic rule to arrange tariff trou- bles could do anything to help the situation. He also said that Connecti- cut always stood for high protective tariff rates and that because of this there was and is . strong feeling against this state in the south, where, he said. . high tariff wall is rot favored. In this respect he said. the republican party can be of more service to men employed in local in- dustries than the opposition. as a high tariff will enable the people to continue the high standard of liv- ing to which they became accus- toned. He expressed his belief that q lifetime of existence of such con- ditions cannot be easily changed.
 Mir. Christ spoke of living condi- tions among American families and them with the standards Of living among Europeans. stating that no other workingmen in the world receive 70 high a rate of wag- es per day as American laborers and that if they wish to continue the eame rate and the same standards. there ts but one way of doing 90, by retaining . republican adminis- tration.
 Former Mayor Norman C. Stevens of Hartford praised the republican candidate for the presidency. Her bert Hoover. reviewing his life from Inc time he was orphaned to the lime when as executive engineer of ! large concern he had more than

 constantiy striving to undermine them. She quoted from an address of Mrs. Alfred Brosseau. President General N. s. D. A. R. along these Hines.
 The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. William Pomeroy Felt of New Britain whose topic was "An Inter- |csting Corner of Colonial Connecti |cut." Her entertaining. instructive |paper dealt with the section in which the meeting was held, telling |of the places like Deep River. Essex |6aybrook, Black Hall.

GEN. ALvARO OsREGON. PRESi-
DENT-ELECT OF MEXICO.
ASSASSlNATED
Mexico City, July 17-General
Alvaro Obregon, President elect
of Mexico, was assassinated to-
day.
The assassination took place
at a banquet at a restaurant near
Mexico { ity shortly after two
o'clock this afternoon. The as
sassin, who was not Immediate
ly identified, was arrested.
General Obregon was shot five
times through the body.
The restaurant where the
shooting occurred is in the town
of San Angel, II miles south of
Mexico City.
Mexico City, July 19.-Police
identified the slayer as Jose De
Leon Toran, %, art student, and
a native of Lagos, in the state
of Jalisco
Special police guards were
placed tonight around the resid-
ences of all prominent support
ers of the dead General Alvaro
Obregon. following the arrest
and questioning of a suspicious
character found lettering near
the home of Senator Tomas A !.
Robinson, Obregonista leader.
The newspaper FL Universal
Grafico declares that police are
investigating reports, the source
of which is unrevealed, that
some of the former leaders of
the League for the Defense of
Religious Liberty recently were
involved in a plot against Cen
eral Obregon.
The problem of Mexico's i'm
mediate political future will rest
in the hands of congress made
up mainly of supporters. of the
late President elect Alvaro Obre-
gon. which by a writ issued to-
day, will meet July 80.
In the meantime, Mexico, ma
tionwide. will observe a nine-day
period of mourning for the pol
itical leader who was shot down
by an assassin Tuesday. His
body tonight was speeding north
ward on a special train.
The activity of police and Off
cials endeavoring to determine
those intellectually response
BILE" for General Obregon's slay-
ing was redoubled today. Mum
erous arrests were made, but the
names of those taken in custody
were not made public.
Indications were more insiS-
tent than ever tonight that sup
porters of the late president
elect will attempt to continue
President Gales as the head OF
the state if it can be done with
any shadow of legal sanction.
Their plan is said to be to pro
pose General Gales for the pre-
sidency pro TEN, not as presi-
dent and thus eliminating viola
tion of the constitution which
forbids the chief executive from
succeeding himself.
Friends of General Gales as.
sert most strongly that he does
not desire to continue in his post
and has been anticipating with
much pleasure his retirement to
the private life of a dairy farm
er, but he has been told, by the
very men responsible for the
election of General Obregon as
his successor, that the country
needs his leadership and that
discrimination of orderly gov
ernment is threatened unless he
agrees to carry on.
