Unconscious, his face swollen almost twice its normal size apparently as the result of blows, an unidentified man was found lying in a small alley leading from Ridge avenue to Grant 6treet, a short distance north oi Allen street, last night shortly before 11 o'clock. The man, his clothes devoid of anything that might identify him, was removed to the Sacred Heart hospital. A physician at the hospital this morning said the man appeared to be in a serious condition. Possibility was expressed by police that the man, judged to be about 40 years old, might have been attacked and robbed of bonus bonds or a benus check.

A call was received by police from Jacob Max, paid fireman at the Hi-bernia company, that the man had been found lying in the alley. Officer Michael Flood went there with th" patrol but called for the ambulance, as the man appeared to be in a serious condition Officers Strohl and Ruth took the ambulance to the alley. They found the unconscious man lying half-way down the narrow artery and took him to the hospital. Residents of the section were unable to identify the man. This same alley was the scene 25 years ago of a fatal stabbing.

It is narrow, unlighted and seldom traversed at night.

This improvement is a most notable one, for it will protect properly the thou sands of people who each year wit ness the races from along what was formerly a frail wooden fence. Yesterday portions of the old wood fence were removed, and excavations started for the concrete wall which will take Its place. The new wall will be low enough to allow complete vis ibility of all parts of the track. Particularly important from a safe ty standpoint will be this new concrete wall on Saturdays of Fair Week when automobile races are always a feature. The wall is being built strong ly enough to withstand almost any kind of a crash at any automobile races of the future.

Atop the fence will be erected an iron grille of an ornamental nature, similar to that now erected on the wall directly in front oi tne grandstand. In the various exhibition buildings men are at work with hammer, saw and paint brush, and the improvements as a whole are probably the most extensive undertaken in recent years. The grandstand especially Is coming in for its share, inasmuch as hundreds of seats are being repaired ana made like new.

Steady Decrease Of Relief Rolls Weston Kelsey Says That on Whole Outlook Is Encouraging Since the middle of March the families needing relief have been decreasing steadily, said Weston Kelsey, head of the Emergency Relief of this district yesterday when in conference with the executive committee of the Community Chest.

In Lehigh county, said Mr. Kelsey, there are 3,078 families on relief of which 2,350 are in' Allentown. They average 3 7-10 person." to a family. There are also 3,195 on work relief. Mr, Kelsey estimates that If the WPA should be discontinued there would be about half of the work relief on relief or a total of about 4,700.

By the end of the summer he estimates tlia there will be only about 2,500 in the county and 1,800 to 2,000 in the cit- By that time, should the WPA be dropped the total cases be about 4,100. For the month of April the cost per case was $7.43. This is made up as follows: Food, milk, fuel, clothing, rent, .59. The cost for 2,000 in Allentown dur. inr the summer will be about $60,000.

Ia the entire district supervised by-Mr. Kelsey and consisting of Lehigh, Carbon, Northampton, Pike and Monroe counties the cost is about $40,000 a month. Since March 15 about 2,600 have been dropped due to private employment. The entire area has less than 5,700 cases at this time.

Rotarians See Death Mask Made Interesting Demonstration at Northampton Club's Meeting An interesting demonstration of the making of a plastique portraiture or soluble silk life and death mask was a feature of last night's meeting of the Northampton Rotary club, with Albert Schisler, well-known Northampton funeral director, in charge of the classification meeting.
