CINCINNATI CARS
GUARDED BY POLICE

Cincinnati, O., May 14.-The first
effort to operate cars since the nego-
tiations with the strikers were broken
off was made by the. traction company
at 9 o'clock this morning. Surrounded
by police on foot and mounted, three
cars were started from the Avondale
barns for the downtown districts.
Police and detectives were stationed
along the route. No police rode on the
cars. Mayor Hunt trailed the cars in
his automobile.
Before thefcars started on the trip
the police were given Instructions to
act vigorously in case of trouble.
The strike today gave every evi-
dence of settling into long one. No
efforts were made by the strikers or
their sympathizers this morning to in
terfere with the operation of three
Avondale line cars which operated
slowly and carried no passengers other
than the men placed upon them by
the company.
Mayor Hunt said that during the day
other cars would probably be put out
on the different lines and that they
would be afforded full police protec.
ton. .a., ..~
No word came from the strikers
headquarters today and with the f,l-
ture plans they may have been kept
secret.

F|L|BUSTER ON
To PREVENT AN
APPOINTMENT
Republicans in Senate Re-
fuse to Confirm Wilson's
Nomination Of w. J. Har-
ris to Succeed Durand.

Washington, D. c., May IA The
senate republicans began their first
big fight on President Wilson's nomi-
nations last night when the appoint
ment of w. J. Harris Of Georgia as
director of the census, succeeding E..
Dana Durand, was taken up in
executive session. For nearly five
hours the senate played at cross pur-
poses on the Harris nomination with
out ever entering into discussion of
the merits of the case. @ .&G
The republicans forced roll call after
roll call on the question of procedure
and in support OF tactics which the
democrats termed dilatory. Finally
when the membership on both sides
had dwindled away to almost nothing
adjournment was taken until today at
noon.
Republican leaders have served no.
tice that they, expect to keep up the
fight against the confirmation of Har-
ris until July /, at least, when Mr..
Durand has announced his intention to
quit.
The republican fight centers largely
on the contention that offices requir-
ing technical knowledge or scientific
attainments should not be given as
political rewards, but that qualifica-
tion and experience should be the only
yard-stick. Mr.. Harris was chairman
of the democratic state executive com
mittee of George in the last campaign,
and is known as an original Wilson
man. His appointment was one Of the
early ones to important offices sent in
by President Wilson.
Such persistent opposition to any
one presidential nomination has not
been manifested in the senate for
many years. Hundreds Of former Presi-
dent Taft's appointments we're held
up during the closing days OF the last
session. hut attacks were not directed
toward any Individual nomination, and
at no time did the senate spend so
many hours behind closed doors in the
discussion Of such appointments.

of Turkey Willing
to Surrender His Charge
Mehmed V. Tires of Trou-
bles as Monarch, But is
Urged by Heir to Retain
the Throne.

Sultan Mehmed V. of Turkey, has
become so tired of the present situa-
ton in which he finds his country at
the conclusion of the Balkan war that
he wants to get out. Seldom is it that
a king wants to give up his Job, but
the foreign complications into which
the Turks have been thrown are alto
gether too much for the nerves of the
present ruler.
Strange to say the heir who would
succeed him Is urging him to stick to
the Job. Youssouf Sin Eddine, the son,
who would become sultan, has argued
with the father to hold on. In fact,
it is limited in dispatches from Con
stantinople, that the heir himself may
refuse to take up the burden If his
father quits.
