FORTS TO OPERATE CARS
WITH sTRIKEBRAkERs.

CINCINNATI, May 1S.-Following
out his determination to resort to the
courts in an endeavor to settle the
street car strike, Mayor Henry T.
Hunt, through City Solicitor Bettman,
yesterday afternoon filed suit in Judge
Georgehan's Common Pleas court ask
ing for a received for the Cincinnati
Traction company.
Action on the suit was postponed
until Monday morning on motion OF
the traction company's attorneys, who
asked for more time to consider the
matter. 1t was stated, however, that
the company officials are in favor of
such action.
The action today on the part of the
mayor was taken only after a refusal
was received to his request to Gov
ernor Cox and Acknowledgement
Wood, of the National Guard. to send
troops to Cincinnati to duell riots in
various parts of the city. following
the attempt of the Cincinnati Trac-
ton company to operate cars on
twelve routes.
Police Force Weak.
No attempt was made to police the
cars today, it being stated that the
police force was not sufficiently strong
to do so.
Early in the morning cars were run
out of Avondale. Walnut Hills,
Brighton. and Eighth street An Ell
boron avenue car had reached Eighth
and Vine streets when a man walk
cd into the center of the track and
deposited a large box in the street.
The strikebreakers on the car sought
to remove the obstruction. Instantly
rain of missiles was directed at
them. From every window in the
lofty thirty-four story skyscraper oil
the Union Central Life Insurance
company came bricks and missiles OF
every description. Huge granite paw
ing blocks crashed through the car
roof, and In few moments 1t gave
the appearance Of a sieve.
Shoot ut Building.
Numerous shots were directed &c
the windows in the building, but none
proved effective. A tour of the build
ing by the police resulted in no ar
rests.
While rioting reigned supreme In
the center of the city, in other parts
where attempts were made to operate
cars. some strikers put the crews to
rout, injuring twelve of them. and
damaging the cars to great extent.
Seeing that further attempts to OPP
crate the system would be useless, all
cars which had not been abandoned
by the crews of strikebreakers were
ordered into the barns at noon.

LECTURE COURSE
IS GIFT OF CLASS
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
ITS FOUNDATION GIVEN
TRINITY COLLEGE.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.l
TRINITY COLLEGE. DURHAM,
N c., May 1s.--One thousand dollars
for the foundation OF a permanent
memorial lecture to be given every
two years at Trinity college, is the
class Gift that has been donated to
the college by the class OF 1913, the
present graduating class.
This was decided by the senior
class at its final meeting few days
ago. The subject of the lecture
course must be something of a
sociological or an economical nature.
The course Is to alternate with the
Avery Bible lectures. which are given
every two years. and the first is to
come In the spring OF 1916. The money
is subscribed by the members of the
class signing notes for their share of
the sum. this to be payable a little
more than year from their grad
uation.
1t has become a traditional custom
for the outgoing senior class here to
donate some sort Of present to the
college as 4 memorial to itself. and
results Of this are seen in the flag
pole, the sun dial the stone bench
and other things now on the campus.
Last years class gave the money for
the erection Of a row OF electric lights
for the front drive. and these are now
being set up. and will be ready for
commencement.
1t Ii, thought that the gift OF the
class Of 1918 is possibly the most APP
propriate and certainly one OF the
most highly appreciated Of any that
have ever been given. The lectures
will be a permanent memorial to the
clans and will be of great yalue To
the community for all years to coma.

HAPGOOO EXPECTS
To ALTER WEEKLY
WILL ELIMINATE FICTION AND
PICTURES EXCEPT TO ILLUM-
NATE ARTICLES.

NEW YORK May 12--Norman
Hapgood's associates in the recent
purchase OF Harper's Weekly, were
revealed today as the Mcclure Pub
locations. Incorporated, the company
which already publishes McCiure's
Magazine. the Ladies' World. and the
Housekeeper.
Mr. Hapgood said today that. with
the exception Of Himself. the officers
and managers of the Harper's Week
~ company Will be the same as those
of the Mcclure Publications. His out
line Of intention regarding the week
ly follows.
For some time Harper's Weekly
will remain unchanged in appearance
and nature OF contents. Important
changes are in contemplation, how
ever. The editorial policy OF the pub
lie will include a full authoritative and
active treatment OF public affairs
Washington news will be very prom
inently featured. The attitude of the
paper toward the progressive policies
OF the present administration will be
distinctly favorable. and Its attitude
toward progressive movements OF all
kinds will be one of energetic support,
whatever party may be leading these
movements -------
IF the approaching campaign turns
out to be a contest between a machine
ticket, on the one side. and on the 9TH
err a ticket selected by the citizens
municipal committee, and endorsed by
a number of the political organizations
Harper's Weekly will take an active
part on the fusion side"
The sale of the magazine goes into
effect on June LIST. probably the
changes contemplated by the new edi-
tor will be made about August LIST
Mr. Hapgood said in an interview to-
night that his plans were tentative, but
he thought he would print no fiction
and no pictures except as they would
help to illuminate the weekly's articles
Mr.. Hapgood Will have full control
of the editorial policy. He expects &c
keep on as chairman of the fusion
committee in this city.
For the present at least the name
Harpers Weekly will be retained.
