Attempt to Resume Trolley Service Under Armed Guard Meets Brick Bombardment- = Police Far Outnum- bered.
Patrolmen Discard Badges
 and Weapons to Join Strikers-Tracks SOaped and Blocked-One Man Dying From Bullet Wounds

New Orleans July P-Niolence met violence today in the four-day street car strike as the company at tempted 10 resume service with lm- ported operators under heavy guard The launching of three street cars resulted in two strikers being shot down, one with a bullet through the head, innumerable skulls being bruised from thrown bricks and swinging sticks and further vandal- ism.
 First Car Driven Back
 The disturbance centered around the Canal street barn. where the cars were started. The first was greeted with a shower of brickbats and was driven back to the barn after 20 minutes operation. A second car was then started and a mob of more than thousand men and a few women stormed it with bricks and sticks.
 The police guard, armed with shot guns and pistols. fired volley into the air but as the mob pressed on, they lowered their weapons and aimed above the heads of the crowd.
 One Man Believed Dying
 Sylvan ThibodauX was shot through the head and was taken to hospital in what physicians believ- ed was a dying condition. William Foret got a bullet in the left shoul- der from the same volley.
 Police reserves, heavily armed, rushed to the scene in response tI ; riot call and attempted to drive the crowd back. Literally hundreds of minor injuries were reported and the crowd yelled swore and repeatedly attempted to storm the car.
 The second car, with broken win dow panes, got through Canal street to the boos and cheers of pedes- trians. This car returned to the barn and a third was started out. The crowd stopped it a block away with storm of bricks but the car got an- other start and went around the belt line, where it encountered soaped tracks and blocked rights of way.
 Second Battle Staged
 When it started back for the ba'S 1t was stopped in the middle of Ale street while the crowd of strikers and sympathizers rained a heavy brick attack. Police fought desper- ately, but the crowd outnumbered them.
 Three policemen threw up thei. badges and arms amid the cheers of the crowd and joined the strikers The patrol wagons were weighted to the aXles as the police made arrests
 The brick vollcy proved too much for an imported motorman on the second car and he disappeared after the third block. Policeman Charles Salathe, former motorman, finding himself deserted by the carman, put one hand on the control and the other on his pistol and drove it down Canal street to the river with bricks striking the car every few feet. H. drove it back to the barn.
 The third car was literally de- molished on the lower end of Canal street when it attempted a second

 Trucks for City Jobs.
 Adding to his complaint of eX- travagance in the employment by the city of trucks and eXcavatins equipment, a charge of lack Of courtesy in the department of pub lie works, Alderman Walter k. Falk today suggested a common council investigation into affairs in that branch of the city govern ment.
 The second ward alderman calls attention to the fact that the con- mittee that investigated the depart ment of public works about two years ago has never been discharged and he suggests the possibility of continuing the probe with the facts which he has uncovered.
 He insists he IS correct in his statement that laborers employed by the city are paid more than fOremen in some instances, but ex- plains that they are employed by different boards. Statistics on the cost of truck hire are given in support of his contention that it would be cheaper for the city to buy than to rent.

COAST SHOTPUTTER
 IS HIT" ON TRACK

LOS ANGELES, May 18.-From a shotputter of mediocre ability to a sprinter consistently capable of 9 4-5 seconds in the 100yard dash was the metamorphosis undergone by Johnny Hill, captain-elect of the University of California at Los Angeles track and field squad.
 The "Bruin Express" as Hill now is called, has been whizzing down southern California's straightaways in such fast times as 9.7 and 9,8, and his competitive sprinting ex- perience was begun only this sea- son. He performed only in the weights last year and had never done any sprinting before this sea- son.
 Hill, who wears glasses, weighs but 142 pounds. His stature, how ever, greatly resembles that of Charley Paddock. His coach, Harry Trotter, predicts that Hill in an- other year will be flashing his spikes to the country's best.

SEVERE ILLNESS
 ENDANCERS MASON

TORT WAYNE, Ind, May 13.- Frankie Mason of Fort Wayne, who in 1920 was America's greatest fly weight boxer, is seriously i'll with tuberculosis. He has been unable for several months to work at his trade as a printer.
 Mason and Jimmy Wilde fought a sensational 12-round battle in New York in 1920, at a time when the Englishman was the worlds flyweight champion. Wilde won, but his margin was slight.
 Mason quit the ring several years ago after his hands gave out. All through his ring career he was handicapped by brittle hands, and he seldom finished bout with all his knuckles in their right places.
 At the time of his success there was little interest in the division and purses were small.
