The refusal of Governor Cox to send troops to this ,' city In an effort to control the strike ' of the employes of the Cincinnati Trac- tlon Company, after spectacular riots , In the early parts of the day had in - fluenced Mayor Hunt to ask for the i militia, was followed late in the day by the filing- of a petition by the City of ' Cincinnati for a receiver for the com pany.

Day Killed VItk RJotinsr.' Rioting was almost continuous to- J day, from the time the company at- - tempted to operate the cars out of the . Brighton barns until they withdrew cars from the streets at noon. While a - riot that occurred at the Brighton barns ' this morning probably proved the most serious, yet one a little later at Fourth and Bryan streets was more spectacu ' lar. Small steel beams, barrels of plas- ter and bags of cement were hurled on a passing car from the upper floors ' of the (4-story building of the Union . .Central Life Insurance Company. The car was wrecked, but the list of t injured comprised mostly men hurt to ' the extent of bruises and small cuts. Crews and Officials Beaten. ; The crews, as well as the employes of the company riding on the first car i out of the Brighton barns were assault ' ed and beaten almost into insensibility and three of them are now at a hos pital In a precarious condition. Various pother riots in which crews of the cars were beaten or forced to flee for their 1 lives were common. I Mayor Hunt asked Governor Cox for troops after the riot at Fourth avenue and Vine street. Receiving a negative - answer, he reported to Adjutant-Oen- - eral Wood, and late this afternoon, ' when he bad received no reply from ; the Adjutant-General, Instructed City .

Governor Cox. in refusing to send the military here, said be bad information that the police had not exhausted their resources to prevent rioting here, and 1 In answer Mayor Hunt told the Gover ', nor that notwithstanding any informa I tion be had received, rioting was preva- lent In this city during the entire Z morning, and that the police were pow- erless to cope with the situation in case anything like a regular schedule of I running of cars was attempted by the traction company. Tonight the streetcar system Is com pletely paralysed and the strikers ap- pear content when this condition pre- vails, but rioting has been Invariably resumed when the company attempted to operate on anything like an extend ' ed scale. .

The marriage of Prince Henry XXXIII of Reuss, and Princess Victoria Margarete, of Prussia, only daughter of Prince Frederick Leopold, of Prussia, was cel ebrated at the new palace here this morning. The ceremonial was the same as Is to be employed in Berlin on May 24 at the nuptials of her friend and comrade. Princess Victoria Luise, the only daughter of Emperor William. The German Empress took charge of the bride's ante-nuptlal toilette and placed on the young Princess head the historical Princess' crown which is taken from the imperial treasury, only for tho marriages . of Prussian Prin cesses. The grand chaplain of the court. Dr. Ernest Dryander. conducted the re ligious rite. At the wedding breakfast held after the ceremony. Emperor William made a short speech. A "card court" Was then held, tho Emperor and Empress and the young Prince and Princes reviewing what ap peared almost a military parade of the I assembled guests, who walked In pro cession through the ballroom of the palace and courtesled or bowed the instant of passing by the small table at which their majesties and the young couole were seated. This ceremony takes its name from the ancient custom of the hosts play. ing cards during the function, but only the name and tne taoie are sun pre. served. CONFERENCE MEET ENDED (Continued From Flrt Pae.) suits is the type for the majority." said the speaker. "But we must arrange our school system so that opportunities will be left ahead for any Individuals of marked ability. "When it comes to the time that a man on the street corner, without any knowledge of existing conditions in the community, uneducated In the ways to meet the economic and social problems which confront the state, per haps barely able to read and write, is able by the force of his speech and example to hold up the appropriations for the institution of highest learning in the atate. then It is time that we should see to it that every boy and girl In this Commonwealth should re ceive an education which will enable him to cope with these problems of citizenship. Trained Leaders la Great Need. "The fact, however, must be borne in mind that the supreme duty of the state, beyond raising the masses to the general tableland of Intelligence is to train leaders. ti, nuMtioii is often asked: Is training for leadership the business of the state to educate the children of a few?" If there Is anything that is the business of the state, this is it. "They cannot be left to private schools. In the first place, the pri vate endowment in the West is In adequate, and. In the second place, the private school, in Its demand for a number of students, unconsciously lowers Its standards." The Kural School Problem of Ore gon" was the subject of a paper by J. C. Meurman. of tho United States Bu reau of Education. Mlasloa Is Fulfilled. "The old district plan has fulfilled Its mission." declared the speaker. "In the work of changing our school sys tem to conform with modern needs the county and state superintendences must be divorced from politics. We must build up our rural high schools." Professor Cubberly, of Stanford Uni versity, made a plea for greater effi ciency iu teaching. "Favoritism among teachers must be abolished," he said. "The principle of life tenure In office or in the school is dangerous. A teacher should be discharged the moment he cannot handle his Job. We. should look first to the Interest of the child and not to that of the teacher." John H. Lewis. State Engineer, prophesied that the land would be come a great iron and steel manufac turing center, in speaking at the after noon session, which was devoted to en. gineering problems. "The rapid perfection of the electric furnace, coupled with the abundant and cheap water power, convenient rail and water transportation and the ex pected influx of cheap foreign labor with the opening of the Panama Canal, will bring about the desired result." declared Mr. Lewis.

Frank Irvine, of the Oregon Journal, who fell and broke his arm while boarding the train In Port land to attend the conference, and the absence of A. E. Voorhies, of the Rogue River Courier, prevented tho carrying out of the programme for the editors meeting. The newspaper men addressed them selves to a discussion of the cost sys tem in conducting their business. D. C. Sanderson, of the Freewater Press, de scribed his remarkable success In transforming an Insignificant country sheet into a profitable newspaper. In the evening the editors were banqueted by Sigma Delta Chi, the university Journalistic fraternity. The women's meeting, held as a sup plement to the general conference, was largely attended by prominent women from all parts of the state. The dis cussion was divided Into three heads. "What the Women Are Doing for the State," What the University Can Do for the Women of the State" and "What the Women of the State Can Do for the Uni versity." Mrs. Vincent Cook, of Port land, presided. DEMOCRATS LAY PLANS COMING CAMPAIGNS CALL FOR CO-OPERATION PROGRAMME:. President Wilson Said to Approve Joint Proposals of National and Congrerslonal Committees. WASHINGTON, May 17. Officers of the Democratic National and Congres sional committees today mapped out a programme for active co-operation In the coming Congressional and Presi dential campaigns and placed it In the hands of a joint committee, composed of National Committeemen Palmer, of Pennsylvania: Howell, of Georgia; Sells, of Texas, Lynch, of Minnesota, and Cummlngs, of Connecticut, and two Senators and three Representatives acting for the Congressional commit tee. ' President Wilson has expressed him self as being In symoathy with the movement. The Congressional committeemen ex pressed willingness to co-operate and will make their report to the full Con-' gressional committee at a meeting to be held June 3 or 4. Its five members of the Joint committee will be selected then. The permanent organization of the Congressional committee probably ill be effected at the June meeting and a chairman chosen, for which of fice Representative Johnson, of Ken tucky, is tha foremost candidate. Chair man Lloyd and Secretary Page, of the Congressional committee, will confer with President Wilson Monday, and with a committee of Senators during the week, regarding the proposed in crease In representation of Senators on the Congressional committee. It has been suggested that the committee should Include a Senator from every state which is to elect a Senator In 1914 or which now has a Democrat In the Senate. The publicity work of the campaign will be divided between the two or ganizations, the Congressional commit tee continuing to direct its activities toward propaganda regarding speeches and other matters concerning Congress, while the National committee publicity will take a broader scope and not du plicate this exclusively Congressional literature. The National committeemen felt that they had a direct interest In the Congressional as well as the Presi dential campaign, now that Senators are elected by direct popular vote. POLICE SUPPRESSED. BELOW SNAP ARSON PLAN VARIED British Militants Set Fire Tenanted House. to TENANTS PUT IN DANGER Adjoining Laboratory of Cambridge University Also Serionsly Dam aged Gunpowder Found in Railway Station. LONDON. May 17. That the militant suffragettes have taken the words of representatives of the Women s Po litical Union, who only a day ago de clared their policy was to violate law without resorting to physical violence against persons as a sort of challenge, was Indicated today at Cambridge, where there was a radical departure from the policy of limiting the actlvi ties of the "arson squad" to unoccupied residences. The militants today made an attempt to destroy a tenanted residence at the university town. The fire was set by an ingenious contrivance of clockwork, powder and oil-soaked rags. Profiting by the mistakes of the past, the per petrators had' so adapted the quantity of powder to the other inflammables used as not to blow the infernal ma chine to pieces when the fire was set. This has been the cause of many of the recent fiascos in the work of the incendiary suffragettes and overzeal may be said to have prevented many a disastrous fire. Today's attempt was made on a house adjoining one of tl5e laboratories of the university. The occupants were not present and by the time smoke was detected from the outside the blaze had gained considerable headway. The in terior woodwork was greatly damaged and the fire spread to the laboratory next door, only the prompt work of the fire fighters preventing an explo sion of chemicals, which for a time war. much feared. Another canister of gunpowder and slugs was found at Boxmoor Station in Hertfordshire, on the London & North western Railway.

Veterans of North and South Ex change Greetings and Join in Patriotic Song1 Mayor Per mits Street Meetings. ATLANTA. Ga., May 17. After three days of business sessions at which progress is believed to have been made toward eventual completion of an or panic union between at least two of the three Presbyterian organizations holding general assemblies here, bust ness sessions of those bodies were tem porarily discontinued today. Each will resume active business sessions on Monday morning. Interest in the assemblies of the United and Southern Presbyterian churches today centered in the Joint report of committees containing a pro posed basis of union for the two or ganlzations. On recommendation of the committees, both assemblies agreed to postpone consideration of this basts of union until the convening of the 1914 assemblies. Publication Board Accused. Today's session of the United Pres byterians was taken up by charges that the board of publication has been un businesslike in its methods and mis leading in its reports. Dr. F. M. Milll gan, new manager of the board, was called on to explain the Increase from $34,000 to $100,000 In the mortgage on the publication building. He admitted that methods, "wrong, but not crimi nal," had been practiced. Action on the report was deferred until Monday. A novel feature of the Northern As sembly today was an exchange of greetings between Confederate and Federal veterans of the Civil War. S. B. Scott, of Atlanta camp of the United Confederate Veterans, appeared before the assembly and in extending an Invi tation to the "Sherman veterans" to meet the local camp of Confederate veterans, said: "We will show you that we can forgive and forget that little misunderstanding which caused the memorable fight around this . village 60 years ago." Assembly Joins In Sodk. His remarks were greeted with cheers. A "Sherman veteran" sprang on a chair and began singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," and the entire assembly Joined with enthusiasm. All of the commissioners were guests at a reception at Agnes Scott College this afternoon. More than 2000 were present Commissioners .from all the churches assembled jointly again tonight to dis cuss "The Relation of the Church to Social and Industrial Conditions." J. A. McDonald, of the Canadian Presby telran Church, was the principal speak er. A feature or the night meeting was several musical selections given by 300 negro girls from an Eastern seminary. Scores of the visiting ministers will occupy Atlanta pulpits tomorrow ana by special permission of Mayor Wood ward street services will be permitted during the remaining sessions of the assemblies.
