 At a meeting of the Evergreen Civic Improvement Club. the following res- olutions were unanimously adopted:
 First. That the club petition the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to improve its property around the pas senger station by the planting of grass plot or flowers.
 Second. That a request be sent to the city council for an ordinance pro- hibiting splitting on the sidewalks.
 Third. That the club employ man one day out Of every week to clean up the streets"
 It is the purpose of this organiza- ton to devote its every energy for the present at least to the keeping of the streets Of Evergreen in moro cleanly condition. The work will ne- cess9rily be slow for two rasons, namely: The movement is entirely new here and It's importance is not gen erally ralized; second, the lack of funds. This organization, under the. management of it's eificient president, Miss Daisy Burnett, has already &C., compltshed much towards the inn provement of the streets and their work has only just begun.

RAGE HEARING UP. Latonla Track Against Kentucky State ' naaama.i C0EraHnnhaMaOm


 Cincinnati. Ohio Jan. 24.-Unless the unforeseen occurs the case of La Gonia Agricultural Association against the Kentucixy v State Racing Commits sion will be heard before Circuit Judge Matt L.. Harbeson. in Owing 9on.4 during this week. The hearing will be had wholly upon afildavits sub mitted by both sides.
 This is the case involving the right of the racing commission to revoke Ghe license Of the latter track. The result will influence largely the man ner of betting at the Latonia track. At the last spring meet. the Pari- Mutuel system was tried, but was not profitable and when the track management returned to the book making system. the commission at once revoked the license. Mir. Mey- CTS. for the track, went into court with a petition in which he contro- verted the right of the commission to interfere, one of his claims being that the act of the general assembly un- der which the commission was ere ated, Is unconstitutional
 A demurrer to the petition Is also pending before Judge HaTbeson. and 1f this Is determined adversely to the plaintiff. the matter will go to the court of appeals immediately. In any event the upper court will be ap. peaied to.

 COEniaAkey Wants Howell.
 Pitcher Frank SmIth has looked aw- fully good to McAleer for 8 long time, but whether he would givesup as good 6 man as Howell for Smith, McAIeer wouldn't say. None of the other St. Louis twirlers swonld be acceptable at this end of the line If Smith were to be turned loose. Comiskey figures he has enough troubles with out trying to handle WAddel and none of the others Is considered by Comiskey as Smiths equal.
 Comtskey's. request for an outfielder makes 1t look as though he has about given up hope of ever seeing Fielder Jones In a Chicago uniform again. The South Side club has plenty ofioutfieid- ers, counting Jones. Without the star of them all. 1t would be no wonder if Comrny began . frantic search for JoneSs successor In the outfleld.
