on a certain train. nor to be sure and
feed the eat. No. not any more.
AT the Western MO telegraph office
in Broad street. nearly every day a
husband comes in. writes a message
and asks that it be sent c. O. ID.
"You will have to leave a deposit" is
invariably the reply.
"Oh, well, never mind, 1 won't tele-
graph" usually says the husband as
he leaves the Office.
The telegraph ompany found it neces-
sary to adopt the new rule because
many persons sen C. o. D.. messages,
which he persons receiving them
usually refused to accept for lack Of
change to pay the toll charges.
You see explained one of the tele-
graphers, when a mans wife goes to
the country she usually spends every
cent she has and cannot raise twenty
five cents with which to pay for a
message. The rule works both ways.
The husband left in town sends so much
of his ready one up to mountain or
seashore that he cannot raise the price
of his wife's telegram, sent him col
lect, asking him for more money. On
the whole | think the husbands owe
the company a vote of thanks. Look
at the money they save by the OBJ
stacle the company has raised against
a whole lot of foolish telegraphing."

AS a result of this ruling some New
ark husbands, whose wives have most
of their cash, are nightly disturbed.
Say they wan to telegraph their better
halves to come home. Well, the COM
pany refuse to accept the message
unless the deposit is left before sending.
Since the new ruling went into effect,
the phrase Tend me a quarter to tele-
graph my wife, has become popular.
On the other hand, the wife In he

LAT0NIA JOCKEY CLUB WINS
KENTUCKY RACING COMMISSION
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Harbeson of the Circuit
Court Holds the Statute to Be
Glass Legislation.

CONVICTION. KY. Magch "2.-Judge
Harbeson in kenton county circuit court
today rendered his decision in the noted
case of the I.atonia Jockey Club agains,
the Kentucky racing commission, holding
the law establishing the commission as
unconstitutional. The effect of the de
cison is to place Latonia racing on it:
former basis.
Judge Harbason held that the law Gre
ating the Kentucky racing commission
gave that body power to regulate run
ming races: that trotting races and run
ming races came under the same lega
category. and that. therefore. the law
was class legislation, and was
unconstitutional The court. in other
words. held that the law to ne valid must
give the racing commission specific
rlly over both troIting and running
races.
az decision is complete victory for
the Latonia Jockey Club. The racing
commission had insisted that Latonia use
Paris nutuel betting machines. Latonia
put in these machines. but claimed that
they were run at a financial loss, and
then allowed bookmakers to operate. The
jockey club secured a court injunction
preventing the racing commission from
interfering with the races while book
makers were operating last season.
The commission will take the case to
the court of appeals.
