EWING FOR NOT
SENDING LIST
President Explains the Alleged
Lack of Support of Coast
Leaguers
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

i CHICAGO. March 22.-Reports from
the Pacific coast. in which Cal Ewing is
made to complain that the Pacific
leaguers are not getting the promised
support of the forces of organized
baseball in their fight against the CAL
ifornia outlaw league prompted Presi-
dent Ban Johnson of the American
league to unbelt little information
today regarding what the majors were
trying TO do to help the loyals on the
coast.
The major leagues have already
taken away from the California out
laws the major league players in that
league, he said. We induced the
Sacramento club to break away from
the outlaws and join the Pacific,
thereby practically wrecking the out
law circuit, and Mr.. Graham of Sacra-
mento is about the only club owner out
there with whom we have been able
to keep in touch
Mr. Ewing has handicapped the
work by falling to send us the prom
ised list of players in the outlaw clubs
He promised me when he was here that
he would attend to it at once. He has
promised twice since then to send the
list, but we have received none. Con-
sequently we have been unable to take
up the cases of any except the major
league players out there

LATONIA JOCKEY
CLUB GAINS
VICTORY
Decision Declares UnCOnSfifn-
fionaI Law Creating Kentucky
Racing Commission
Especial Dispatch to The Call

LEXINGTON, Ky, March 22--The La
tonia jockey club won notable victory
today when Judge Harbeson handed
down a decision in the Kenton circuit
court declaring as unconstitutional the
law creating the state racing commits
sion.
The decision was due to the fact that
the law creating the commission gave
that body power to regulate only the
running tracks of the state, when, in
fact. trotting races come under the
same legal category. according to Judge
Harbeson. and that therefore the law
was class legislation. Judge Harbeson
held that the law TO be valid must give
the racing commission the same author
1ty over trotting and running races.
Judge Harbeson held, however, that
the contention of the LatOnla jockey
club that the track could not be run
profitably without the operation of book
makers made no difference in the law of
the case. as that feature of the conten-
ton was purely a gambling privilege
and not Il property right, and could
never be within the protection of the
constitution so as to make 1T of legiSla-
tive control
Der of the commission now in leXing-
ton, said tonight that the case would
be carried to the court of appeals and
efforts made to get a decision before
time for spring racing to begin in Ken
lucky.
Horsemen generally are pleased with
the decision, as it means. If sustained

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Action upon the resignation Of Rev.
johannes f. Christiansen was taken at
a meeting Of the congregation of st.
stephen IS Danish Lutheran church, last
night, the resignation being refused and
the pastor urged to stay
1t was one of the largest meetings
ever held by the congregation and was
held expressly to act upon the resigna-
tion rendered by Rev Mr. Christensen
recently. A vote was taken, resulting
in Afty-nine ballots being cast against
the acceptance of the paper, and six
teen for its adoption.
An urgent appeal was made to Mr..
Christiansen asking him to ROMAN and
he seemed willing, as long as SO large
majority evidently wished him to.
At any rate he acceded to reconsider
ing his action and indications are that
he will remain.
He took similar action some years
ago and it resulted in reconsideration
OF his move and he decided to remain.
When seen this morning, Mr.. Christian
sen. said he would reconsider but would
not say whether or not he would re-
main, as that would depend materially
upon the result of his personal affairs
in Europe.
Mr.. Christiansen said today it was the
second time in his ten years OF service
as the pastor of st. Stephen 3 church
that he had rendered his resignation.

Preparations are being made at the
.. Pardee steel works for the reopen
ing of the rolling mill which has been
idle for many months. The open hearth
and blooming mill departments which
were also shut down during the recent
financial depression, were again opened
short time ago and it was reported
at the time that the rolling mill would
soon open.
It was learned today that the rolling
mill would probably start about Decem-

pleted by that time. The steel plant
has plenty Of work on hand, as one or.
der alone which was secured recently is
enopgh to keep the mills busy for over

employees are overjoyed at the news
and believe that with the plant IN full
operation the former wage scale will
be rei1stated. At the time OF the A.
nancial panic most of the employees had
their wages cut ten per cent. and are
being paid accordingly at the present
