RACING IN new YORK.
Members of Jockey Club Will Fight
Their Cause in Courts.

New York, Sept. 12.-That the Jockey
club has decided upon an aggressive
policy in an effort to save horse racing
in this state from the effects of the
drastic anti-betting laws passed by the
last legislature, was the declaration in
racing circles here today, based on the
authority of recent interviews with
prominent members of the Jockey club.
The authorities, according to these an
nouncements, will fight their cause in
the courts and will take advantage of
every possible vantage point to save the
Is million dollars which they have in
vested in racing machinery in New
York state.
In an interview with a member OF
the Jockey club published today, sums
up the situation as follows:
THE Jockey club stewards intend to
fight in the future. Their amiability
in the past has been accepted on the
part of their opponents as a sign OF
weakness, and as a result racing has
been oppressive. The stewards have
discovered that their tame submission
has been an error. In the past, rather
than take full advantage of the courts
decisions pertaining to betting, fearful
that the enemies of the sport might say
that they were violating the law
something the race tracks have never
done-the stewards have merely taken
the shadow of the substance allowed
them by the courts.
1T was with a mistaken idea that
they were accomplishing some good
that the race tracks fought the pool
rooms for many years.
1T would have been much better if
the stewards had not made their move
1t is beyond their province and juris-
diction to act as guardians of the NOR
ais of persons outside the race tracks,
The turf would have been better off
if they had stuck to their own baili-
wick.
1T has been the policy of the Jockey
club heretofore, to let matters take
their course as they did not think ii
wise to fight the opposing forces. But
now they intend to ask the courts fol-
relief. Suits will be brought at once
with this object in view''

COLONEL ISAAC ELwooD DEAD
Was a Pioneer Barbed Wire Manufac-

Chicago. Sept. 12.-The death last
night at his home in DeKalb of Colonel
Isaac L. Elwood, pioneer barbed wire
manufacturer, has revived many stories
of his early life in Illinois.
At time when the middle west was
famous for its auctioneers, Isaac Ell
wood was the most successful of them
all. 1t was said of him that in his
prime he could seel anything that the
buyer could carry away.
His first business venture was the
hard ware store which he opened in De-
Kalb. After the store got so that it
could run itself, with the assistance Of
a couple of clerks, the young hardware
man entered the then paying profess
