JAIL MAY BE HOTEL
FOR.TURF FOLLOWERS

Louisville, Ky. April 22.-Unless
unforeseen legal complications arise,
the Jefferson County Jail will be
turned into a temporary hotel for
the accommodation of the Derby
visitors, and Jailer John w. Barr
may keep it open for this purpose
through the spring racing season.
At the. present time the Jail has
fewer persons in it than ever be-
fore in its history and Keeper Barr
says he. can convert a couple of
floors into sleeping quarters for
several hundred persons with little
trouble. He plans to charge guests
only u day, which he says will
just about cover the expense of
keeping them. Mr.. Barr is con-
ferring with his attorneys in an ef-
fort to determine If there is any
legal hindrance to this proposition.
