BALTIMORE IN NEED
OF new ZONlNG LAW
Parts of Present Ordinance Held
Unconstitutional by State
Court of Appeals.

BALTIMORE, February THE Court
OF Appeals this week handed down an
opinion that parts of the zoning ordi-
nance are unconstitutional, and as a
consequence Baltimore today is with
out a xoning law
But there is no danger OF a rush OF
stores, garages and other business enter
prises to residential neighborhoods, ac-
cording to city officials.
An old ordinance, passed before the
coming law went into effect. will prevent
that until a legal zoning Law Is passed.
The court split in it's decision, Ave
judges deciding the ordinance IL uncen-
stitutional and two voting in its favor.
The majority opinion was written by
Judge Offutt, with Judges Adkins,
Digges, Parks and Walsch concurring
Judges Bond and Urner dissented.
The opinion does not deal with sec
tions or the zoning law which regulate
height and area of buildings. But II
says the regulation OF the uses to which
buildings may be put is not by the
terms OF the measure, based on public
welfare, utility. health or morals, and
conflicts with the Constitution Of the
United States in THAT IL deprives an
owner OF the legal use OF his property.

Walsh Suspects
Story Premature
By DAVIS J. WALSH.
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Knute X,
Rockne, perhaps the greatest coach OF
football the game knows, would
neither deny nor affirm the report
that the was leaving Notre Dame for
Columbia University when cornered
by the writer Saturday night.
The famous coach was found in
conference with James r. Knapp.
chairman of the football committee at
Columbia. and, IL this situation was
not significant enough. Rockne's flus-
tered manner, his refusal to commit
himself and Knapp's evident eager
ness to dicker with the writer left
matters open to only one construe-
ton.
This was that "leak" from within
Columbia's athletic counsels had spill
ed the Rockne story prematurely and
that it had been his intention to soft
en- the blow for Notre Dame before
permitting Columbia to make official
announcement of the change.
As it was, someone is said to have
spoken out of turn, and, in conse-
quence. the thing broke right IN
Rockne's face.
mere 10 tah ooJ
was Rockne's only comment.
But from an unimpeachable source,
high in counsels of Columbia's ath-
letics, the following information was
Forthcoming:
That Rockne signed a three-yeaI
agreement with Columbia a week ago.
an agreement that was said to be just
az binding as legal contract. The
first year called for n salary OF Slo,-
900, the second 81, 800, and the third
$4,000.
After shaking hands and declinig
to be quoted, Rockne seemed about to
add something else. But he never got
chance. He was seized firmly by
the arm by Knapp, who gestured
briefly and significantly toward the
waiting doorway. Rockne took the
hint and disappeared.
Then Knapp said:
"You fellows newspaper men) are
making us all sorts Of trouble"
