KENTUCKY JOCKEY
 CLUB THREATENED
State Politics Seen in Dissolu-
 tiOn Suit

housewife, Ky, Nov. o5 Pt-At- torney General Frank E. Daugherty today instituted suit in the Jeffer- son circuit court in behalf of the state Of Kentucky for dissolution of the Kentucky Jockey club and for forfeituIe of it's franchise, al leging that a further continuance of the club as a corporation is de- trimental to the interests and well fare Of the commonwealth.
 The petition came close upon the heels of a bitter gubernatorial cam raign in which c. w. Beckham, democrat, had asserted that if elected he would work toward re- peal of the state law permitting the club to operate the pari-mutuel betting system. He was defeated by who claimed that the matter was not an issue in the campaign. Samp- son got a majority of approximate ly 10000. One of Beckham's sup porters, Circuit Judge Thurman, in public speeches, accused the Jockey club of spending thousands of dol lars to defeat Beckham, but this was vigorously denied by club off cials.
 The petition stated that the jockey club is a corporation with a capital stock of s3.0O0,000 engaged in operation of race tracks at Louisville, Lexington and Latonia and that in March, 1926, it acquired and began to operate track in Chicago. In connection with the race tracks, 1t was alleged the jockey club set up and operated gambling devices, commonly re- ferred 10 as pari- -mutuels, in vio- lation of the Kentucky constitution and the federal laws.
 It added that in connection with the betting the club has created and maintained monopoly on race track gambling and in order to de- feat the repeal of any bills present. ed to the legislature has engaged lobbyists to attend every session, furnished large sums to debauch and control members of the lcgis- lature.
 It was further stated In the suit that the club has employed persons for the purpose of controlling the election of governors and members of the legislature.
