BETTING IS NOT A CRIME
Judge Gaynor of the New York Su-
preme Court Hands Down an
Important Opinion.

New York. Aug. 6.-The making of an
ordinary bet as distinguished from the
practice of betting all Corners was de-
clared by Judge Gayner of the supreme
court today TO be not a crime The case
was that against George Sterling, who
was accused of violating the new anti
gambling laws by betting a basket of golf
balls on the result of golf game in Mas
sau county. Long Island.
Justice Gayner dismissed the case
against Sterling and ruled as follows:
THE difference between ordinary bet
ting and gambling is too plain to require
words. An ordinary bet is not a crime
whether made in your parlor or on the
golf links or race track, nor is the MAX
ing of a note or memorandum thereof:
but If you hold yourself out to bet and
bet all corners or generally, or become a
general recorder of such bets or of bets
between others, you are guilty of a
crime

ANT|-BOSS men
PLAN TAFT CLUB
Independent Republicans Seek
Leader in Fight to Gust
SmOOt Machine.

The organization of Taft club by the
Independent Republicans of Salt Lake
county, the purpose of which shall be the
overthrowing of the machine in state and
county politics, is planned by a number
of Republicans. The insurgent Republi-
cans are receiving additions daily to their
ranks from Republicans, who, although
believers i'll organization in politics are
opposed to the organization becoming a
part of dictatorial machine
Never before in the history of its or
Sanization has the Smoot machine been
in such perilous position The mine
set by the insurgents and independent Re
publicans may be exploded at any mo-
ment. The appearance of a Moses from
the wilderness to lead the forces of the
machine opposition would probably result
in an overthrow of the Smoot crowd
In Cache and in Weber counties the
spirit of unrest has caused the organiza-
ton of the anti-Smoot factions, and in
both of those counties the machine seems
hopelessly beaten. That il might best
protect its interests the machine turned
Cutler down, then it turned Loose down.
and now it is rumored that it is on the
verge of even turning down Howell.
In Salt Lake county the independent
Republicans are agreed that under the
present regime the Republican party has
absolutely no hope for success in the
county The continuation of the dictator
ship of the federal bunch would put the
Republicans out of the running and leave
the fight to the Democrats and the
Americans" An effort will be made by
the independent Republicans of the county
to overthrow the influence of the ma
chine and demand a change in tactics
on the ground that such a course is the
only hope left for the Republicans.
A close fight between the Independent
and the stalwart Republicans at the next
primaries is promised. The insurgent Re
publicans are already claiming ability TO
control Salt Lake Cache Weber and Utah
counties. If they can control the delega-
tions from these counties the machine can
be beaten and the independents control
the state convention. This would mean
that Spry would probably be the nominee
the independents are willing to concede
his nomination, but it would mean that
Howell would be defeated for congress
and the machine slate for the other state
officers would be badly shattered.

Trial by Jury.
AS to the jury system, Mr.. Taft said
I'VE cannot, of course, dispense with
the jury system. 1t is that which
makes the people part of the admin
istration of justice. but every means
by which in civil cases litigants may ~
induced voluntarily to avoid the eX-

way the general administration of JUS
tice can be greatly facilitated and the
expense incident to delay in litigation
can be greatly reduced"
Mr.. Taft closed with a tribute to the
legal profession and cautioned that
conservatism ought not to be allowed
to prevent reforms which are in the in
terest of equalizing the administration
of justice as far as possible between
the poor and the rich.

Provo, Aug. 6.-The fraternal societies
of Provo had a celebration at Castillo,
a pretty little resort near here, today.

a meritorious one. The Ogden team won
by a score Of to 3. The batteries were:
Ogden-Farrisdall and Reams; Provo. Ell
lott and Erickson. The Odd Fellows de-
feated the Knights of Pythias by score
of 20 to ,.

with interest from beginning to end.
In addition, there were foot races for
young and old. and a program of sports
that ran the length of the list. The day
was a highly successful one.

ke-blackened sufficiently to warrant
a fire sale succeeding the yellow car
