That the finding of men locked in

like; constituted circumstantial evil
dence strong enough to warrant a con-
viction for gambling, was the opinion
of jury of women that tried John
Thorn, Joe Smith, r. A. Moore, Thomas
O'Connell, Lee Austin, II. G. Rigger
and G. f. Fink before Justice of the
Peace w. J. Smith Tuesday afternoon.
The jury was out two hours and voted.

of conviction.
Members of the jury were Mesdames
C. c. Siggins. c. A. Emes. Ernest
White, j. w. G. Deake, r. p. Logan
and J. M. Wall
The raid was made early Sunday
morning on the reputed residence of
Fink in the Golden Rule addition, by
Policeman w. J. Taylor and Frank
Ham and Deputy Sheriff ]. NJ Beck.
The police said that as they approach
ed the house a man came out and
looked around cautiously and then
went back. They were about a block
away at the time and assume that he
did not see them. They came up
quietly and listened outside, where
they heard expressions which they
judged were used by men engaged in
a poker game. Then they demanded
admission. After some scurrying on
the inside they were admitted. A few
poker chips were found lying on the
floor. A search revealed others in
different places out of the sight of the
casual observer. They said that the
men were all standing when they en-
tered and were gazing into nothing
ness. They were taken into custody
and on arraignment entered a plea of
not guilty. There was no cross ex-
animation of the witnesses by coun-
sci for the defense, and none of the
defendants took the witness stand.
County Attorney F. L. Stephan
dwelled on the fact that no Idaho
statute forbids the playing of cards.
that the finding of the articles that
usually accompany a poker game in
unseemly places indicated that the
men had hidden them, that the pre-
cautions taken indicated that thew
were doing something which they
knew to be illegal and that the cir
cumstances pointed overwhelmingly
to violation of the gambling laws.

FAMOUS RACING
YACHT WILDE
SOLDAT AUCTION

Judge Henry E. Cooper may buy
the famous yacht Hawaii and will, at
least, be one of the high bidders, &C.
cording to reports from those con.
cerned with the ordered sale of the
boat. The yacht is at present lying
in Pearl Harbor in perfect condition,
it is said, but unused.
To sell the yacht Hawaii at auc-
ton, Judge H. B. Kemp Of the first
judicial circuit court granted the petit.
ton of the Transpacific Yacht Racing
committee consisting of Judge Cooper,
W. H. McInerny, and C. T. Wilder
yesterday afternoon and the sale will
take place at the auction rooms OF
James F. Morgan Co. Oh Saturday,
November 10, at noon.
The sale of the yacht Hawaii marks
the end of one Of the world famous
transpacific yacht racers. Now that
the war is on it is practically certain
that the great sport will not be re-
yived for some time yet. Hence the
boat will be sold probably to be used
as fishing boat. 1t is built along
the lines of Gloucester fishing boat,
and can stand the heaviest weather.
The yacht originally had 71S con.
tributors besides those who gave
pieces of PROPERTY to it's equipment.
1t was valued at $4,000 at the time
and in view Of its present condition
should bring high price now.

$2,S74,244. OF this huge amount the
players have received S1,1S0.S23, the
club owners, $1,411,156, and the Ma
tional commission $2S2,242. Tie rules
governing the series specify that each
club shall name in advance of the
play the men who are eligible to par
ticipate in the games. These players
each receive one share Of the winning
or losing teams percentage with GER
tain arrangements for groundkeepers,
mascots and others connected with
the teams in a minor capacity.
Some idea Of the sums that fall to
the share OF players who engage IN
the world series may be gained from
a glance of the records of preceding
struggles. The largest amount went
TO the members of the Boston Amer
leans, who played and won the eight
game series from the New York Ma.
tionals in 1912. That year each regu-
lar member of the Red SoX received
S4024. The next highest amount was
$3.50, also captured by the Boston
Americans Of last season as a result
of their defeat of the Brooklyn Ma
tfonals. The smallest sum received
since 1905 by the individual members
of winning team was SLAP, by the
New York Nationals in the series
against the Philadelphia Americans in
1905. The Chicago Nationals hold the
minimum losers record with $439,
when the Chicago White Sox won the
title in four out of six games in 1906.

The players will not be the only
ones to profit, however, for the club
owners and the National commission
also come in for a percentage OF the
receipts, which are expected to ex'
coed quarter Of a million dollars
this season. Under the rules of the
latter body, which have governed the
worlds series since 1905, tho divis
ion is made in the following man
nar: The National commission re-
ceives 10 per cent Of the receipts OF
each and every game played by the
contending clubs, the remaining 80
per cent of the first four games is di.
yided upon a basis of two-thirds to
the players of the contesting clubs
and one-third to the club owners.
With the, playing of the fourths game
the players cease to share in the re.

divide the receipts equally, after the
National commission has taken its

loser, while the two clubs as cor.

a certain amount of their portions to
