DAWSON, Y. T., Aug. 12. - Roy Yeoshioka, Japanese fox farmer, was found guilty in the Yukon territory court yesterday before Judge MacAu- lay and a jury of six men on the charge of killing his wife, Hisa Yeo- shioka, on their ranch at West Daw- son, June "A.

 The condemned man was sentenced last evening by Judge MacAulay to be hanged November 2S.

 Heads of Families
(By Associated Pren Dispateh)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Presi- dent Wilson wrote to Secretary of War Baker today saying that the drafting of married men who are the heads of families, should be avoided and single men taken where possible.
 The Presidents opinion favoring the exemption of married men openly con flicts with the interpretation placed on the law by army officers administer ing the draft directly.
 The officers contend that as Con- gress rejected amendments exempting married men, they have no legal au- thority to exempt them except on the grounds of dependency.

Automobile speeders, bewarel
In the last few weeks forty-two
operators licenses have been revoked
by the District Commissioners for op-
Grating their machines while iutoxi.
Gated or for speeding, Il was an
nounced today. A Jail sentence
awaits any Of these now caught with
their hands at the wheel OF an auto
mobile.
The policy Of the Commissioners Is
TO revoke the license OF any person
convicted of driving an automobile
while under the influence OF liquor or
who forfeits his collateral rVther
than appear in police court, those
convicted for speeding, and operators
with police records for reckless driv-
ing. Forfeiture OF collateral in these
cases as well will be sufficient cause
for revocation OF the license.
In each case where the Commits
Eioners act the police will serve no
fice Of the forfeiture and demand the
return of the license OF the offending
party. 1t will be recommended that
those who drive their cars after they
are deprived OF the right to do 90 be
sent to Jail.
Among the recent rsvccations are
those OF several young men promi-
nent in Washington who have made
known to Commissioner Gardiner
that they would speed all they want
ed, as they carried money enough in
their pockets to pay q fne every day.
Many Of this class Of speeders have
been in the habit OF putting up col
