"" Yours ENTER PLEAS OF GUILTY Three Given Suspended Sen- tence--Theft and Breaking and Entering Suspended sentence was granted to three youths who appeared before Magistrate A. F. Hind in Police Court this morning and pleaded guilty to charges which had been preferred against them. The three were FEd- ward Harrison, charged with theft, and Frederick Roughley and Peter Fof- losky, charged with breaking and en- tering. All three had appeared before and had had their cases aj urned until to- day. Harrison, on the {./st appearance, had pleaded not guilty to the charge, but was given permission today to change his plea to one of guilty. The charge was stealing a sum of $13 from Steward Pipe. On account of his youth, since he is only 16, suspended sentence was gran- ted by the court on his making resti- tution and paying the costs of the prosecution. Roughley and Koflosky were charg- ed with breaking into and entering the house of John Harrison on November 9th with intent to commit theft. The accused apparently did not steal any- thing, and it was stated by hteir at- torney that at the time they were un- der the influence of liquor, otherwise the offense would not have been com- mitted. The crown attorney, while re- commending suspended sentence, war- ned them that he would press for the full penalty of the law, 7 years impri- sonment, if they appeared in court again and sentence was passed on them for this offence. Offences of this kind were, as far as he was concern- ed, not to bé tolerated. However, on account of their youth, he recommend- ed suspended sentence in: these cases also, to give them another chance of making good. The magistrate arned the youths to leave liquor alone al- together, and placed them on parole, reporting to the chief of police once ecvry month, hTe prosecution of these cases was conducted by Crown Attorney J. A McGibbon, while J. P, Mangan repre- sented the ateused.

WGHFCHEON MAY BE APPOINTEE Still Believes He Will Be in ' Charge of the Liquor Store Here Oshawa's liquor store eamp is do- ing its best to present a smiling tront to the world, but there is evi- dence of a bitter struggle going on with regard to the lucrative appoint- ments that will be handed out when the store is actually ready for oper- ation. Tnere are, in fact, two camps, One of them is filled with men who say J. W MeCutcheon, issuer of permits in Oshawa since the Liquor Control Act went into effect, should be the manager. Despite denial by the Liq- uor Control Board itself, the other camp declares thag W. A, Hare is the logical appointee. Mr. McCutcheon, they say, will be retained as accoun- tant for the store, but nog as its sxecutive, Mr. McCutcheon's friends, how- ever, suggest that their opponents have been carried away by enthus- dsm or something. They assert that it has been prac- tically understood from the time psermit No. 1 was issued in Oshawa hat Mr. McCutcheon would, in due course and nothing untoward oceur- ring, be given the position. Mr. McCutcheon understood that himself. He still believes that,he will receive the appointment which 1e was promised, "The other camp. ignores Mr. Me- Chteheon's ambitions or plea for justice, whichever way the opposing camps may regard it. They say that W. A. Hare is the appointee and the Liquor Control Board is again put in an awkward position, It declares that no appointment has been made and that it hasn't even been seriously considered, IFIGHTEEN MINERS 'TRAPPED IN MINE Three Thousand Feet Under Ground--Two More Natives Rescued (Cable Service to The Times By Canadian Press) Johannasburg, South Africa, Nov. 18--Rescue parties, working furi- ously to dig out eighteen native min- ers and one European entombed three thousand feet underground in the Crown Mines. by a fall of rock today succeeded in rescuing two of the natives.

COUNCIL TO MEET ONNOVEMBER 28 + Following its sccret meeting at a "committee" last night with all alder- men present except Ald. Swanson, the City Council was so pleased with its achievements that the regular session scheduled to have been held Monday night was put forward by one week to November 28. By that time, it is believed, the al- dermen will have made up their minds about the civic elections. Several new faces will appear on the Council in 1928 as several of the present year's mem- bers declare that they are through. hTe mayoralty, however, will hold the center of interest this year. It is considered certain that Mayor Preston will seek re-election though there is a move on foot to give him an acclamation, Those in close touch with the mayor say that he feels that he has earned the honor through his service record as the city's chief magistrate. former | {KING STREET'SECTION EAST OF RITSON ROAD IS UNDER RESTRICTION A DISTINCT LOSS MRS, H.
