Marvin Delore, one of the party of young nien and boys which broke Into the Glen cue mills snd stole some sacks which they afterward sold, plesded guilty to burglary Wednesday morning before Judge Troup, and was sentenced to two snd a half years In the penitentiary. Only two weeks before the robbery of the mill, Ik-lore had been acquitted of a burglary' charge by the same Jury panel that is now serving. Rather than go be fore the same men the second time on s similar charge, he pleaded guilty. It waa Delore who sold the sacks to a Junk dealer who afterwards tried to sell them back to the mill from which they were stolen. This led to the arrest of the entire gang. County Attorney English has nollled the case against C. K. Stephenson, who waa charged with embezzling money from the Jewell Tea company for which he worked. He was manager of the local branch of the company and It was charged he di verted some of ths funds to Ills owa usa. Lack ef evidence was given as the reason for dismissing the charge.

C0MHEBCIAL CLASSES TO FORE Immlgratlea Qnestlaa Is Scarcely Mcatlenea- la tea CeatroTersr " Appeal Caaatry Likely. TOKIO, Jan. 15. Any accurate prediction concerning the political life of Marquis SaonJI cabinet Is Impossible. The govern ment Is trying to avert a climax and ths resignations of the ministers of flnsnce and communications hss created a situa tion approaching a political panic. Even those best Informed sre unable to forecast tomorrow's developments with any degree of certelnty. The consensus of opinion Is to the effect that the present cabinet, either with double portfolios or with possible sdditions, will face the new Diet, which, after the general elections of the spring, will open July C The posts of minister of tinance and min ister of communications were made vacant yesterday. They were at once filled tear porarily by the minister of Justice, taking up also the duties of the former snd the minister of ths Interior taking up also the duties of the latter. An effort Is being made to fill these va cancies, but There Is a difficulty encoun tered In securing the consent of statesmen to accept the responsibility under existing circumstances. The opposition and even the friends of the government are sppar ently determined to force the government to appeal to the country. Ks Refereace to Inatlgratloa, There Is no reason to doubt that ths present situation Is dua, entirely to. the financial problem. The Immigration ques tion Is absolutely unaffected and had noth ing to do with hastening the climax. It la believed on sll sides thst ths Immigration questions which exist with America and Canada will be settled amicably. In fact. since ths present critical situation devel oped the Immigration question has been hardly mentioned. , An interesting feature of the situstlon Is the increasing Influence of the commercial classes In the politics of Japan.
