Junk Dealer On Trial For Tin Theft In Pennsylvania Case
Junk dealer Mark Levine faced trial before Judge Emery on two charges of larceny connected to the disappearance of pig tin from a Pennsylvania railroad car. A joint charge with Julius Fisher and James McArthur claimed stealing tin valued at 360 dollars, while a second information alleged 1980 dollars worth. Fisher and McArthur pleaded, and all cases were to be tried together. The alleged theft occurred in March 1918 when 39 pigs of tin were shipped to the American Sheet and Tin Plate company, placed in barrels and sent from the city. A federal suit also awaits Levine in Pittsburgh. Levine is represented by Thomas W. Dickey. Commonwealth counsel are A. Martin Graham and District Attorney George W. Muse.

Red Cross extends Christmas Roll Call to New Year Eve
The Lawrence County Chapter American Red Cross extends the Membership Roll Call campaign one week to New Years Eve. O J H Hartsuff cites influenza bans and poor country roads as reasons for delays hindering the goal of 70 000 memberships. The extension eases District Captains and Workers burdens as New Castle faced epidemic restrictions and road conditions hampered drive efforts. Every person urged to join as “Every One A Member” rather than a money drive and solicitors faced mixed public reaction.
