Williams elected vice-president of wallpaper jobbers association
In New York the firm Williams McAnulty man L J Williams was chosen vice president of the Wall Paper Jobbers association at a conference. A Philadelphia woman killed herself rather than reveal her age after marital strife. A Scranton woman fled a court hearing when asked about her age. A Mulberry street car passenger described habitual hops off the car and contemplated a fatal accident, ending with a grim scene at a red lantern on a pile of junk.
