Levine secured a judgment of $119.95 before Alderman Jacob Smith against the Black more company as the result of a collision in which the plaintiff's truck was damaged on Jan. 13, 1932, at Wyoming avenue and Poplar street. In view of the fact that the alderman had no jurisdiction in trespass cases in which more than $100 is involved, the court ordered the nonsuit. Attorney Irving L.

Friday and Saturday; 520 Cedar Ave. Adv flames amidst dense smoke, but it The building is in the center Colonel Kelly discovered the fire as he went to the basement to attend to the furnace. He sent a telephone alarm to the Columbia Hose company and later a box alarm was sounded, bringing out additional men. The fire, it is believed, originated in the rear of the basement under the showrooms and office of the Carbondale Gas company.

Although flames were not discernible to the hundreds who gathered to witness the fire, the smoke eaters found a hard battle on their hands. Smoke poured from the gas company rooms and from the Paramount Dry Cleaning company. The smoke also found its way into three apartments above the store rooms. Three Families Forced to Street Families of Charles Guinan, Harry Hoyle and John Owens, who occupied the apartments, were forced to the street. The shoe repair shop of Jo seph Grippo also is located in the building.

A heavy wall separated the building from the drug store of Colonel Kelly on the corner of seventh avenue and Main street and firemen exerted every effort to prevent the spread of the flames into tnis section or tne structure. About fourteen months ago the drug store, a restaurant, barber shop and offices on the Main street side of the building were wiped out by fire. Heavy loss was incurred at that time. The dense smoke and velocity of the wind greatly hampered the firemen in their work. Police under Sergeant Thomas Baylon were kept busy with the hundreds of spectators who pressed close to the fire lines.

All ve hicular traffic on Main street from Eighth to Sixth avenues was rerouted during the fire. Quiz Three Men As to Connection With Crimes Here Authorities Said to Doubt Suspects Were Implicated in Old Forge Payroll Robbery State troopers and county detectives who have been investigating the holdup at Old Forge two weeks ago, when a $5, 100 Dayroll of the Duchess Underwear company was stolen were reported last night to doubt that any of the three men held since yesterday morning by the city police were implicated in tne robbery. City detectives, however, are undei stood to be checking up on the activity of the prisoners in resent weeks, on tne theory that they may have been connected with burglaries or robberies here. The men in custody are described Edward Cartusciello, 23, 531 Nortn Washington avenue; John F. Landy, 27, 216 North Bromley avenue, and Joseph Iwasko, 21, 919 Scranton street.

A fourth man. described as C. C. Cole, 56. 215 North Filmore avenue, arresteo with the other three in West Scranton at 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning, was discharged in police court.

He faced a charge of drunkeness. Magistrate John P. Kelly in police court gave Landy and Iwasko their choice of paying a fine of $25 each or going to jail for thirty days on a disorderly conduct charge, while Cartusciello drew the same sentence on a similar count, and was fined $50 for carrying a gun without a permit. After the police court hearing, the three men were held for further investigation, a technical charge of suspicion being lodged against them.

Thomas, Carbon county, specially presiding here, to serve from ten to twenty years in the Eastern penitentiary. Vitale was found guilty of the murder of Domlnick Rao in a North Scranton speakeasy early last year.

Rao was fatally wounded by a bullet from a revolver during the course of a free all all fight and died several hours later at a local hospital. Another man, Patsy Gallo, was also wounded in the scuffle, but recovered. Attorneys Joseph F. Tedesco and Thomas P. Duffy, who represented Vitale at the trial, asked the court to extend mercy in sentencing the defendant, pointing out that the crime was committed under mitigating circumstances.

District Attorney John J. Owens represented the state, with an assistant, Edward W. Warren. Says Verdict Unusual One Judge Thomas, before passing sentence, commented that the verdict was the most unusual ever returned in such a case. He referred to the fact that the jury asked the court in imposing sentence to give the prisoner the maximum penalty under the law.

Several weeks ago District Attorney Owens petitioned Judge Thomas to impose a sentence, of life imprisonment in view of the fact that it was the second occasion for Vitale to be convicted of murder in the second degree. The slayer was found guilty on the same charge in Luzerne county in 1909 and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. He was pardoned after serving five years. Judge Thomas rejected the district attorney's request on the ground that the state failed to Include in the indictment a record of the fact that it was Vitale' second offense. Commissary Plan Ignored by Board Relief Group Tends to Routine Matters The commissary plan of distributing food and necessities to the needy was given no consideration by the members of Lackawanna county's emergency unemployment relief board in session at the county commissioners' office yesterday.

Only routine matters were discussed by the board members, it was announced following the session. The state relief board several oays ago announced the adoption of the commissary plan under which the state would buy the food and clothing and distribute them direct. Locally the plan met with dis approval for hundreds of merchants, the press, the Chamber of Commerce and other agencies and Ralph E. Weeks, chairman of the county board announced that the system did not meet with his approval. The fact that the plan was not even discussed at yesterday's meeting is taken as an indication that it will not be put into effect here.

The anthracite wage dispute rests in the hands of the two man board of arbitration. After fife hours of final argument, operators and miners left to George RuMee and Frank Morrison, tne aroi ters, to decide whether the miners should be eiven a pay cut.

Both com mittees, lowever, left the hotel room where the conferences this week have been held, assuring Rubles and Morrison they would be glad to furnish the board any additional lnrorma tion deiired. Rublte, Morrison, the miners and operators were as secretive tonight as thy have been all week about what arguments were put forth at the executive sessions. RuMee's customary one word state ment "progress," was the only in formation given out. Miners' Final Argument If was learned, however, that the finfl argument of the miners was tht they believed business conditions wre at lo.w ebb, and that what they fait would be a certain improvement would work hardship with tne miners if thir wage scale were reduced. 7 The operators I were said to have drgued that a pay cut was necessary for the industry to hold its own in 'the face of production drops.

Rublee and Morrison said they were unable to predict when they would be ready to announce their decision. Davis Reiterates No Slash Position Declares Miners Wages Will Not Be Cut David W. Davis, international organizer for the United Mine Workers, reiterated the position he took last August vesterday and declared in effect that there was no possibility that the wage scales in the existing working agreement would be disturbed. In advance of the New York conference which opened Sept. 5 last.

Organizer Davis stated there would be no lowering of wage levels as the reopening terms did not provide for arbitration. Yesterday he repeated this stand in stating that the commission of two would not elect a third man. "The action of the board will definitely de termine the fact that the reopening clause does not provide for arbitration and that the operators will only be wasting their time and the time of the anthracite scale committee in any annual reopening of the agreement," Davis said.

The Sooth Side Bank and Trust Company, At a Meeting of the Board of Directors, Adopted the Following Me. morial Upon the Death of STEPHEN S. SPRUKS Who Was Director and Vice President of the Bank Stephen S. Spruks died December 31, 1932. He was one of the founders of the South Side Bank and Trust Company and served upon its Board of Directors as its Senior Vice President up to the time of his death.

Mr, Spruks was born at Beach Lake, Wayne county, Pennsylvania, and came to Scranton searching business opportunities in 1884. He became associated with his brothers in the lum ber business and continued in that enterprise to the end of his earthly career. No history of Scranton, and particularly South Scranton, would be com plete without a tribute to the firm of Spruks Brothers. They were pioneers; they had unwavering faith in the city; they had community spirit as well as private enterprise. Mr.

stepnen S. Spruks contributed to that policy. Our association with Stephen S. Spruks remains a memory to be cherished forever. From the opening of the bank until about six years ago, he was ulert and active in the advancement of the institution.

No task was too hard for him if its accomplishment meant progress to the bank and he gave his time and effort cheerfully. When his physical breakdown prevented him from doing active work, he continued to give the board the benefit of his knowledge, sagacity and vision. His counsel was always both kindly and sound. His consideration for the opinions of others was never impatient and never intolerant. He was always helpful and constructive.

His ife abounds in acts intended to help friends over threatened crises and even though his efforts meant, often times, a personal loss to him, It never chilled his human sympatny. Scranton, by his death, has suffered the loss of a splendid citizen. By his death, the bank has lost a valuable director and officer. We, his fellow members of the board, will be deprived of counsel ripened by an experience, catalogued in a retentive memory, and guided by fine judgment. We mourn a loyal, warm hearted friend and delightful associate.

It is directed that this tribute be in scribed upon the minutes of the bank and a copy printed in the daily press. GEORGE SCHEUER. RICHARD J. GRIMES. THOMAS A.
