BUSINESS or AUTO ACCIDENTS
Collision with Duke Of A0stas Car Reveals
New way Of Making Money.


NAPLES, Aug. liking Victor Emmanuel's 9
cousin. the Duke OF Aosts, was motoring
the other day with his mother on the Via
Roma when his automobile collided with
a young man named Russo. The Duke
stopped Immediately and took the man to
a hospital, where it was found that he had
only slight flesh wound.
The interest taken in the noble auto
mobilist's victim proved to be unfortunate
for him. because il was discovered that
Russofor considerable time has been living
on compensations paid him by wealthy
motorists. Much practice and remarkable
agility enabled him to sustain a motor
accident sufficiently serious to make sure
of a handsome indemnity from motorists,
who always preferred to settle privately
rather than face lawsuit.
