MANY LAWSUITS GROW
FROM AUTO SMASHUP
Dismissal of Nicholo Santoro is
End of Legal Fight by the
Parties Involved.

MAGISTRATE Barnet Gluckman has dis.
missed the case Of the State against
Nicholo Santoro, charged with operating
a motor vehicle without a license The
case is the latest of series of litigations
growing out of auto trip taken last Fall
BY Sanford and Angelo di Guiglielmo. The
automobile was supposed to be owned by
the former but driven by the latter.
The two men, together with some friends
took trip TO New Castle. In the course
Of the journey the machine IN which they
were riding broke down and was badly
damaged. Sanford had the car repaired
and brought legal action against di Gui-
glielmo for portion Of the damages al
1eging that the latter had failed to oper-
ate the car property. Sanford lost the
case.
He then had charge placed against
di Guiglielmo for operating an automo-
bile without license. di Guiglielmo was
adjudged guilty and fined.
di Guiglielmo then had Sanford ar
rested on a. similar charge as an accessory
TO the alleged crime The question was
raised as TO whether Sanford WAS an
accessory and equally culpable with di
Guiglelmo IN operating the car without
a license on the ground that Santoro had
no license and yet sat beside di Guiglielmo
and controlled" the operator.
Magistrate Gluckman after examining
the briefs submitted by Leonard f.
Wales for the State and James /. Boyce,
Jr, for the defendant, decided that
Santoro was not an accessory in the sense
considered on the charge. He said also
that the case could not properly be
brought before a magistrate as only an
operator could be tried by magistrate for
operating without license

THIEVES GET $500
BUT MISS $4,000 At
HARDESTY HOME
Valuablcs Were in Liberty Bonds
Hidden So as to Foil
Burglars.
FAMILY AT SUMMER HOME
AT OCEAN CITY, N. ].

/ Thieves who ransacked the home

Holly Oak, during his absence in Ocean

sccretcd in other parts of the house.
Discovery of the robbery was made
yesterday morning by Mrs. Allan Heisler,

when she found drawers ransacked and
everything turned topsy- -turvy about the
home. State Detective Mccoy was
notified of the robbery and together with
Sergeant Benson, of the detective bureau
visited the scene of the robbery today.
At first il was thought the large amount
of scurities had been taken but subsequent
search today located the bonds. Liberty
bonds valued ut 5000 were taken and
two $50 Liberty bonds were dropped on
the floor by the thieves in their haste.
Entrance was made through win
dow on the back porch. IL is the belief
of the authorities that money was the
object of the robbery as little else was
reported as missing. A valuable gold watch
in a bureau drawer was left untouched
A black hand bag and nickel 80
calibre revolver arc missing.
Mr.. Hardesty is at 1905 Ashury avenue,
Ocean City, where he with his family have

The daughter, Mrs. Heisler, Tele-
graphed her father of the robbery, but
had received no reply this morning.

have TO pay in spite of the widespread
statements of the railroads that the in
crease would make no material difference
TO the consumer.

adding the extra freight charge the price
for the different grades Of coal would be as
follows: Stove, coal, $3.50; nut, sl4Q0;

In. and Death a Unity.

Life is state which follows upon
death. Death Is o state which pre-
cedes life Which Of us understands
the laws that govern their succession3
The life of man is the resultant OF
forces. The aggregation Of these forces
is life; their dispersion death. II,
then, life and death are but consecu-
tive states Of existence, what cause
for sorrow have I?
And so it is that all things are but
phases of unity. What nsep delight
in is the spiritual essence Of life. What
they loathe Is the material corruption
Of death. But this state OF corrup-
ton gives place to that state Of spir-
ituality and that state of spirituality
gives place in turn to this state OF
corruption. Therefore we may say
that all in the universe is comprised
in unity; and therefore the inspired
among us have adopted unity as their
criterion.-H. A. Giles, in Translated
Gems From Chinese Literature"
