Opinion.

I need not say that the authorities cited by counsel have been carefully considered. Two questions are presented in this case.
 1. I am of the opinion that the interest of Josephine Ware in the policy was contingent upon her surviving w. w. Ware, the assured, and upon her death no further inter- est in the policy remained to her or her representatives. Dying before her husband, her interest terminated.
 The second wife, Mary Ware, is not entitled to share in the policy. The only place in the policy that author izes the assignment, or change of beneficiaries, is on page two, section eleven, which reads as follows
 s'No assignment of this policy or change of beneficiaries shall be valid without the consent of the assoc a. tion, and upon such terms as shall De approved by it's secretary or assist ant secretary"
 am of the opinion that no assign ment of this policy or change of bene- ficiaries could be had, except by the authority of the beneficiaries, with the consent of the company. see Black vs. Valley Mutual Insurance as sociation, 52d Ark, page POI, and subsequent cases in that line.
 2. The next question is whether the children of the first and second marriages share equally, or IS the benefit to be confined to the children of the first marriage?
