CURIOUS DIVORCE TANGlE
MAN WANTED TO MARRY HIS
FORMER WIFE.
Had to Travel From Haiti to France
After All Kinds Of Difficulties
Block Him.

Special Oablesram to The Star.
PARIS, May IA curious divorce tan
gle has come up before the Paris courts.
A rich West Indian planter was married
in the island Of Haiti. and after a few
years the couple were divorced. It was not
long, however, before q reconciliation be-
tween the ex-husband and ex-wife took
place. and they decided to make it up by
remarrying.
But 1t so happened that the law Of the
country forbade the remarriage Of di-
vorced couples. Tho only resource was
ceremony performed at the French lega-
ton.
A query was sent to the French foreign
ONCE by the diplomatic representative at
Haiti asking II 1t were lawful to do so.
The reply came that it would be perfectly
legal, provided the couple waited until
the tenth month after their divorce had
elapsed. which Is the law in France.
The ex-husband was. 1t Is alleged, i'm
patient on account Of the difficulties in
his way. While waiting he had q num-
Der OF articles published In the local pa
pers attacking the laws Of the country,
which were described as barbarouA.
Tho French minister thought 1t deli
cate matter. under these circumstances,
to celebrate the marriage at the lega-
tion. When the time came he refused
to allow the ceremony to be performed,
on the plea that 1t would be q dis
courtesy to the government to which he
was accredited.
The would-be bridegroom Of his former
wife had thus quite Unexpectedly raised
q sort Of diplomatic incident. He was
told that the only solution was for him
and his bride to hasten to France, where
the wedding could take place without DIFF
fculty.
They did so. But the belligerent hus-
band took up arms once more and de-
sired to bring q suit for damages against
the minister who had refused to perform
the ceremony and had obliged him to go
to all the expense Of travelling to France
to get married.
Administrative rules have further mixed
the matter up. The hero today finds that
he is suing the project Of the depart
ment Of the Seine, who has refused to ap-
pear. and has sent word that the case
is outside the jurisdiction Of the ordinary
courts. and could, at most, be decided
only by an administrative council.
