HER HUSBAND OR NOT,
SHE WANTS A DIVORCE

A year later Mrs. Benrimo became
MIR. Tysen's third wife. Benrimo went
abroad n there made the acquaint-
ance of Helen Robertson. an actress.
In 1906 he and Miss Robertson were
married. Three years later Benrimo
was thrown into the greatest anxiety
by the sudden suit of Mr.. Tysen to
have his third marriage annulled on
the ground that his wife never had
been legally divorced from Benrimo.
Until 1910 the question remained I'M
settled. Then the suit was dismissed
in the supreme court, leaving Benrimo
happy in the assurance that he had
been legally divorced and consequently
was legally married. But the appellate
division of the supreme court added
it's share to the tangle by deciding that
the annulment suit had been dis
missed improperly, n that conse-
quently Tysen was entitled to a re-
trial.
Since this decision in November last.
there has been no new development in
the situation until yesterday, when
Justice Golf made his order. Now
Mrs. Benrimo, second, for whom Ben-
rimo fought the Tysen annulment
case. is suing the actor for divorce.

New York-Special: Supreme Court
Justice Golf has signed an order which
probably will bring into the light nee
more a series Of the strangest divorce
tangles which ever clogged the courts.
The order vas one appointing j.
Campbell Thompson ,referee to hear
testimony in the suit for divorce
brought against Joseph H. Benrimo.

1t is the matrimonial adventures and
m-isadventures not only of Benrimo
but of Robert F. Tysen. a wealthy re-
tired broker, as we'll, on which the
present case will probably throw more
light.
In 1876 Tysen married Miss Ida
Rowe. a society debutante. In 1892
Mrs. Tysen wen to South Dakota and
! got a divorce. In the same a Mrs.
William Pollock obtained a divorce
and thereupon married Tysen. Pol

vorced MIR. Tysen.
Then, in 1902. Mrs. Benr1mo came

insurins the Aeroplane.
prom Harper's Weekly.

The man who saw automobile insur-
ance coming when no one else thought
1t could possibly amount to anything now
says very frankly that he Is keeping a
close watch on aeroplane insurance. Ut
will come sooner than any of you ex-
pect,' he states positively. That has set
people thinking, for slowly but surely in
Quiries are drifting in today through
agents. A large proportion OF these In
Quiries get to the young mar OF the auto
mobiles. A good many Of the agents can
think OF no one else to send them to.
There are about 800 %aeroplanes in
practical use In this country" he says.
general Insurance upon them is impossi-
BILE as yet. The risk is SO great that the
would be beyond all reason.
The question Of rates is not even talked
Of. The premium would have to be at
least 80 per cent. perhaps even nearer 100.
But that does not mean that this Is al
ways to be so. ACCOMPANYING Is becoming
safer and saner. 1t took years for US to
learn how to build automobiles. That
problem has been solved. The problem OF
the airship will be solved"
At this moment. moreover. there is such
a thing as a%eroplane insurance. Policies
can be issued, and are issued. They are
limited policies. OF course. You can in
sure your aeroplane today everywhere
anywhere, and under any circumstances

in a way that does it or it's owner very
much good. Still it is a beginning. An
aeroplane policy can be taken out for it's
transportation by land or water. or while
it is resting in it's hangar. In other
words. to the progressive insurance man.
the airship at rest is as insurablc as a
barrel of -four. a stock Of dry goods. or a
household of furniture. When it is alive
| and flying 1t is a different matter. He Is
afraid OF it then. and Is standing back,
thinking aud waiting for developments.
The aviator who insures his machine
.akcs out the ordinary automobile policy,
with a special clause or two added. One
feature is that the policy as made over to
suit the craft OF the manbird does not at
any time cover self ign:tion-that is, any
fire originating in the machine itself. The
cost of these aeroplane policies is not high.
The rate is So, about the current price for
insuring automobiles. The ordinary auto
mobile 'foater policy" runs from p. to
) per cent. according to the condition OF
the car insured.
