of the famous Senator Mark A.
hanna, mas Just been sued for di-
'orye b. his fourth wife.
Senator Hanna was the foremost rep
resentative of big business" in American
politics. His son is perhaps the fore
most man in Americas divorce courts
Dan Hanna started marrying young and
he has kept at it ever since. His first
marriage was in 1887 and his last was in
1916.
There is, reason to believe that in most
cases whenever one wife has brought
divorce suit Mr.. Hanna has already had
everything ready for the next marriage.
The interesting question now must
therefore be, "Who will become Mrs. Dan
Hanna No. 81" No one who has watched
his brilliant and tireless matrimonial ca
reer can doubt that there will soon be
Mrs. Hanna No 5. 1t must be remem-
bered however, that Mr.. Hanna is now
sixty years old and perhaps cannot step
TO the altar quite as quickly as he has
done on previous occasions
OF course, there are disadvantages in
being Mrs. Hanna, for all his wives hither-
to have accused him of cruelty or infidel-
ity In spite Of that, the student of hui
man nature must feel certain that some
where there is beautiful. charming,
thoughtess woman who will venture to
take chance and become Wife No. 5. In
the illuminated glare of Mr.. Hanna's past
record she. will indeed be courageous
woman.
The suit of Wife No. was recently
begun at Pittsfeld, Mass. Mrs Hanna
charged her husband with cruel and
abusive treatment. There were some
very peculiar and novel circumstances
about the alleged cruelty
The suit was brought at Pittsheld be-
cause Mrs Hanna has an enormous es-
tate in the nearby Stockbridge district.
It was originally bought by Mr.. Hanna
and combines what we're formerly three
noted estates. Mr.. Hanna and his fourth
wife spent their honeymoon there, aud
he gave this property to his blushing bride
at the time Of their marriage, for when
bis affections are at their springtide he is
a very generous man.
Il was In 1916 that Mr.. Hanna married
his fourth. She was then known as Mrs.
Mollie Covington Worden, and was the
divorced wife Of. John b. Worden,
Standard Oil magnate. He obtained
divorce from her while living at Nice,
France Mrs Worden was a beautiful
and charming woman.
After two years there came reports OF
The Washington times., 1921-04-17

married for a brief time to a dashing
Rritish army officer, Colonel Walter de s.
Maud. but had experienced a bitter dis
illusionment with him. But she cherished
dreams of greater happiness with an
American Senator's SON
Within a year of his first divorce Dan
Hanna married Mrs Daisy Gordon Maud
That was in 1899 II is said that the
honeymoon was scarcely over before the
unhappy bride found reason to complain
OF the neglect and fickleness of her hus-
band. Nevertheless, she tried to make the
hest Of married life and little daughter
was born to them. At times she was dis
concerted by his friendliness for his first
wife displayed when he went to talk to
her about their children.
After a little more than a year of mat
rimony they separated and in 1902 Mrs.
Hanna No. began suit for divorce. She
accused her husband of extreme cruelty,
as her predecessor had done, but the case
was in many ways more remarkable. The
case came up for trial in the Common
Pleas Court of Cleveland in June, 1907.
The wife's complaint was made in court,
hut extraordinary efforts were made to
keep 1t secret The details were consid.
cred too painful and startling to be al
lowed to come to the ears Of an outside
person.
Judge Phillips ordered that all persons
except the parties to the case and their
attorneys should be kept out Of hearing
and that Mrs Hanna might whisper her
evidence to the court What happened
then can only be reported as follows:

serious disagreements between Mr. Han
ma and his fourth wife. In 1919 there
was a mysterious $4,000 jewel robbery
az the Stockbridge mansion and the un-
derlying facts have never been explained.
Mrs. Hanna's boudoir was ransacked
while the family was at dinner.
Last Summer Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna had
very serious difference. He left her at
Stockbridge and went away to another
estate he had purchased at Ossining, N.
Y. Mrs. Hanna did not regard the sepa-
ration as permanent.
Hearing that her husband was sick, she
went to the Ossining house with a heart
full Of affection, she alleges, to comfort
him. II was there that she suffered the
cruel treatment of which she complains
most bitterly.
She was deliberately shut out Of the
house by her husbands English butler,
assisted by the chauffeur, the second par
lor maid. the trained nurse and other
Eirelings. She made a second attempt
to reach her husband and was again
thwarted.
"One of the maids, who was under con-
troll Of the nurse, slammed door on my
hand and my husbands chauffeur locked
the front door Of his room from me-" said
Mrs. Hanna in a statement
What an amazing scene! A famous
millionaires wife, accustomed to every
luxury and Difference, shut out Of her own
and her husbands house by his servants!
IL not that an intolerable affront?
Mrs. Hanna was at first charitably dis
posed to think that her husband, who. was
ILL.,. was not respou BILE for the servants
actions, but now she has reluctantly come
to the conclusion that he meant II.
After that Il will be interesting TO glance
at Mr.. Hsnna's matrimonial progress in
chronological order. Back In 1887. when
he was twenv-six years old and the
spoiled darling OF his immensely wealthy
The Washington times., 1921-04-17

Her family had long been prominent in
the city and held the highest social po-
stion. The Hannas had only recently be-
come known through the Senator's wealth
and political activity. 1t was considered
that Dan Hanna was far beneath May
Harrington socially and in other ways,
but the young mans impetuosity and per-
haps his wealth won the maiden and she
became Mrs Dan r. Hanna No. l in 1887.
Three sons-Mark, Carl and Dan R..
Jr.-were born to them, but their friends
knew that the lovely young mothers life
was daily growing more unhappy.
In 1897 Mrs. Hanna No. / brought her
suit for divorce in Cleveland, Ohio, and
revealed an astounding story Of cruelty,
misery and unhappiness. She accused her
husband of extreme cruelty and furnished
specific details Of such conduct.
Society was shocked to hear that the
famous Senator's son had treated his deli
cate wife as an intoxicated longshoreman
might have done. She alleged that he
used his fists on her frequently; that 'on
one occasion he blacked her eve so badly
that 1t remained in this condition for
seven days. She also charged him with
gross neglect in coming home very late
or not at all and in forgetting to inquire
after her health and that OF the children.
The trial Of Wife No. Is suit for d.
vorce came up at Cleveland, Ohio in 1898.
Two typewriter lines contained her
charge against her husband.
"Plaintinr says that defendant has been
guilty of gross neglect towards her and
has treated her with extreme cruelty"
The Judge was quickly satisfied that
the charges we're proved and Immediately
granted Mrs. Hanna her divorce.
Even before the divorce was granted
the susceptible Mr. Hanna was paying at
tentions to the lovely Mrs. Daisy Gordon
Maud one OF the most noted bellies OF
Cleveland. Her father was a prominent
citizen who had given $1,000 900 for pub
lie parks in Cleveland She had been

The Washington times., 1921-04-17


This kind of testimony went on for thir.
teen minutes, at the end Of which the
Judge granted Mrs. Hanna her divorce
without further details.
Mrs. Hanna's appearance bore out the
statement of her affidavit alleging cruelty
Although she was noted as one Of Cleve-
lands prettiest women, her face at this
time was remarkably haggard, her eyes
we're heavy and her cheeks without color.
From persons concerned in the case 1t
was learned that Mrs. Hanna testified
that her husband neglected her for weeks
at a time, swore at her and mistreated
her when he was In his cups, which she
declared was often.
She declared that her husband tore her
clothes from her back on one occasion.
But what she whispered to the Judge is
still a secret and probably will ever re-
main So AS she left the court she ex
claimed TO her attorneys:
Thank God. it's all over now; but 1t
was terrible while II lasted
The Washington times., 1921-04-17

The case was heard with the utmost
secrecy, as other Hanna divorces had been.
The husband did not contest the case and
the Judge waived the usual sixty-day rule
and granted an immediate decree.
This particular Hanna divorce case was
heard in just half an hour.
While Wife No. 3, the former Marie
Stuart was starting her divorce suit, Mr.
Hanna went on a great tour of the world
including Japan.
When he returned TO the Pacific coast II
was noticed that Mrs. Hanna" was listed
as on the ship. II was obvious that she
could not be the Mrs. Hanna" who was
bringing the divorce suit. But she had en-.
joyed all the delights of travelling round
the world in millionaires society
When the immigration officers boarded
the ship they wanted to see Mrs. Hanna"
They went to the stateroom assigned by
the ships purser TO Mrs. Hanna" and
there found a handsome young woman
gayly smoking cigarette.
mo, I'm not Mrs. Hanna" laughingly
declared the young woman You must
guess again. Have a cigaretteT
Within four months Of Mr.. Hanna's d.
vorce from Wife No 3 he was married to
No. 4. Mrs Mollie Covingtop Worden.
That was in 1916. Her troubles and sor-
rows with him have already been de-
scribed.
What woman will be brave enough to
take the risk OF becoming Dan Hannas
fifth wife?

Mrs. Hanna then went to Europe
with her child to recover her health.
His various divorces have cost Mr..
Hanna millions of dollars. Fourteen
years ago, when he had been divorced
only twice. It was said he had paid
$500 900 to his two wives. Since then
he has had to NANCE two others. 1t
is said that. on his recent separation
from No. he settled $4,000 a year
on her for life, in addition to giving
her the Lenox estate, valued at over
100000.
Within forty-eight hours of his d.
vorce from Wife No. 2, Dan Hanna
was married to Mrs Masie Stuart
Skelly. the divorced wife of Frank
+. Skelly, popular hotel clerk. vino

Astoria.
Mrs. Skelly was a vivaciously at
tractive young woman, and it was
understood she had left her first hus-
band mainly for the purpose of going
on the stage. In short time. how
ever, she met the multi-millionaire,
Mr.. Hanna, and, disregarding the ex-
periences of other women, consented
TO be his.
Wife No. lived long enough with
Mr. Hanna to become the mother of
three children, but. as might have
been expected, she soon began to find
herself unhappy.
1t was Hanna's hfidelity that of.
Tended Wife No. 8 beyond endurance.

INDIANS ADVANCE

Cne ~ one the tribes of Indians In

the way, centuries ago. had a league

have been broken up, until but com
paratively few remain. The inroads
OF the white races have been mainly
the cause of these divisions. Now the
red men of the Fort BeTknap reserva-
ton in Montana have themselves seny
delegation to Washington to urge
congress to pass a bill distributing the
lands OF the reservation among the
individual Indians, with a certain por-
uon thrown open TO general settle
ment, and some sections reserved for
state school purposes, says Christian
Science Monitor. Thus the end of
separate political organization is has
tened among the peoples who occu-
pied the lands of America before the
white man came. The United States
today contains about $4,000 Indians,
and the fact .iat of those only 1900

striking evidence of the redmans adj
