AUTO INSURANCE
 CASE IS DECIDED
Holder of Public Liability Insurance Policy Cannot
 Be Beneficiary

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. i3.-CUP).-- The holder of 6 public liability in. surancc policy cannot become Q beneficiary and collect damages for injuries suffered while a passenger in his own car, the supreme court ruled today. Tho ruling was made in the case of Frederick Cain, Taunton, Mass, against the Ameri. can Policyholders Insurance com- pany. Cain, driving from Taunton to New York July l8, 1884, allowed wNine W. snellman, Waterford, q paAsenged, to operate his car while he slept. The machine struck Q truck at Fairfield and Cain recov- cred damages of $4,500 from She'll man in New London county superior court. He then brought action against the insurance company, claiming benefits under his own lia- bility policy.
 Divided Decision
 The superior court was divided in itJ decision. A majority opinion agreed with Massachusetts laws dcnylnB Ine TlBHV oA tAie ulSuASu " collect. ITO accord to this policy the effect which the plaintiff clairns,~ the opinion read, would be to virtually insert into 1t an- other contract, distinct from public liability accident insurance against bodily injuries suffered by the as- suged. There is nothing to indicate any intention of either party to combine, in this policy, these two kinds of coverage."
 The minority opinion declared the policy essentially one to indemnify the insured against liability for loss. Its meaning and effect should not be determined upon the basis of the right of the person injured in the course of the operation of the au- tomobile to recover from the com pany but upon the basis Of the right of the insured to be protected from loss"
