Intimate Friend of PrincipalsSums Up Reasons for Do-

mestic Shipwreck.

LONG BEACH, N. Y., Aug. 10."Teilegen turned Tarzan. He startedto love her rough. That caused thetrouble."

This was the laconic summing upby an intimate friend of both princi-pals in the Tellegen-Farra- r domes-tic shipwreck which is now in theWestchester county courts.

The final smash-u- p came on a dayl3te in July when the famous primadonna visited Teilegen .it m fishingshack here, according to the story.

It was their second m-eeti-ng, saythe friends. In ten months and Telle-ge- n

forgot the platonic rule whichfriends allege he had played for fivej'ears with his beautiful wife.

The little, fishing hack, the friendsexplain, where Bernhardt's actor-lov- er

had sought eecluion In an ef-fort to rest echoed and re-echo- ed

with the sounds of loud voices. ThenFarrar, flushed and angry, was seento hurry from the house, enter hercar and start at breakneck speed forNew York.

"We rassed the afternoon togeth-er," Teilegen is said to have told hisfriends. "What happened will neverbe told by me."

Farrar visited Teilegen at hisbeach camp, it is said, on "diplomacybent." The man who had thrilledthousands with the passion of hiskisses had failed to thrill the onewoman in the one way his heart de-sired and rifts appeared on their do-mestic horizon.
