flag of the nation to which it is de-
sired to give the next highest hon

The next position of honor is to the

The case of Frank A. Stanley for merly a resident of Willimantic, against his wife, Emma T. Stanley, row residing there, claiming a divorce for intolerable cruelty on the part of the wife towards him, was heard be- fore the district court of Nevada at Reno by Judge Moran on July 21.
 The couple were married on June 26 1899, at Windham. Mir. Stanley is a noted mechanical engineer and writer on mechanical subjects. His publications have been in book form and in mechanical magazine articles. In the court proceedings Stanley com olained that in July, 1916, as he was about to leave his home in Willimantic for a business trip to New York he was arrested in his own home by off cers and taken forcibly to the police headquarters in Willimantic. That he was from there taken forcibly by the officers to the Norwich state hospital and imprisoned there. That a few days later he was taken by officers from the Norwich hospital to the Hartford retreat and imprisoned there. MT. Stanley claimed these acts were all done by the probate court of Wind ham on q complaint made by his wife, without his Knowledge. that he was insane and a subject for restraint and incarcera ton. He claimed that he was not brought before the probate court, that he had no opportunity to appear in the probate court to meet the charge against him or to prove that it was groundless.
 After being detained a short time, he was released from imprisonment, upon making a moneyed settlement upon his wife. He then went to New York city and later took up his resi- dence at Reno, Nev. The friends of MT. Stanley throughout the country who have taken a deep interest in his case are pleased with his vindication by the judicial decree of the Nevada court, which grants him an absolute divorce from his wife.
 Mir Stanley has friends and is well known in Europe. In his mechanical work he has installed large mechan- teal and manufacturing plants in Great Britain, Belgium and Germany. He is the author of the American Machinist Handbook. which is broadly used by machinists and mechanical engineers, over SO 900 copies of the book having been published.

in Europe. Mir. Stanley has large income from royalties paid by the publishers to him for the sale of that work.
 Mir. Stanley is a member of long standing of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the greatest engineering body in the world, mem Der of the Franklin institute Of Penn sy1vania, a member of the Hawaiian Engineering association, and member of the Cincinnati Engineers club, in which city some of his best work was done.
 A few months before his arrest at Willimantic and incarceration he re- ceived the special privilege from the secretary of the navy of the United States of America to travel upon and to observe the work in the U: S. $. Prometheus from San Francisco to New Yorll. The Prometheus is gov ernment ship designed for and equip ped as a moving machine ship for navy privilege and took the trip with the Prometheus and wrote and published interesting articles upon the govern ment machine ship at sea.
 A few weeks before the arrest caused by complaint of his wife he had been retary of the navy of the U. $. A. for extended cruise with the Atlantic fleet of the U. $. navy during the summer months then approaching, with
  all of the navy yards of America and the naval stations abroad.
 By reason of his arrest and conf1ne- ment he was unable to take the neces- sary preliminary steps for that sailing and the secretary of the navy, learn ing of Stanleys incarceration on the charges made by his wife, felt obliged to revoke Stanley's permission to travel with the T.. s. fleet. MT. Stanley claimed to the Reno court that this was the greatest opportunity of his fife and that the revocation of the privilege deprived him of the greatest opportunity for advancement in his profession and shut out important fu- ture sources of revenue to him from magazine articles which he had de- signed to publish concerning that naval trip.
 Edward NJ. Day of Hartford was the Connecticut lawyer acting for Mrs. Stanley and William Fl. Shields of this city was the Connecticut lawyer act ing for MT. Stanley in the divorce case.
