 Clocks.

Mary A. Treat of Stamford was granted a divorce from Mayor John
 J. Treat of Stamford today when Judge Webb of the Superior court ac- cepted the report of Attorney Charles s. Garfield of this city, who acted as a committee to hear evidence in the case. The committee recommended that Mrs. Treat be allowed a divorce on her cross complaint in which she alleged that Mayor Treat had been
 guilty of intolerable cruelty. This re-
 port was accepted by Judge Webb.
 The Mayor did not present any evil
 dence before the committee, although
 he originally brought the divorce pro- ceedings and made numerous -allega- uons of cruelty.
 He claimed his wife threw an alarm clock at him, attacked him with a
 butcher knife, cut buttons from his | clothing, opened his mail, called him a ''crook' and a ''grafter," and did other things to make life unpleasant for him. The couple were married in 1898.
 The details of Mrs. Treats allega- / ticns of cruelty against Mayor Treat were not disclosed in the comrnittee's report.

by members of the deputation to Mr Lloyd George was, according to un- official reports, a complete absence of bluster or violent language. Their statements were intended to show by reasoned arguments that national ization of the mines was entirely in the interests of the community, and also that the miners were supported in their demand by the whole body of trade unionists throughout the country. From quoted statements of prominent labor leaders, it is ap- parent they not only believe nation alization desirable, but are convinced there will be a constant unrest in the labor world until it is granted. It appears to be their impression that If extreme action is necessary to en- force the demand, not only the miners will strike, but trade unions generally.

 Two Cossacks, military policemen, were arrested by the Americans, who subsequently left. The headquarters of the Japanese garrison volunteered it's good offices and through its inter mediation, the Cossacks willingly re- turned the arrested Americans to the headquarters of the 14th Japanese di- vision. Simultaneously, the Ameri- cans returned the Cossacks they had arrested. It is absolutely untrue that any apology was demanded, or that the Japanese threatened to back the Cossacks if the Americans did not re- turn the captured military police men"
