MAY HAS OLD INVENTION
 FOR RAISING SUBMARINES
Believes Disaster at Pro, iucctO,,n Could Have Been i,crted by
 ISC of Device.

Interest in a device patented in 1916 by Charles May of 79 Shuttle Meadow avenue, for locating and raising sunken ships. has been re- NHod following the sinking Of the Submarine S-4 off of Cape Cod. It is Mir. Mays contention that if the S-4 had been equipped with the device, IL would have been raised in six hours 10 the surface and unnpcas. %ary loss Of life would have been avoided,
 The invention consists of set Of large spools which rest in grooves in the top of the ship while not in use. In case of submersion. these would be released by trigger device and would raise to the surface and be hold there by ropes attached 10 the submarine.
 An illustration of the device was made by MT. May. He took the S-i as an example and said that il would have had six spools as its equipment. These would be made of q material which would float and they would be arranged in pairs. Be side each set would be a large ring through which cable could be passed in case of trouble. The rope would be passed once through the ring and each end would be at tached to q spool. When the spools reached the surface, q cable could he attached to one end and it could be passed through the ring as q means of pulling the submarine up. This would eliminate all dangerous diving operations. he says.
 AIr. May is an employe Of the E. Jahn Co. here, manufacturers of special machinery. He is q former councilman and alderman from the first ward and is widely known He stated today that his device has been patented for 10 years.

and might bring about a reconcilia- ton, and because of the fact that I was fond of her and loved her. IL was the only light 10 me on a very dark subject. he said.
 The witness stated that he was unwilling to accept her decision 10 live apart from him, as final. and he tried, by d series Of letters. to cf- feet q reconciliation, but without success. He stated that he saw her in March. 1926. at the home of a friend in New Haven. but that she reiterated her refusal. She made 1t unquestionably sure she had no love for me as Wife" tS said.
 Mrs. Sophia R. Earth of 420 Whit ney avenue, New Haven. a member Of the International Institute of tn" New Haven Y. w. C. A.. and q s,I- perior officer of Mrs. Gilmans. was the friend referred to by Rev. Mr. Gilman. Mrs. Earth. on the witness: stand. said She made it very clear 10 me that if was an impossible sit uatlon and that she could never re turn. l have the greatest respect for Mir. Gilman as an individual and for Mrs, Gilman as an individual. l am sorry 1t is an impossible sit nation because they are both very fin" people"
 "What did she say about the di- vorco business?" asked Judge Jen- nines Of Mrs. Earth.
 Shes glad to have a divorce" :" said Mrs. Earth. Testimony corro- horating that of Rev. Mir Gilman, to the effect that his wife left him in 1923. was given by Oscar A. Marsh. head of the claim department Of Landers. F'rary t Clark. deacon Of Rev. Mir. Gilman's church and su- perintendcnt Of it's Sunday school.
 The minister said that in 1918 he entered Near East relief work, which took him 10 the Caucasus where he met Irene Paro"ian. an interpret"r for the relief workers, and E months later. August 12. 1920, mar ried her.

MINISTER'S APPEAL FOR DIVORCE HEARD
Key. E. N. Gilman Tells Court of
 His Hopeless Love

Seeking a divorce on grounds of desertion because of physical incom- patibility. Rev. Raymond N. Gilman. pastor of the Stanley Memorial church. this city. appeared before Judge Newell Jennings in the su- perior court at Hartford yesterday. Rev. Mir. Gilman brought suit for he divorce from his wifo. Irene Parogian Gilman, worker in the In ,ernational Institute of the Y. ". C. A., New Haven. last summer, as Was reported In the Herald at the time. Decision in the case has been reserv- ad by Judge Jennings.
 The clergyman related story of ciliation and he told how his hopes became dinner as time went on. He told his story in a quiet. dignitied manner. from time 10 time reading excerpts from his wife's letters to him. in which she praised him as a
 man, but dcplored him as q hus- band.
 After they were separated she wrote to him: You are q fine man; you are good. There is nothing ] can object to in you. It is only that We are not physically suited to each other. There you have it. It is not caprice. It is not q whim. IL is a cry of utter impossihilty."
 Such were the letters, well writ ten and eloquent. In another she said: " ou are not to blame. Hou are oil and I am water in our mar ried life" Every letter read by Rev. MT. Gilman held him up as blanc less for the failure Of the marriage " don't blame you for anything" she stated in another letter "YoI hare been the kindest and best man. don't blame you for our unhappi- ness. IL just came to us. You are brave. strong and kind"
 The break came suddenly. "as q thunder bolt out Of q clear sky" a S the petitioner described it. On July c5. 1924. Rev. Mir. Gilman received q special delivery letter from his wife. who was on vacation in New Haven. In the letter she described to him the impossibility of continu- ing their married life.
 T went 10 the house of%AIrs. Gill man in New Haven the next day and she vas not there" he said. The next morning I went to her lawyer. MT. Robert Alcorn. in New Haven and told him my story as she requested" As the result of that conference, Rev. MT. Gilman and Mrs. Gilman signed separation agreement In which he agreed to provide for her. He stated that he signed the document "on the sole ground Of helping her, because MT. Alcorn said 1t was the best way out
