Directory Gives Interesting Facts Re-
 sardins Representatives.

Washington, April 23.-The new con- fressionaI directory is out, with the au to biographies of the members of the Connecticut delegation. Because there are four new members in the delega- ton. special interest is taken by resi- dents of Connecticut in the biograph ical features of the new directory. While it is not so stated in the book, the biographies are written by the members of congress themselves, so each has as much or as little as he pleases.
 Congressman Jeremiah Donovan of the Bridgeport district has the brief est of the biographies, being content with two lines of type; Congressman Lonergan of the Hartford New Britain district has the longest with fourteen lines.
 The biographies disclose that all five members of the house were born in the state. Congressman Donovan of NorwaIk is the oldest in the delegation, being 5s years of age, but Congress man Kennedy runs him close second with 58 years. Congressman Mahan is 56 and MT. Reilly 54 Congressman Lonergan is the baby of the delega- ton, not yet having celebrated his 10th birthday.

TOWN OF NORWICH BRINGS SUIT
Against Harrison Davis Claim That He Has Obstced Watercourse on Laurel Hil-Temporary Injunction to be Asked For-John A. Clarke Sues For $5000 Damages in Railroad Accident

Suit in which s4.000 damages are
 claimed and an injunction is asked for
 has been brought by the town of Nor W1ch against J. Harrison Davis. The
 claim made by the town is that MT. Davis constructed a tight stone wall Which ran across lot he owns on Sunnysid avenue and also construct ed Q trench and cu1vert which de- f1ected the course of the stream and were defective and insufficient to car ry off the waters and that he also placed Instructions designed to cause the water to flow out upon Laurel Hill avenue By reason of such construc- tion and allowing, dirt and other waste matter to accumulate, it is claimed by the town that the waters. mixed with sewage, have been caused to overflow and stand upon Laurel Hill avenue, to the damage of the gutters and Nigh way endangering public travel and creating a nuisance.
 The town has been put to large ex- pense, 1t is claimed. in repairing in- juries to the highway roadbed and gutters, and is in danger of suits at law by reason of the acts of the de- fendant mentioned.
 Relief is sought in a. mandatory in- junction which is asked for in the papers drawn by Shields & Shields. for the town, to compel MT. Davis to remove the dam wall and all other Instructions alleged to have been constructed by him. and to re- water and to do away completely with the diverting watercourse constructed by him.
 The case is returnabIe before the superior court on the first Tuesday in May. Motion for a temporary injunc- ton against MT Davis in this case is to be argued before the court on Fri day.

LOSES HIS LICENSE
 FOR NINETY DAYS
Capt. Albert Free of Tug MeWiiIian,s Found Guilty of Endangerins Hu- man Life.

Capt. Albert Free, who was master of tug Sarah E. McWfIlfams on Feb. 4 last, the night which barge Anna R. was lost from the tow of the Me Williams, has been found guilty of charges of endangering life, by United States Inspectors Withey and Stewart and his license as master has been suspended for period of 90 days.
 Herbert Bristol and a New Haven woman, whose name is unknown, lost their lives on the Anna R. Tt was also charged that the lives of Capt James Silk and Capt Joseph Lurnly on barges Blue Bennett and James H. Scully were endangered at the time.
 Captain Free surrendered his G- cense Wednesday morning at the New London custom house He has been master of tug James McWilIiams since the sale of the Sarah E. McWiIliams, which took place soon after the loss of barge Anna R.
 The Anna R. was lost near Bartlett Reef Hghtshfp shortly after midnight on the morning of Feb. 5. She was the sternmost of a three barge tow. No sign of wreckage from the coal laden scow has since been reported. Captain Free did not discover the loss of the barge until after reaching port and was informed then by the masters, Silk and Lumley. of the other barges.
 Following reports of the disaster, made to the local inspection board at
 
 Stewart brought charges against Cap tain Free and summoned him to show cause why his license should not be suspended. The trial in this respect differs from action under state law in that the accused must show cause why in the minds of the inspectors he is not guilty of infraetion of pilot rules.
 It was charged that by moving the tug and barges from New Haven at 445 D. m. on Feb. 4 Captain Free en- dangered life. because, as shown in testimony, conditions of wind and sea made it dangerous: that the lack of life saving equipment on barge Anna R. made her movement under such conditions of weather foolhardy and that Frees reckless disregard for un- favorable weather caused the foun- dering of the barge.
 In ordering the suspension of Frees license the inspectors say: "In taking notice on MT. Free that he will not be permitted to endanger life upon waters of this inspection district, and to warn him that a repetition of his conduct in this respect will result in the revocation of his authority as 8 licensed officer of steam vessels
 Before the loss of the Anna R. Cap- tain Free held a record for fearless ness in foul weather. by which he at feat he accomplished was to leave port while large fleet of tugs was weatherbound at New Lendon; secure a tow of loaded barger and return to New London before the other tugs had moved By completing this trip Cap tain Free, it was said, put one over" on the other shippers.
