ALLISON STREET:
This room is most appealing

home life; second, because the
bath is close by; and third, be-
cause it is so well furnished and
equipped. This room is available

gate at once.
ROOM IN OWNERS HOME:
You are cordially invited to in
spect this lovely room, for it is
really worth while. The house,
which is a detached one, was built
by the owners for their own use,

huge and we'll arranged. Adjoin-
ing the room is a bath with bath
tub and shower, and as there are
two such baths on this floor, you
would have no fears of congestion.
Rental $25 for one and $50 for two.

Tele- phone service between Waterbury and Hartford ceased at 9:30 o'clock while, on the other hand, threatened Interruption of wire service via the Western Union was avoided after intense work on the part of emer- gency crews in the Hartford dis trict. Railroad service between this city and points beyond Hartford was also considerably affected today. Highways in various parts of the city, being under water, prevented much transportation activities out of Waterbury

CLAYTON SUIT IS
 ARGUED TODAY
Mary Elizabeth Clayton Wants to Have Case
 Put Back on Docket

Arguments over the restoration to the superior court docket of the SlOOO00 alienation of affections suit of Mary Elizabeth Clayton against MT. and Mrs. John R. Clayton were heard by Judge Frank P. McEvoy during short calendar session this morning. There wil be an additional hearing later, before the judge rules on whether or not he has the right to return the case to the docket to await trial and then If he should do 50. On January l, the case was au- tomatically taken of the docket, fol- lowing an order issued last year in superior court here. wherein the case was to be stricken off if it had not been tried by January 1, 1886. To- days arguments were presented by Attorney William B. Hennessey for Mrs. Clayton and Attorney Clayton l.. Klein, for MT. and Mrs. Clayton, the defendants.
 Filed Years Ago
 The suit was filed here some years ago and a verdict in favor of the de- fcndant was given when the case went to trial. The supreme court up- set that verdict and ordered new trial, but the re-hearing has never taken place. Walter Clayton, whose affections were allegedly alienated from his wife by his parents. died during the litigation. Mrs. Clayton charged that her husbands parents caused her husband to leave her after years of happy married life. Judge McEvoy instructed Attorney Hennessey to secure evidence as to why motion on the case had been delayed so long and present the evi- dence to him within a week. after which he will make a ruling.

Takes Boat Over Worst Sections of HartfOrd-feard People Shouting for FOOd-WfOle Families
 MarOOned on Top Floors of Houses
BY JACK AMMAN Jnited Press Staff Correspondent

Hartford, March 20 - (UP0 -- rowed through the flooded streets of Hartford today and heard scores of marooned families screaming for food.
 Leaning from the second story windows of their inundated homes they appealed frantically for aid There were few boats to take them off.
 State troopers stationed on an isolated Connecticut river bridge said food was moving slowly to flooded areas. Milk was the principal staple being ferried from Hartford proper into the flood zone.
 Six or seven rowboats and canoes evacuating stranded families cap sized as curret whipped them through the streets. Although the water was seven and eight feet deep in many sections, police said no one was drowned.
 Shouting For Food
 "The people have been hollering for food all night" one trooper told me. About l5 of us have been here since yesterday morning getting the people out. We don't know how many are lett. And the water went up a foot in the last two hours"
