perished. There are hundreds of
homeless people, many of them only

Shortly after the big tank, which
was struck by lightning, began to
blue, 200 workmen with 75 mules
were hurried to the place to throw up
earthen embankmenis to confine the
fire to the tank where it originated.
Suddenly the oil gave an uphoaval,
bubbled and lifted a great mass of the
burning fluid bodily from the tank and

MRS. EATON FAIL ‘ , i
TO SECURE Alluolu
End of Romance of Yale Student
and South Norwalk Vocalist
—-—ludge Decides Motion in
Favor of Respondent
Judge Shumwsy has decided not to
allow Frances Heath Eaton. of South
Norwalk, any alimony pending the
trial of the divorce suit she has insti-
tuted against her husband. EdWard
Delaney Eaton. of Albany. The mo-
tion for alimony was made about two
months ago and Judge Shumwuy gave
his decision Saturday. The principals
In the case are both members of prom~
lnent families.
The divorce Is the culmination of a
college romance. Frances Heath, who
is a very attractive choir singer, is the
daughter of a clergyman.” Mr. Eaton
was a member of the Yale class of
1900; and they sloped. .
Mr. Eaton was the first to bring
suit for divorce and his case was
brought in the state of New Jersey.
where It is still pending trial.
Eaton brought suit In Falri‘leld county
upon the ground of intolerable cruelty.
Mr. Eaton alleges desertion as his
ground.
in the argument over the motion for
alimony, Judge J. R. Taylor. Mrs. Ea.-
ton's counsel. stated that she was hard
pressed for money and was forced to
eke out her own living.
Attorney Robert H. Gould, of Bridge-
port. Mr. Ealon‘s counsel, contended
that Mrs. Eaton had supported herself
in good style for several years by her
ability as a choir singer and that she
was by no means In want, while on
the other hand her husband did not
earn a large salary, and needed every
cent he made. 'Judge Shumway has
decided that Mrs. Eaton is able to
take care of herself and has denied
her alimony.
Upon Mr. Gould's motion. Judge
Shumway ordered the plaintiff to file a
more specific statclucnt regarding the
nature of the “lntolcrabie cruelty" ai-
Icged. This the plaintiff has so far
neglected to do. although the time was
up a month ago,
