The Times learns from an official
source that the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad has recently sold at a pri-
vate sale s4,000,O00 worth of it's pre-
ferred capital stock. The deal was
consummated some time between
June 80, 1909, and January 81, 1910,
and the price paid was s4,00O,O00
cash, or s640,000 in excess of the
highest quotation on the New York
exchange during the present year
The identity of the purchaser of this
stock is not disclosed, but it is be-
lieved to have been taken by brokers
representing Edwin Hawley. The
stock did not pass through the New
York Stock Exchange, and therefore
it was not responsible for the heavy
sales which occurred in Wall street
last fall. If the parties who were the
heavy purchasers of the common
stock on the exchange at that time
are the same who acquired the $4,-
100000 of preferred stock, their hold
ings are sufficient to give them con-
siderable interest in the company

OVER II,000 CROWN MEN WITHOUT VOTES Surprising State of Affairs-Per- sOnal Tax Will Bring
 $5O,000

Tho surprising fact that there are II 900 able-bodied men in Bridgeport, between the ages of 21 and 50, who are not voters and have no voice in the government of Bridgeport, has been brought to light through the question of assessing the personal tax of $2 upon the citizens of Bridgeport.
 It has been discovered that the per- sonal tax of g will bring no less than s50,000 from the citizens of Bridge port. This sum will more than pay for the city's share of maintaining the State militia, and will turn some- thing like s15,0O0 into the citys trea- sury besides.
 Investigators of the tax proposition have ascertained that there are about 25. 900 people in Br dgeport who are H. able for the personal tax This tax is levied on all males between the years of 21 and 60, excepting firemen, policemen, cripples, invaiids. and those who have done military duty.
 There are 1S,000 voters in Bridgeport. Of this number over 4,000 are above 60 years, and are not included in the 25, 900 hit by the personal tax. Conse- Quently there are II, 900 men in Bridge port who are eligible to vote so far as age is concerned, but are not up- on the voting lists of the city. The tremendous difference that this mass of voters might make. should they all be made" may readily be appreci- ated.

SPAIN MEANS TO SEIZE
 PORTUGAL IF. LITTLE REPUBLIC SEEMS LOST
Move Decided on by Spanish Premier May Involve Whole
 Peninsula in Revolution and John Bull Will Be on Deck With His Big Guns of War

as England has sufficient influence at Madrid to shape the developments that would follow, England has a rever- s1onary interest in PortugaPs colonies that she is bound to protect. and should Spain prove intractable. fol- lowing her absorption of Portugal, peninsular affairs.
 Any attemp. by Spain. however. to wipe out the struggling republic would in all probability. lead to a revolution by the Republicans of Spain, who look to the success of the Portuguese re- public as the sign of their ultimate triumph. It is this phase of the sit uation that leads sober Englishmen to believe that the political disorders in Por. .ugal are likely to involve the whole peninsula in revolution
 Disorders have already occurred in a number of places in Portugal. in con nection with the monarchial move ment. President Braga is ordering the arrest of scores of malcontents He declares that the threat of inter vention by Spain will consolidate the people and weld the republic more firmly than ever
 Should the republic be overthrown the Duke Of Oporto. uncle of ex-King Manuel. is believed to have the bes, chance for the throne. although if is certain that Dom Miguel, the preten- der. would oppose him. Manuel has already demonstrated his incompe, ency and 1t IS not believed that he will be stored under any condition.

Scout Cruiser Will Soon Cut Across Ocean to Turn
 Back the Enemy.
Especial from United Press.)

Washington. Dec 30-Just as in time of war. as if they were planning de- structive attack upon ,he American coast, the United States Atlantic fleet of 16 battleships today cut itself off from all ccrnmunica jon with shore and started westward through the English Channel
 From today until its arrival at Guan- tanamo. Cuba. for the winter practice. the fleet will keep itn whereabouts a secret But it will have to move cleverly. for a defending fleet of scout cruisers will soon be cutting across the ocean lanes to turn back the enemy" During the progress of the game. both fleets will be beyond he reach of the Navy Department Both as to where they shall go and what they shall do. The Navy Department simply desires results in one of the worlds grea lest and most picturesque war games ever attempted.
 Rear Admiral Stanton. in command of the scout fleet of seven vessels. may depart from Hampton Roads whenever he pleases to begin the search for the battleShips. His ingenuity will be taxed to guess correctly the course which Rear Admiral Schroeder. his opponent in command. will take across CQe AIidLUC.
 The game will involve a test of the wirelesn apparatus on both fleets and is expected to demonstrate its value in time of war. Rear Admiral Schroeder, if he uses his wireless to communicate with the ships of his fleet. is expected to employ a secret code, so that Rear Admiral Stanton vessels picking up the message. might not understand them. The wireless operators on the scout fleet will try to estimate the location of the ship send ing the meSsages.
 / Certain, restrictions have been laid upon each commander by the naval authorities who devised the game.

Girl and Her Sweetheart, Frank N|roy, Are Found in Springfield Hotel by Police,
 Claiming to be, Man and Wife
Marriage of Pair Said to Have Taken Place in Hartford A- though Young Woman Was Under Age-S -Secured S361
 From Savings Bank on Forged Order

The elopement of Irma Screeder, a pretty IT years old daughter of Mrs Eunice Screeder of Colorado avenue, and Frank Kilroy, a good looking soda clerk with whom she has for many weeks been infatuated, and Irma's forgery of her sisters name to an order by which she drew sse1, all but one dollar of her sisters saw ings. from the City Savings Bank. became known today when Detective Sergeant George Fox started from police headquarters for Springfield, Mass, where the pair of youthful in a hotel. Kilroy claims they were married in Hartford, Wednesday, but the authorities are Investigating be- fore accepting his word for it, be- cause 1t should have been difficult for them to obtain an official to perform the ceremony on account of their youth. Not unless they misrepresent- ed their ages could they have been married, for the law requires that minors must have the consent of their parents or guardians, and this neither had.
 The pretty bride is petite, well rounded. with 1uxuriant chestnut hair and big dreamy blue eyes. She found her affinity in a soda clerk, 20 years old, tall. 1.-the, with an engaging smile and pleasant word for all his patrons. They first met at the soda fountain at Graves confectionery store. Fair field avenue and Middle street, where the girl had dropped in after a mati- nee at Polls. They became fast friends. and the girl soon invited the young man to call.
 Irma lives with her mother and two married sisters, Mrs. Charles W. Hills. a divorcee, and Mrs. Otto Perl bach, a widow. Her father, James Screeder, met a tragic death by drowning in the Rooster river, in 1908. His disappearance was accom- panied by much mystery and not for many days was his body recovered, near his home at 73 Stratfield road. A few months ago the family remov- ed from Stratfield to Colorado ave- nue.
 Irrna had been i'll in the Bridge. port hospital. This forced her to give up her studies in the Bridgeport High School. When she left the hos pital she was taken with the idea of becoming a professional nurse, and she was preparing to enter the. Bridgeport Hospital Training School

BRANDEIS TALKS ON RATE CONTEST
 WITH RAILROADS
Especial from United Press )

Boston, Dec. 30-Louis D. Brandeis, the attorney, who is representing ship pers in the protracted fight before the Interstate Commerce Commission on the proposed rate increases by the railroads, today, declared. when told of the action by the Canadian rail- roads and express compan es in re- ducing rates on request of the Cana dian railroad board, without contest, that conditions may not have been the same in Canada as they were here. 'T know nothing about the Cana dian railroad rate natter he said, thence I would hesitate to make any comparison between the manner in which the American railroads have taken all the time possible for an investigation of the whole question.
 Our contest is undoubtedly the most important that ever has come before the Interstate Commerce Com mission and probably is the most inn portant that ever can come before it for the reason that 1t opens the whole question of present and future rates.
 "It is. the broadest in scope that i possibly, can be, involving some 4,0oO odd articles. For these reasons we cannot blame either the Interstate Commerce Commission, the ra lroads or the shippers for taking all the time allowed to investigate and pre- pare their data"

New York, Dec. 30.-The positive declaration of Mrs. Auguste E. Stet- son, communicated leader of the Christian Science Church, here, that Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy will 'rise from the dead to prove that there is life after death," is expected to have in this city. but throughout the the mother church for having strick- en Mrs. Eddy's name from the latest published editions of the manual, the deposed head of the First Church, here, takes the initiative in a strug-- gle that may result in widespread litigation within the next few months.
 It is contended by the friends of Mrs. Stetson that she has gained a tactical advantage by her present position. Many of the faith have steadfastly believed that Mrs. Eddy could not die, that she had conquer the head of the cult she originated. This element has harshly criticised the action of the directors of the mother church in accepting Mrs. Eddy's death as fact and going ahead with the regular routine of the church without halting to await a manifestation from the late leader. It is to this element that the Stetson statement is addressed and her friends predict, today, that she will very soon be the leader of majority of the Christian Scientists who, like her, believe that Mrs. Eddy is to re- turn to earth exactly as Jesus Christ did.
 An authorized statement was issued today, by Eugene R. Cox, head of the publicity committee of the church, in New York. as follows:
 ''There. is nothing in the teachiAgs of Christian Science nor the writings of Mary Baker Eddy to justify any statements looking to physical resur- rection and any tendency or thought in that direction is abnormal in a Christian Scientist, as it takes account of the personality of Mrs. Eddy, which she deprecated.
 t.To attempt to defy her or make her equal with God or Jesus the Christ, is equally too pungent to the normal teach, ngs of Christian Science.
 When asked if she were the second Christ Mrs. Eddy said: Even the ques- tion shocks me. What am I? What I am is for God to declare in his in- finite mercy there was and and is and never can be but one God, one Jesus of Nazareth
 Such authoritative statements by Mrs. Eddy should forever put at rest any wild and visionary ideas regard ing resurrection or reappearing in bodily form. Mrs. Eddy gave to the world Christian Science, demon strant knowledge of God and this will live forever.
