BIC DEMAND FOR
 HUNTERS LICENSES

Bridgeport has the hunting fever. Those pent up in offices and factories during the summer and winter months are taking advantage of the brief hunting season and 572 licenses have already been issued to residents here. This does not include the large num- Der who have secured licenses in the county.
 The law on several species of game went off this morning. Attention has been called by Town Clerk William Thomas to the fact that while the Connecticut laws open the hunting season for woodcock the federal laws specify October 10th as the day. All hunters are warned to observe the fed eral law as prosecution is likely to be vigorous.
 Warning is sent out by all game authorities that with the large mum Der who are availing themselves of the woodland shooting privilege, the greatest care must be taken to pre- vent accidents and fatalities. The number and zeal of sportsmen this year make the pastirne most precari- ous.
 Besides the 572 licenses issued to To- cal residents there have been, three issued here to non-residents and five to aliens, and today Clerk Thomas and Assistant Clerk William Mullins are both engaged in the continued writing of permits.

DRIVE ON UNION
 PACIFIC STOCK

New York. Oct. -Opening-Acute weakness of Union Pacific featured the market, today. after an opening which aside from this one soft spot, was fair ly steady. Steel and Reading began the day unchanged and most of the other leaders varied from yesterdays close only by unimportant fractions. The complexion of the market was changed, however, when the first transactions in Union Pacific were re- corded. That stock opened with block of 2,500 shares at 156 1-2 to 156. Other offerings were pressed and the quotation was borne down rapidly to 1855 Is, a loss of more than two points. Under the influence of this break, the whole list sagged. Reading gave way point Amalgamated 3-4 and Steel 1-2. Steel pfd lost a point and West ern Union 1 1-2. Union Pacific grew steadier when the price approached 155 and after half an hour of trading speculation became quiet around the low level.
 Noon-The severe break in Union Pacific was all that was needed to bring about a renewal of heavy sell ing and the market was nervous and unsettled throughout the morning. There was no obvious cause for the pronounced weakness of Union Pacific and selling was generally attributed to the belief that a delay was proba-

MRS. STRICKFUSS SUES
 FOR LOT IN CEMETERY
ANNUAL, COLUMBUS DAY INFORMAL BANQUET
 AT HOTEL STIR RATFTMn

The suit of Mrs Joseph Struckfus of this city against Father Charles J. McElroy, rector of St Augustine's church. had a hearing this morning before Judge Scott in the court of common pleas. The action resulted from a dispute over a lot in St. Mi chael's. cemetery. When the late Fa,- tEler Cremin was alive and had charge of the cemetery, Mrs. Striclzfus bought a lot for $50 and paid $25 down. When Father McElroy took charge of the burying ground after Father Cremin' s death, it is alleged that the price of the lots was raised to $75. Father Me Elroy says the increase was necessary y to pay for expenses of grading and otherwise improving the property. Mrs
 Strickfus did not pay the extra money and wants possession of the lot Just before press hour a settlement was reached satisfactorily to both sides.
