Forces Believed to Be In Surrender In Texas Pera Cruz, Mes, Bee. SI A federal troop train was blown up with dyna mite today 170 miles southeast, of Mexico City on the main line of the Inter- Ocean 1 o Railway connecting the federal capital with the coast. Presidio, Tex., Dec. 31 It was the opinion of military experts here to day that the battle of Ojinaga, Met, would be decided within 24 hours. Likewise, it was believed that the only chance of the federals to escape ex termination, should the rebels pour in on them, was . a precipitate flight across the United States 'border. The federals were reported short of ammunition while the rebels, : by the frequency of their fire, appeared to have an ample supply, said to have been taken with the occupation of Chihuahua. The tactics of narrowing their semi-circle -around the federals were continued by General Ortega's forces.- : - Whatever the - outcome it - was cer tain, that no surrender would ,be con sidered. -, General - Villa at Chihuahua had said; that , he would execute all federal volunteers whether they sur rendered "or not. United States cav alry patrolling the border: considered what they would do if the 4,000 meii commanded - by almost a dozen gen erals, should start a rush across the river. ' Major McNamee, commanding the patrol, had' about' 1,000 men stationed at points along the river where it was likely refugee soldiers would cross.

C. church during the past 10 years, and ' son of former town clerk Robert Weber will be the organist at St. Patrick's church, succeeding Miss Sarah E. Lee. , Miss Lee's increasing duties as treasurer of the Consolidated Piano Co., made it imperative to give up the church work. PLAN OF UNKNOWN' WOMAH IS BALKED BY PROBATE JUDGE A . woman who planned to start a rooming house on a small legacy which Frank Fohenfoach is to receive from the estate of Edward Schneider will be sadly disappointed. Judge Hallen in the probate court today named Alexander F. Morrissey as con servator for Fohenbach. The latter is 71 years old and is an inmate of Lakeview home. When it became known that he was shortly to receive the money some woman became in terested in his behalf and decided that the money could be put to no better use than the establishment of a fur nished room house over which she would preside. Members of the Charities board were informed of the situation and since Fohenbach is a city charge and an aged man they decided that he ought to have a. conservator. Accord ingly application was made known to Judge Hallen. Today the woman whose name is unknown to either Jndge Hallen or the members of the charities board, called the Judge on the telephone and asked if Mr. Fohen bach had "received his money yet." When informed that he had not she seemed very roach perturbed and hur riedly bung up the telephone receiver. WTO won MIS ID E MISSI YMG MO Curious Coincidences Point to Frederick A. Bennett, Secretary of Manufactur ers' Association, As Much Sought Man. No Frederick J. Bennett,But Frederick A. Bennett Had Father and Mother of Same Christian Names As Father and Mother of Son Asked to Visit Woman About to Die. Stranger- coincidences are eeldom uncovered in. fiction til an the facts to day pouring into Bridgeport to point an evidential finger at one of its most prominent young citizens as being perhaps the son of a aged and dying mother who seeks that solace in her last moments which can only toe given by the child of her travail!. Although, as published exclusively In the columns of The Farmer, yester day, Frederick Albert Bennett, a self made man, and at present holding the dignified and responsible post of sec retuary of the Manufacturers' associ ation, strenuously cenles that he is the son of Margaret Bennett, at pres ent on her death Ted in Waltham, Mass., and destined xo live but a few days longer, the coincidence of his birth place, occu-axions and resi dences fit with such nicety that were it not for the well established fact that circumstantial, evidence some times lies, he would undeniably he accused of deserting his parents in the very shadow of the grim reaper's hand. For several weeks the police and railroad agents of various cities and towns, throughout Connecticut, have been, asked to locate "Albert J. Ben nett." Such facts ware published in The Farmer Monday last. ' - On Tuesday information-. reached this city, which indicated that Albert J. and Frederick A. Bennett were one and the same. Yesterday the denial of the local man was published. Today the following . letter . from James 3. O.'Ifeil, 26 . Moody -teitl Waltham .Mass., sent to the local sta tion agent at " Santfy Hook, Conn., was shown to a reporter for The Farmer: - Waltham, Mass., - Dec. 13, 1913. Town Clerk, Sandy Hook, Conn.: Please tell me if you have on your poll ' list a. young man named Albert J. Bennett, born in Boston about 27 years ago, the son. of Andrew and Margaret Bennett. '- His last place of residence here was Eiverett street, Al- J ston district, oBston. The last wa beard of him was 'in Sandy Hook, though part of . the time ' he was in Newtown. If you . can give me any clue to hie residence I will be very grateful, as , his . mother is . ill with arterial hardening. Find stamp for reply. Tours truly, JOHN B. O'NEIL, , 26 Moody street, . , Waltham, Mass. It was further learned from the registrar of marriages and deaths at Newtown, Conn., that one, Frederick Albert Bennett? was married by Rev. Otis Olney Wright, rector of St. John's church, at Sandy Hook, to Miss Maud Homer Blackmail, daughter of James M. Blackman. From the records it was ascertained that Frederick Albert Bennett gave his age as 24, his occupa tion as manager and his birthplace as &Boston. The name of his father is given as Andrew Bennett and that of his mother as Margaret Wiln. To this he swore Ibef ore Oscar Pitzschler, a registrar. - It will be noted that by a most peculiar coincidence both the father and mother's names in the letter of inquiry and the marriage certificate are the same. With a difference of three years, the ages tally, and from information today received from John B. O'Neill in Waltham, a -letter writ ten to Albert J. Bennet in Newtown was answered over the signature of Miss Maud ' Homer Blackman. So cer tain are the friends of Mrs. Bennett in Waltham that her son is in Bridge port, that they will leave" that city today in the hopes of finding Albert Bennett and prevailing upon him to again see his mother before she dies. Frederick Albert Bennett, could not today be located in this city for fur ther information or denial of the facts received In this city. It was said at the offices of the Manufacturers' As sociation that he was'at the offices of the Fuel Engineering Company in New York city. There it was admit ted that he had called but refused to leave an address, saying that he-would later call up Bridgeport and say where he could be found. Of Frederick Bennett, it is said, in Newtown, that he . came to that sta tion about six years ago, in the capa city of a telegraph operator. He was later transferred to Sandy Hook station of the Berkshire Divis ion of the New Haven road. He ap plied for a permanent position as dis patcher at Newtown, but did not get it. He then came to Bridgeport where he entered a local business college and soon gained the requisite knowl edge of business conditions which ele vated him to his present influential and responsible position. When he first arrived in Xewtown he was accredited by those who knew him with being a- communicant of the Catholic church. He boarded at the home of the McXamara. family there and was accepted as of the Catholic faith. It is asserted that he had a sister, a nun in a convent in Rhode bland, which was partially conSrmed today through reports from Wj tham. Later he became a Protestant and as an officer in Hiram lode. IS, P. A A. at Xewtown, became ireS known in Jtfasonie circles. SOW FOE mm YEARNS? His Tenunciation of the Catholic faith is said to have been first demon strated in the McNamara household when, upon an occasion, he was pre vented from destroying, or throwing away, a scapula that had been in his possession for some time. ' His marriage to Miss Blackman, daughter of James M. Blackman, an official in the New York Belting & Packing Co. of that town, but since removed to Passaic, N. J., was cele brated in the Newtown Episcopal church. At the Blackman home in Passaic, today, it was said that he was not expected - there for the holidays. A search of the poll-lists in New town and Sandy Hook, as far back aa 1905, today, failed to locate any other "Bennett" than Frederick Albert, mak ing the coincidence as published above seem eVen more odd. MOOTED QUESTION AFFECTING CITY Superior Court Judge Ben nett Decides Against Jennings Bros. The decision Hied yesterday by Judge Bennett of the Superior Court in the action of Edward Jennings ?nd others vs. the City of Bridgeport set tles another question of disputed law under the provisions of our city char ter. Some months ago, the officials of the street department started to change the grade of Elm street, at the corner of Harrison, iby lowerjig the grade on the north side , of Elm street. This was objected to "by the property owners on the ' north side, chief among whom were Henry R. Parrott and Thomas Morrissey. Their contention was that if the grade of the street was to be changed, the south side should be ' raised rather than the north side lowered. Their reason! for this contention was that it was already somewhat difficult to turn from Harrison street into Elm and the proposed change of grade would make it much more difficult and would consequently interfere with and lessen the traffic on Elm street. They therefore brought the matter to the attention of the cemmon council and that body, on a recommendation Of. thei, street committee, ordered the south side to be raised and thenorth line left at its present elevation. Director of Public Works Courtade started to' comply with this order of the council and an - injunction was served on. him in an action brought by the Jennings- Bros., the owners of the factory property on the southeast corner ; of Elm and Harrison streets. They Claimed that' this change of grade would be a serious detriment to their property and that inasmuch as they had not been awarded any damr ages, the work could not go ahead. The charter provides that before any property is taken for a public im provement damages must be assessed and paid to thet aggrieved property owners. The matter was heard' by Judge Bennett a short time ago on an agreed statement of facts. Briefs in the case were filed by Jennings Bros, toy Marsh, Stoddard and Day and for the city by City Attorney Pullman and by Thomas M. Cullinan, who repre sented the property owners on the north side, of the street. Judge Bennett, in his memorandum of decision, sustains the contentions of the city and holds that a change of grade . is not a taking of property, within the meaning of the charter, for which compensation must be paid before the work is done. He there fore dissolves the injunction, which was issued, and the work of changing the grade of the street may now pro ceed In accordance with the order of the common council. TWO D ANBURY WIVES FILE DIVORCE SUITS Two Danbury wives who have found marriage a delusion and a snare, filed divorce actions in the superior court today. Emma Taylor of the Hatting Town wants a decree from Bayard Taylor of the same place. She alleges habitual intemperance. The couple were married November 17, 1887. Mrs. Taylor's maiden name was Emma Lane. Ida E. Newkirk seeks a separation from Simon Newkirk. Desertion on May 1, 1908 is alleged. Mrs. New kirk's maiden name was Ida Bough ton. She married the defendant Oct. 8, 1907. A. H. Bullard Head of State Manufacturers At the annual meeting of the Man ufacturers' Association of Connecticut held in Hartford yesterday, Augustus H. Bullard, secretary and treasurer of the Bullard Machine Tool Co. of this city was elected president. Firty-six of the largest concerns in the state were represented. He succeeds Col. George Pope of Hartford. Mr. Bullard's selection will un doubtedly mean that the association is going to experience a year of ac tivity and the inauguration of a cam paign for trade expansion and co operation that will excel ail previous years. Mr. Bullard has never inter ested himself In any proposition that he did not make things move. He is the father of Bridgeport's greater fire department which he developed while president of the local fire departme. He also started the campaign for state wide fire prevention. He s a director of the Southern New Eng land Telephone company and to him largely belongs the credit of the wires of all the public service corporations in Bridgeport being put under ground and the securing to the city the free use of the telephone company's con duits for the city's wires.

Shelton, Dec. , 31 Matilda Rabino witz, one of the 'leaders of the Blu menthal strikers, announced today that - the strikers have evidence to show that the bullet which injured Mrs. Mary Smarsh, yesterday, came from. a pistol in the hands of a fore man in the Blumenthal factory. During the trial of Michael Horvick, in Shelton town court, before Judge Dillon, several witnesses testified that a man named Griffith, who is a leader among the strike breakers in the Blu menthal plant, was seen to fire five shots from a pistol, from a window of the Cement house. It was also testified that other spe cial agents had beaten women. Hor vick was charged with throwing hot ashes on the heads of Patrolman Er nest Nettleton and Special Deputy William Doolan of Bridgeport. He was sentenced to spend 60 days in jail, and promptly furnished bonds of $250. Mrs. Smarsh is making rapid re covery from her wound, and would be sent to her home, except for the squalid conditions that reign there Her son, a youth, is in the home with his head in bandages as a result of a beating given during Monday's riots. The .Blumenthal mills are practical ly shut down today. Nobody is inside except the strike breakers and a few loom fixers vio are not affiliated with the. union of the Textile workers. A committee of the strikers, repre senting Branch" No. 2, of Local 28, Textile Workers, I. W. W.. asked to see Supt. BVitz . Stolzenberg, head of the Blumenthal works, who refused to see them. The representative of the Farmer sought Mr. Stolzenberg, who is a mid dle aged, very courteous man of Ger man extraction, and offered to present the company's side of the controversy. Mr. Stolzenberg replied that the com pany ' preferred to fight its own bat tles.' George Barlow, warden of the bor ough of Shelton, is willing to offer the services of the borough officials to affect an arbitration. He said today, "Nothing can be done because, the company is unwilling to arbitrate. They insist they have nothing to ar bitrate." This view was also expressed by D. N. Clarke, president of the Shelton Business Men's association. All the borough officers are much disturbed by the cost of the strike to the town. There are 28 deputies here, who are drawing $5 a day and $1.50 for expenses. The strike is cost ing the town $200 a day and, if It con tinues much, longer, will increase the borough tax rate one mill. Bitter complaint is made by the bor ough officers of the character of some of the deputies, and the business men contemplate a request to Sheriff Voll mer to send in his regular deputies and withdraw the specials. The OTBrien agency. which is in charge of the strike' breakers, has ask ed that its men he sworn in as spe cials, but the borough has no author ity to make specials of tftosw wh are not citizens of the borough.
