A VOLTS TEAR OF IRONS.

In the early days wolves were com paratively unsuspicious, and it was easy to trap or poison them. Then new knowledge, better comprehension of the modern dangers, seemed to spread among the wolves, They learned how to detect and defy the traps and poison, and in some way the knowledge was passed from one to another. till all wolves were fully possessed Of the in- formation. How this is done Is not easy to say. II Is easier to prove that 1t Is done. Few wolves ever get into trap, fewer still get into trap and out again, and thus they learn that a steel trap is a thing to be feared And yet all wolves have the knowledge, as ev- cry trapper knows, and since they could not get it at first hand they must have got it second .hand--that is, the information was communicated to them by others of their kind
 It is we'll known among hunters that q piece of iron is enough to protect any carcass from the wolves. If a deer or antelope has been shot and is to be left out overnight. all that is needed for it's protection is an old horseshoe, q spur, or even any part of the hunters dress. No wolf will go near such suspicious looking or human tainted things. They will starve rather than approach the carcass so guarded.
 With poison, similar change has come about Stryohnine was consid- cred infallble when first it was intro- duced It dld vast destruction for a time; th&1 the wolves seemed to dis- cover the danger of that particular smell and would no longer take the poisoned bait, as I know from num- berless experiences.
 It is thoroughly well known among the cattlemen now that the only chance of poisoning wolves is in the late sum- mer and early autumn, when the young are beginning to run with the mother. She cannot watch over all of them the whole time, and there is a chance of some of them finding the bait and taking it before they have been taught to let that sort of smell- thing alone.
 The result is that wolves are on the increase. They have been, indeed, since the late sos. They have returned to many of their old hunting grounds in the cattle countries, and each year they seem to be more numerous and more widely spread, thanks to their mastery of the new problems forced uron them by civilization.

HUNTING SEASON IS NOW ON
FOR LICENSED HUNTERS
What the Game Seekers May and May
 Not Do.

The closed season. for the hunting of gray squirrels, hares, rabbits, quail woodcock and cartridges in this state was off yesterday and the duly quali- fled hunters who have taken out the new licenses required by the new legis lative act of the past winter may now get out and enjoy the pursuit of game. Many of them did yesterday and that 8 great many intend to is evidenced by the great demand which has been made for the new licenses which have been taken out. In this city City Clerk Street ordered what he deemed a large supply of the licenses and has already gone beyond the original number which he called for.
 It is permitted to shoot gray squir- rels and rabbits to-day, but the law provides a penalty for the man who shall attempt to smoke out" any rab- bit or squirrel by the use of gunpow- der, sulphur or any other such com pound or who shall use a ferret in his hunting.
 Furthermore, fine awaits any man who shall shoot or hunt a gray squir- rel at any time within the village of New Preston, In the town of Wash ington, the last general assembly hay- ing protected the squirrels in that sec- ton of Litchfield county. It is lawful to kill quail, woodcock or partridge from now until December 1, but any man violates the law who kills more than five cartridges in one day or more than thlfty-six in a season. It is also unlawful, under the act of the last general assembly. to sell or have in ones possession with intent to sell, any quail, woodcock or partridge be- fore October 1, 1911 Apparently the law does not contemplate a close sea- son for the birds, but 1t restricts the sale of them.
 Meriden. Oct. 1.-The new hunters fcense law has proved a great dsad- vantage to the local dealers in sporting good this fall, Meriden dealer says, The law is one which does no one ex- cept the fish and game commissioners any good They get the money paid in for licenses.
 The dealers in sporting goods. who usually get a lively trade in hunters supplies at this season of the year, are suffering because of this law. Com paratively few people will pay for the privilege of hunting in this part of the state. and consequently they do not purchase shot and shells, guns, etc Merchants have lost fully 30 per cent. of the usual trade this fall.

SALARIES PAID STATE LEGISLATORS Vigorous Dissent Offered the Views of Henry
 G. Newton. MISREPRESENTATION The Wage Farmers and Me chanic Debarred From
 Public Life.
MISREPRESENTATION
ro the EaItor Journal and courIer:

To the Editor Journal and Courier:
 Hon. Henry G. Newton thinks that $500 is enough for the pay of the mem bers of the General Assembly of Con- necticut. We claim that for TO days of service at the capitol it is ridicu1ously small. Would lawyer go up to Hart ford from an inaccessible part of the State, 8 poor lawyer, for s3002 Could rising physician neglect his business during protracted session for that paitry sum? Could a brainy mechanic leave hls wife and growing family and daily wages to represent his town in the legislature? Common sense says No!
 Three hundred dollars was fixed as the salary of .Connecticuts' legislators when Connecticut was an agricultural State and when. barring q few minis ters and doctors, all the best men and leading men in the State were farmers. Connecticut has ceased to be an agri- cultural commonwealth and Is pre- elninently manufacturing State and LMOrLLlkiO us Ol Ib6 SOliS OI LOlA EtFG 0G% pendent-tied down to their jobs. But they ara not the less the best, the brainiest and the most representative sons of the State.
 AWhat tho on namely fare we dine
 Wear holden gray and d that, Gie fool their silks and knayes their
 wine,
 A mans a man for a that
 For a that, and a that
 Their tinsel show and a that;
 The honest man, tho eer sac poor
 Is king O men for that"
 The learned opponent of an Increase in the salaries of the State legislators must have a pretty poor opinion of State politics when he says that raise of $20O in salary will more utterly cor rupt the State politicians than all the laws passed by the last General As- sembly can do to purify them. What kind of peanut politicians must it be that he refers to? And why does he not advocate the reduction of the mem bers' salaries of the general as- sembly by $200 and thereby purify poli- JlCS more LLdIl dll Fle ldWS passed DY the last General Assembly can do to purify them? Or let him advocate the reduction of the salary to nothing. For he says: ''The best men are usually obtained for the offices that have no salary"
 To be serious, $500 seventy-fve years ago would command the services of the best men of the State Times have changed So that now we believe that $500 of seventy-five years ago would be represented In value by $1,00o now.
 We want the best men of the State to represent us in the assembly as much as our fathers wanted them years ago,
 What kind of men represent us now2
 The great middle class the brain and sinew of the State can not afford to go to Hartford. It is only men of Independent means and the politici- ans that make up the bulk of the as- sennbly.

Brother of Harmar Denny Elopes
 With New York Girl.

Archibald M Denny of Allegheny Pa, will not follow in the footsteps of his brother, Harmar Denny Denny, who Is a prominent member of the academic senior class at Yale, for yesterday the news of his elopement with Miss Kath- crime V. Kendall of New York leaked out. Young Denny has given up the idea of coming to college, and will go to work in Pittsburg. He is only nine teen years old, and his bride q year younger.

 A telegram to the brides parents announcing the marriage, brought a re- ply with the parental forgiveness When Miss Kendall made her debut last winter Mr. Denny was studying at St. Paul's school preparatory to en- tering Yale,

CHATFIELD MAKES REPLY
TO THE CIVIC SOCIETIES
States Position on Several of the Points He Was
 Questioned.

Minotte D. chatfeld, the republican candidate-for mayor, yesterday sent to the associated Civic societies his reply to their request that he and Mr. Mar tin should join in public debate on the issues of the campaign. Neither of the candidates will enter the debate on the ground that their time is occupied in other campaign matters. The text of MT. Chatfield's letter follows: The Associated Civic Charities of New
 Haven:
 Gentlemen: thank you for honoring me with an invitation to address the Associated Civic societies in United church, and also that you have given me the opportunity to answer the questions suggested.
 You do me the honor to say that you fare confident that, as a candidate for the highest honor and responsibili- ties which the city has to confer" your letter will find me desirous of de- fining my position with reference to the four questions you ask.
 It seems to me that your suggestion that this purpose be realized simply and effectively can best be met by simple and direct answers.
 Hoping that this suggestion will meet with your favor have the pleas ure of answering your questions as fol- lows:
 IT am heartily in favor of paying teachers in our public schools adequate salaries. No public expenditure is of greater importance and the value of such public service can scarcely be over estimated
 2--I am nnreservedly In favor of em- ploylng every available means to im- prove the sanitary conditions of New Haven and have already publicly so declared. If elected mayor my best endeavors will be used to that end. #3-Concerning the development of "rhe City Beautiful and the Greater Nsw Haven I am already fully on rec or1 by word and deed, favoring both projects as rapidly as tho financial re- sources of the city will permit, | Al favor making all use of public | buildings that can in any manner con tribute to public benefit. All school houses hereafter constructed should contain hall designed to give tho best possible accommodation for serv- ing the public in the manner you out 1 line.
 No reply has as yet been received from MT. Martin, It Is expected that one will come within the next few days
