MAYOR REPLIES ID
 H0HEN7HAL'S NOTE
Tells PrOhibiti0niSt He Will Not
 Have Legislative Seat

Mayor Angelo Paonessa. democratic nominee for secretary of state, today replied to the letter of k. L. G. Ho- henthal of South Manchester, active worker for the prohibitionist party in Connecticut in regards to questions asked about ratifying the prohibition amendment and a more thorough en- forcement of state laws dealing with the Volstead act.
 In writing to the mayor. Mir Ho- henthal asked what his attitude was on the question of ratifying the fed eral prohibition amendment by an incoming legislature and whether or not he was in favor of thorough en- forcement of the state laws dealing with liquor traffic and the enactment of such further legislation as may be necessary to bring the state law in harmony with the federal law, Vol stead act, so-called.
 The answer from the mayor was ex- pected the latter part of September so that it could have been brought before a meeting of the prohibitionists held September 26, 27 and 2S.
 Mayor Paonessa' answer to Mir. Hohenthal sent out today follows
 Text of Letter
 New Britain, Conn.,,
 October 4, 1922. MT. E. L. G. Hohenthal,
 South Manchester, Conn. My dear MT. Hohenthal
 T have delayed answering your let ter as the questions therein pro- pounded have no bearing whatever on the conduct of the office of sec retary of state. To particularize would say that the only reply can make is as follows:
 Question 1-As secretary of state I will not have a vote in the legis- lature.
 Question 2-" Enforcement of state laws, dealing with the liquor traffic and the enactment of further legislation v are matters in which the secretary of state has no voice.
 My private personal opinions and my conduct of public office might be as widely divergent as your en- dorsement and your actual vote.
 Permit me to call your attention to the fact that I became mayor of the City of New Britain April IT, 1922, and that since that time the laws of the city, state and nation have been and are being enforced.
 "Yours very truly,
 ANGELO M PAONESSA. Democratic nominee for secretary
 of state"

ONE LION WOUNDED.

Kenton, Ohio. Oct. 4.-First firing in the lion hunt came yesterday when Cliff Bailey, National guardsman, shot at the two beasts who have been terrifying the district in the woods near Mt. Victory.
 Bailey and his party had tracked the animals to a watering hole on the A. P. Nave farm near where they were first seen. A tremendous roar answered his shot as the lions ran into the woods.
 Posses closing in on the beasts discovered bloodstained paw tracks.
 How the lions came into this part of the country is almost as much a topic of conversation as the lion hunt itself. Some persons believe the beasts escaped from a circus, and yet no such escapes have been reported in recent months. It was pointed out that the lions might have travelled hundreds of miles to reach the woods of this district.

 BOSTON ON STRIKE
Union Men Want Shorter Hours, No Sunday Work and More Pay

Boston, Oct. 4.-The rats of the city had a holiday yesterday. The ra' catchers union had called strike. The fall season, with it's frosts, or dinarily one of rodent discomfort, be- came one of almost unhampered rambling and foraging and conse- quent content
 | In department stores, railroad ter minals, business buildings and confec- tionery and other shops served by the only two companies in the city that make business of rat catching with man, dog and ferret aids to exterm- ination instead of poisons, protection was only partial or passive.
 With costly furs on the floors or some stores, confectionery and other attractions to rodent raids elsewhere. the companies that contract to keer these business places free from rats were at their wits end to fulfill their agreement.
 All the rat catchers employed by each company were on strike for moro money, shorter hours and workless Sundays
 w. G. Geekie head of the w. G. Geekie sanitary engineering organiza- tion, explained that his men-eight of them-and the men of the Uniteo States Rat Determination company. about the same number, apparently got together, he said, formed a little union and set about to change the conditions of their calling.
 They now work from at night to in the morning. get 62h cents ao hour and work during the day on Sunday at pay and one-half. They demand a shorter night, starting at 10 o'clock instead of 6, so cents an hour and no Sunday work" Geekle said.
 The proposed change in hours, no less than the increased pay. was inn possible to grant, he declared. The rats roam most at night and on Sun day, he explained. The business places are empty then. The rat catch CTS as result, man, dog and ferret, have a free field for the chance.
