Connecticut Naval Battalion Is to Lose
 It's Practice Ship.
 New Haven, Feb 20-The Connecti- cut naval battalion is to lose its prac- tice ship, the Elfrida, the bureau of navigation having ordered the return or that vessel to the government. The Elfrida was loaned to the state of Con- necticut for the use of the naval militia In 1898. She was formerly the pleas ure yacht of Dr H. Seward Webb and was bought by the government during the Spanish war, when the navy de- partment was fitting out the so-called mosquito fleet. After the war the government loaned number of these small vessels to the naval militia or ganizations of the different states. The Elfrida was assigned to the Connecti- cut naval battalion. Since she has been in Connecticut the Elfrfda has made her headquarters in this port The craft has been used for practice cruises during the summer season. She Is now laid up in winter quarters at the end of Long wharf
 According to late dispatches the bu- l reau of navigation has recommended to the assistant secretary of the navy l that steps be taken to withdraw from 1 the various state militias the vessels loaned to them by the government This action grew out of the request by l the state of North Carolina for the re turn of the converted Hornet, whicI had been turned back to the govern ment because the state could not keeI 1 it in repair The Hornet is now being | fitted out as tender to the receivini shin Franklin. and the bureau of navi gation is of the opinion that all of these 1 vessels are now needed in the work oi training 1andsmen for the naval ser vice. Tn it's endorsement the burear
 says: tThe work that these small yes l sells do is of the greatest value to tn. navy. especially at this time when ths
 deficiency in properly trained men i
 great. and the bureau is decidedly O l the opinion that 1t would be very detri mental to the service to withdraw tn. Hornet from this dnty." It then recon I mends that the government secure tn,
 return of the shins now loaned to vari Ous states including Connecticut l Other vessels loaned to the states ant
 ordered ratnrned are the following: j From Massachusetts the Inca: New York Ai1een: New Jersey. Huntress

They were de- termined to get on the car and the troll lev men would not let them on. One man became so hot that he was ready to fight and but for the presence of Officer Morgan there would have been a street fracas. Thetrolley men were sharply criticised for refusing to take on passengers when there was plenty of room in the car.

BOARD OF FINANCE.
City Attorneys Opinion to Be Had on
 Teachers Signing Contracts

City Attorneys Opinion to Be Had on
 Teachers Signing Contracts.
 The board of finance met last night and approved the half monthly pay rolls.
 Architect Asheim was heard relative to the payment of part Of his commis- sion for drawing plans for the Null cahy school building. He said he would like to receive $500 of the $1 900 approved some time ago by the school board MT Asheim reminded the board that his office was governed by the rules of the National Association of Architects, which call for the payment of a certain percentage of the contract price when the work was commenced and the balance later on The mayor said that~the city of Waterbury was not bound by the rules of the National Association of Architects or of any other body, but he considered MT Asheim entitled to lis pay, and it was voted to pay him $400 on account.
 A communication was received from the board of education recommending that the salary of Miss Gloster. teacher l of music in the public schools be in creased from $7OO to $75O This formed the basis of few winteresting remarks l by the mayor. He thought the board of education too easy on the question of salaries and was very outspoken in support of the contention that teachers 1 should sign contract to work for q certain period at fixed rate of salary. The mayors remarks were aimed. prin- 1 cipally at Mrs Hooker, who left here some time ago to accept position ill New Britain, after getting an increase I here, the board being led to believe l that she would prefer to remain in Wa l terbury. The mayor was of the opin-
 ion that many teachers devote more time to calling around to see members of the board and writing letters to off cials of other towns with view to l getting larger salaries than to their l duties as teachers He considered this
 simply fiim-f -famming the city and be 1 lieved it to be the duty of the board of finance to put stop to it. Mr Lord suggested that the opinion of the city I attorney be had With reference to the power of the city to bind teachers to l remain for certain time.
 I The communication and two others l from the board of education, one an. I nouncing the appointment of Miss
 Moriarty as assistant music teacher
 and the other making known the selec tion of Miss Hager to succeed Mrs
 Hooker in the commercial department
 were laid on the table until the nexi
