Governor Follows
Wishes of Wilson
On All War Bills
Sets Hearing for Wednes
day ON Measure to Form
Domestic Insurance
Companies
Especial Corvespondeucel

ALBANY, April Ex-Governor Whit
mans action on bills which in any way
concern the war will closely follow the
wishes of the authorities at Washing
ton. To-day he set for next Wednes-
day at noon a hearing on the bill of
Senator Towner providing for the
formation of domestic insurance COM
panies to transact business in place of
the German insurance companies whose
property has been taken over by the
government under the trading with the
enemy act.
Although there is strong opposition
to this measure, the Governor, it is
learned, is expected to sign it on the
ground that its enactment is sought by
the custodian of alien property at
Washington. The latter has sent word
to Albany that the measure is abso-
lutely necessary
Vetoes Wire-Tapping Bill
The Washington authorities caused
the Governor to-day to veto the Muir
ply "listeningin" bill, which would
make it misdemeanor to tap tele-
phone wire except upon the order of a
Supreme Court justice. The Governors
action followed information from Sec
retary of State Lansing and Attorney
General Gregory, who had sent word
on the telephone would greatly handi-
cap the work of the Secret Service.
Despite the opposition of labor rep
resentatives che Governor indicated
that he was not unfavorable to the
blll giving school children over four
teen years of age permits to work dur
ing the summer vacation. 1t is war
measure. but labor represer tatives de-
clared it would let down the child
labor safeguards.
In signing the Walters bill amending
the election law the Governor said it
was to be regretted that provision
was retained providing that the news
papers in which lists of polling places
were to be printed would include "a
daily newspaper published in the Ger
man language" The Governor cx-
pressed the hope the Board of Elec-
tlons would not avail itself of this
privilege.
Ottinger Bill Is Signed
Because of the women voting. the
Walters bill increases from 5000 to
1900 the number Of signatures to an
independent nominating petition and
increases from 300 to 400 the number
of voters in an election district
The Governor signed the Ottinper
bill, providing that rent leases in New
York City shall be for monthly ten
ancy. unless the duration of the oc-
cupancy shall be specified as longer in
writing.
He also. signed the G. T. Davis bill
reducing from twenty-five to ten years

War Department
To- Help Police Rid

Detail of Soldiers and Fifty
Detectives to Ferret Out
''Bootleggers''

An official statement Of the pins of
the War Department and the police to
protect soldiers and sailors from i'm
moral influences in New York City was
made last night, after a conference be-
tween Captain Timothy N. Pfeiffer,
representing the Law Enforcement Di-
vision of the War Department Com
mission on Training Camp Activities,
as V. Underhill, representing the Po-
lice Departments Division of National
Defence.
1t was announced that the War De-
partment had agreed to provide suf-
t!cient detail OF soldiers under Cap
tain 'Pfeiffer to cooperate effectively
with the Division of National Defence
OF the Police Department, which is
under the direct supervision of Com
missioner Ryan and Inspector Under
hill.
independent Investigations into con-
ditions have been conducted for sew
partnent and the Police Department
and recently joint Investigations have
been made" says the statement.
"Conditions have been unusually
good, except in a few localities where
it was ascertained that Intoxicating
liquors were being furnished to men
in the service through 'bootleggers' and
other unpatriotic persons.
"These conditions have now been
largely remedied by the activity of the
Police Department in arresting such
persons, but, in order to reduce this
class of offences to a minimum, it has
been deemed advisable to have soldiers
detailed for the specific purpose of CO.
operating with the Police Department
Captain Pfeiffer will be in constant
touch with Commissioner RYAN and In.
spector Underhill, and will be in charge
of the detail of soldiers assigned ia
this work.
"The importance of New York City
as port of embarkation makes it es-
sential that every possible precauton
be taken to protect the men in the
service"
Fifty police. detectives who are to
assist the military detail received their
instructions yesterday afternoon from
Inspector Daily, and will start immedi-
ately on this new work.
Last nights official statement fol-
lowed an announcement by Raymond
b, Fosdick, head of the Commission
for Training Camp Activities, that the
War Department had detailed twenty
five soldiers to cooperate with the po-
lice in ridding the city of undesirable
resorts. 1t was said that the soldiers
will work in uniform. and will buy
drink whenever it is offered, thus OBJ.
