Special Despdfch TO THE SrN.

New LONDON. Sept. 14.-More than 100
cases of influenza have been found
among the men in the naval force sta
toned here. The submarine base has
been under quarantine for several days.
The influenza victims at the submarine
base are being cared for in the base hos
pital there. while the naval hospital in
this city is caring for more than 100
men. The majority of these cases came
from the State Pier, which is not under
quarantine. One civilian has died. but
naval officers say the disease in this
locality is milder than II Is in Boston.
The Washington Street Armory, which
has been' turned into an isolation hos
pital. is also under quarantine. Il was
found necessary to use this big building
when the cases overtaXed the capacity OF
the naval hospital.

AVER. Mass, Sept. 1.-THE develop

Law Department
Staff Is Angered
By Hylan Letter

Mayor Hylan has written more let
tiers to the members Of his Kitchen
cabinet" in the city administration in
regard to wedding out the deadwood
and dispensing with as many positions
as possible than have been given out
at the Mayors office for public con-
sumption. 1t is understood that these
private letters to his commissioners
nave been specific and mandatory in
tone, and have been highly resented by
some of the heads of departments and
employees.
1t was learned yesterday that the
Mayor wrote such letter on March 27
to Corporation Counsel William P.
burr. 1T caused considerable resent
ment among the members of the Law
department staff. The charge has been
made that the Mayor is playing poll
tics" and trying to put friends in the
Law Department. to build up a political
machine. The Law Department being
one OF the most important of the city
departments could be made an effective
political machine. 1t has been used to
advance the political ambitions of
MAYORS under previous administrations
Many OF your assistants are of the
old school and do not believe in hur-
rylng," the Mayor wrote to Mr.. Burr
IL wish you would get rid of those
just as fast as possible who will not
De on duty at Q o'clock, and who dclay
IN getting out their work.
1.-The work of the Corporation Coun-
seIs office must be spceded up. and
think that the sooner you get new men
in your Office all along the line. the
better it will be for ali concerned.
xnow you are cndeavoring to do the
best you can, and if you ask for the
designations Of a few men that are
credited with a pull and hold their
jobs through many ADMINISTRATIVE
you will be rendering great service to-
the people Of the city. do not care
who is behind men in your Office. and
| do not care what their great LEGAL
reputation may be. There are MANY
men who are anxious to secure these
positions, who will perform better
work than is being performed"
The Mayor urged the Corporation
Counsel to give this matter his immn-
date attention, as he said he was not
very much impressed with some '' NJ
the assistants under you that have
been IN the office some time"

Legislature Adjourns With
Non-Performance Record
Only Few Important Bills Passed During Three and Half
Months Session-Appropration Amounting to
$820000 600 Made to Run the State

and other anti Whitman leaders in the
Legislature to end Whitman's political
career
With this in view they reused the
farmers to a fever pitch Of indigna-
ton against the Governor, but their
success was short-lived, for Governor
Whitman quickly granted all the de-
mands Of the farmers. The anti-Whit-
man leaders, however. still have at
their disposal the Brown legislative
Investigating committee, which stirred
up the farmers, and the programme is
to have it sit during the spring and
sentiment. To-day an additional $4,000
for its expenses was appropriated by
the Legislature.
Inspired by The Tribune
The most important bills passed
gauging Importance by interest dis
played in them, were the so-called war
George A. Slatcr's bill creating cen
sorship over all textbooks in the public
schools to prevent the spread Of Ger
man propaganda and un-American
ideas, and Senator Theodore Douglas
Robinson's bill legisating out of ex-
istence the German-Americ Alliance
of New York State-werc inspired by
exposes in The Tribune.
Other war measures passed we're AS
semblyman Schuyler NJ. Meyers Ameri-
canization bills, which makes it com
pulsory for illiterate native born and
nonEnglish speaking minors between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one to
learn to read, write and speak English
Of civics; the bill Of Assemblyman
William c. Amos, requiring all teachers
in public schools to be citizezns; the
bills of Senator Robert F. Wagner, des-
signaling Benjamin B. Odell State Ice
Controller, and the measure fixing q
margin of profit on all necessities of
life; Senator Robinson's anti-loafer
bill; Senator Sage's sabotage bill;
Senator Slater's bill compelling stu
dents between sixteen and nineteen to
undergo military training. and the
Slater bill providing for systematized
patriotic instruction in the public
schools.
In the same category might be in
cluded the bills relieving contractors
engaged in public work from respon
sbility for the performance Of con-
tracts made prior to the entrance of
this country into war. There were
three such measures.
Ten Per Cent Salary Increase
Another war measure increased sal
aries of all state civil employees re-
ceiving less than 81 800 annually 10 per
cent. Still another was an appropria-
ton of s1,oooo00 for the repair of state
highways used by army motor trucks.
Two important waterpower bills were
passed under emergency messages from
the Governor certifying them as neces-
SarV to the success ul prosecution of
the war.
Other important pieces of legislation
acted upon favorably were the Martin
bill repeating the township school law
and the Wicks bill exempting agri-
cultural organizations from conspiracy
prosecutions under the Donnelly anti
trust law,
