KARSS GOT HIS.

New London, May 19.-,Jack Karns, who has had a good rest for few weeks, was selected to do, the pitching for Hartford yesterday In New London. and his work showed that he had be- come rusty in his enforced idleness. Pitcher Paige, usually stumbling block for Hartford. had the sluggers up his alley yesterday. and they were able to connect only four times. Hart ford's only run was made by the squeeze play. Karns dashed across the plate on the play almost before the home team was aware what was in the wind. New London started the scoring, making a run in the first in- ming. with none out Doran's error was responsible for this. Karns was hit hard in the sixth. three of New Lon- don's five hits being made in this in- ming. But for fine fielding New Lon d0n's score would have been larger. The team had ten men left on. bases. No official umpire put in an appear ance and Pitchers Parkins of Hartford and Mclaughlin of New London ofli- cIated. The attendance was 3Q0. The score:

from the ocean. Under the circum-
stances the continuance Of competitive
naval distension on the part Of the Eu-
ropean nations would seem to be absurd.
From this point of view no one will con-
test the soundness Of the axiom pro-
pounded by Mr.. BRYCE, that ornaments
and policy must have some relation to
one another. When naval expansion has
ceased to have any political object, it
logically ought to stop.
1t Is not necessary that the new Peace
Congress, which President ROOSEVELT
has promised to call at The Hague,
should undertake to limit by interna-
tional agreement the expenditure for
naval purposes. Every European ma
ton for itself will, we may assume, be
taught by common sense to recognize
the point when further outlay on navy
would be needless and useless. Those
who have to provide revenue can prob
ably be trusted to see that it is not thrown
away,

BENDER SECURES DELAY.
Questions the JurisdictiOn OF Civil Service
Commission In His Case.

ALBANY. Sept. 14.-With view of ques.
tioning the jurisdiction of the State Civil
Service Commission TO act, rather than
to meet directly the charge that he had vio-
lated tho civil service law in collecting
and requesting last fall political contribu.
tons from employees in his department,
State Fiscal Supervisor Harry H. Bender
to-day appeared at the adjourned meeting
Of the State Civil Service Commission,
held to continue the consideration of the
charges against him. Former Judge Edwin
CountryInan appeared as counsel.
At the outset Judge Countryman pointed
out that under the law the State Civil Ser
vice Commission could investigate the acts
Of a State officer or a State employee ont
side of its own department in connection
with the administration Of the State civil
service law only when such acts were in
conjunction or in collusion with the State
Civil Service COMMISSIONS own employees
Consequently, Judge Countryman III
sisted that the charge against Mr.. Bender
did not come within the Jurisdiction of the
State Civil Service Commission to invcs-
tigate. He pointed out that the question
was such an important one that the State
Commission should ask Acknowledgement
Mayer for an opinion before proceeding.
This the commission decided to do and
the hearing was adjourned until Sept. 2s
The State Commission believes, however
that 1t has the general power to investigate

sinction Of political parties arc to-day alive to the
fact that the great misfortune OF the loss OF Panama

good results Of which already In evidence, and
which In the early future will prove how mistakenly

This Is pleasant news. We hope that

stration Of its accuracy. Senior PEREZ,
the writer of the article. notes with salts

the new Colombian Minister, Senior
DIEGO MENDOZA, and the resumption
Of the interrupted diplomatic relations.
