DECISION HELD BACK. PARTIES NOT PRESENT.
General Belief that Judge Robinson Will Uphold
 Republicans.

Judge Robinson Yesterday set 3 o'clock in he afternoon as the hour for handing down his decision in the aldermanic case of Molloy vs. Town shend, but when that hour came none of the parties in the case were on hand after a diligent search on the part of Deputy Sheriff Healy and the court messenger, who were unable to find the representatives of either party, The judge then announced that he would give his decision some time this morn ing. It is the quite general impression that the decision will uphold the legali- ty of the republican session.
 Attorney Reynolds, one of the coun- sel for the democrats, was about the court just before o'clock looking for the decision, but when the hour had come he had disappeared and could not be found. Alderman Townshend ap- peared about 4 o'clock and announced that some one told him he was wanted. He was informed that he was too late and must wait over another night

MAY NUT RAISE SUBJECT.
LIMITATION PROBLEM.
United States Action At Hague was Only to Pro-
 tect Rights.

The Hague, June 2O.-It is officially stated that Gen. Horace Porter's re- servation yesterday covering the right of the United States to present the question of the limitation of arma- ments at the peace conference does not mean that the Washington govern ment has definitely decided to raise the subject. On the contrary it is stated that it involves no change in the American attitude which is defined as follows:
 The United States regards the limi- tation or armaments primarily as 8 European question, and in face of the present divergence. of views among the European powers and the unwilling ness of any of them to assume the re- sponsibility, the United States does not feel justified at the outset of the con- ference in injecting an issue which might jeopardize the important work achievable. Nevertheless the United States does not want to see the door closed and the reservation is made to protect her right to introduce the sub ject if for any reason later she should decide to do so."

HARVARD TAKES THE FIRST GAME Ten Innings of Fast, Clean Baseball Required to
 Settle the Con-
 test. YALE'S ONLY RUN COMES IN SEVENTH Winning Tally Results from Wildly Thrown Ball
 by Chapin in
 Right.

Cambridge. Mass, June 2O.-Ten in- nings of fast, clean baseball were re- quired before Harvard won the first of the annual series of games from Yale on Soldiers field to-day by the score of 2 to 1. Not until the seventh inning was single man on either nine able to cross the home plate. Steady pitching by both Hartford and Van Vleck and sharp fielding by both teams kept the, batsmen from making the rounds of the bases. In the seventh, Yale was first at the bat. Jones cracked out a clean hit and went to second on a sac ridce hit by Camp. Cushing then step- ped tip to the plate and sent long hit to left field. Amid the cheers of the great throng of Yale supporters in the stand Jones came home, scoring the first run of the game, and, as 1t proved Yale's only tally. The side was then retired in short order. In the next in ming came Harvard's chance. Dexter sent a high fly to right field, which Chapin muffed, landing Dexter safe on first base. Mccall barely reached first or a scratch hit and Dexter went to second. Another short hit by 6imons filled the bases. Harvey went out on a foul tip. Pounds went in to the game in place of Dana and with a good single scored Dexter. Mccall was put out at- tempting to go home, and Pounds was caught between first and second. No runs were made in the ninth inning and Yale was retired without scoring in the tenth. Then came the end. Curl rier knocked pretty liner to right field but was caught out between first and second on fielder's choice, Dexter be- ing allowed to reach first. Dexter went to second on Briggs hit and Chapin in fielding the ball made wild throw. AS the ball bounded over the ground the Harvard rooters went wild, Dexter rac- ed around the bases and crossed the plate and the game was over While both pitchers played an excellent game. Harvard had rather the better of 1t, al- lowing only six hits and passing no one, while Van Vleck was hit safely nine times, gave three bases on balls and hit one man. With the exception of Chapin's two errors the fielding of both hines was splendid. Harvard made two very pretty double plays. Fully 10,- 900 persons, the largest crowd seen on Soldiers field this year, watched the game, and the cheering was continuous and spirited Score:

TEACHERS HEARD.
Present Plea for Schedule at Hearing of Board of
 Finance.
BIG PETITION FILED.
Large List of Citizens and Taxpayers Favoring
 Teachers.

When the members of the board of
 finance came downstairs from their
 brief business session last evening and entered the aldermanic chamber for the hearing on the petition of the teachers for the appropriation of d sufficient sum of money to pust into effect the schedule of salaries drawn up by the Teachers league, they found that room filled with a delegation of about 15O teachers. MT. Hackett opened the hearing by outlining clearly the points which the teachers desired to present to the consideration of the board and impress upon them. Preluding with an expression of thanks for the per mission to present their side of the case, he set forth that they intended to show, first, that the cost and time required for preparing a girl or boy to become a teacher had increased; sec ond, that the cost of living had in- creased largely during the past few  years; third, that the amount paid in New Haven compares very unfayorably with that in other cities in its class; fourth, that the schedule of the board of education is inadequate, unjust and unsatisfactory; and, lastly, that the teachers schedule Is modest, fair and satisfactory
 MT Hackett called upon Miss Har- riet Storer, of Strong school, to dis cuss the point of increased cost of and of living. She stated that to become eligible for positions as teachers in the grammar schools re- quired six years of preparation, involv- ing a cost of at least $1200 to $1,5O0, and for high school teachers eight years of preparation, after graduating from grammar school, and a cost moderately estimated at $2500.
 Cost of all the necessities of life, she showed, had increased enormously since 1897. House rent had advanced 39 per

 sion Yesterday

Hartford, June 2O--The house this afternoon voted to hold morning, aft- ernoon and evening sessions on Tues- day and Wednesday of next week in view of the fact that there will be no session tomorrow or Monday.

There was barely quorum in the house at the time but the vote was taken and carried. Leader Banls, how ever, said it would be useless to hold a Monday session if the house this aft- ternoon would not guarantee a quorum and after conferTing with MT. Bidwell the latter withdrew his motion to re- consider. Then Representative Gum of Milford moved for three sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday and on a ris- ing vote the motion was carried, 50 to 57.
 The house held another long after- noon session, making the foot of the calendar again the order of the day. The following bills were among those passed: Resolution revising the joint rules and an act amending an act cons cerning definition of spirituous and Intoxicating liquors. The act concern- ing the assessment and collection of a personal tax was reconlmitted and that concerning liquor selling near agricul- tural fairs was rejected, the favorable report of the committee on excise not- withstanding.
