Revolver Association.

The Metropolitan police force re-
volver team won the first match for the
Csrmody Challenge Cup, from the Re
volver Association team at the National
Guard Armory yesterday afternoon. The
police ran up a score of 461. while thc
guardsmen made 431 The police had
only an advantage of so points. which
although not as large a margin as the
Revolver Association men had at the
last match. was enough to win the
handsome silver trophy offered by Capt,
John Doyle Carmody, and TO fill their
hearts with joy The police have done
good work with the revolver on former
occasions. but never before had they
practiced so faithfully and made such a
splendid showing as they did yester
day. and Major Sylvester. to show his
appreciation and gratitude for the good
showing made by the half a dozen
guardians of the peace. who so handily
defeated the men whose duty it is to be
expert with the rife and revolver.
gave each of them 10-pound turkey
for dinner today and congratulated them
for their good work and declared to
them once again that he would support
them in any similar undertaking
At the last match between these two
teams. the policemen were not familiar
with the range or the targets, and in the
match they were required to stand five
feet farther from the bulls eye than they
had done IN practice. This came little
hard to them at the first trial, and they
declare it lost the match for them. Since
that match they have visited the range a
number of times, and improved each day
The Revolver Association men scored a
victory over the bluecoats last time, and
were 90 points ahead of them at the final
totaIing, Several changes were made
on the association team for yesterday
match, but the policemen's team was,
with one exception. the same as at the
previous match This change was Pri-
vate Archie MeIIen, one of the recognized
crack shots OF the United States in years
gone by, placed fifth on the team instead
of Private Buckingham.
Most of the policemen did better shoot
ing yesterday than at any previous time.
Kennedy was the high man. with a total
score Of 81 points. He put three shots
directly in the center of the bulls eye,
and scored a nine, an eight. four sevens
and a six. Private Mccormack also made
81 points for the policenen's team. New

GOZNAN'S MURDERER
Rewards Aggregating 5000
Are Now Offered.
A NEGRO IN VICTIMS ROOM

ment Shortly Before the
Tragedy.
A NEGRO IN VICTIMS ROOM

The theory that Lazier Gozman was
murdered by one of the negro loungers
about his store and sleeping room is
held by the policemen and detectives en-
gagged in investigating the case
Suspicion points strongly to a young
negro. light in color. who was seen in
the bedroom by several people on Tues
day afternoon. an hour or so before the
tragedy. \ man of this description had
Wounds on his face and hands dressed
in Boomers drug store, North Capitol
and R Streets, about 6 o'clock
Saw Negro in House.
It is believed that the murderer was
in the house from II o'clock until about
4. The back gate was locked at the
former hour and several people in posi-
tion to notice are positive that no one
except some women customers and two
fruit peddleTs went into the store after
that time. They remained but a few
minutes. Solomon Kaufman saw a ne
gro on Gozmau's bed at 1 o'clock. This
negro frequented the place and evidently
knew that CONAN had money in the
house.
Eighteen wounds were found on Coz
mans head and face. and ali Of them
we're probably made with the Ratchet
brought by the murderer from the wood
shed. 1t is remarkable that no one Of
the dozen people in fifteen feet of the
store heard the noise of the fight A
test was made ye. terday. and it was
found that the dropping of a light chair
on the floor could be plainly heard in the
adjoining house. Gozman's bed was bro
ken down, and several heavy articles
overturned in the fight which occurred
partly in the sleeping room, and partly
in the store. Gozman probably struck
his assailant with the cleaver.
