EXPERT RIFLE PRACTICE, The New Law Will Be Big Help to
 Rifemen.

Washington, D. C., June 30.-Un- der the provisions of the militia law recently enacted by congress. great impetus will be given to expert rifle practice, not only in the army, navy and marine corps, but especially in the national guard of the various states. American riflemen have dem- onstrated that they are the most ex- pert in the world and this supremacy is expected to be maintained in all future international rife matches. Already the impetus given by the new law is noticeable. General Rob- ert Shaw Oliver, assistant secretary or war and president of the board created by congress for the promo tion of rife practice, has entered up- on the work under the law with en- thnsiam. He was for many years a prominent officer in the New York National Guard and always has man. ifested particular interest in rife practice. Just now he is exerting him. self to make notable success of the rife competition which is to take place at Sea Girt, N. J., next Sep tember. He has received a voluntary subscription of $2,010 in cash to be added to the money prizes annually offered at the Sea Girt competition and, on behalf of the board of which he is the president, he has accepted the amount. The addition of this sum will make the prizes we'll worth striving for and 1t is quite certain already that many of the most expert rife shots in the United States will enter the competition. The money prizes offered by congress amount to $450. With the voluntary subscrip- tion, this will place at the disposal of the board a sum aggregating $2,460, which will be divided into twenty nine prizes to be competed for at Sea Girt. This money will be distributed in the individual competition, the first prize for the best shot being a gold medal and $1,000 in cash. The second prize will be gold medal and $400; the third, gold medal and S200; the fourth. gold medal and $15O; the fifth, a silver medal and S100; and so on down the line of the twenty-nine prizes.
 The individual match Is open to the army, navy, marine corps, cadets at the United States Military acad- emy, midshipmen at the United States Naval academy, the organized militia of all states, territories and the District of Columbia; and the members of the National Rife As sociation of America and affiliated clubs.
 The national individual match and the national team match will be shot off at Sea Girt. beginning on Septem- Der 4. The most important individual competition will be the presidents match. The first prize in this match is an autograph letter from the presi- dent of the United States and the military championship medal of America.
 General Oliver has received ad- vices that the number of competitors this year will exceed that dfany for mer year and the meeting at Sea Girt will be the most important rife con- petition ever held in this country or in the world.

HIS HOLIDAY OVER.
Castro to Resume Presidency of vene-
 zuela July s.

l WASHINGTON, June 3U.-Generai Cipriano Castro will resume the presi- ] dency of Venezuela on July 5, so it ia
 reported from Caracas.
 When he does so he will find himself confronted by requests from the Unit ed States for the settlement of Ameri-
 can claims against his government. 1 I For more than year Castro has not
 been bothered by the United States.
 Meantime Judge w. J. Calhoun has l visited Venezuela and investigated the American claims, and the state depart
 ment has been busily engaged in re
 viewing the cases and putting them in condition to be passed. Representations covering practically all the American claims against vene- zuela will be presented. The New York and Bermudez, Critchfield and Orinoco concession claims are the lar gest and best known.
 Diplomatists regard the determina- tion of the United States to press its claim at this time as unusually signifi- cant.
 Heretofore the fear that other South American republics would be fright ened by aggressive action against Cas- tro by the United States deterred the state department from insisting on set tlement.
 President Castro's refusal to partici- pate in the Rio conference caused him to stand alone, and in failing to ar range for visit to Venezuela on his South American tour Secretary Root only emphasized the position which Castro occupies toward the govern ments on this continent. By arranging for visit to Colombia, the enemy of Venezuela and the power which was supposed to cherish i'll will against the United States because of the secession of Panama, the Ameri- can secretary of state, it Is believed here, has paved the way for cordial relations between the United States and Colombia to be once more opened up.

4 WIDOW LOSES s5.ooo.
She il Laura Bunert and She Has
 Robert Gilmore Arrested.

| New York, June 30.-Mrs Laura Bunert, an Ohio widow with sport ing instincts took suite at the Hotel Cadillac some six weeks ago. She had not been there long before she ran into youth named Robert Gilmore, whom she had met some time before at Lexington, Ky. Mrs Bunert says that she got into the habit of en- trusting her young friends with money to bet on the races. Last night he was locked up in police headquarters charged with getting away with S5,000 of Mrs Bunert' s cash.
 Gilmore is said to have we'll to do relatives in St Louis and Mrs Bunert started for that city a few days ago when she found 1t impossible to lay hands on the young man here. Before leaving she told Detectives Bonnoil and Petrosino a story which they in- corporated into their complaint against Gilmore when they took him to headquarters last night. The story runs thus:
 Gilmore, who gives his present ad- dress as "The Whitney," Gravesend, Impressed Mrs Bunert strongly be- cause of his evident knowledge of racing. He has dark curly hair and a flowing mustache.
 Mrs Bunert's husband left her money mainly in Ohio oil lands.
 Gilmore gave her some racing ad- vice, she says. which opened her eyes, and she decided to let him man. ipulate her cash account. Within three weeks she found herself $2,500 to the bad. All she had left in her bank account here was $5,000, and this she resolved to hang on to.
 But Gilmore persuaded her that he had something good for the Subur- ban, run week ago Thursday, Ce- darstrome 60 to 1 shot. His protes- tations of inside knowledge" con- corning Cedarstrome's chances per- suaded Mrs Bunert, by her own story, to draw out her $5,000 with the in- tention of going to the track to see the race.
 Gilmore called on her Thursday morning, and she showed him, she says, the S5,000 in her satchel. She had occasion to leave him alone for a few moments and when she came back, as the detectives recount her tale, she found her satchel empty. She remonstrated, but Gilmore as- sured her that 1t was all right: he had secreted the money about his person because her satchel looked too tempting for pickpockets. He took her to the track, where he got two grandstand seats. He left her to place small bet on the first race and she has not seen him since.
 She reported her troubles to police headquarters and Bonnoil and Pe- trosina got Gilmore at Sheepshead Bay Wednesday afternoon. He denied at first that he was Gilmore, but when confronted with a photograph he made admissions which brought about his immediate arrest.
 Mrs Bunert, being temporarily hard up, left the Cadillac to board with a friend. but bent on finding Gilmore. she raised enough money a few days ago to pay her fare to St Louis, where. she says. Gilmore's fa- ther is the owner of a chain of quick lunch restaurants. She does not com plain about the loss of the first s2.- 800 only of the s5.000 which she charges him with stealing.
