XXVII-Venezue1a Since Castro Departed.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

CARACAS. Venezuela. May 21.-vene-
zuela probably is in better shape today
than it has been in all the years of its
history. Since the Punishment Of CT
priano Castro the government has been
headed by Gen. Gomez, and things have
been going along with unusual smooth
ness during his administration. Castro
left Venezuela in 1908 to go to Europe to
seek surgical aid, and, expecting to come
back he made Gen. Gomez acting presi-
dent
AS soon as Castros ship had sailed
Gomez seized the reins Of power for HIM
self. Upon the petition OF thousands Of
property holders Of Venezuela from whom
Castro had formed a habit of negotiating
forced loans, Gen. Gomez decided to pre-
vent Castro from landing in Venezuela
on his return voyage
Gomez had the help Of the powers, and
although Castro attempted to land on al
most every important island in the West
indies. none OF them would give him asy-
lum. He went back to the Canaries, and
then was lost to sight almost as If the
earth had opened and swallowed him up
The whole diplomatic world until recently

Where Is Castro?'
Some insisted that the "Restorer," as
he termed himself. had found a haven
in the Andean region of Colombia, and
that ne was only waiting an opportunity
to surround himself with an army with
which to march to Caracas as he had
marched at the beginning OF his career as
a dictator. The Venezuelan government
was anxious, and it sent an army of
about 5000 soldiers up to the Colombian
frontier to keep watch lest Castro cross
the international boundary line Mean
while. Venezuelan secret agents also were
going through Europe trying to find the
mysterious exile

that reception glorious success, neither
history nor the newspaper men who &C
companied Secretary Knox have recorded
the fact. 1t was a celebration wherein
the hospitality was as cordial as it was
strenuous, and there was something doing
sixteen hours a day for four days.
There are other candidates, but most
observers think the fight is between AL
cantra and Matos. Both Of them are
friendly to the United States, and either
would bring to the presidency culture
and an equipment which would be credit
able to the country. So far as is known
President Gomez is not supporting any
candidate.
Gen. Gomez is not an educated man,
nor yet has he received the advantages
of foreign travel. He is soldier who
grew up from the ranks and is possessed

with the revolution, for It lives by the
trade Of the Orinoco, and Ciudad Bolivar
dominates that trade.
When Castro was president he closed
the Orinoco to navigation by the Colon

runs through Venezuelan territory. There
is a nice point of international law in

came into power he waived all TECHNICAL
ties and opened up the river to the use

through the neighborhood Of the Colon

Meanwhile it seems that Gen. Gomez is
going to establish a record that will con-

he intends willingly and freely to lay
down the Office of president when his
term expires and to retire to private
life without the slightest effort to per-
petuate himself in power. If he lives up

know him best believe that he will not
allow himself to be persuaded against
such course-he will he one Of the few
Venezuelan rulers who have not resorted

in various forms. and IL he did not get a

SAVES HER LIFE
BY A FRACTION
Knife Was Falling in Hand OF
Husband When an Officer
Struck Him.

Most sensational of all exploits of the
local police recorded in many days was
the rescue of n Portuguese woman from
her murderously inclined husband by
Police Officer Arthur Anderson who
saved the woman s life by matter of
fraction of a second.
Marie Costa, the woman whose life
was almost paid as forfeit to her hus-
bands jealousy and rage yesterday
morning, and Manuel MandriX, were
tried and convicted of a statutory
crime in the police court few hours
before. The woman, who, with her hus-
band, lives in Waipahu, paid her fine
and left the court room. Her husband
found her as she was passing Aala and
King street. For the purpose he had
in view he had just bought cheap but
Extremely sharp knife with long blade.
Anderson was riding into town for
lunch when his attention was attracted
by a woman s scream for help. The
picayune drama in the life of the Costas
had approached its final scene. The
tableau that Anderson saw from the ear
was the woman pinned to the ground,
her husbands hand gripping her neck
and his other hand aloft clasping a
knife while he forced her into position
for blow.
Anderson raced off the car and reach
ing ahead of him as he ran, struck
Costa Is head heavy blow an infnitesi'
NAL fraction of second after the hand
had begun its downward stroke. His
blow had just been strong enough. The
knife buried itself in the dirt sidewalk
half-inch from the woman's throat
There was a short struggle in which
Anderson got Costa off the woman and
she rushed to safety. The officer turkey
trotted Costa to police box and was
about to ring for the patrol when the
man struck him terrific blow on the
side of the jaw and would have got
away had not Anderson 3 arm, in re.
flex action, brought the policeman q
club down on Costa's head. Almost be.
fore either had become poised again
Costa had been struck half dozen
times and his head was bleeding so
badly that when the patrol came he was
taken to the hospital instead of the re.
ceiving station.
He is now in a cell, his slight drama
tie instincts totally at loss as to how
to descend gracefully from this en-
forced anti-elimax in his life.
