FRESH LAuRELs SOUGHT.
Proposed to Send American Rife
Teams to International Contests.

A campaign for raising funds with
which to send American rifle teams to
the international pan-American tourna-
ment and to the fifth Olympiad was
launched today by the executive COM
mittee Of the National Rifle Association
of America. The first named tournament
will be held at Buenos Aires May 16-a,
and the other at Stockholm, Sweden,
June 29-July ).
The executive committee Of the asso-
citation consists of Lieut.. Gen. John c.
Bates. Z. s. A., retired; Brig. Gen. c. r.
Boardman Of Wisconsin. Brig. Gen.
James A. Drain Of Washington. Lieut.
Albert s. Jones Of this city. Representa-
tive John Q. Tilson of Connecticut, Col.
c. D. Gather Of Maryland, Brig. Gen.
h. e. Dill of Maine, Col. III. G. Catrow
of Ohio, Col Joseph Garrard. L. S. A.,
and Capt. c. D. Rhodes, Z. s. A., rep
resenting the assistant secretary of war.
1t is estimated that $4,000 will be
needed to pay the expenses Of teams to
the matches. The largest part of this
money will probably have to be raised
through public subscription. although an
exhibition of rifle shooting may be given
here to aid the movement.
This country now holds the Olympian
rifle shooting championship with the mil
ttary rifle. having been the victor at the
last Olympiad, held in England in 1905.
three International championships as we'll
as several worlds records.
The elimination "try-outs" by which
the members of the teams will be Sc
lected will include participants from the
Army. Navy and Marine Corps as we'll
as civilian experts. The final try-out will
be held on the United States Marine
Corps range, at Winthrop, Md.
In setting forth it's appeal for the sup
port Of the American public the COM
mittee in charge declares that "the prop
osition to have this country represented
in the rifle shooting DIVISION of the
fifth Olympiad should appeal favorably
to every American. Our ideals of sports
manship alone would be argument enough
in favor Of our defending our hard-earn-
ed laurels. but there is also another
strong reason for our being represented:
A great international rifle shooting tour
nament is to be held at Camp Perry,
Ohio. in 1913. in connection with the
Perry centennial, and the sending abroad
of these American teams this year will
ASSIST greatly in making a success OF
that event.

OUT OF OLD RIGHT OF WAY.
Progress on Canal Forces Panama
Railway to New Route.

So far has the work on the Panama
canal progressed that the Panama rail-
road is being gradually worked out Of
its old right Of way. Next Thursday the
railroad will begin using the section Of
the relocated track between Gorgopa and
Gatun. a distance Of thirty-three miles.
and by the LIST Of April the section Of
the old track will be entirely removed.
BY that time also, 1t is expected, Gatun
lake will begin to rise to the 5O-foot
level.
The new track increases the distance
between Colon and Panama approximate
ly five miles and adds ten minutes to the
running time, which. under the new or
der of things, is two hours and twenty
five minutes. At the present time there
Is only one station on the new road, but
1t Is the intention to establish several
flag statiOns-where the trains stop on
signal only.
Questions of facilities to be provided on
the terminal docks at Balboa and Cristo-
bal for the convenient and economical un-
loading and loading Of vessels passing
through the canal are being considered
by committee consisting Of Col H. F.
HODGES. civil engineer. II. H. Rousseau,
U. 8. N: s. b. Williamson and J. A.
Smith. The matter Of the storage and
transfer of such freight as may be neces-
sary In connection with ships using the
waterway Will be considered by the COM
mittee, In addition to the formulation of
plans for railroad tracks on the docks
and for cranes and other cargo-handling
appliances.

INJUNCTION TO GET.
BENSON OUT
NEGRO PASTOR OF FIRST BAP.
TIST CHLRCH, CNLORED, RE-
FUSES TO QUIT.
Members of His Congregation Would
Elect Another Minister But
Benson Objects.

Declaring that c. w. Benson, a ne
gro minister, who has been pastor
temporarily of the First Baptist
church, colored, ON West Pullen
street, for the past two Or three
months, refuses to be deposed and
announced that he would preach at
the church today even though he
would have to have assistance on the
part OF his satellites, e. W. Hilton,
A. j. Taylor, Brown Bolden and 9th
ers, all negroes, officers and members
of the church, yesterday, through
their attorneys, Caldwell and Brock
man, applied for an injunction from
Judge J. NJ. Elliott to put legal
quietus on the activities Of the re-
calcitrant minister According to the
complaint Benson was employed to
serve as pastor after the death Of
Rev. BOlden until another man was
employed. Benson was also modera-
tor and at meetings Of the congrega-
ton he absolutely refused to enter
tain motion which had for its pur-
pose the employment of another
preacher.
The officers and members of the
congregation, says the complaint, held
meeting without the knowledge Of
Benson and voted to call another
minister and when Benson became
cognizant of the fact he annouced
publicly that he would not quit and
would occupy the pulpit 81 spite of
the congregational insurgents.
Late last night no order had been
issued by Judge Elliott and it is eX-
pected that the police force will be
entirely insufficient to cope with the
situation if Benson carries out his
threat as the opposition is up in arms.
