New York Feb. 5.--Two young English
men. who were passengers by the Cunard
turbine steamship Carmania. in today
from Liverpool and Queenstown, were
persuaded by two American card sharps
TO play poker in their stateroom.
The gamblers professed to be men or
social standing in this city and promised
to give TO the innocents cards OF introduc-
ton Of some OF the great folks here.
one OF the Englishmen lost s400 and the
other $500 before they got tip as TO the
character OF the sharps. The English
men made no complaint, but played no
more and decided not TO press a request
for cards OF introduction.
The Carmania had an usually large win
ter list OF cabin passengers. including
Gadner F. Williams, former general man
ager OF the DeBeers Diamond Mining
company; Capt. ID. Beatty OF the British

Percy Chubb, who belongs 10 the ma

said he usually crossed the ocean in the
big White Star boats, such as the Baltic
and Cedric, and that he came by the car
mania TO sec for himself whether the re-
port that she had no vibration were true.
He found that she did vibrate and that
the vibration was due not TO her engines,
but TO her propellers, which run at very
high speed.
The marine engineers were working on
the problem of adjusting turbine propel-
lers so that practically all vibration would
be removed. and Mr. Chubb said he under
