CARDS sHaRps on STEAMER.

Professional card sharps on the
steamship Lusitania made cleanup
OF more than S14 900 10 draw poker,
according to statesmentS made by pas
sengers arriving on that Vessel at New
York yesterday. One mar lost 81 900
in an hour, it is said while the stakes
on the table amounted to mere than
that sum nearly all the time. The
card sharps are said 10 have had sys-
tenn Of signaling to each other. 50 that
their victims stood no chance whatever
% win
The game was played several hours
each night for four days, and those who
played with the sharpers are SAID 10
have been we'll known Americans.
A description OF the game vas given
BY one Of the passengers, who desired
his name to be withheld, and was as
follows:
Il sat and watched the games hour
after hour and WAS amused at the sig
mails passing between the two profess
sionaI players and the ignorance OF their
victims. Or course, it was none Of my
business to caution the victims and
they evidently could afford to pay for
their fun.
I've lived almost all my life in the
west, where gambling houses are open
and atoyeboard, hut | never saw such
quick action rs there was IN those
games. The play never began until
after II O'Clock. when the lights in the
smoking room are usually eXtingulShrd.
The players had the lights continued
and generally played from II until )
or o'clock.
Il saw several jackpots OF more
than thousand dollars and saw one
man, Frcnchman, lo.e thousand in
an hour and then quit. There wasn't
any trouble whatever; no fights; no
quibbling; the Professionals simply took
the money away from the others and
I counted up to Sl1 900 that changed
hands

The service OF a squad Of policemen
was required yesterday afternoon to
enable the Electoral Board of Norfolk
county to 60 into executive session for
the purpose of naming clerks and
judges of election. Feeling between
the straighout democratic faction and
that favorable to FL ION between repub-
leans and democrats in the county is
bitter. and the former, charging that
the judges to be appointed were those
selected by the republicans, appeared
in large uumberS at the place named

that the session be al open on, the

HAVEN'T CAUGHT CASTRO
Former Dictator Of Venezuela Not on
Suspected Steamer

PortAu-Prince, June Lett is Off
cially denied that Cipriano Castro,
ex-President of Venezuela, is on
board the steamer Consul Grostuck.
The Grostuck arrived here at 3 o.
clock yesterday afternoon, flying the
German flag She fred a salute,
and the officers of the vessel came
ashore and were received by Presi-
dent Simon.
The Consul Grostuck was purchas-
ed for the Haitian Government, and
the reports that Castro was on the
vessel and that she had become the
property of the ex-President gave the
Government officials much concern.
They took occasion soon after the ar
rival of the steamer to declare that
the reports that Castro was a pas
senger were without foundation. A
further explanation was made to ac-
count for the delay in the voyage, 1t
being stated that at the various ports
where the Grostuck touched the au-
thorities, at the instance of the Vene-
zuelan Consuls, who were on the
lookout for Castro, had acted rigor-
ously with respect to the steamers
papers and those on board.
