Special TO The Journal

New York. Oct. 14-In spite OF the
repeated warnings posted in state
rooms and elsewhere on the trans
Atlantic liners, passengers continue to
fall an easy prey to professional gam
blers who, 1t is estimated. clean up
100000 a season on their operations.

Of them q drubbing he will not soon

dies saloon and caused a stampede
among the occupants Of the room for
their staterooms. The gamblers had
trimmed another passenger for 5000,
half Of which he had given them in
cash and the other half in an I o. U.
On the evening before the ship
reached port, the sharpers demanded
that the passenger make good his I o.
U. While they were engaged in an
angry conversation with him, the other
passenger who had been swindled came
along and took a hand In the argu-
ment. The gamblers resented his in
reference, when, to their amazement,
he swung his arm around and landed a
singing blow on the Jaw OF one of
their number, followed by a second on
the bridge OF the nosa. which sent him
spelling in heap to the floor. The
women in the saloon set up howl and
for minute or two the ship was in an
uproar. The prone gambler picked
himself up as a crowd Of his victims
on the ship began to gather and with
his companion fed to the shelter of
his stateroom, without attempting to
put up a defense. The two men re-
manned IN their staterooms until the
ship got to her dock and were the first
to alight when the gangway was
thrown over.

second minute thereafter he touched off his
fireworks. Josiah Collins listened to the
raspings the senator from Spokane was adj
ministering to his opponents until he would
have bursted wide open if he had not had
spoken. In all his senatorial dignity he rose
and addressed the president of the senate
and among other things he said: The SEN
ator from Spokane takes advantage OF his
feebleness Dick was just out of a hospitaD
to abuse the other senators. Whereupon
the only Dick retorted: 81 understand that
the senator from Seattle was originally from
the south, where men settle their disputes
with guns instead of fists. [ too am from
the south and can pull trigger just as well
as l ever did, and if he likes we will walk
out and settle this with guns, and ii the laws
of Washington are against dueling we will
run over into Idaho and if the senator is
short of change I will loan him enough to
pay his fare" Now, at the game OF bluff
Collins is stiff player, but he cooled down
and never again crossed the pathway OF
Senator Hutchinson.
