Gamblers We're On Titanic.

NEW YORK, April 28.-Figures IA
miliar to Forty.second street will be
missing in the cafes of the great white
way when the lights are brightest as
one of the results of the foundering OF
the Titanic. Pictures In the rogues'
gallery will be turned to the wall.
The police will strike from their. rec
ords the name of more than one man
"wanted." There went down with the
great White Star liner flock of buzz
yards of the sea, human vampires who
preyed on the passengers crossing the
Atlantic.
It is known that at least q score OF
these harpies were on board the lost
liner. Old time card and confidence
men had been waiting on the other side
for months to procure passage on the
big ship, anticipating the haul Of
their lives. It looked to them like az
orchard OF big plums. Their business
was to get on board and do the pick
ing. Some of these men had beer
following the sea" for years-theil
home was the sea. And now by ON
of the inscrutable tricks of fate thei1
burial Is the sea.
