 The exact cause of the disaster, 1t was said, was a break in the stays supporting the left propeller shaft causing the shaft to tear a hole in the hull.
 The ship carried more than suf ficient life preservers, the report said. but there were no printed in- instructions to passengers regarding their use.

POLICE WARNED
AGAINST GAMBLING
Capt. Stott Tells Men to Stay
Away From Establishments
After Complaints.

What he termed ga friendly warn
ing to his men to shun gambling es-
tablishnents was issued yesterday
afternoon at o'clock roll call by Capt
william G. Stott of the third precinct
Capt. Stott said:
Il am informed that some policemen
visit gambling places. If you do, let
your conscience be your guide for you
may find me there"
Capt. Stott declared today he has re-
ceived complaint from a resident OF
his precinct that one or two policemen
have visited resorts where games OF
chance were under way. He does not
know whether the report is true, he
said, or what was the mission of the
officers if they did enter the places.
He explained that by telling his men
they might find him there, he meant
he might follow them.
More than 200 places of vice in his
precinct have been raided in the past
nine months, Capt. Stott asserted.
Two men were arrested and charged
with bookmaking yesterday afternoon
by sixth precinct police when they
raided 219 Seventh street. In the cigar
store there the raiders found a crowd
of men watching the results of the
races being chalked up on a black
board.
The men arrested gave their names
70 police as Earl He'll, 90 years old, of
the 900 block of Harvard street, and
Alex Weinstein, 38 years old, of the
1900 block of North Capitol street.
Hell and Weinstein were released on
$4,000 bond each to await the trial of
their cases.
