Peel “PIRATE CABMEN AT WORK IN PARK Extortion In Its Worst Forms Daily and Hourly Practised in New York’s Great Pleasure Ground. ents $2.40 FOR 40 MINUTES’ RIDE. Persons Who Land from the Great Ocean Liners Forced to Pay Un- ~ lawful and Exorbitant Rates by the Greedy Jehus. Wxtortion is still the slogan of the Jehus who use Central Park as the Geld of thelr endeavors. If you want to take @ spin through the big play- ground on two wheels or four wheels you pay for it, not according to the rates fixed by law, but as the cabby’ ehooses to charge you, and that Is $2.40 for forty minutes! ‘ “Charge all the traffic will bear.’ It ts quite likely that the Cabmen's Association never heard of those words or they would have been adopted long aince as the official motto of the or- @anization. One violation of the municipal ordl- mances which cabbies persist in and to which the authorities are directing their @ttention, is their failure to keep posted in their vehicles the card of distances and rates provided by the Bureau of Licenses and intended to be a protection to passengers. They seem to go along on the theory wt the late lamented Barnum, that the public enjoys being deceived and that the card is better off in an inside pocket, out of sight of the inquisitive, but easy of production should some one in au- thority demand name and number of Ucense. Rob Passengers from Liners. There ls a particulanly rapacious set of Fehus to beware of, and they are the ones wao meet the incoming liners. The assumption is that every one com- ing here has money, and what is theirs 4@ the cabman’s by right of might ana the custom of their tribe. Passengers are always in a hurry to get to a hotel or to thelr homes, as the case may be, and they do not stop to ask what the coat will be. They walk into the open arms of the Philistines without @ quaver and they pay for it dearly, The other day two newspaper men— and there is none sharper in the whole of New York—were stung, and stung badly. They tell the story on themselves because it was too good to keep—news- paper men held up by a lone hack @river! Taey were driven from the Cunard pler to a point not far from the Post-Office and they had to give up 3 or the ride. With a margin for the abby the fare should not heave been more then $2. The cabby knew that they had no time to argue and they had to pay or lowe the man they were after. Soon afterward they came across two moro scribes on the same mission, and a com- 1g of notes showed that this pair been forced to disgorge %. How Mr, Conby Defeats Robbers, Assistant Corporation Counsel Arthur . Cosby, as well as he knows the lew, been robbed more than once, and as & result has become one of the’ wariest cab fighters in New York, His method, Ba descrived by himself, is as follows: “I jump into a cab and tell the man where I want to go, but as soon as he starts up his horse I stop him and ask bow much it is going to be. He may try to gouge me, but I tell him he wil @et the legal rate and no more. “I follow this plan because if I asked the fellow how much {t would be before tell me tiat he was engaged; would make more by waiting for his ‘fare,’ who was a regular patron, than he could afford to lose by taking ‘me at ‘the legal rate. "The law says that a cabman Is com- Patled’ to comply with your .demand to 9 driven where you say If you are or uate but how ai you going to prove ta man isn't engaged If he says he 1s? You haven't the time, in the first Piece, and you wouldn't take the trou- le, in the ‘next. The only way that I know to stand the rascals off Is to do what I have described. NEW YORK MENACED BY A WATER FAMINE. Comissioner’ Monroe Requests Con- sumers to Stop Wasting Supply TIll the Drought P 8. Now York is threatened with a water famine, and Col. Robert Grier Monroe, Commissioner of Water, Gas and Eleo- triclty, has sent a request to consumers that they use as little water aa pos- sible.

The effect has begun’ to show itself on the reserve, tne water steadily going down in the reservoirs. ‘The water officials have found thnt there is a waste of at least 32,000,000 gallons @ day in Manhattan —__- HAD TOO MANY KEYS.
