CABMEN FLEECE VISITORS
OFFICERS OF THE HOHENZOLLERN AB-
STAIN FROM VISITING THE CITY.
THE MAYORS MARSHAL PROMISES TO
TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO
REMEDY THE ABUSE

Despite the silence maintained 10y the officers
Of the Hohenzonern and general unwillingness
10 discuss the matter on the part of all con
cerned il WAS learned yesterday that the officers
Of the HohenzCllern had been made the victims
az eXorbitant and outrageous overcharging on
the part Of the cabmen of this city Fares
averaging 81 are charged for carrying officers
from the theatre district the ferry, and so
unreasonable have these charges become that
the officers of the Kaiser's yacht have abstained
from coming over TO this city rather than bear
the persistent bleeding which strangers
and guests they DO not feel like protesting
against publicly
one Of the German officers who seen by
a Tribune reporter yesterday reluctantly con-
sented to explain the matter.
You see, We don't want TO make any COM
plant" he said. as our treatment has in every
other respect been 50 satisfactory. so kind But
when go over to Neyv-York have only a
limited amount of time spend. We have just
so many hours off and we have to go on
duty the next morning We must get back to the
ship. The result is that can't walk because
the distances are too great. If we take the
tramcars the conductor courteously promises to
put us off. but he forgets. 1t is especially
hard when we come out of the theatre and
in hurry to get back to the ferry. Then the
cabmen make us pay anywhere from 50 to
$40. The result is that do not go over to
New-York as much would otherwise do.
OF course, we do not want to complain about it.
And we don't care to get into any dispute with
the driver"

II Is matter of considerable Importance. and
L am grateful TO The Tribune for bringing it
my attention. ! will take immediate action in
the case. First I will send copies of the legal
cab tariff rates to the commander Of the
Hohenzollern. will also send him my card and
place myself wholly at his disposal in this re

'cabbies' find that are TO their little game
they will take the hint. If any cabmen come
down here in regard to this. why, heaven help
Them! that's all l have say"
James b. Reynolds, the Mayors secretary
told a Tribune reporter Yesterday that arrange

pected that the HOhenZollern would come di-
