are Observation-Disclosures finding 1t out
and taking advantage Of II.
There are 1000 taxicabs in New
York. Conservative estimates, based
on careful inquiry among their GUS
toners. indicate that each driver car
ries at least one passenger a day who
thinks. rightly or wrongly. that he
has been %"stung." That makes 1000
arguments a day.
Until recently the matter seldom
went any further, but lately it has
become quite the proper thing TO send
the kick along to Mr.. Drennen. II IL
IL not justified no harm is done. II
1t is justified-well. the chief inspector
can enforce a refund. suspend the
driver, impose q fnc or revoke the
mans license.
He always does the first and some
times does two or three OF those
things. He Is the Sultan of Taxidom:
what he SAYS goes and of late he has
been one OF the busiest po~tentates in
a busy world.
Among others the cluhmen OF New
York are taking Il hand in the new
game called Watch the clock The
inspiration came rainy afternoon
OF early autumn at the cocktail hour
in a Fifth avenue club which shall
be nameless.
II rode from here up to Seventy
sixth street last night in a taxi said
one member. who sometimes sees
himself called q "magnate" in the
newspapers. THE fare was so cents,
rode down this afternoon for Co
cents. Now Ia like to see the first
driver
That started a food Of taxicab stor-
les. 1t seemed TO be the universal ex-
per!ence that the same fare never was
charged twice for the same distance.
That went on and on until q guest
from New England broke in:
well. why do you stand for IT,
When you're o~vercharged why don't
you report the offender?
"IIl tell you why. It's because tho

concluded with an apologize chuck.s.
The shot went home. The New York;
ers had heard The charge before. but
his time they acted. They resolved,
half In jest at first. to keep tabs on
the taNlCabs. One or two of them got
to the point where they really wrote
letters 20 the Bureau of Licenses. They

delightedly.
The crusade gathered impetus, and
now it is well urder way. To-day the
taxi driver had better pick his mark
with uncommon discrimination or he
viii find himself in hot water.
Conditions have greatly improved.
Mr.. Drennen says. Whenever he gets
"A justified ccmp.aint-and usually the
kicks are justified. for the average
taNicab customer has a sense of fair
ness which prevents him from getting
a chauffeur into trouble unless he Is
ksure Of his G~round--he writes a letter
thanking the citizen for his coopera-
ton.
"We're trying TO clean this thing
up" is what he says in effect. "and
the only way We can do 1t is through
your help. We hope you will kick and
tell your friends to kick when they
are vict!mized."
Likewise he has a thick scraphook

yers, bankers. theatrical nag
Congressman, army and navy officers,
importers, clcrCymen and even from
a. few officials of other cities who have
fallen into the tolls OF the taxi bandits
during their visits to the Great White
Way.
Many a moving tale comes TO his
ears. Perhaps the bo,dest piece of
work a taXicab driver ever attempted
came off one rainy night a few weeks
ago. when the car strike was at its
climax.
One OF the prettiest actresses m
Broadway. whose nanc calls for heavy
black type on the posters nowadays
emerged from the stage door after her
performance with her maid and the
manager of the theatre. They hailed
a taxi and stepped into II. Then the
manager mentioned "A hotel a few
blocks away as their destination.
The driver flew into a rage. II was
a wet night. remember. The car strike

was on and the subway service wasn't
what il might have been. Taxis were
nj a premium. This particular driver
was looking for n long haul, about
SO worth, say. lie didn't want to leave
the ranks for a 40 cent trip and ne
said so. He ordered Miss Nc
lthe name almost slipped out), the
actress, that is TO say. out OF the cal.
when tho manager protested he re-
sponded with profanity.
That case was settled quickly
enough when Mr.. Drennen collected
the facts from witnesses. The mar
lost his license.
Thus ended the Adventure Of the
Actress in the Tax!cab. Consider now
the Incident Of the Rich Old Banker.
He was rich. al right. and coed ma
turcd and 80 old hat he was rather
feeble. His white haired wife was with
him. and his daughter also when he
came down l-oim an up State town on
tho Albany boat. He took a taxi to
the Prince George Hotel and he paid
the 81 the driver charged. but first he
took his number. Calculation by the
Bureau OF Licenses, when the COM
plant came up, showed he should have
paid but SEQ. and the driver was
forced to refund $3.50, also to pay a S.
fine.
The fne might have been omitted
but for the drivers OWL admission.

men asked him.

There's another playful little habit

That is for the driver. when his num-
