CUTTING DOWN NAVAL HELP.
Hasn't Funds to Pay the Men-Will
Cut Down Work

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Because of
a lack of funds with which to pay them,
employees of the navy yards over the
country will be dismissed in large num-
bers this fiscal year. Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt announced today that the
present combined force of $4,000 would
be cut to 10000 or $4,000 before next
July /.
Explaining that appropriations for
navy yards were made on a monthly
basis, he said some yards already had
exhausted their appropriations for this
month and consequently found it neces-
sary to suspend some of their forces
temporarily.
He said the reduction of forces would
work a hardship because the navy faced
a gigantic task in reconyerting a large
number of former merchant ships,
yachts and patrol vessels used during
the war.

FINGERPRINTs HURT TAXI MEN
Chauneurs Ask Mayor Hylan to
End License Requirements.

They are sensitive souls. the taxicab
drivers of New York, and they hate
to have their fngerprinis taken when
they apply for licenses to operate their
vehicles. The Independent Taxi Drivers
Association, representing 100 men who
own and drive their own cabs, filed a
protest yesterday with Mayor Hylan
against this practice.
The protest declares that the Commits
sioner of Licenses is not authorized by
any law to take their fingerprints and
that by SO doing he casts unpleasant
reflection upon their honesty and char
acter.. The petition OF the drivers asks
that the Mayor hold a public hearing
upon the question, at which all inter-
ested persons must be invited TO be
heard and that the taking of fingerprints
cease until after that time
