KEECH'S PLAN
APPR0VEDBY
HACKERS
Operators Say SIashing
Number Of fVehicIes
Would Be Benefit

TaXicab operators in Washing
ton today greeted the proposal of
the Public Utilities Commission to
cut in half the number of cabs
on the streets Of the city with
virtually unanimous approval.
The commissions proposal came
in an announcement from it's vice
chairman, Richmond Keech, who
said that the commission would
recommend to Congress during
the coming session that legislation
be enacted to effect gradual re-
duction of the number of cabs in
the city from the present 1000 to
1000.
It is the commissions plan to
refuse to issue any new licenses
to cab drivers.
Cut Beneficial
"As cab drivers dropped out of
the business for some reason or
other" Mr.. Keech said, 1--WE would
not license any new cabs until the
number had been reduced to
1000. I believe the reduction
would be beneficial to the public
as we'll as to the cab drivers"
While the cab company heads
today generally expressed hearty
approval of the idea of reducing
the number of cabs on the streets
here, they are not sure that the
minimum figure should be 1000.
Most of them seemed to think
that 2,500 would be a better
minimum number.
However, they feel that this
issue can be settled amicably,
some pointing out that "it will
be quite a while before the re"
duction would reach the $500 or
1000 level
Cabmen Pleased
It was generally suggested by
the company heads that the pro-
posed reduction. if made ef'
fective, would benefit the drivers,
since they would make more
money, and the companies, as
they could then rest virtually
assured that no other cab COM
panies would be allowed to come
in to give them competition.
Company officials also pointed
out that such a reduction would
prove beneficial from a traffic
standpoint.
In his announcement, Mr..
Keech expressed the conviction
that the Commission proposal
would not result in a monopoly OF
the taxicab business here nor a
breakdown of the present zone
system. He pointed out that
through a recent decision in Dis
trict Supreme Court the Public
Utilities Commission has been
given ample authority to control
zone rates which the Commission
has established.

TURKEY PRICES
DEPEND UPON
WEATHER
If It's Cold Up Goes
the Figure; Dealers
Refuse to Guess

From all appearances, it's just
as easy to predict the price of
Thanksgiving turkeys today as it
is to forecast whether it's going
to rain, snow or be sunShiny on
the day we give thanks.
No poultry dealer in Washing
ton was willing today to hazard a
guess as to what it's going to cost
to put your gobbler on the table
on Thanksgiving Day-that is, OF
course, minus the trimmings.
Even now the price varies. 1t
goes from 35 cents up to 40
cents a pound and more. What
it's going to be for Thanksgiv-
ing? That all depends on
this and that and the other
thing. 1t may be from 33 to
As cents per gobbler pound.
If it's warm, the price will go
down and if it's cold, the price
will go up. If this, and if that,
and lot of other ifs, out of which
comes the general understanding
that there can be no definite un-
derstanding on Mr.. Gobbler's
price.
One Of the poultry dealers was
so bold, however, as to predict
that the Thanksgiving turkeys
would be much larger this year
than usual.
At one place, the price Of extra
fancy home dressed" turkeys is
now 40 cents and going up every
day. At another, the price is IS
cents, with the prediction that the
Thanksgiving price will be some
where between 80 and 38 cents for
each pound-what'll. you have,
white or black meat?
Anyway, therell be turkey and
cranberry sauce and mince pie

D. E. EXPLORER
OFF ON TOUR
OF TROPICS
Bicycle and Pack Mule
To Be Employed on
= 4OO-MiLe Trip


Men of old who pushed into
the unknown wilds of America
could not have set forth with
more enthusiasm and determine
ton than Henry G. Slaughter, 28-
year-old Washington naturalist
and explorer, who will conduct
one-man journalistic and natural.
history specimen collecting expe.
dition and at the same time ex-
plore the proposed part of the
Inter-American Highway through
Mexico and Central America to
Panama.
Young Slaughter left Washing
ton today for San Antonio, Tex,
where with bicycle and later
pack mule he will begin his
journey.
Aims at Records
He aims to make two records
on his trip and also collect ma.
terial for a book. He will be the
first man ever to make a com.
plete journey entirely by land
from the American border through
Mexico and Central America, and
he will be the first man to drive
wheels Of modern transporta-
tion all the way over that part
of the proposed Inter-American
Highway as outlined by the
United States Bureau of Public
Roads, which when completed
will connect Alaska with South
America.
"The American people," he ex.
planned, tknow SO little about this
TIAter-American Highway. which
is now shaping up to where It
will be one of the greatest achieve.
ments Of mankind, and, I believe,
of more Importance than the
Panama Canal"
Slaughter will cover about 3,400
miles on his journey, and approx
mately $500 miles of it will be on
bad road, part Of which can be
travelled in all weather and part
only in the dry season. About 600
miles are jungle trails.
Take Six Months
His trails will take him through
untold beauty, swift rivers, high
mountains and swamps. He be-
lieves his trip will require approx
mately six months.
Equipped for the tropics in a
manner capable of sustaining him
in emergency with food and shelter
from four to six weeks, the youth
full explorer will carry as part of
his equipment, in addition to his
bicycle-which he used on an eX.
ploration last year of the Florida
Everglades-a tent and hammock,
two revolvers and one rifle, new
type ak and knife combination;
new-type machete for cutting un.
derbrush and clearing trail; first
aid equipment and snake anti
toxin, cooking utensils, emergency
water and other supplies.
will Keep Daily Log
He will keep an accurate
daily log, and will photograph
things of particular interest, such
as native tribes, habitations, and
topography in general.
For the Smithsonian Institu-
tion he will collect specimens
and observations of small snakes,
frogs and mammals, preserve
them and ship them to Washing
ton.
The Inter-American Highway
Expedition Association, Inc, is
backing the young man finan-
cially. Slaughter hopes to finish
his journey in time to attend
the official opening of the first
completed stretch of 800 miles
of the highway from Laredo on
the Rio Grande to Mexico City,
which will be formally dedicated
by Secretary Cordell Hull in
June, 1885.
