COAT LOOKED WARM
AND NICE; HE TOOK 1T

With the sudden change of the
weather Thomas Collins. 81 years old,
of ITO Golden street, thought he must
have additional clothing. He had a
penehant for a fur .overcoat. With the
picture of himself bundled in a nice
fuzzy coat, what more could a mar
want, he thought? Then he betook
himself to Canal street. He spied just
the thing hanging before the second
hand store of Joseph Cohen, at 80
Canal street.
1t did not take him very long to put
or the overcoat, and the store-keeper,
peeping from within, thought that he
would sure make a sale. He waited
for Collins to come in and ask the
price, but, alas, Collins did not do that.
Finding that it was just the size, Col
Inns started on a run, and a full Mara
thon race was gone over before Col
Inns was caught by Cohen. In court
today Collins did not deny taking the
coat. and Judge Hahn held him in 5000
bail for the grand jury. The coat was
valued at $50. Collins will nav no use
for the coat for a short time, so the
judge ordered it returned to it's owner.

doctor they were three very big men
and one of them had a derby. Neither
the superintendent nor the physician
nor the boy could describe the fea-
lures of any of the men, or tell what
the number of the automobile was.
Detectives Drabell AND Brown traced
the automobile by its wheel marks as
far as Henry and Centre streets.
The police of Essex and Union are
hunting for the man who ran Schultz
down.
He was last seen in tho saloon of
Charles Hosp. Forty-third street and
Springfield avenue, %Irvlngton, at 7:S0
O'Clock in The evening. He was per-
fectly sober and John Buehler, Hosp's
father-in-law. gave him five cents for
carfare home. Half an hour after he
left he was carried into the Orange
Memorial Hospital.
This led the police to believe that he
must have been struck on Springfield
venue between Forty-third and Valley
streets shortly after $50.
Victim Somewhat Feeble.
Schultz was a farmland. He was
somewhat feeble and decidedly hard of
hearing. He might easily have been

FOR SELLING ANCIENT
CAULIFLOWER, $50 FINE.

Samuel Brooks, a commission mer-
chant of Commerce street. was found
guilty by Judge Hahn in the First
Criminal Court today for selling a bar
rel of caulihower on October q that
was unfit for use to Court Gallagher, a
peddler. The case has been postponed
from time to time, and the judge de-
manded that it be brought to a close
today. Algernon T. Sweeney, counsel
for the defendant, declared after the
decision that he would appeal the case.
The testimony of Health Inspector
Samuel G. Sharwell tended to show
that he came across Gallagher with a
barrel of rotten c~aulifiower. When
asked where it had been purchased
Gallagher declared from Samuel
Brooks. The inspector drove with the
peddler to Brooks and told him that
a complaint would be made against
him. The barrel of cauliffewer was
confscated and taken to the city
dumps. A fine of $50 was imposed.

The high wind that played such

all night brought a furry of snow to-

Fair and colder is the prediction for

JAPAN WILL NOT OPPOSE
CHINESE REPUBLIC PLAN.

TOXIC. Dec. 2S.-That Japan does
not intend to proceed beyond the I'M
its of friendly advice in the Chinese
conflict, and in no case Will b inter
ven to prevent a republic, is the belief
expressed in well-informed political cir
cles here.
Several newspapers assert. however,
that this decision was reached only af-
ter heated conferences between the
civil and military elements of the cab
met and the elder statesmen, Great
Britain having declined TO consider the
intervention plan proposed by her ORR
entail ally.
According to statements in the Asahi
and the Kokumin this morning. a spe-
cial meeting of the cabinet was held
last Sunday TO decide on Japan's atti-
tude toward China. The ministers.
those newspapers assert, were greatly
concerned by reports from Peking that
both Yuan Shih-kai, the premier, and
Tang Shao-yi, his representative at the
Shanghai peace conference, were Civ
ing only lukewarm support to the
dynasty. and We're inclined to favor
the establishment of a republic.
The newspapers added that both the
minister and the elder statesmen de-
sire to see the monarchy upheld. fear
ing that the overthrow of the dynasty
would have an effect on the minds of
the japanese people prejudicial to the
imperial regime. and for that reason
they regarded it as unlikely that Japan
would recognize a Chinese republic.

FINE FIREMAN

Punished for Speaking to Conn
missioner Stratton Regard
ing Suspension.

A trial, so named by the Fire Board,
yesterday, and resulted in a verdict of
guilty against Fireman Frank Krebs.
of Engine Company No. 3, charged
with INSTRUMENTATION by Commissioner
Matthias Stratton. Krebs was fined
five days pay, in addition TO losing the
time from the date of his suspension,
December II. He lost $3.50 in salary,
and will be transferred to Truck No. g..
Commissioner Stratton charged
Krebs with INSTRUMENTATION for saying.

YOU At the meeting of the board
two weeks ago Krebs was charged by
Fireman Quinn with conduct unbecom-
ing a gentleman. A story was behind
the charge, and the hoard decided to
make an investigation. The following
week the Stratton charge was made.
Yesterday the Stratton charge was dis
posed of and the first charge left UNI

clared that it was for the criminal
courts to decide this, According to
Commissioner Stratton his charge is
only supplementary to the first charge
and really part of it.
Commissioner Stratton, in the course
of investigation of the charges against
Krebs, met the latter and when Krebs
greeted him Stratton said:
Don't talk to me. If had my way
you would be suspended" 1t was then
that Krebs made his Infamous reply.
Commissioner Stratton declared yes-
terday that Krebs said it in a nasty"
way. AT the trial Krebs tried to ex-
plain his position, but Commissioners
Weber and Burke interrupted him re-
peatedly.
In vain did Krebs plead to be heard.
and in vain did he say he was inno-
cent of all charges, and that he was
lever disrespectful to his superiors or
interiors.
During one of the attempts Krebs
made at being heard, Commissioner
Stratton arose and said:
Il wish this mar put under oath be-
cause he is lying
Krehs asked that both he and his
accuser be put under oath. Commits
siners Weber, Burke and Lagay went
into executive session after the trial
and found Krebs guilty.
Not II of the commissioners would
give the reporters any satisfaction
when asked what would become of the
first charge against Krebs.
Since the result of the examination
of the battalion chiefs became known
Mr.. Weber has repeatedly insisted that
the fire board is being treated unfairly
and that other people We're getting the
credit" due to the board.
