Yama Okusakl, a Japanese laborer, lost his overcoat ami $27 nt Thirty-sixth and Q streets List night nt 9 o'clock when his Jlu Jltsu failed to work on two unidenti fied, stickup men. Okasakl, who was, on his way home to the Japanese colony, which lies in Ihe outskirts of town, was stopped by the two men near the corner of Thirty sixth and y streets. Without further ado they set upon him and took his money, nkasaki tried the tactics of his national defense, but was overpowered by the men. After having obtnlned the money the men considered a moment and then appropriated the overcoat of the shiver inn okasakl. who reported the matter to Officer Cliurles Morton. One of the thugs is said to be much shorter than the other. Protects City's Coal. Jimmie Mclnany, custodian and night fireman at tho city hall, shortly after going on duty yesterday evening found two men loading coal into a wagon that was backed up against the side of the city hall coal cellar at Twenty-fourth and O streets. . The men tried to explain to the Irate custodian that they had been sent by a certain officlul, who wanted the coal for hia "office." Mclnany drove the two negroes away and threatened to have them arrested it ever they came within Fhoutlng distance of the hall again. It la said that tho men had paid a previous visit to the cellar some time ago. Mclnany, who believes that taking what belongs to others la stealing, will not per mit so much as a look at tho key that locks the cellar and the engine room at the hall. Roberta. Mill Wants Jaunt. According to several members of the city council, City Engineer George Rob ins has not given up hope of making the city furnish money for a trip to an engineers' convention to be held in New in leans next week. The council definitely refused to supply the money last Monday, but it Is said the city engineer Insists on having them re verse their former stand. Said Councilman Miller last night: "My determination was final and I believe the rest of the council feel the same way. , The'clty Is not now in a position to grant money for such a trip when we are forced to take money from the different funds to pav damages in grading district No. 106." A report had come to the ears of some of the council that Miller and another member would agree to the expenditure. "Any use of my name In such a statement Is unwarranted and untrue," said Council man Miller last night. "I will not, agree to spend the city's money lhat way. Another councilman said that he and his associates were bent upon keeping their pledge of retrenchment and would not allow the money.

Zero Temperature, Long Sustained, Too Coid for the Iceman Even the ice men are kicking on the cold . weather. They prayed all fall for cold weather early In the winter, that they might have the opportunity to har vest a full crop and now they wouia uae to see the mercury go up about twenty or twenty-five degrees. The secret of their desire Is that Ice twelve to fourteen inches Is moro profit able to handle than any other thickness and the Ice has now reached a depth of fourteen Inches and Is getting thicker every hour. Another reason la .that it Is very difficult to keep a full force of men at work, due to the suffering of the men from the extreme cold. Many men start work Inadequately clothed, work a few iiours and quit. Swift and Company, the Omaha Ice and Cold Storage company and some smaller concerns have between luu am 500 men at work on the harvest at Carter lake. The Cudahy Packing company has a large force at work on Seymour lake at Ralston and Armour i!c Co. are harvest mg ul Memphis. The Carter lake companies fear that two crops of Ice will be necessary" to fill their houses, owing to the low water and the consequent limited cutting area.

Republican Party's Attitude to Trusts Scored by Perkins NEW YORK. Jan. 7. All attack on the republican party for lis alleged failure to carry out the first plank of its own trust platform and for carrying out In stead, he claimed, the democratic trust plank "which the Amoricur people re pudiated." was a feature of an address by George W. Perkins, director of the Cnlted States Steel corporation and other big interests, at a luncheon of the Re publican club yesterday. Referring to the Sherman law and the attitude of the two parties toward the trust question as expressed In their 190s platforms, Mr. Peiklns snld: "What did the legislative branch do to carry out Its belief on tho trust 'ques tions as explained to the people In Its party platform? It left the question Just where It has been- fifteen or , twenty years. Left tho supreme court with no choice but to interpret the law as it stood, and left the business of the country In un embarrassing situation. In the place of providing the suitable publicity and supervision for which the republican party pronounced and which the people of this country endorsed by a plurality of over 1.2.'j0.iKK) voles, nothing, absolutely nothing at all was done. We are now witnessing the spectaclo of the republican party not only fulling, to "carry out the first plank of Its own platform, but it actually Is vigorously currying out the trust plank of the democratic platform which it so strenuously attacked and which the American people repudiated." Mr. Perkins said the party which stood for constructive legislation would have the support of the people next fall. He branded It as a crime to use as a pawn In the next presidential election business problems affecting; tho vary life of the nation, which were held back for at least twelvo mouths "for tho profit and ad vantage of politicians."
