BAKER Supply NEEDS COAL Is Low and Storm Famine, Dealers Say. Means Baker, Ore., Jan. 8. (Special) Milder weather, bordering on a Chi nook, helped relieve the coal shortage that is threatening the city, although dealers say that there is still real dan ger of the city having a famine unless conditions are bettered. Only a few tons of the fuel were to be had today, and these because of a carload being received from Wyoming this morning. All the dealers have cars of coal on the road from Wyom- j ing and Utah, but say they do not know when they will arrive, and that should a blizzard again tie up the I roads Baker will suffer. ! The city uses about 65 tons a day ! and there is not nearly a day's supply : in the bins of all dealers here com ' bined. Salem, Jan. 8.

S.m Francisco alone or. tha Pacific clinjr to the Barbary Cotsl. Pendlctor. Tribune. Slade & Slade, who also are under in dictment far perjury in connection with the case, still claim that it was James W. Osborne who smiled ac quaintance with Rne and wooed her to wed him. The three promise "big surprises" at the trial. Th6 handsome "Oliver" however, re mains the big attraction. His capti vating story of how he has given Cupid cards and spades and beaten him time after time in the game of love, has amazed and disgusted those who heard it; while at the same time his personality, his "way," has left everyone liking him in spite of what ho has done. Even the women he duped while he blazed a trail of broken hearts and pocketbooks across the land have nenrly always had a smile for the big fellow when they attended his private audiences to identify him. Theiv; wasn't even much ill feeling in the re mark of Ethel Brooks, whom "Oliver" married under the name of Maise Ma son Nye, when, in identifying. him she .said: "This is the specimen I mar ried." She, by the way, was the only one of the many women in "OlivorV career that he actually married. "Oliver's" real name is Charles II. Wax. He has been postively identified as the man who duped them, by many women in and around New York, lis seemed always to choose those who had several thousand dollars he could talk them out of. Wax is a big man, about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He weighs about 200 pounds. Ho is jovial und very pleas-1 ant to meet. His eyes are blue and j keen. His brown hair is thinned a lit- tie over his rather good forehead. His nose is straight and strong. His con- f stantly laughing lips reveal two rows of dazzling white teeth. There's a dimple in his chin that all the young women who have testified for the gov ernment at previous trials of the borne case described as one of the charms of their ".Oliver." Wax's carriage is youthful and jaunty. He exudej a real physical Pottery-Sale All Pottery, one-third off during this sale.

"Of course Wax is not the Oliver Oslxirne I knew and who accompanied me to the Hotel Kensington in Plain field," said Rae Tanzer today. "I have seen Wax' pictures. He is r.o more like Oliver than a lamp post. At my trial this will be shown without question. "Wait until my lawyer gets this cheap impostor on the stand. Wait un til he has to explain away a thousand and one things that support my asser tion that James W. Osborne is Oliver." Still, the self styled King of Hearts swears he is tiny Rae's Oliver, and thus matters stand until the trial.
