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

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

magnetism and around the federal

admits they "just can't help" but like
him, despite the things ht admits hav
ing done.
"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.
