Will Decide if Wax
Is Long-Sought Oliver
Osborne Wanted in Suit

New York, Dec. 5.-When Charles
H. Wax arrives late this afternoon
from Chicago he will confront a num-
ber of persons who will decide
whether he really is the long-sought
"Oliver Osborne" wanted here to clear
up a $250,000 breach of promise suit
against James w. Osborne, a promi-
nent attorney. James w. Osborne de-
clares that Rae Tanner, who brings
the suit thought she was being courted
by him when in reality she was re-
ceiving attentions from Wax, and
Wax's confession to the Federal au-
thorities supports this contention.
According to United States District
Attorney Marshall, the government
will make an Immediate investigation
to prove the truth or falsity of every
statement Wax has made. When
shown photograph of the self-con-
fessed OLIVER" Rose Tanner, a sister
of Rae Tanner, said the picture was
not the "Oliver Osborne" she knew.
If Wax is accepted as the original
"Oliver" he will be used as a witness
in the criminal cases growing out of
the breach of promise action brought
by Miss Tanzer Mr.. Marshall said
that the prisoner will be looked over
also by women who accuse him of
swindling them

tricting Among Questions
to Come Up

Council will meet tonight at 8

the proposed jitney regulations. For
an hour this morning the councilmen
discussed with Hugh L. Mclaughlin,
e. c. Hicks and f.. c. Hawthorne,
committee of the Harrisburg's Jit-
neurs' Indemnity Association, the sug-
gestions offered by the jitneymen for
the proper regulation of the cars.

ton of districting the city, crowding
of cars, parking privileges on the
Square or in congested districts and
other points that might crop up under
crowded traffic conditions. .s
Under the circumstances the jit-
neurs can't operate until the rules
are promulgated and councilmen ex-
pressed a desire to-day to have the
regulations shaped up as early as pos
sible in order to help handle the traf-
fic during the Christmas holidays.

Great Ovation

Washington, Dec. 5. - When Presi-

deliver his annual address the Demo
Gratis and many Republicans united
in a great demonstration to felicitate
the President upon his reelection
William Jennings Bryan and most
of the cabinet, occupying reserved
places on the floor, led in the demon
stration which was prolonged and
noisy. In the galleries Mrs. Wilson

galleries representatives of many OF
the embassies and legations were in
terested spectators.
Galleries were packed when the
President, escorted by the usual COM
nlttee' walked briskly into the cham
per and took his place at the clerk
desk, manuscript in hand. He was
forced to wait while the demonstra-
ton went on. Everybody rose while
the Democrats and some of the Re-
publicans Joined in cheers and ap-
plause.
Wave after wave of shouts swept
the chamber until Speaker Clark
pounded for order.
The President smiled and bowed
and as the demonstration subsidized
began the reading of his address.
Refers First to Railroads
AS he began reading q huge yellow
panner bearing in big black letters
the words, "Mr President, what will
you do for woman suffrage7" was un-
furled over the edge of the gallery by
some suffrage invaders.
A page quickly jumped up and pull

from which the banner dropped and
stood near the suffragists. He made
no attempt to reach them.
About simultaneous with the un-
furling of the banners, a long state
ment regarding the incident was given
out by the Congressional Union. II
said that officials of the union de-
cided upon that method of calling the
Presidents attention to suffrage be-
cause they understood he had omitted
reference to the issue in his address
The banner was smuggled into the gal
lery in handbag. Mrs. Abbey Scott
Baker, of the Congressional Union, ex.
planned the incident as expressive OF
the indignation that women feel al
the stupid and senseless opposition to
granting the right of self-government
to one-half the people of the United

CLOSING ON ALL SIDES
Another German Army Moving
on Rumanian Line of
Retreat

The fate of Bucharest apparently Is
sealed. The Teutonic advance toward

successful. This announcement Is

as another point in the direction of
which the invading armies are moving
without effective opposition. Ploesci
is on the line of the only railroad route
of retreat for the Rumanians operating
in the vicinity of Bucharest.
Means Evacuation
The threat to Ploesci seemingly
means the speedy evacuation of Bucha-
rest If the Rumanians hope to make
an effective retreat over the railroad
line toward Moldavia. On the south
of the capital Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen's Danube army was reported
yesterday within twelve miles of the
city. The Rumanian first army oppos-
ing the Teutonic advance from the
west is declared by Berlin to have been
decisively defeated on the Argechu.
From the northwest the Austro-Ger-
man armies pushing from the noun
tain passes are aiding materially in
the effort to complete the enveloping
process and break through to the
Rumanian line of retreat.
Serbs Follow Up Victory
On the Macedonian front the Ser
bans are following up their victory in
the Grunishte region and have cap
tured the village of Stravina, three
miles north of Grunishte, according
to Serbian official statement The
Bulgarians are reported retreating
northward, apparently having evacu-
ated and set on fire the village of
Zovik, two miles northwest of Stravina.

MILK THEFTS ON
HILL FORCE DAY
TIME DELIVERIES
Dealers Complain in Vain to
Police Department About
Sneak Thievery
DAIRYMEN LOSE MONEY
Harvey A. Ritter and C. E.
Cooper Among Victims of
Police Inefficiency

All because of the inef1iciency of
the police department, no longer will
the folk on Allison Hill get nice, fresh
milk for the morning oatmeal.
Milkmen throughout the district are
planning to make their deliveries in
the afternoon instead of the small
hours of the morning because of the
continued theft of milk.
The matter has been called to the
attention of the police department
repeatedly, but the thefts continue
and number of dealers have an
nounced iiced they will begin afternoon de-
llveries at once.
The initiative was taken by Harvey
A. Ritter. He started to-day to serve
MS customers in the afternoon instead
OF during the early morning hours
Mr.. Ritter said:
1T is the only thing to do. On
sunday ] lost five quart bottles and
seven pints. have been q heavy
loser during the past month. The
milk bottles are stolen soon after they
are delivered, and we must stand the
loss. AT least until the winter season
is over and the days are longer it will
be safer to make afternoon deliveries
when the people are around" The
police do not seem to be making any
effort to locate the thieves"
{. e.. Cooper, '901 South Twentieth
street, lost five gallons of milk last
Sunday and he, too, will arrange for
AFTERNOON deliveries. This plan is inn
possible with some dealers for the
present, because the milk comes to
them from the farms late in the even
ing, or early the next morning. How
ever, according to Mr.. Ritter, indica-
tions are that the majority will be
making afternoon deliveries unless the
thefts cease.
