According to figures advanced today, the site measures 200 feet on WebBter and With the fuel situation In" California becoming graver day by day with the continuance of storm conditions in the Rocky Mountain district, Oakland continues to occupy the enviable position of the best-supplied city In the state. Despatches from southern California and points In the Interior tell of complete exhaustion of supplies of coal, while Oakland dealers have enough on hand to last for three or four weeks by which time the strain will doubtless be relieved.

The essence of the decision Is to the effect that -where a cafe is frequented, with the knowledge- and consent of the proprietors, by. women of the underworld, whose express purpose is to Child Restored After a Long; Chase I Six "hionths of heartbreaking anxiety ended yesterday for Mrs. Anna 8eneldP of this city, widow of a young German lieutenant killed in Belgium at the beginning of the war, whin she took in her arms again the baby for whom the police have been scouring the country ainee last June.

The advance occurred within twenty-four hours, yesterday' sales' finding onions selling for 814 to 8 cents a pound wholesale.

There Is no ground for alarm In Oakland, for we have coal enough to tide over the period of shortage. Oakland owes Its fortuna'te condition to the fact that the dealers store large quantities of coal during the- summer season, when the bulk of the output from the Utah mines comes to California. C. Frederirkson, a dealer of Fruit-vale, declares that there is at least a three weeks' supply on hand In Oakland. were selling for prices ranging between the 8 and 4 cent margins.

Reasons given for the advance con centrate in the one theory that eastern buyers have again Invaded the coast market, taking with them the surplus of Oregon onions. California onions were cornered last fall. According to Induce men to leave the building with them for Immoral purposes, such a cafe or restaurant comes clearly within the act whlch-ls designed to eliminate commercial vice. JUIKJE SETS PRECEDENT. Says Jud.ge McKenzie In a part of his decision: Three or- four women visitors to this place were constant attendants.

They-danced and drank with all comers of the male sex, whether known or unknown. In the dance hall these women were in the constant habit of asking the male Visitors to the place, known or to acoom-. pany thern to other buildings in the 'vicinity. From these facta It may be fairly concluded that the, premises In questions was a ren- dezvous used for immoral, purposes. While the court does not consider that the cafe was used for immoral acts, he holds that the place was a meeting place.

The place, he finds, was conducted in a notorious manner for the purpose of allowing women little relief may be expected. tie regards the outlook as hopeful. POISON CLAtM. FOUGHT. Deputy District Attorney Theodore APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT.

Through CaptaldiFrank M. Ben of Broadway and bounded by Tenth and Fourteenth streets, it Is thought that the postofflce selection rather than that of the terminal will obtain the support of the city's influential men and clubs. Plans for the improvement of the Southern Pacific terminal site, the Produce Exchange site and the highway at First avenue and East Twelfth street will probably receive the hearty favor of downtown-associations.

It is understood, that the Downtown Association, at" the 'request of the East 'a Oakland United 'improvement Clubs, and with their co-operation, will advocate Immediate improvement' of the street at the First avenue and East Twelfth street corner. Widening the street at this point to allow further play of traffic, together with future widening of Twelfth street, at the point adjacent to the dam there, are among the recommendations to be made, according to reports. LUNCHEON IS HELD. At a luncheon given yesterday In honor of Charles Jurgens, president of the Hotel Oakland Company, and himself a holder of much local real estate, the project waa given hearty, though unofficial, commendation by leading businessmen present.

Coal dealers here are absolutely without coal and what little does arrive is distributed as rapidly as it can be unloaded front the cars.
