Abraham Ruef, convicted of offering a bribe to Former Supervisor John J. Furey, was not sentenced by Judge Lawlor today. There was a large crowd in the court room but there was disappointment in store, as counsel for the defendant asked ana secured a postponement of sentence for a week. Ruof hnwr. was arraigned a sec ond time and stood before the bar of justice while Judge Lawlor set forth the crime for which he had been In dicted, tried and convicted. Throughout the ordeal the former political leader stood calmly chewing gum, and even smiled at the newspaper representa tives. Ruef jested about the conveyance. saying It was a cushioned bus and not a "Black Maria," . the name given to the van used by the sheriff In trans porting prisoners to and from court. "The prosecution Is using so much of the city's money In paying the salaries of Burns and his special agents that the sheriff can't get enough to paint the carriage. If I find time I'll paint It myself. A coat or red paint irom North Beach would enhanca its beauty," said Ruef with a laugh, as Judge Law lor described his trial and conviction. Shortly after 10 o'clock Judge Lawlor called the case of the people against Abraham Kuef. juflge iawior earn: "This Is the time for the pronounc ing of the judgment of the law and the sentence ol tne couri. nav you any legal cause to show why judgment should not now be pronounced against you on the verdictr' "We desire to show that we have cause," said Attorney uoxier, -dxu at present we are not prepared to make the motions or showing which we think the evidence' and exceptions In the oase fullr disclose.

Both women were seriously slashed by the frenzied man before the girl dis armed him. Bankenbrink was arrested. He arose early, aroused his wife and ordered her to, prepare coffee for him at once. "Walt a moment until I dress," re plied Mrs. Bankenbrink. . "No, I won't wait," said her husband. "I'll have my Coffee now or I'll klli you. He rushed to the" kitchen, seized a butcher knife and ran back to the bed room. The girl, who had been aroused by the commotion, sprang upon her father and after a sharp struggle. In which both she and her mother were slashed on the arms and hands, she succeeded In getting the weapon from him. Bankenbrink then took a revolver from a bureau drawer, but before he had a chance to use it the girl wrenched it from his hand. She kept her father under restraint until the police arrived.

POSTMASTER RECEIVES MANY LETTERS FOR SANTA CLAUS Letters addressed to Santa Claus have already begun to arrive at the Portland postoffice. The home address of Santa is "given as tho "North Pole," Reindeer Island," and various other places bear ing names which appeal to the little ones in their romantic minds filled with the enthusiasm of Christmas. But In spite of the various places to which Santa's mall Is addressed all the letters that ro through the Portland postoffice are turned over to Pastmaster Mlnto. A few days before cnristmas, these letters in which the little writer gives his address are turned over to mem bers of the different charitable organ izations. An investigation of each case Is made and if It Is found that the chil dren are really deserving and tkat their parents are reany tinanie to proviao for them properly at Christmas time something is usually done to make them happy at the one time In the year that everyone looks forward to the receiving and giving of something to make others happy. Of course many of these Santa Claus letters are written by the little chil dren of the rich. It is not likely that the charitable organization members will do anything for them because well. Just because. Some of the letters addressed to Santa and which are now In the hands of Mr. Minto have not been stamped. There is one with a spe cial delivery aboard. This youngster was evidently in a hurry. . Here's what one little chap wrote Santa: "Deur old Santa Claus I have heard so much about you. I have never seen you but your pictures look very cute. I want to see you, oh, so much. Last year 1 wrote you a lottle note asking for a drum and sticks and tin soldiers and a fire engine. And, oh yes, there was a baby elephant I asked for too, I think. 1 asked for so much last year that this year you can bring me any thing you happen to have left over. Per haps I asked for too many things last Christmas. I looked for you all night and for days after Christmas. But you never came. So I didn't get a thing. Mamma said this year everything would be all right. If you don t come this year, Santa, I will think you ain't, sure." One of the writers Is evidently an optimist. He certainly has hopes. The boy is evidently the son of a railroad man. Here's what he says: "Santa Claus, Dear I is seven years old, I Is. I know I am going to get much for Christmas. I have been awful good all" year. Daddy went east two months ago. He likes you. Ho went over the Santa Fe. Daddy says the Stanta Fe is named after Santa Claus. But I think the Mr. Claus the Santa Fe was named for was your great grand father or Something. Anyway, I don't think it was you. You have whiskers, but you ain't very old. I can tell by your teeth. I saw them in a picture. With lots of love and many hopes, yours, BILLY. In nearly every letter written by a boy a gun or a fire engine, a railroad train or something of that sort is men tioned. But when the girls write Santa Claus the strain of the letter is entirely different. They all want dolls that wink and, talk and bibs and other little art icles of finery. One little miss says: "Dear, dear old Santi Please bring me a soolng; machine. I want to make mine own clothes. Also a thimble if . you think about it. Needles and thread, too, and a botkin. And don't forget the soolng machine." Many of these notes are In home made envelopes and were evidently mailed without the knowledge of the Earents. Instead of sending all the anta Claus letters to the dead letter office as has been the custom of the department for many years,- an order was made last year allowing the post master in each city to take charge ef the letters and to turn them over to the charitable inclined persona at th end of the holidays.
