Former Supervisor John J. Furey, was
not sentenced by Judge Lawlor today.
There was a large crowd in the court

smiled at the newspaper representa

Ruef jested about the conveyance.

a "Black Maria," . the name given to
the van used by the sheriff In trans

"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

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.
