f promises of relief from the burden
of advanced freight rales to and
from California termlnuls have been
received from the to railroad presi
dents who were recently memorial
ized by tho executive committee of
tho recent convention of California
business men.
B II Ilurrlmun of tho Southorn

tho tralllc managers of tho two roaJj
would bo held In tho near future
and 'Hrustod that a satisfactory
conclusion would bo roochod."
K P. Itlploy of tho Santa Fo wuh
more explicit. Ho said that his rep
resentatives would be qulto willing
to listen to arguments against the
advance in rotOH, but ho warned the
shippers that In the ousu of trans
continental tariffs, applying to nnd

(United Prov Lesed Wire.)
Bnn Francisco, Doc. 12. At tho
roquest of tho dofonso Judgo Lawler
today postponed until next Saturday
tho sentencing of Abo Huof for offer
ing a bribe. Tho counsel for Huof
said thoy woro preparing u number
of motions they wished to offer. The
prosecution agreed to tho postpone
ment. Attorney Thomas ll. Doxlor repre
sented Huof In tho courtroom today,
Henry Ach still being absent. Doxlor
explained that tho dofonso desired to
Interpose motions boforo Judgment
wns passed on Huof, nnd ho said In
an interview after court ndjournod,
thnt ho expected to use tho record In
too enso, whltju ho considers, "well
clogged with errors."
Huof, before his attorney was al
lowed to address the oourt, was, or
dored by Judge Lawler to stand up
and hear the formal rending of tho
history of the urocodlng In his trial.
The convicted man stood with his
hands brushing his poukets lotting
his gazo wander around tho court
room, winking at his friends and
stealthily whispering to his lawyers.
Ah has been his nislout throughout
tho trial, he chewed gum Inoessantly
At tho conclusion of tho morn
Ing's proceedings. Huef denied tho
published story that Henry Ach
would retlro from his case through
any misunderstanding with him.
"Ach has boon a faithful friend to
me," said Huef. "Ho has taken up
my defense at great personal sacrl
fleo. It bus taken practically nil his
time, and It has monnt an enormous
drain on his strength. Ho has lost
thousands of 'dollars through his In
ability to keep up his private proc
nco.
"It con bo sofoly stated thnt, un
less his present sickness foraos him
to chntiKo his plans, ho will see mo
through this case from its beginning
to tho vory end."
Huef claim to be Indignant over
tho aliened effect on tho Jury of tho
visit to tho courtroom of Francis J.
Honey lost Thursday may have had.
Ho suys that the room, in which tho
Jury deliberated, was In tho front
part of Carpenter's hall, where tho
sounds of oheurlug In the stroot
could bo plainly heard. Ho says ono
Juror suw n wagon advertising n
meeting of the Loukuo of Justlao at
Lyric hall, and ho iiIIokcs theso cir
cumstances all might have hiyl tho
effect of Intimidating the men who
voted on his fate.
