graft the principles of the initiative,

ment upon any political questions

tions must be by petition to the presi-
dent and must be signed by the ma

question prayed for.

or joint resolution for an amendment
to the constitution of the United States

voters of not less than fifteen states

of not less than fifteen of the states

ments to the constitution and per
cent of not less than fifteen of the

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-The disap-
pearance of former Supervisor James l..
Gallagher, one of the most important
witnesses for the state in the bribery
graft cases, and the inability of the pros
ecution to locate him, this morning
caused the postponement of the trial of
Patrick Calhoun, president of the United
Railroads. until January Z.
Mr. Calhoun desired to go to New York
and was given permission by the court
to leave, the state.
Judge Iawlor in making the order of
continuance, laid stress upon the "ab-
sence of an important witness for the
state, coupled with uncertainty of his
reappearance in this CITY," This has
given rise to rumors that Gallagher left
with the intention of not returning to
San Francisco.
The prosecution regarded his testimony
as the self-confessed "go-between' be-
tween Abe Ruef and the boodling super
visors as one of the strongest links
against the public service corporation.
Mr.. Calhoun, through his attorneys,
stated to the court that he was anxious
for the trial to proceed, but that i'm
portant business connected with the
financiering of the United Railroads de-
manded his presence in New York
The postponement of the Calhoun case
carried with It the postponement of other
graft cases, all of which were today car
ried over.
