MIR. HEFLN'S TRIAL
HIS CASE IS POSTPONED UNTIL
 DECEMBER.
This VIII Be Great Disappointment to Numerous Repub POIitieIans Who Were COnAdentIy Figuring on a Sensation Before
 EnNeSfnm.

Washington, Sept 17.-(Special.)- The case of Representative Heflin, charged with shooting the negro Louis Lundy. on a street car in Washington last March, which was docketed for next month. will not be called in court until just after Congress meets In De- cember.
 District Attorney Baker says that he arranged a postponement so that the Alabama Congressman would not have to make an extra trip to Wash ington. This will be great disap- pointment to numerous Republican poll ticians. who were confidently figuring on a sensation before election. If Hefiin could be convicted of attempted manslaughter. they believed 1t would do much to check the serious revdt among the negroes because of Secre- tary Tafts nomination, and If the Ala bamian were acquitted by the jury, the trial at such time was expected to have considerable effect out in the close States. where negroes hold tho balance of power.
 It Is a well-known fact that some political agitators did everything they could to have the case tried before election. They now find fault with the judge and district attorney on ae- count of the postponement: they can also express tn cir opinion of the United States officials for putting off until after election the boycott case against Sam Gompers and other Ameri- can Federation of Labor officials who are presumed to be in coptempt on ae- count of the action against them by the Buck Stove Company of St Louis.
 Lundy the negro with whom Mir. Hehin had the difficulty. has been ar- rested several times since the affair fin March. and the police call him bad darkey. Alfred J. Stofer.
