William Sulzer Is exhibiting a degree of nerve and confidence in nimseii which amazes even those who know him best. Convinced at last that his chances of acquittal are slight, Mr. Sulzer is making ready to keep up his fight on Charles F. Murphy. The statement he has prepared and which Is being held for release presuDPOses that he will be found guilty by the court. He evident ly expects nothing else and hia future moves are arranged with that in view. Fight to Be Waged on Tammany. Drawing his inspiration -from the mass of encouraging letters which come to him daily. Mr. Sulzer stands ready, he declares, to seek revenge of his political enemies. He will not ac cept the verdict of the Court of Im peachment as final and sink Into po litical oblivion without a struggle. He will denounce the verdict and with his plea of conspiracy take his story to the people. He will keep alive the agitation as long as he can find an audience to listen to him. Defeat of every Tammany candidate will be his aim. After spending hours In the seclusion of his library reading letters of en couragement from every part of the state the Governor stepped out on the j - th. -ror.il r i v a residence at S o'clock this afternoon with a bolder stride than has been nis ior a win His countenance and demeanor indi cated he was relieved that the ordeal of his trial was over. Sailer Bitter Aa-alaa Mnrpfcy. To the butler he said, "Tell the newspaper men I will not talk yet" and he went for & long automobile ride. Through the entire day he was alone. There were no callers - and none came to see him on official busi ness of the Impeachment case. To one of his callers in the last few days Mr. Sulzer is said to have given the index to his frame of mind when he declared, "Murphy may have the votes to put me out of the governor ship, but if I go out of politics I will take him with me." Since the ending of the trial a dif ferent version has been heard concern ing Mr. Sulzer"s non-appearance ' as a witness. Through the trial, the Im pression was given that Mr. Sulzer was fighting with his counsel to be permitted to take the stand and that he even threatened to disregard the advice of the counsel and go to court on his own account. Sulser Refuse, to Take Stand. Now it develops that at least two of the counsel begged Mr. Sulzer to take the stand, declaring that the pub lic demanded his appearance. Harvey D. Hinman Is said to have led in the demand and to have been seconded by X. Cady Herrlck. Louis Mars alone held that the case should rest on the constitutional argument. Mr. Sulzer could have taken the stand if he had chosen, with little or no opposition by his counsel, it Is asserted, but he Is said to have re fused to listen to this advice. Verdict Expected Tuesday. A verdict In the impeachment trial probably will not be reached before Tuesday Is the general impression to night. Court will not convene until 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, after which the rules for balloting and other pro cedure must be decided. The court first will take up the proposition as to whether certain testimony shall be stricken out and then will consider the constitutional objections raised by Eulzer's counsel against the Impeach ment charges. It was rumored tonight that State Senator Palmer, to whom Mrs. Sulzer told her story after the Governor was Impeached, would ask that the case be reopened and that he and Mrs. Sul zer be Invited to testify. Senator Palmer denied any such intention. MAZAMAS WALK 24 MILES Party Trudges From Can by on Re turn to Portland.

OPIUM RECEIPTS DECREASE All Funds Are Collected by One Bureau and Later Are Dis tributed to Municipalities and Provinces. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 12. The Bureau of Insular Affairs has Just received the annual re port of William T. Noltlng, the Collec tor of Internal Revenue of the Philip pine Islands, for the fiscal year ending June 30. This bureau collects not only the taxes on liquors and tobacco but also the cedula or polltax, the percent age tax on sales of merchandise and all occupation taxes. These taxes are to some extent of a local nature, the cedula being entirely so, and while collected by the agents of the central office are later apportioned to the prov inces and municipalities. For tha year ending June 30 last Col lector Nolting reports total collections of $11,392,382.98, an increase of $800, 298.83, or 714 per cent, over the preced ing year. Of the increase nearly $700,000 was duo to a larger output by manu factories of taxable articles and to a stricter enforcement of the laws im posing taxes. The amounts named include the land tax, $682,716.40, in the City of Manila, which has a population of approxi mately 300,000. Of internal revenue proper the tax collected on alcoholic and tobacco products was $4,040,618.31, on dealers $333,165, and on imported articles of this nature. $333,996. One Item of decreased receipts is gratify ing the amount of penalties collected under the opium law it being less than $46,000, or a decrease of more than 26 per cent. Tho apportionable taxes amounted to 17,434.278 pesos, or half that many dol lars, including the regular cedula or poll tax, $1,071,581, which was divided equally between the municipalities and provinces, the extra cedula tax voted by the various provincial boards, amounting to nearly as much, having gone to the provinces for road and bridge purposes. The municipalities re ceived license taxes to the extent of something over $300,000, while the other collections of $1,682,041 were divided equally between the municipalities and provinces. One phase of Mr. Noltlng's report shows an interesting bit of light on the working out of the policy of reduc ing the number of Americans In the Philippine service as rapidly as quali fied Filipinos became available. Thus the Bureau of Internal Revenue began the year with 430 regular and tem porary employes, of whom 85 were Americans; while on June 30 this num ber had been reduced to 48. In the process of reorganization the collector substituted Filipinos in a number of positions heretofore occupied by Ameri cans exclusively, and finds with f9W exceptions the results have been better than hoped for. ADVICE IS GIVEN GIVERS PHILANTHROPISTS ARE URGED TO KEEP CASH AT HOME. Superintendent Aldrman Tells Men of Means Where They Can Put Money to Good Advantage. "I hope that the time will come when people who have something to give will give it to an Institution which Is already established and doing effec tive work rather than to one that is untried," said L. R. Alderman, Super intendent of Portland Schools. In the forum discussion" which followed his address at the Unitarian Church last night "If you want to find out what you can do to help the schools you need not go to New York. There are plenty of opportunities for you to study the situation and to give effective help right here In Portland. If you have money to give, there are students fin ishing high school who will be out In the world next year, and a judicious SULZER. loan at that time would be a big thing. Or, if you know where they can obtain emnlovment and communi cate with the schools, you can be of wonderful assistance In helping some young people who are Just starting out to put to practical use what they have learned In the schools." Mr. Alderman also spoke of the plan for the establishment of a school for the temporarily unemployed, in which they may fit themselves for better po sitions. Mr. Alderman emphasized the Importance of personal co-operation between the parents and teachers. HATS DOFFED IN TEMPLE Jewish Women at Reformed Syna gogue Break Tradition. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.
