"I have it direct from the Inspector of this postal division, who is now lo cated at Spokane, that he would trans fer his base to Portland at once if there was room for him. The same is true with respect to the headquarters of the railway mail service, which is now occupying rented quarters in Seat tle. "The acquisition by Portland of these departments would mean a pavroll of 116.10,10 a year distributed in Portland in addition to the present payroll Port arid is the logical home of these divis ons. but they will not come if thev have to he put ntn rented quarters as Sf r vip iff IB Q9r h ' Militiamen rs they appeared on arrival in Portland, after gaining laurels in competition with nation's beat rifle shots. so many other federal offices are now put. "I want to see a 15-story office building erected on the site of the pres ent postoffice building. By the time this can be built, the development of the postoffice and railway mall busi ness will have practically filled the eight-story structure where the pres ent plans call for a two-story building. United Action Urged. "I understand that the opposition to the eight-story postoffice on the new site near tho depot is not unanimous. As a matter of fact, the objection that proper light, ventilation, and working facility cannot be secured in a tall building, is not well founded. Archi tects tell me that the same working conditions can be secured in a tall build ing that can be secured In a low one. "I want everybody who is intereste.i in Portland's grdwth as a center of fed eral government to write without delay to Senator Lane or Senator Chamberlain and urge the amendment by congress of the act which appropriated $1,000,000 for a postoffice In' Portland. The amend ment could be passed a,s an emergency and 1 think an emerfrency could easily be shown when confess is told hO'' much each day the government is losing in rent alone because of the use of rented quarters for federal officers."

Graves Music Co. Removal Sale 111 FOURTH STREET members of the court are hostile to the ROvernor. His friends do not be lleve, however, that this majority will amount to two-thirds. Having; rcKis,tered their objection to the court as a wholr, Sulzer s lawyers objected further to the swearing In of Senators Wagner, Frawley. Ramsperfjer and Banner, on the ground that they prepared and have pre-Judged the Im peachment case. They had a lengthy brief ready to submit in support 'of their contention, but Chief Justice Cullen of the court of appeals cut the discussion short by saying both objections wouW be consid ered later. The proce'edings were of the most im pressive and solemn character. They were conducted in profound silence ex cept for the voices of those participat ing in the proceedings, despite the fact that the galleries were packed. A large proportion of those In the audience were women. The members of the court were sworn Individually. Justice Cullen refused members o the lower house the privi lege of the senate floor. houis Sarecky, Sulzer's former private secretariand who was expected to be the star witness at the trial, has dis appeared. Representatives of the houBe sent to Buffalo last night to locto Sarecky this afternoon heard that he had left the state. He Is reported to have gone to Cleveland. When Sulzer was put on trial In tho ornate senate chamber at the New York state capitol today, the oldest politi cians expressed doubt as to the out come. A month ago it seemed certain that the executive would be removed from office. As a result, however, of an energetic campaign In his behalf throughout the entire state, there has been a marked change in sentiment All that it was possible to predict today v. as that the final vote on the case will be very close. Both sides professed confidence. "We have proof of the governor's guilt," said Assemblyman Aaron Levy, leader of the fight for Sulzer's removal, "and he will be removed." "I believe I will get a fair trial," said Sulzer, "and if I do, I will be acquitted. The time has passed when a political boss1 whim can he gratified by the re moval from office of a man whose only crime Is that he has served the people faithfully." The array of counsel for prosecution and defense was the greatest ever seen at any trial In the history of New York state. The court will sit from 10 until one, and from 2 until 5. Chief Justice Cullen has overruled the plan to have the members of the court of appeals vote first and the legislators after them. Instead, the roll call will be alphabetical throughout. This means that Senator George Argetslnger, a Re publican from Rochester, will vote flrBt, and thaU-four Tammany lawmakers and three other Republicans will precede the first Judge. Sulzei. originally W Tammany man, broke with the organization after his election as governor, and his impeach ment followed not long afterward. The charge against him. at the 4yt.. se". was that he failed to Include -Kill Items which should properly have ap peared In the statement he riled, as re quired by law, of his campaign ex penses. In the course of the Investi gation which followed he was accused further of having used some of his campaign contributions In personal spec ulations. The defense's contention Is that the case was manufactured by Tammany because the governor would not take orders.
