that the war department was not plan

way to proceed would be to esk from

In executive session today, the Port

assume the trusteeship of a fund of
$100,000 to serve as a bonus for the es
tablishment of a line of steamships be
tween Portland and the Atlantic sea
ports, five Teasels 'to be constructed in
Multnomah county. ' ' ' -
Captain, Richard Chilcott, who Is pro
moting the enterprise, told the Chamber
that he would' build the ships, estab'lsh
a low, rate on lumber and flour and build
up a business that' would yield to the
company 978,000 to $100,000 a year and
confer a benefit of five times that sum
upon the people of Portland.
, The chamber decided to call for sub
scriptions of f 1000 each, $200 of this to
be. paid after the completion of each of
the , five ships. In that way- It was
pointed out,- the financial burden would
be made easier nd the same end se

' The five' ships are to cost $900,000.
Captain ' Chilcott declared the $100,000

nor as a subsidy to, tha company , that
will build the ships. He said it was to
supply funds for such work as Is found
necessary' to build up a business which
Portland does- not now possess and has
to be -wrested from other points. .

, ,Tbe galleries were packed this after

court of appeals called the Sulzer im

vote on the question of , removing the
governor. Senator Argetsinger, the first
to votes favors-a -verdict of "gulltv."
Judge 3artlett, next on the roll, was
for acquittal. -Senator Brown, .Republi
can leader 'in the upper house of tht
state legislature, voted guilty.
Brown explained his vote briefly, say
ing .' he . considered - Sulzer' s failure ;' to
take .the stand In his -own defense a
confession of guilt -
Judge ChaBe, the second member of
the appeals bench to cast his ballot,
voted not guilty.. There was no question
of Sulser'Si moral guilt, ha remarked,
but he did not regard that as sufficient
to warrant a verdict of guilty. ,
. The Tammany senators voted solidly
for .conviction. 4 v
.Judge Cuddeback voted rullty. Chief
Justice-Cullen'a -vote was for acquittal.
He said he was convinced rrulzer uaed

; The fallen executive had the comfort
of. the consideration,., however, that he

Leaders Of the Republican state or

that the , impeachment court's decree
did not inoluda disqualification ' from
future office holding. Their theory,
was that as an active candidate at tte
next and "probably at subsequent state
elections, Buiser will raw heavily from
