O[COi( BIGGEST
MAN IN THE STATE
Has Complete Control Of Political
Machinery, Although He May
Have 10 Appoint Successor

Portland, Mar. 5.--Construing the
Lieutenant governor constitutional
amendment that win be submitted
to the electorate at the special June
election, constitutional lawyers to-
day held that should the measure be
adopted It would devolve upon Act
Ing Governor olcott to appoint a
lieutenant governor, and that he
would succeed Olcott as governor
and hold offlco until next regular
election.
According TO constitutional law
yers who have examined this proyi-
sion, olcott is merely serving as act
Ing governor BY virtue of occupying
the office OF secretary OF state. and
that should the proposed lieutenant
governor amendment be adopted II
would deyolye on him to appoint a
lieutenant governor, who immediate
ly following his appointment would
become governor under the provi-
sions OF the proposed measure. Fur
ther, they point out. the proposed
amendment would supplant the con-
stitutional provision under which
olcott is now serving as acting gov
ernor, and the proposed measure ex-
pressly provides that In case OF a va
cancy In the governorship the lieu
tenant governor shall assume the Of
flee, and In the event OF his inabil-
ity to serve the president of the SEN
ate shall become governor. No ref
erence whatever is made In the pro-
posed amendment to the Office OF
secretary OF state. Such was also
the construction put upon the pro-
posed amendment by attorneys in
both the. senate and house In dis
cusslng the measure in both commit
tee and on the floor.
Under the present constitutional
provision olcott is made a political
autocrat for ne Is given complete
control OF the whole political machin-
cry OF the state.

.UNLUCKY NO. IS MADE
UP BY ''GHOST SHIP

London, Mar. 5.--Among the war
stories that British naval men feel
free to tell now is one about a
ghost ship" whose mystery has
never been solved
In 1917, convoy of IL ships left
British port. At dawn on the day
after sailing the escort commander
discovered IS ships under his charge.
While the identity Of the extra ship
was being discussed. the convoy was
suddenly attacked by German light
cruisers and most Of the escort and
nine OF the merchantmen we're sunk,
The Germans then made OF.
Survivors positively assert that
there we're 13 ships and that the
mysterious vessel disappeared as
strangely as she had appeared. They
are certain that the ship was not
sunk. Official inquiries failed to
throw any light on the nature OF the
craft. It was ascertained that she
could not have been disguised Ger
man raider and her presence was
logged" by the escort commander.
