Wood^ ?hips Sold by Government [226 Vessels That Cost $300, 000,000 Knocked Down ' for $7^0,000 Washington, Sept. 12?The ship I ping board today got rid of its j "white elephant." j The great fleet of wooden ves ! sels, conceived during the w;ar as a j means of rapdly bridging the At lantic, was knocked down at pri vate competitive sale to ..George j I). Perry, of San Francisco." The I price?$750,000 for 22S -vessels, an I but ten of the entire woolen fleet? j was considered bargain as- evidenc ed by spirited bidding which rap I idly ran the offers from a first bid of $406,000 to $750,000, which was accepted by Chairman Lasker and other members of ? the shipping board. The wooden fleet was built at a cost of approximately $300,000,000. When the bids reached the sum of $625,000 Mr. Lasker called the board which sat in at the sale into executive session to determine whether the sale should be contin= !t ued on the unit basis or in lots, j The former course was adopted I and the bidding from then was largely between Mr. Perry and the Dravo Contracting Co., of Pitts burgh. The latter finally stopped at $749,000. Mr. Perry's represen tative then offered $750,000. '' j Of the fleet, 21T vessels are wood en and nine are of wood and steel. Two hundred and eleven are now at Claremohi, Va.. 13 at Orange, I Texas,and two at Beaumont Texas. One of the conditions of the sale was that they were not to be used for transportation purposes as steamships and that they would be dismantled in a reasonable time. Chairman Lasker said after the sale he thought the successful bid i der expected to dispose of the. ship3 as scrap. IMPEACHMENT IS ASKED Washington,.' ' Sept. 11.?Im peachment charges against Attor ney General Daugherty, growing out of his petition for an injunc tion in the cases of striking railway employes, were presented to the House today'; by representative Keller of Minnesota, an Independ ent Republican.

Seven specific charges were set forth in the Keller complaint, em bracing alleged attempts to abridge freedom of speech, the freedom of the press and the right of the peo pie peaceably to assemble. The at torney general was accused of threatening citizens who had op posed his attempts to "override the constitution"; he was charged with using the funds of his o/flce "illegally and without warrant'* for the prosecution of individuals and corporations "for certain law ful acts," with failure to prosecute violation of the law "after those violations have become public scandal." The concluding counts charged that the attorney general had defeated the ends of justice by recommending th^ release from prison of wealthy offenders against the Sherman anti-trust act. and with failure , to prosecute persons legally indicted for crimes against the people.
