TnE . MORNING OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1920 AFFI1 U. S. COURT ALBhRS SENTENCE Conviction Under Espionage Act Sustained on Appeal. PRISON TERM APPROVED Trial Involves Alleged Derogatory Keniarks Against V. S. and For mer Secretary McAdoo. whose records are under investiga tion. It was said today that out of 435 members of the house, there are' less than 100 on labor's blacklist as now made up. The number may be nearer 75. Of this number, however, the fight on more than half will have to be made in primaries, as they repre sent districts where a nomination is equivalent to election. Republicans and democrats are said to stand in about equal proportion on the list. The announcement of labor's polit ical plains has. made the large national farm organizations more emphatic in their declaration that they will not join with union labor in its campaten I to elect a labor congress. A large nuinuer oi me memDers oi congress whom labor would defeat are the ardent supporters of the farmers' measures and represent districts that are chiefly agricultural. ' a) LABOR'S STAND IS ARGIED DEFEflWIJJ. ABSOLVES LEGION SAX FRANCISCO. Feb. 9. The United States circuit court of appeals here today affirmed a decision of the federal district court of Portland, Or., imposing a fine of $10,000 and three years' imprisonment on Henry Albers, a Pacific coast miller, on charges of violating the federal espionage act. According to the government charges, Albers. while traveling from (, rants Pass to Roseburg. Or, on Apr 6. 1917. made remarks derogatory the United States, declared he was German sympathizer and made verbal attacks on former Secretary of th Treasury William G. McAdoo an other officials. The defense contended Albers wa Intoxicated at the time and that there fore the legal intent sufficient to con stitue a crime was lacking. Const! tutionality of the espionage act also was attauked. Chamber of Commerce Blamed for Clash. Is to FURTHER APPKAIj AXXOOCED Attorneys for Henry Albers to Carry Case to Highest Court. Henry Albers was indicted on charge of violating the espionage act and his case has been before the rourts for slightly over a year. He is livinti at . -Milwaukie, Or., and has long been identified with milling in terests on the Pacific coast. Mr.. Albers was indicted on Novem ber -2. 1918, and tried In Portland be fore Federal Judge Wolverton in Jan uary, 1919, the jury bringing in a ver- dlst of guilty on two counts. Judge Wolverton sentenced the alleged Ger man sympathizer to three years in federal prison and to pay a fine of J10.000. Later a motion for a new trial was denied, but an appeal was taken to the circuit court of appeals at San Francisco, where the case was argued in October, a Judgment not.be ing rendered until thiB time. There still remains the possibility of a hearing before the United States supreme court, and that Mr. Albers will make every effort to have the case taken to the highest court in the land was indicated yesterday. It was declared by his attorneys that ! the case would be fought to the last 1 and that a petition for a writ of cer tiorari will be filed. With the filing of such a writ with the circuit court of appeals an extension of time of freedom under bond probably would be made while the United States su preme court considered the petition. Should the supreme court decide not to review the case, nothing short of a presidential pardon could keep the . wealthy miller out of federal prison. Mr. Albers Is at present released on a 110,000 bond, and no steps will be taken by the federal authorities until ' the mandate Is received from San Francisco, District Attorney Hum phreys announced. As soon as the mandate is received, he stated, a wri of execution will be asked for carry ing out the sentence of the court. C, H. Carey, who. with Judge John Mc Court, appeared for the defendant at San Francisco, is expected to direct the attempt of Mr. Albers to have his case brought before the supreme court. Mr. Carev has been in New York on business trip and is expected back Friday. Announcement Attacked and De fended in House. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. The first reaction in congress to plans of or ganized labor for intervention in the coming political campaign came to day In the house. Attacking the labor announcement as a "pronunciamento against congress," Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas, said it was "the greatest menace ever sounded in this country." Representative Nolan, republican, California, defended labor's pro gramme and charged that Blanton, In a previous extension of remarks In the Congressional Record, had "stolen in as a thief In the night." Mr. Blan ton cut ' the defense short , by object ing to Mr. .'olan's remarks. The Texas member declared "the showing of Samuel Gompers' hand is going to wake up the people of this, Whenever Samuel Gompers puts his hand on a representative and savs elect him the-people will keep that man at home," said he. ' 'For once I heartilv agree with Gompers and his associate leaders when they say 'a national crisis is threatening the institutions of the country'," Blanton continued. "When an organized minnritv of less than 5 per cent of the people can control legislation, and now threaten to elect a congress of serfs, it is indeed a 'national- crisis' threat ening the institutions of the country." Declaring that Mr. Gompers wanted congress "pledged to carrv out his orders," Mr. Blanton said it behooved 11 "Americans who love their coun try to find out the names of the can- 11 MEN CALLED MARTYRS First Items of Evidence and Testi mony by Prosecution Call Forth Early Answer.

SLAYER DENIES MURDER Finell's Plea Is Expected to Be In sanity Causing Killing. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Feb. 9. (Spe cial.) Pohn Pinnell, who recently shot and killed George W. Tyler at Raymond, was arraigned this week and pleaded- not guilty. He asked the court to appoint John T. Welsh and R. G. Chambers as counsel, which the court did. . From circumstances leading up to the crime In which he killed Pinnell, believing the latter had broken up. his home, his plea, it is thought, will be that of Insanity. WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. Denial that mutiny has occurred on any war de partment transport was made today by Secretary Baker, in a letter to Chairman Kahn of the house military committee. "Mr. 1 Baker said charges a resolution introduced bv Renre- seniauve written, republican, Illinois, or inefficient, unseaworthv. mnti. ous, dangerous and almost murder ua operation oi transports. were unjust. Referring to the case of the: trans port America, which docked at New York last December with 13 members or the. crew under arrest, the secre tary said they were charged with "certain derelictions of duties." In eluding theft. Evidence against only one of the 13 men was sufficient to hold him after the ship docked, he added, the others being punished at sea. "No evidence indicates that the ac cident to the Powhatan was the de liberate action of bolshevism aboard that vessel," wrote the secretary, re ferring to the recent plight of that transport which finally was towed to Halifax. HOOD RIVER FOR WOOD J. R. Niekclen, Stale Senator. Candidate to Succeed Self. HOOD RIVER, Or., Feb. 9. (Spe cial.) Political interest, national. state and local, is extremely dormant here. While individual expression of prominent republicans indicates a local support of Leonard Wood for the presidency, no organized movement hasjieen made for him. But a single candidate has made announcement of his intentions. J. R. Nickelsen, who was joint senator from Hood River and Wasco counties in the last legislature, will seek the republican nomination to succeed him self. While Hood River and Wasco counties must elect two joint repre sentatives, no candidates are in the field. The offices of district attorney, sheriff, county clerk and school super intendent must be filled this year. No candidates, however, have announced intentions of running.

There appears to be considerable doubt as to whether union labor will finally oppose Representative Hadley of Washington and French of Idaho. It was" said that both of them had been placed in a tentative list for in vestigation. Neither Mr. Hadley nor Mr. French has shown any marked hostility to labor measures, but both being independently inclined, It is pre sumed they have cast some vote dis pleasing to the legislative representa- MORO PLANS EXPANSION B. Hosford Announces Proposed Developments of Town. The town of Moro is getting ready for a general expansion in more lines than one, according to J. B. Hosford, attorney from that place, who was in Portland yesterday. Preparations, he said, are being made for the special election on Feb ruary 20, at which city charter amendments relative to construction of a 200,000-gallon reservoir for the city waterworks, rehabilitating the electric light system, paving certain treets and hard-surfacing other in- ersectlor.s and crosswalks will come up. The council at present is unable to provide sums for these improvements because of the limitations in the old charter enacted in 1899.

Lockett, recently discharged from the army, was secreted and posses were formed immediately to look for him. He was found at the home of a friend six miles from the scene of the murder late that night. Police announced that the negro had con fessed to the murder, adding that "he didn't know" why he had killed the girl. ' FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb. 9. Gover nor Morrow late this afternoon signed Lockett's death warrant. The negro will die in the electric chair at the state penitentiary March 11. Yeggs Are Sentenced. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Feb. 9. Jack L. Gretcher, John Jackson and Leo Leland, self-confessed yeggs, , who blew open the Northern Pacific ticket office safe here last Monday morning, were sentenced to the state reforma tive of the American Federation from I tory at Monroe this week. The sen- the fact that they are among th-r "nc(s were from 1 to 15 years. From one of those windows," an swered Gallagher. Tower avenue and the actual build ings, even to the smallest shed, were introduced . on lilllputian scajo' when tne state called N. Welter, cabinet maker, Centralia,. to the stand. On map of the tragedy Bcene Welter placed miniature models of the struc tures, which had been rendered real istic by the use of photographs, en larged to scale, pasted over the wood. Vanderveer Is Answered. "Don't those things speak for them selves?"- interrupted the T. W. W. counsel, as C. D. Cunningham, special prosecutor, was interrogating the witness: "From your opening statement this morning," retorted Abel, "it appeared that they did not speak for them selves." George Bevans, photographer, Che halis. next testified concerning the identification of 33 photographs of the scene of various buildings, many of the views having been snapped from the same positions and the same angles, which the state claims were held by certain of the defendants in firing. . Early this afternoon the state called Sheriff John F. Berry of Lewis county to identify the weapons al leged to have been used by the de fendants m the attack upon the ar mistice parade. Six rifles, all of large caliber, and five revolvers and pistols were introduced and marked as ex hibits. Identification of two rifles was completed by Sheriff Berry under questions launched by C. D. Cunning ham, special prosecutor. Testimony Taken on Rifle. A stubby 32-20 rifle of the carbine type, well-worn and sans both var nish- and blue, was produced. "Did you ever show this gun to Bert Bland?" asked Cunningham, naming one of the defendants. "Yes, sir." answered the sheriff. "What did he say?" "He claimed ownership of the gun." "When did he say he saw it last?" "He told me he threw it away on the railroad track near Calvin." "And before that?" "He said it was the gun he had on the hill. "What hill?" v "Seminary hill." . It was Seminary hill where -Bland, Loren Roberts and other I. W. W. were stationed to fire upon the dis tant parade, according to Roberts' confession. "Did you ever exhibit this gun to O. C. Bland?" asked Cun ningham, when a 25-35 rifle was in troduced, speaking of 'Commodore" Bland. Each Rifle Is Inspected. I did." replied Sheriff Berry. "He claimed ownership." As each rifle was offered in evi dence, the I. W. W. counsel inspected the arm. He picked up a pump-action an.enliher hammerless. The court dodged the waiving muzzle and called caution. smiling. . vanaerveer wrestled with the mechanism, striv- to unlock the chamber. Along the row of defendants, woodsmen all, ran a subdued snicker. Press It on the side," advised Eu gene Barnctt, defendant. His was the irst voice irom uie ynovnci o be raised in aught save a whisper ince the case opened. Other exhibits were: Tnirty-eignr. caliber revolver, 32-20 revolver, -a caliber high-power rifle, Jo canoer pistol, a 38-55 rifle, 32-20 revolver, 5 caliber automatic pistol. The 38-55 rifle and a 32 caliber re volver were the only weapons which anderveer contested the -Identifiea- ion ot, rcaany aamnuns me un-nci- hip of the other arms by various ae fendants. Police Chief Testifies. A. C. Hughes, chief of police of (Vntralia. had testified that one of the revolvers had belonged to Ray Becker, and another to Britt Smith. These the defense admitted, also ad mittine the ownership of the 22 call her hie-h-oower by Loren Roberts. But on the 38-55 caliber rifle, shiny new weapon, alleged, by the state to have been used by Eugene Barnett. the defense declined to ad mit identification. This weapon is alleged by the state to have been the one that killed Warren O. Grimm, with respect to the original sale of this gun. Sheriff Berry testified that he had sent the number to the fac tory, had traced it to the wholesale, but had not yet received adequate reply from that source. "Do you know who murdered Wes ley Everetts?" was one question that Vanderveer launched at Sheriff Berry. Judge Wilson sustained the objection 'of the state, and the query remained unanswered. Everetts was lynched by unknown vigilantes shortly fol lowing his capture. Witnesses Are Excluded. At the close of today's session, the defense asked that the court order all witnesses to remain outside the courtroom while otner testimony is being given, both by state and de fense. Judge Wilson complied and is sued the order. Refusal to Berve as alienist in the examination of Loren Roberts, de fendant, for whom insanity is pleaded, was received today by the defense from Dr. Donald Nicholson, Seattle. who .had been appointed by an order of the court at the request of Vanderveer.- Roberts is the author of a signed confession now in the hands of the state. Vanderveer said mat ne is con vinced that Roberts is insane and that he will seek another alienist, willing to abide by any report, so confident is he of the defendant's mental con dition. He said that the defense will probably employ a Portland physician, and named Dr. Williamson as one to whom the examination will be offered. At the opening of the morning ses sion Vanderveer informed the court that he desired to make his opening statement at that time, rather than wait the formal opening of the case for the defendants. Weeks must Intervene, he said, before the jurors would hear the witnesses and weigh the evidence of the defense. For that reason, he asserted, he felt it neces sary to make a statement in reply to the opening statement of tlie prosecu tion and to give to the jury a more comprehensive view ot the testimony. "The defense Is handicapped at this time by not knowing in detail what our proof will be," said Vanderveer. "This promises to be a long trial. The prosecution has 300 witnesses. I don't think it will produce them alL j I know it wouldn't dare. . "It would be unfortunate ibr the defense, unfortunate for the jury, if I should permit you for two or three weeks to sit here and listen to tes timony, only a part of which you understand. "The big queation In this case is who was the aggressor? Was it a deliberately planned murderous attack upon the marchers, or was it a de liberately planned attack upon the I W. W., which they merely resented? We -will stand or fall or be judged by that. issue. . "There has been some effort on the part of the state to make it ap pear that this is not an I. W. W. trial. It is. Not because we want that issue here, but because it can not be kept out. The I. W. W. is at the bottom of this. Not as an or ganization, however. It is because it is a labor organization and because of the philosophy for which it stands that this thing arises. . . Wigc System Held Wrong. "The I. W. W. is representative In this court of the labor movement of the rest of the world. The I. W. W. says first that the wage system is wrong and that it intends to abolish this system by organizing in the in dustrial field precisely as capital and employers organize." Here Vanderveer recited a long list of economic tragedies, which e al leged to be the fruit of the capital istic system. . "These things," he continued, "have convinced the I. W. W. as they have convinced the soviet, as they have convinced the Nonpartison leaguers, that, there must be a fundamental change, so that we may work for service rather than profit. "Some time in September the I. W. W. opened a little hall in Centralia on Tower avenue. From then on the I. W. W. conducted regular propa-' ganda meetings. From this place also were dispatched organizers into the nearby lumber camps to teach the workers the philosophy of this labor movement. Business Also Organizes. ' - "About the time the hall was opened we will show you that people from Seattle came to Centralia and held meetings. It was in no sense a local movement. It was a branch of the Merchants and Manufacturers' asso ciation. The purpose was to form an organization of business men to com bat this new- philosophy to brand everybody as a traitor, as un-American, who sought to teach the truth of business conditions. "On October 20 a meeting was held at the Elks' club, at which William Scale was president. Various people spoke and said the I. W. W. must be run out of town, that It must be busted up. Among these speakers was a man named Hubbard. F. H. Hubbard, president of the Eastern Railway & Mill company, Who said that it was a d shame that the I. W. W. were not run out of town. Mr. ' Cunningham, counsel for the state, is his attorney, just as Mr. Abel is attorney for the timber in terests. "This meeting1 nominated men to deal with the I. W. W. A committee of 10 or 12 was appointed by the chairman. It was announced that the proceedings of that committee would be secret. They were and still are secret. Onster Idea Protested. "During the.jneeting of October 20 a city commissioner and the chief of police, maybe it was the mayor, got up and said they had no righti to run the I. W. W. out of Centralia, The city attorney tpld them there was no law whereby they could run the L W. W. out of town. That city attorney was 'Polly' Grimm, brother and law partner of Warren Grimm.' He likened the armistice day pa rade to that of two years ago, when the I. W. W. hall was raided during a patriotic parade, and declared that the action of the L W. W. on Novem ber 11 was caused by the refusal ol the authorities to afford protection. Vanderveer declared that after the Elks', club meeting on October 20 such was the apprehension or tne I. W. W. that circulars were printed in Tacoma and distributed m Cen tralia. 1 asking the citizens of that city to protect the , local I. W. W. from violence. He added that the defense will call witnesses to testify to this. Show of Strength I'rged. "Counsel has told you that the American Legion knew nothing about the plans," said Vanderveer.

That Elmer Smith, attorney and defendant, sacrificed his career to champion the cause of the workers, and that his present plight is due to the enemies engendered by that stand, was the' next contention. "Smith made himself a thorn in the flesh- of the people who live bs profit in Centralia," asserted Vanderveer, "who fear ideas, who fear free speech. He did go to the hall that day and tell the boys that general assault was being' talked of. Would r.ot you have done It?" Further, Vanderveer declared that he will call witnesses to prove that there was no shooting from the Avalon hotel or the Arnold rooming house. He said that the Arnolds, proprietors of the one and landlords of the Avalon, will so testify. For Eugene Barnett, named by the state as the man who fired from the window of the Avalon with a 3S-S5 caliber rifle, Vanderveer claimed an alibi, saying he would be able to prove that Barnett was not in the Avalon, and that he never possessed such a rifle.
