V i 19 TTTi: MOTiXIXG OREGOMAX, TUESDAY. FEBRUAItY 4, 1919. v SLEUTHS HOUNDED MR. ALBERS, JURY IS TOLD Pro-German Words of Defend ant Declared Not Illegal. CLASS 4 'PATRIOTS' SCORED Attorney McConrt Declares Thai Government Witnesses Heckled Defendant to Hasty Words; Portrayal of Henry Albers, million aire miller on trial in Federal Court for alleged violations of the espionage act, as an ideal type of German-American citizen, "common and dull," and industrious, who -was heckled into dis loyal statements while grossly intoxi cated, marked the review of evidence as ijiven yesterday to the jury by John IMcCourt, attorney for the defense, who contended that the Government had failed utterly to establish the motive of intent to hamper America in the a r. The crowd of spectators was a rec ord one, lured by the belief that Henry K , McGinn, of the defense, would J ke his closing argument in charac t istic fiery fashion. But Mr. McGinn c not appear, and, as the argument c Jlr. McCourt lengthened on and on, ' re were visible evidences of rest--Isness. At 4:10 o'clock: the counsel ked Judge Wolverton for an ad J lrnment until 9:30 this morning. Mr. McGinn May Appear Today. Mr. McCourt announced that Mr. Mc ( nn, relied upon by the defense to ' Trfxlza closing argument, was in disposed and unable to attend the ses sion, by reason of the fact that he had taken a strong narcotic, under physi cian's prescription, and was in no con dition to plead for the defendant. As surance was given, however, that Mr. McGinn would be present in court this morning. Though United States District At torney Haney said that the request was irregular and that the prosecu tion was ready to proceed, he added that it had no desire to deprive. .Mr. Albers of the services of his counsel and that he would abide by the decision of the court. Judge Wolverton granted the petition for adjournment, on def inite assurance that Mr. McGinn would ho in attendance at the opening of this morning's session, which was set tor 9 :10 o'clock. At the opening of the afternoon ses sion, bailiffs struggled with the crowd that attempted to thrust into the al ready over-thronged courtroom. As tho court convened, the doors were thrown even and several hundred spec tators crowd;! the hall and stairs. Cnaiion I Urged. Mr. McCourt b.-ide the jury remember that the crime with which Mr. Albers is charged is akin to treason and that the evidence must be viewed with the greatest caution. Hn asked them to consider that the mere utterance of such statements as are attributed to the defendant "are not an offense against . the espionage act i unless they produce .the forbidden results. ' namely, the ob-'iA.ncv.oo-. of the fyar purposes of the United St;.tes. "Mere argument, mere discussion, mere expression of opinion, are not of fenses against the Government of the United States." declared Mr. McCourt. In support of this contention, he cited the fact that Great Britain, possessed of espionage laws very similar to those of the United States, has instituted but four prosecutions for sedition in 120 years, during which time the empire has been involved in several wars. Jllght of Free Spewh Kjnphanlzeil. "Not every word a citizen may speak, to which a patriotic citizen may take offense constitutes sedition." argued Mr. McCourt. lie told the jury that it was their duty to discriminate and dis tinguish between the right of free speech and "the mutterings of idle gos sip, of maudlin outbreak,, of drunken mouhtings." There has been a great deal of com plaint and criticism of the Govern ment's conduct of the war, argued the counsel for defense, on the part of American citizens of unimpeachable character. The Food Administration, the matter of soldiers allotments, and various other topics, have been widely and unfavorably discussed, charged Mr. M cCourt. "Can you think of anything more1 dampening upon the enthusiasm of the. young man goine: to war?" asked Mr. Fat That Shows Soon Disappears rrorulnertt fat that comes and stays where I is not needed is a bunion ; a hindrance to actlvitv. a curb upon .pleasure.

Their statements were not uttered with Intention and it's a question here of intent." 'Heckling; fa Charred. Practically admitting that Henry Albers had made all of the statements attributed to him while a passenger on a Southern Pacific train on Octo ber 8, the counsel for defense swept this aside with the counter-claim that Mr. Albers was far too drunk to real ize what he was saying, and that the bitterness occasioned by false charges brought against him had made him an easy prey for "heckling" on the part of United States Deputy Marshal Prank Tichenor and others of the Govern ment's witnesses. Remaining counts of the indictment, based upon expressions of opinion by Henry Albers while in Portland, were set aside by the defense as mere freedom of speech and honest opinion voiced in casual conversation. "The espionage act was passed to get at tangible, purposeful and wicked attempts to hamper the United States in its prosecution of the war," de clared Mr. McCourt. "Willful and crim inal intent is required for conviction, eliminating any question of acu-ideiital speech or speech while drunk. Defendant's Life Reviewed. "For 40 years the United States has been praising the German immigrant, lauding his worth as a citizen term ing him the greatest asset in the way of foreign immigration that ever came to this country. Everything he pro duced was of the highest type and highest character, and everybody spoke well of him. "Albers came here when he was 21 years of age," said Mr. McCourt. add ing this was before the doctrine of Kaiserism became prevalent or power ful in Germany. "He came to this coun try only partly educated, a simple, un couth German boy. ver since that time he has lived in your midst and his life has been an open book. Each night when he went to bed he had pro duced something something that lel't pregon and America the richer for" his existence. Praise of Defendant Cited. The counsel presented that Mr. Al bers had attended strictly to his own affairs, led a life of constructive worth, and that at no time had he atfiliated himself with street-corner agitators, radicalisms or the I. W. W. He asked the jury to remember that one witness had testified that "if everyone treated their employes as Henry Albers does, there'd be no Bolshevism, no I. W. W. ism." Again and again the argument touched upon what was termed the commonplace character of Mr. Albers, his dullness, his stupidity, reverting tceT the alleged wrongs that had been done him by hotheaded patriots and the probability that these wrongs so preyed upon the niindt of the defendant that they were uppermost when he was in toxicated, and gave birth to violent speech. "They said he put ground glass in his flour," argued Mr. McCourt. "A J gross, malicious lie: That was the kind of talk they gave this good citl fpn, this man of Gvitian birth, because ho said what no man of German birth could help saying. They charged this man with having a wireless station at his plant, and in the meantime, only a few days after we entered the war, he was advising his young men to enlist." Touching upon the libsrty loan and war work records of the defendant and the Albers 'Bros.' Milling Company, the counsel declared: "There were no slackers in that in stitution, anywhere, from Henry Albers down to the man who sweeps out the mill." Detectives Declared Bny. Yet from the outset of the war, charged the counsel for defense, secret agents had shadowed Albers every where, in the hope that he might be trapped. These efforts were futile, he continued, until the episode on the train, when the defendant was plainly drunk. At this juncture Mr. McCourt bitterly assailed the character of the Government's witnesses. Deputy United States Attorney Goldstein, and the ac fiA !

The favorite and much-loved "La Boheme" was chosen forhe opening- night, and the audience was one of the most appreciative and musically prominent of any that a Portland theater lias housed this sea son. A number of out-of-town folk, who are devotees of music, as well as being prominent socially in this city, as well as in their own city, are spending the week in town to attend the entire repertoire. Tonight the popular Kng lish opera. "The Secret of Suzanne" will be combined with "Pagliaeci," the latter to be given in Italian. Among the prominent Hood River folk who arrived in town yesterday for tile opera season are Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Root. They will be extensively entertained during their stay here, as both are very popular with Portland society, and their visits always mean a round of gala affairs. Another prominent visitor in town is Madame Kahey. well-known soloist. who sang in the opening concert of the Portland Symphony and she will be the guest of Mrs. A arren JE. Thomas this evening at the opera. Thursday night Mrs. Ionald Spencer will be a dinner hostess in her honor, and other well-known Portlanders are arranging entertainment in her bohalf. Mrs. Charles Heinline, a prominent musician of Roseburg and vicinity. also is in town for the season of grand opera, anii she is to be the guest of honor for a partj- this evening. Because of the lack of boxes in the Auditorium, the opera this season Is not regarded - as such an important event socially, although last night's as semblage was a brilliant one, many handsome gowns and wraps being noted in the various line parties in the pit of the house, as well as in the balcony encircling the entire house. Glittering jewels also adorned the necks, gowns and coiffures of milady, although the display was not as general as hereto fore. The true lover of opera, how ever, was there in all his glory, en th usiastically receiving the old favorite airs. ' Society and music lovers also are deeply interested in the special pro gramme to be presented by Winnifred Lugrin Kahey this afternoon for the MacDowell Club at the Little Theater. Madame Kahey, who is a prominent matron socially and musically in Van couver, B. C, returned yesterday from a visit to her home and children, and she will give a charming programme of songs this afternoon. Mrs. Grace Zimmerman Soltau. who has been mak ing her home in Vancouver Barracks with her husband. Lieutenant Soltau, for some months, will be at the piano, and the members of the club are eager ly anticipating this "special concert, which will include operatic airs and old favorites. Madame Kahey is being delightfully entertained by well-known Portland matrons, as she is especially charming and interesting socially. A dance will be given Thursday even ing in the Multnomah Hotel for em ployes of Whitfield, Whitcomb & Com pany, Manager William J. Piepenbrink having charge of the details.

Deputy Marshal Tichenor, Gamaunt, Meade, Kinney and Bendixen, were characterized as "class 4 patriots," referring to their status in the selective draft, who waited until "he was full of booze, in a little bit of a washroom of a sleeping-car, knowing he was full as a tick, to go in and 'get the goods' on him.' Here Mr. McCourt whirled to face Deputy United States Attorney Goldstein, heat edly attacking him for having consid ered the case when Deputy Marshal Tichenor laid It before him. "Ice-water runs through Goldstein's veins!" he shouted. "He hasn't got any more of the milk of human kindness in his veins than an iceberg! "Do you suppose a German prop agandist would be at large with a Ger man accent like this defendant has? He'd last about; a minute particularly if he said, "Once a German always a German.' (prman-bon Citizen Landed. "There hasn't been any disloyalty among the German-born citizens of this country." declared counsel for the de fense, "but many of .them have done their . duty regretfully, sorrowfully, with the greatest pangs, but they did it! "The defendant was too full to see. He was too drunk. He didn't know what they wene doing. Why. he didn't any more violate the law than if he had been sitting there and nobody had come along. When they got every thing out of him that they could pro voke him to, the brakeman and the porter put him to bed. "There was just about as much in tent on the part of Henry Albers i1 making those statements as there has. been in Mr. Haney or myself in repeat ing th-em before you. He is just poor old Henry Albers, who didn't have any ed ucation." Mr. McCourt then paid his respects to th Portland newspapers. declaring that the press already had convicted Mr. Albers, and pointed a shaking fin ger at the press table, where sat "the little reporter boys," aa he termed them. Again he retraced his steps and en larged upon the stories circulated against Mr. Albers when the war was young, declaring that these were suf ficient to excite the defendant's ani mosity. "Wasn't it enough to make the fellow sore? he asked the Jurors. He based further argument on the proposition that Mr. Albers. when he made the statements, was talking to men of strong American convictions, and that any argument of seditious character would consequently have no effect upon them. Prom this premise he argued that the indictment was un justified, as it was evident that the alleged statements of pro-Germanism were calculated to produce an opposite efect. An instant later he was scor ing the witnesses again as "class 4 patriots." who considered the "trap ping" of Mr. Albers to be their con tribution to the war. "They were uttered without intent," asserted the counsel for defense, "when he was heckled into it and when he was so drunk that he didn't know what he was saying." Spectators A re Disappointed. As the afternoon wore on and Mr. McGinn failed to appear, it was evident that Mr. McCourt was talking jigainst time, covering the same ground again and again, in order to support the re quest of the defense for an adjourn ment. Shortly after 4 o'clock he com pleted his argument, the adjournment was reluctantly granted, and the dis appointed spectators who were eager for the argument of Mr. McGinn filed down the stairs. It is certain tha't the case, which already has taken more than a week, will go to the jury this afternoon. Mr. McGinn's closing argument for the de fense will occupy the greater part of the morning session, which opens at 9:30 o'clock, following which United States District Attorney Haney will conclude the presentation of the Gov ernment's case, and Federal Judge Wol verton will instruct the jury. The case has occasioned wider interest than any to be tried before the federal Court in recent years. cik i- r-. ballroom has been reserved for the event, and it promises to be most in teresting.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. Tho kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to Irritate and inflame, causinff a burning, scaldinc sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times dur intr the uiKht. The sufferer is in con stant dread, the water pastes some times with a scaldinc sensation and is very profuse: agajn. there is difficulty In avoidlns it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While U is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a Rlass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three 'days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no loner is a source of irrlta.tlon to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act nor mally asrain. Jad Salts Is Inexpensive, harmless, and Is made from the acid of urapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid Irritation.
