Kailroad machinists are wanted. Have just placed eight of them in shops in the city and on the road and can use 50 more, if we can get men who know something of locomotives."

"However, these cases are few and far between and no repre sentative business man will not give the lad who left as good or better po- . ition than he had at the time of his ' departure. All returning service men must be placed in the position held when they loft." City Commissioner C. A.

HENRY ALBERS C0NVITED (Continued From Fir.-t Pagp. elusive," said United States District At torney Haney. "that the United States court will punish any man. irrespective of his standing in a community, who is proved guilty of a crime. "This verdict is a complete answer to those radicals who continually ex press the opinion that the rich man can do or say anything and escape punishment while the poor man, under like circumstances, would be found guilty. Brother Expresses Regret. "The espionage czt was intended to prevent disloyally, and I am satisfied that there is not a jury in Oregon in a Federal court that would discriminate between rich and poor. The evidence in this case was conclusive. The only defense made was an appeal for sym pathy. Such is r.ot a good defense, and is indicated by the verdict." William Albers, one of the officers of the Albers Bros, corporation, of which Henry Albers was formerly an officer and director, expressed his regret at the outcome of t:.e trial. "My brother Henry is the oldest of several brothers," he said, "all of whom are loyal American citizens. He has had nothing to do with the manage ment of the company for a long time, and retired from the board of directors about the time he was indicted on this charge, and at present holds no stock or other interest in the company. The company is in no way responsible and should not be condemned by public opinion. "War AttK vies Itecalled. "All of the officers of the company have loyally supported the Government throughout the war and have sub scribed liberally to every patriotic fund, including the liberty bonds, the Red Cross and war work subscriptions. The company has no German stockholders and our officers have no family or business interests in Germany. I am deeply pained at the result of my -brother's trial. I had hoped that any utterances of his, made when he was not in control of his faculties, might be overlooked and forgiven. I did not hear the evidence, but I feel ure that he is not disloyal at heart. All of my brothers have lived here since youth. All Interest in America. "All of them excepting Henry married American girls, and their children were all born here. None of them have any interest in Germany, and we have no business connection there. Henry has been here for 28 years and I do not ee how he could be otherwise than American in sympathies, but he is the bachelor member of the family and has lived more or less alone. 'He had purchased a small country place and was intending to retire to country life when he got into this trouble. The reports that he said he was intending to return to Germany to live simply show how irresponsible he was at the time he made the remark." EAT A TABLET!

UNFAIR DEALING IS CHARGED TELEGRAPHERS TAKE VP THE CACSE OF FIGHTIXG 31 EX. Complaint Accuses Western Union of Discriminating Against Em ployes Called to War. Charges that the Portland Western Union Telegraph Company officials have started the practice of discrimi nating against returned soldiers who were former employes were made yes terday by C H. Preston, Sr., secretary of local No. 92, Commercial Telegra phers' Union of America. "I have just had called to my atten tion," said Mr. Preston, "the case of D. Hi Alvord, 4021 Forty-second avenue Southeast, who has just been dis charged from the Army. When he was drafted the Western Union made a strong protest and insisted they needed his services. He was then drawing $121 a month, I understand. When he ap plied for reinstatement they demurred at first, but finally offered him $80 a month. He did not go to work. He tells me he worked 9 14 years for the Western Union and will not go back to work, at $80 a month. "A returned eoldier by the name of Vandenberg.

Doctor Is round Guilty of Man slaughter and Sentenced to From One to 15 Years in Prison. Dr. A. A. Ausplund. convicted of manslaughter in 1915. following the death from an illegal operation on a youngr woman In his office, seeks a pardon from Governor Wlthycombe. his attorney, Conrad P. Olsen, notifying District Attorney Evans to this etrect yesterday. Dr. Aufeplund has served none of his sentence or rrom one to 15 years, his case being now pending in the United States Supreme Court. On October 15. 1915. Anna Anderson died in the office of Dr. Ausplund while undergoing an operation. The physician was arrested and indicted on a charge of manslaughter. His trial resulted in a conviction, following. which he made an appeal to the Su preme Court of Oregon. The convic tion was there sustained and a fur ther appeal was taken to the United States Supreme Court. The appeal for a pardon will be op posed by the District Attorney on the grounds that it is undeserved and would be a bad example to place be fore other physicians who specialize in illegal operations, and whose prose cution is a matter of great difficulty. Mr. Evans will point out. also, that a pardon would not be proper while the case is pending adjudication in the highest court. Gounod's Beautiful Opera Pleases Large Audience. Artistic Treat Given Portland Tropic at the Auditorium. IT is not easy to estimate the artistic and educative worth, to a commun ity, of two 6uper-excellent grand operas, such as "Romeo and Juliet" (Gounod) and "Aida" O erdi). so at tractively presented yesterday after noon and evening, respectively, in ine Public Auditorium, by the San Carlo Grand Opera Company. People who have been fortunate enougn to attend the performances, so far, are in luck. To duplicate such opera treats as we are now experiencing this week, we should have to travel far. Grand opera is a necessary part in every one's musical education. Opera audi ences at the Auditorium have been large, but the building has not been taxed to capacity. In comparing the performances of the San Carlo Company with those of larger companies notably the New York Metropolitan the San Carlo stands favorable comparison, so far as soloists, modest music-aims, scenery and costumes, are concerned when one takes into account the cheaper prices for admission charged In Port land. There Is the same earnest grand opera effort, at least, with the smaller company. We are reasonably familiar with Gounod's opera. "Romeo and Juliet." It was presented twice with great suc cess not long ago by the- Portland Opera Association. Yesterday's rendi tion of the opera was. of course, more finished, more cohesive because it was the work of trained professionals used to it every day. There is a wide difference between professional opera stars and amateurs, and this is speaking kindly of all amateurs. Shakespeare wrote "Romeo and Juliet" as a pure, romantic love tory. and Gounod, in opera, has fashioned it in glorious, opulent music. The fine sentiment expressed in "Romeo and Juliet" specially endears it to all thoughtful women. The San Carlo staged the opera with lavish detail. Signorina Queena Mario, coloratura soprano, is one of the loveliest and daintiest Juliets seen here. She is petite and girlish in appearance, and has a charming but not strong voice of splendid quality and carrying power. She sang artistically in the balcony scene, which, this time, had no silken ladder attachment. A new tenor, Romeo Bascaccl, good looking, with a classical Italian pro file, and with a silken, agreeable quality of lyric tenor voice, was the Romeo. He sang high C. with fine effect. He comes from Rome. Italy, and ang in this city on the last visit of the Boston Opera Company. Ho makes a distinguished, ideal Romeo. Rossini, as Tybalt, and Antola, as Mercuric did especially artistic work. The chorus, composed of good sing ing voices, pleased immensely, and the whole production was applauded. The orchestra interpreted the lovely mu sic with magical, haunting effect. The cast: Juliet Stephano (.iertrutie RoniPo Tybalt Men-utio JrpRorio C'apulct Krn-e Laurent . .

Prank Phelps was arrested at Bull Run yesterday on a statutory ihargc. Behind this brief statement lies the sor did story of the weakness of the wom an left behind by her soldier husband and the perfidy of a brother, if allega tions are facts. Eva Phelps, who was Indicted joint ly with Frank Phelps, her brother-in-law, was arrested Tuesday and released on her own recognizance. The man is held at the County Jail in lieu of J150U bail. Elmer Phelps, husband of Eva Phelps, told the grand jury that he had been wronged by his brother, Frank, while he had answered his country's call and Frank had stayed at home. The sol dier's home had been at Uresham. There he left his wife and three children in Peccnibcr, 1S1T, when he enlisted in the Joth Engineers. After service abroad Elmer Phelps was discharged on January 11. 1 9 1 !. He returned to his home. A missent letter which fell into his hands, some idle gossip, and a suspicion grewr He was not certain that his brother had been true to his trust. Something confirmed his worst fears and he visited District Attorney Evans. "I miKht have foraiven and forcotten had Frank left." he told Mr. Evans, "but this stale is too small f-r us both."
