"Most of the camps are doing rail
road work now, preparatory to the
opening of the season," said Federal
Director Smith yesterday. "We have a
great demand for men along that line.
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." The cases
cited are typical of the great number
being received by the office.
Four electric linemen were sent to

"We are encountering a little diffi

are few and far between and no repre

the lad who left as good or better po-

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."

of Discriminating Against Em

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

of local No. 92, Commercial Telegra

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.

DR.AUSPLUNO ASKSPARDDH
GOVERNOR IS ASKED TO FREE
CONVICTED PHYSICIAN.
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.

FRANK PHELPS IS JAILED
WOMAN IN CASE RELEASED ON
OWN RECOGNIZANCE.
Soldier Returns I'roni Prance, He
Says, to Find That He Had Been
Wronged by Brother.
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."
