THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON SATURDAY. MAY 7. 1C21 COASTAL WIRELESS SCORED RELATIVE TO SEA DISASTER - Marine - disaster on the. Faelflc coast, such as that which occurred to the Japanese steamer Tpkuyo Maru Monday, may continue to re sult In lees of life unless wireless servieo at coastal stations i are im proved. In the opinion of John Ober, master , of the motor schooner Charlie Watson, which aided in Bali) Ins relief for the crew of the Jap steamer through interception of S. O. S. calls. ' ; Ober has sent a detailed report of the activity of his vessel in rendering; assist ance, to the Tokuyo Maru to the district communication superintendent of radio at Bremerton and a copy has also ten eV-nt to the Portland Chamber of Com merce.

B. calls from the Japanese steamer at 4 :23 p. m. and again at i :50 p. m., when the master of the steamer in distress said that he had to abandon shin. He says that A'orth Head was called several times without -reply. Then he called Marsh field. The latter transmitted the raes sags to North Head at & :05 p. m., 40 minutes after the distress call was sent out. - v - ' -. . Ober says that it seems strange to him tlial not one of the coast stations, where a constant watch is supposed to be' kept, heard this distress call, which was sent eut continuously ' for JO min utes. Especially he thinks it strange that North Head station did not pick up the call, inasmuch as it was only 41 miles from the nnxittnn of the Ts. kuyo Maru, while the Watson was 120 miles distant,. He thinks that even Marshfield and Tatoosh should - have heard the distress calls had they -been on watch. , . j-. - bEHVJCK CALLED RQTTEJT Ober "continues hip communication as fpliows r , ' " ' - , "The common, much abused eseuse that- they were at the time working' en a higher wave length seems in this case rather out of place, as the distress sig nals were eenj, continuously for 10 minute..- - - ..

Jtia body was in America, but his soul was always in Germany, before and during the war. "All lawyers will agree that where there Is any conflict of evidence upon a question of fact the decision of the jury is controlling. The record does show that there ws a sharp conflict upon the question of'Albers' intoxica tion. That being so, and the'jury having resolved that fact under proper Instruc tions, the appellate court has no other alternative but to accept as final the finding pf the jury. j Therefore, the ony pther question in this case is that of the admissibility of certain pro-German utterances of Albers before pur entrance in the war, such as : "One kaiser and one God.' " The stories of German atrocities are lies.' i "The American soldiers are amateurs and couldn't beat the Germans in a tnousand years." f 'Deutschlapd ueber alles.' DECI&IOST AFFUtJUEIl "During the trial of Marie Equi, sup ported as we were by the ruling of flther district judges throughout the country, we proved what she said in May, 1916, during1 the Preparedness day parade. The circuit court of appeals held,.hat this was admissible upon the question of Intent, and affirmed her conviction. "She thereupon petitioned the supreme court of the United States for a writ pf certiorari. While this petition was pend ing the circuit court of appeals had be fore it the appeal of Albers, wheVe there was raised the same question. "It withheld deciding the case for al most a year, waiting the decision of the supreme court in the Equi case, which would be decisive of the question. When the supreme court finaily refused to entertain Marie Equi's appeal, thus In effect affirming the decision of the lower courts, the circuijt court thereupon promptly affirmed the decision in the Albers case, saying 'that a like ruling must be made in this case unless the Equi case s to be overruled, which we are pot preared to do.' EflBOQ. COMMITTEP "In the face of all this,' with the au thority before him of ' the Equi case in the supreme court, with the authority of the unanimous opinion; of three judges of the circuit court of appeals in the Albers ase, it i almost unbelievable that a single person in the department ot f. HENRY ALBERS SCORED PROSECUTOR justice would ? undertake to usurp the functions of the supreme court by de ciding the conflicting decisions from 4 if ferent circuits..- ' - y There can be no ether conclusion but that Friersen has committed an error of judgment, and the universal condem nation his action has excited cannot be said to be unjustified." Judge Carey contends that the action of the department and of the court was taken against his objection made before the department and in open court and against his insistence that he had come to 'Washington ready and anxious to argue the matter and to abide by the decision, i , - . : HASDIED BY ASSISTANTS And, still further. Judge Carey states that Attorney General Daugherty had no hand in the matter, which was han dled by Assistant Attorneys General Herron and Stewart and Solicitor Gen eral Frier son in the regular routine of the department and, as a part of the duty delegated to them in the allocation of work before the department, "I did not become connected with the Albers case until after the trial in the district court," Judge Carey said , this morning. "I appeared with Judge Mc Court before the circutc court, of ap peals, and, after wa had failed there, asked for -a writ of certiorari, which was granted. I went to Washington to argue . the case on appeal . before the supreme court, convinced, from my ex- anatlon of the record, that Albers should not have been convicted and was entitled to an acquittal. aro Bauer filed "When I reached Washington, Judge Carey continued, "I found that the gov ernment had not filed a brief, and, upon inquiry as to whom I should see at the department of ' justice in reference to the matter, was referred to Assistant Attorney General . Herron. He teld .me that the department was 'fed up' on espionage cases, that they had examined the record 4? the' Albers case and that It seemed to be the worst of any (hat had come before them. "Herron tojd me.'? the judge said, "that because of a congested docket the case would not come before the court for a week, and that in the meantime they would hold a conference and determine what to do. He took my address and told me he would send the government's brief to me in case they prepared one. or in any event would Inform me of what action they intended to take in reference to it, , , MET FBIEBSON "I went to New York and when I re turned no word - had been sent me, so X went again to the department of justice and saw Assistant Attorney General Steward, under whose direction the espi onage cases had been handled- He told me that they had examined the record carefully, were convinced that ' Albers should not have been convicted and had determined to confess, error; before the supreme court, which would remand the case for retrial. "I protested against this," Judge Carey seated, "and Stewart told me that Solicitor General Frierson had then gone to court, where the case would be called at noon it was then not more than half an hour before that time and I hurried ever to the courtroom and met Frierson, whom I had : never met before, and insisted that I should be given an opportunity to present the case in argument to the court. I told him that, in my belief, Albers was entitled to an acquittal and, when he said he w-as not preparedte argue the case but that it had been determined to confess error, I asked permission to state my case to the court SQ INFLUENCE SHOWS' "I did' attempt to do this." and Judge Carey smiled as. he said It, "but the chief justice sat on me and everybody smiled, associate justices and spectators Included, . and I . sat down, for there waB nothing else for me to do. "There was no influence brought to secure the action of "the department," Judge Carey insisted. - "The matter was handled in the regular routine by those of the department, who have been hand ling espionage cases, and, so far as I know; Attorney General Daugherty had no knowledge of what action the solicitor general Intended to take." Judge Carey contends that the wide spread prejudice against Albers in the public mind is due to an entire miscon ception of the facts in the ease. FACTS 15 SUFFICIENT He maintains that, aside from the technical objections to the admission of certain evidence made by him, the main circumstances and facts upon which Al bers was convicted were not sufficient to warrant his conviction by the jury. Judge Carey insists the evidence shows Albers to have been plied with liquor by government agents until he was made helplessly drunk and that, after this had been done, his utterances were taken down in writing to be used against him. He insists that Albers har bored no disloyal Intent against the gov ernment and was not responsible for and did not remember anything' about what he had said at the time he made the statements upon which his convic tion was based. "If the public knew all the surround ing facts and circumstances of the case," Judge Carey says, "there would not be the prejudice against Albers that ex ists and it would not be believed that his conviction was justified.'' WITNESSES DEFENDED ; V After reading published statements quoting Carey, United States Attorney Lester W. Humphreys called Bert Ha ney, former federal : prosecutor, and asked him if the testimony of witnesses during the trial showed that anyone had offered Albers anything to drink or had tried to get him intoxicated in order to fain certain statements. Haney informed Humphreys thVt the government witnesses were reputable American citizens and that they had not stooped to any questionable means to extract statements from Albers, The testimony ) of witnesses showed, accord ing to Haney, that Albers had made the alleged disloyal remarks before any drinks were taken, and that the liquor used was furnished by Albers and not by members of the tarty. Following tha drinking Albers . is said to have re iterated . his former remarks in the Ger man language in the smoking apartment of the car in which he-was riding. In reply to' the published statement, Humphreys said; ' "Jt Is not Tight for the public to get the impression that the federal govern ment wept out to get Albers drunk and to get him to make disloyal statements." Humphreys added that be did not think it proper for Carey to abuse the govern ment witnesses by making statements to the press which conflicted with the trial evidence. - i Seaside Post Protest Seaside, Or., May 7.

Federal warrants have ' been - issued for the arrest of Howard Brown and George H- Nelson, who are charged with the theft. frOUB &0LDIE&S HELD Since Wednesday morning department of justice agents working under the direction of W. R. Bryon and Fiegel nave arrested four-soldiers, a woman and two civilians. Three of the soldiers, Austin E. Truman, Cleo C. Bain and Scotty Hardy, are held In solitary con finement at the guard house at Van couver barracks, and the other, Joseph Boyle, is held Incommunicado in the Multnomah county jail. The woman, Mrs. Estelle Clark, 88V4 Grand avenue, is also In the county jail. William W . smpmap, who was mesa man on the steamer Montague, was ar rested Friday night by department of justice . agents. Fiegel received word this morning that Carroll Everett, ant other alleged accomplice, was arrested in Astoria Friday. BE WARD OFFERED The army reward of $50 each has been offered for the arrest of Nelson and Brown. The drugs were stolen from the bar racks hospital, entrance to which was gained by breaking through a base ment window. The stolen property was taken to the home of a woman in Van couver, who has not been arrested, and stored there for several days. Identification of the men involved in the scheme to dispose of the drugs to addicts in Portland was made by Po lice Sergeant Epps, who arrested Boyle several days ago in the north end while he was endeavoring to sell a Chinaman three cans of the stolen drugs, Boyle at first refused to talk, but is said to have broken down and confessed under cross examination.. Through Boyle's confession the officers learned pf Mrs. Clark and arrested her, but .he nar? cotic. agents did not keep her in custody, SEEK WOMAN'S HELP According to later information the woman is said to have returned to her apartment after being released and to have destroyed a quantity of the stolen property concealed there.' She was re arrested. Fiegel said the soldiers under arrwt at Vancouver assisted in concealing the drugs after they were stoten. As none of the soldiers knew how to dispose ot the drugs, not being addicts, they are said to have asked Mrs. Clark to help them. She is said to have secured Everett, an alleged addict. Everett is said to have received some drugs from Brown and Nelson to sell but to have stolen more. Everett Is said also to have given Shlpraan the supply he had on hand. Although the soldiers ; under arrest have been charged with a violation of the narcotic act, it is probable that they will be given ' a military trial and not released to the civil authorities. Agents Miss Still But Find Liquor; Suspect Is Taken Federal prohibition agent heard that a country dance near Clatskanie every Saturday night was made merry by moonshine, so last Saturday they made a social call to find out who was violat ing the law.
