making it a felony for any eonvict t

sist others in escaping. There is no
law in Oregon at present making it a
crime to escape or attempt to escape
from the pen. Should the bill become
a law, a convict that escapes and is
capturod, or one that attempts to es

The bills offered by Mr. Sheldon
were drawn by Warden Stevens and
Frank Davoy and are for the purpose
of correcting somo of the many evils
surrounding the management of vhe

Statement
Portland. Felb. 8. Since the Jury
found Honry Albers guilty on two of
the
seven counts in tho amiictmeni
Tany has been busy looking after its
"fences."
It appears that Henry Albers, who
i never did own more thnn ten per ent
of the stock of the Albers tiros.
Milling company, is now absolutely out
of it, his shares having been bought
by other pooplo some tune ago. It is
rumored that some of tho leading em
ployes of the concern wore among the
purchasers.
Just what effect, if any, the Henry
Albers caso will have on the business
of the company, is a matter of spec
ulntion. "Tho difference between Honry Al
bers and his brothers," said a man,
who is generally well informed on ev-
!erything'iu tho trade, "was that Hen
jry reuiuiuea a oucueiur unu urn nut
have the opportunity ot nome asiwci
ations. "His brothers all married American
girls. They have all been fathers of
children who will be American citi'
zens by their birthright and with- ev
ervtliine near and dear to them Amer
ican, they are just naturally ihorouKU-
ly .American im-inBjvo.
"Henry Albers was the oldest by
some years. The memory of the old
country wag naturally stronger with
him and he nrver had the advantage
of an American wife to cilucato him to
American ideals.
"There may be a little flurry of
sentiment, eaused by Henry Albers,
that will affect the milling company
temporarily, but the company's ser
vice flag .carried just one hundred and
two star and the emnioyes, who nrc
loyal Americans, are at the same time
loyal to tho company.
"The employes know the inside bet
ter than the public, of course, and
when they stick and fight for the on
certi a they are doing, everything
must be all right on tho inside."
nj:'aking fotr 4ho fockhoblers on
the company, who now number nine
ty five, William Albers said:
"My brother Henry the oldest of
evernl brothers, all of whom are loyal
Amrican citizens. Ho has bad nothing
tn Ar. with tho management of the
company for a long time, and retired
from tho board of directors about the
time he was indietea on mis ciiarB,
and at present holds no stock or other
interes) in the company.
Th pomminv it in no way rewon
sible and should not be condemned by
public opinion. All of the officers of
the company have loyally supported
the government throughout the war
nd have liberally subscribed to every
natriotic fund, including tho liberty
bonds, the Red Cross, and th
work subscriptions. The company has
no German stockholders ana our am
eers have no family or ftusuiess inter
rata in Germany.
"I am deeply pained at the result
of my brother's trial, of eoursa, I had
hoped that any utterances of his, made
when ho was "not in control of his ac
uities, might be overlooked and for
given. I did not- hear the evidence, but
I feel sure that he is not disloyal at
' heart. All of my brothers have lived !
here since youth.
"They all, excepting lieury, mar
ried Americas girls aid their chil
dren were born here None of them
have any interest in Germany, and we
have no fcusiness connection there.
Henry himself has been here for twen
ty eight years, and I d not see 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 smaU country place and was intend
ing to retire to country life when he
got into this trouble se the reports
that he said he was intending to re
turn to Germany to live simply show
how irresponsible he was at the time
ho said this.'! .
