Road Row
Is Heard

Arguments in the highway con-
troversy brought by the citizens OF
independence and Dallas against
the Polk county court, the state
highway commission and the con-
tractors to maintain the original
route of the Pacific highway as set
by the law of 1917 were heard this
morning by Judge Percy Kelly,
who was selected to hear the case,
The controversy arises over the
state highway commissions pro-
posal to change the original Pa
cific highway route which led
from Portland, Amity, Dallas, and
through Independence south to
Corvallis to direct route through
Holmes Gap, Rickreall, Monmouth
and Luckiamute, leaving Dallas
and Independence on branch roads.
The citizens of Independence
and Dallas contend that the route
of the Pacific highway was fixed
by law through the referendum of
the people in 1917 and that the
state highway commission has no
authority to change the plans.
The other side of the controver-
sy holds that the state highway is
empowered by statute to change
the route as it sees fit, particular
ly if the changes makes it more
direct and at a saving to the pub
lie.
Contracts entered into by the
state highway commission and the
Polk county court and also suit
against the same court for allow
ing indebtedness for road work
amounting to over $4,000 without
being referred to the people will
be considered by Judge Kelly be-
fore a decision is reached.

Albers was tried in the federal
district court, Portland, found
guilty and sentenced to three
years Imprisonment and a fine of
$4,000 for alleged disloyal utter
ances during the war, some of
which were charged to have been
made while travelling in a train
from San Francisco to Portland.
The case was appealed to the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals, San Francisco which
sustained the verdict.
A few weeks ago, counsel for
the department of justice, Wash
ington, d. c., confessed error in
the case which was pending be-
fore the United States supreme
court and the court ordered a re-
trial, which was postponed on
July rs on account of the defend
ants illness.
Because of the wealth, prom
inence and business standing OF
Albers, the case aroused great
interest in Oregon.
]. Henry Albers was born In
Lingen, Germany, in 1866 and
came to the United States in 1891,
locating in Portland. He was a
miller by trade and in 1895 he
formed a partnership with his
brother Bernard and Thomas
Scheider in the flour milling
business. Subsequently Henry
and Bernard Albers bought
Schneider's interest and taking in
three others brothers, George,
Frank and William, they re-
organized the company as Albers
Brothers. They acquired mills In
Seattle, Tacoma and San Fran
cisco and developed a huge and
profitable business. J. Henry
Albers retired from the firm, OF
which he was president, about
two years ago. He was prominent
socially and in fraternal orders.
"A few weeks ago, subsequent to
the action of the United States
supreme court on his case, Albers
suffered a stroke Of paralysis on
the left side, coupled with total
blindness. His physical condition
was such that on Monday last the
United States district attorney
asked Attorney General DaughT
erty for leave to postpone action
until the defendant was able TO
appear in court.

the probability of the eventual is

that he will not renew the cam
