TTIE MORNING OREGONIAK. SATURDAY, JULY .5, 1013. 0 BAKER WOULD GHAMBEPiLAIfJ DROP SUIT 'Move to Take Ouster Case Out of Court Voted Down by Albee, Daly, Dieck. motion of Commissioner Daly. Mr. Uieck's proposed increases were de ferred for 90 days. This action was backed up by Commissioners Baker. Daly and Bljcelow. MR. BIGELOW FAVORS PLAN Majority Considers Taking Question Vp "With Civil Service Board. Baker's Motion to Lot Shrln ers Fly Banner Defeated. It looked like old days in the City Council meeting- yesterday when Com missioner Baker, at the first session since he became Commissioner, caused the fur to fly in lively fashion when he butted up against some of the Coun cil's standing -policies, which, he de 'clared. are not based upon "good com mon sense." The first set-to came when Mr. Baker Insisted that the Council uphold him In a resolution he Introduced instructing City Attorney LaRoche to dismiss the suit now in the Supreme Court involv ing the removal of Russell Chamberlain, an elderly Grand. Army veteran, from the position of janitor at the City HalL Mr. Baker declared that he had in vestigated the case fully and wanted it dismissed inasmuch as it affected direct ly his department. The Council, with the exception of Commissioner Bigelow. heretofore has stood consistently with ex-Commissioner Brewster In appealing the case of the janitor to the court of last resort. Principle Said to Be InvlT-d. As soon as Mr. Baker presented his resolution an attempt was made to sidetrack it. Mr. Baker, as of old, went to bat and tried his best to head off deferment. Mayor Albee declared that the case Involved an important civil service question and was being appealed for that reason and not be cause of any desire to oust Mr. Cham berlain. "It's a mighty poor example to set at a time like this," declared Mr. Baker. Here is a man who has served his country and has given the best part of his life in serving the city. When he pets old he is kicked out on claim that he is unable to give full value for money paid. It is a mighty poor precedent for the City of Portland." "I'm. afraid you do not understand the circumstances in the case," said Mayor Albee. "I do not want to understand them then," retorted Mr. Baker. "As Com missioner of Public Affairs I want Mr. Chamberlain, who is in my department, to remain. If this case is decided against him he is out and there is. nothing I can give him without his taking a civil service examination along with others." Promise of Position Reiterated. Mayor Albee insisted that the per sonality of Mr. Chamberlain did not enter into the case. "It is a case in volving Important civil service Ques tions. I have said repeatedly that Mr. Chamberlain will be cared for if he loses his case." "But he will be out of civil service Jurisdiction," declared Mr. Baker. ""He will have no protection against future administrations. I don't think you un derstand the feeling in this community in this case. I have been over thin city from one end to the other and 1 know how the people feel." Commissioner Daly then made a motion that the resolution be held up until a conference could be had with, the Civil Service Board to determine whether or not Mr. Chamberlain could be kept under civil service if his case went against him in the Supreme Court. Mr. Baker protested and insisted that the Question be put to vote forthwith. He protested against any delay what ever. Mr. Daly put his proposition in the form of a motion and it carried by vote of three to two. Commissioner Dieck and Mayor Albee voted with Mr. Daly in holding tip Mr. Baker's demand until after a conference with the Civil Service Board. Civil Service Board to Meet. Immediately after, the Council ad journed Mr. Baker got in touch with members of the Civil Service Board and called a meeting for 5 o'clock. At this ses sion It was found that if the case in the Supreme Court is decided against Mr. Chamberlain he loses his position, and the Civil Service Board or the Council . are powerless to put him back except in a non-civil service position, which would assure him no continuity of service or. in other words, making his position purely political. Mr. Daly did not indicate his posi tion when this fact was brought forth, although Commissioner Baker tried to get him to express his opinion. He says he wishes to confer with City Attorney LaRoche. It is almost cer tain, however, that Mr. Baker will win Jiib fight and the Chamoerlain cane. btch has been the cause of trouble yj r nearly two years, will be dropped. Bannri Question Stirs. Fur again flew when Mr. Baker asked the Council to permit the Shriners to put a banner over a street for the coming convention. It was ex plained to him that the Council has adopted the policy of refusing to per mit any banners on the streets here after. "You want ( to make this a conven tion city and' then prohibit banners?" asked Mr. Baker. Commissioner Dieck said that the whole proposition was based upon the city beautiful . idea. "The policy is in the interest of an artistic city," ex plained Mr. Dieck. This aroused Mr. Baker again. "We ought to change our attitude." he said, "so that we can look a little at the life of the city on a common-sense basis and not pay so much attention to the art Furthermore I think one of the things we should look into at once is the proposition of so much efficiency and so few results." This was taken as a slap at Mr. Dieck's efficiency policies and his poli cies regarding special work in hla de partment which has been the cause of considerable discussion in recent months. ' Slap Made at Mr. Blxelow. Mayor Albee took a fling at Commis sioner Bigelow during a discussion of the request of Commissioner Dieck for Increases in salaries for some of his employes. The increases as proposed involved a total outlay of $175 a month for S2 employes. Mayor Albee and Mr. Dieck took the position that efficient service should be rewarded regardless of prosperous or hard times. Commissioner Bigelow took the stand that times are-not right for salary increases. "Business houses are cutting wages instead of increasing them." he said. "It's the wrong time to increase wages and especially when the city already is paying more wages than private concerns. "Mr. Bigelow. you voted rently for -the $3-a-day-minimum-wage ordinance for laborers?" asked Mayor Albee. "I did." replied Mr. Bigelow. "Do you know of any business house or private concern that is paying labor ers $3 a day?" asked the Mayor. Mr. Bigelow made no reply. On HOLDUP MAN DESCRIBED John Hamilton, Shot Three Times, May Escape WKhout Amputation. A description of the man who at tempted to hold up John Hamilton, bar tender of a saloon at 517 North Twenty first street, at 12:45 Thursday morning, was obtained by the police Thursday, and City Detective Leonard is working on the case. The man fired four shots at Hamilton, striking the bartender twice in the calf of the right leg and once in the left knee. The injured man was removed from the Good Samaritan Hospital yesterday, and it is not be lieved that it will be necessary to am putate either limb. The holdup man was 28 or 30 years old, slim and rawboned. He wore a . .. . ; , ' t , I " ' A ' .!

EXERCISE AND GRECIAN BEAUTY WHAT IT MEANS Many thousands of women are nor-a-days paying attention to. physical culture and the proper exercise of their body muscles, where, thirty years ago or fifty years ago there was no thought expended on this science, which is quite necessary to physical beauty. The reason the Greeks, both men and wom en, excelled In beautiful and symmet rical forms waa because of the atten tion they paid to the proper exercise.! Then, too, they were untrammeled by corsets, shoes and the inconveniences of clothing. To the minds of some women the Idea of physical exercise conveys only the Idea of hard fatiguing work. Mild exercise continued day aft er day is best for the body and spirits and health. Without proper exercise there can be no health, and without health there can be no real beauty.
