V HAT'S the purpose of this or wV dinance," asked Commissioner Dieck yesterday when the Council clerk at the regular weekly session called up the measure proposed by Commissioner Baker to abolish the Municipal Free Employment Bureau, of which C. E. Chrlstensen is euperintendent. "Well," replied Mr. Baker, "inasmuch as Mr. Chrlstensen, who has charge of the bureau is here today. I will say that the purpose of the ordinance is to get rid of him." "A technical means of getting around civil service, isn't it?" asked Mayor Albee. "Yes." eaid Mr. Baker. "Mr. Chrls tensen is a hard worker and an honor able gentleman, but he is simply not big enough for the work I want hia bureau to do. There are no charges to prefer against him." "Looks to me like a bad civil service precedent," said- Mayor Albee. "It is an administrative matter," re plied Mr. Baker. "If I have to run the bureau with Mr. Chrlstensen in charge I will not have the bureau in my de partment. I will ask to have it trans ferred. As long as I am responsible I want results. Help me get rid of Mr. Christensen or take the bureau away." Mr. Christensen got up to offer a few words of explanation. He said it was the first intimation that Mr. Baker was so desirous of getting rid of him. 'Pretty good opportunity for you to save the day by resigning, isn't it?" asked Mayor Albee. "I can't see why anyone would want to stay in a job where there is friction of that kind," interposed Commissioner Dieck. So Mr. Christensen, with the invita tion to resign put up to him in this positive way, took it under considera tion until tomorrow. War Tangles Justice Aspect in Damage Suit Jury. Can Native of Germany Give Fair Verdict With Russian as Plaintiff t Is Puzzling Issue. CAN a native of Germany sitting on a jury give a fair verdict in a suit in which a Russian is the plaintiff? Circuit Judge Davis had to decide this knotty question yesterday. Legally, the question is this: Does the fact that the juror was born in Germany consti tute a "challenge for cause"? James Walton, Jr., attorney for the plaintiff, thought it did. Judge Davis said he believed the court would have to be bound by the juror's statement if he said he thought he could give a fair verdict and would not be preju diced because Russia and Germany are at war. Mrs. Faina Nurmosky, who lives near Moscow, Russia, is suing Fuller & Bain, the Oregon Electric Railway Company and Twohy Bros, for $20,000 damages because her son. Constantin Nurmosky, was killed while, working on the rail road near Orenco, Or., June 14. 1913. Three men on the Jury first called were Germans by birth or parentage.

FATHER IS STILL SILENT Little Lads round Koamin; Streets In Filthy Condition Are Embar rassed by Clean Clothes as Mother's Sister Is Met. Albert and Lloyed Schlappi, the 4 and 5-year-old waifs who were found roam ing the streets of. Portland in a piti fully filthy condition by Juvenile Court officers last week, found a home yes terday. Miss Rosy Seaman and Alfred Seaman, aunt and uncle of the little fellows, arrived from Dilley, Or., and took Albert and Lloyd back with them on a late train. The waifs have been in the Frazier Detention Home since last Thursday night- Still no word has been heard from Arthur Schlappi, their father, who left them in care of Edgar Smith, 530 Couch street, early in July. "We have not heard from him. We don't know where he is," said Miss Seaman yesterday. Her sister is the mother of the two little boys. State Not Known to Relatives. "We didn't know where they were We hadn't heard from them at all, until I saw the article in Sunday's paper. I was going to cut it out and mall it to daddy, who was down at Wheeler fishing, but he saw it, too. and sent me a clipping," suid Miss Seaman. The condition of the boys was the sreult of the separation of their parents. Early in June Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schlappi. then living at Wheeler, separated. Two children remained with Mrs. Schlappi, and two went with the father. According to the story told by Edgar Smith, who nominally had charge of the boys when the Juvenile Court offi cers found them, he met Mr. Schlappi on a steambat coming up the Columbia River about July 1. Mr. Schlappi wanted to go to Walla Walla to look for work and left the boys with Smith, agreeing to pay him for keeping them. Xelglibors Make Complaint. - A few weeks ago neighbor and busi ness men in the vicinity of Sixteenth and Couch streets began complaining about the little waifs. Mrs. June Nissen, of the Juvenile Court, went to Investigate. She met Smith and his invalid wife and they told her, she says, that the children's mother was worth considerable money and they proposed to keep them. This aroused a suspicion that the waifs had been kidnaped. Too bashful to talk, the little fellows, clad in clean clothes and with their hair clipped "close, were led Into the Juvenile Court rooms yesterday and Introduced to their aunt.
