Mr. Baker Introduces Act to
"Fire" City Employe.
Commissioner Wants C. K. Christen
Bon, Superintendent of Municipal
Employment liureau. Removed
from Office. If He Is to He Re
sponsible for the Bureau.
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.
'ROLL' BRINGS NEGRO GRIEF
Wealth Display in Xorth Knd Causes
Stir but Jail Looms Soon.
"I was sweeping out the house and I
saw the bills under the carpet. I
thought they were Confederate bills."
was the excuse of John Lucas, colored,
when he appeared before Circuit Judge
Gantenbeln yesterday charged with
stealing seven $20 bills. He pleaded
guilty.
Lucas was arrested while he was
creating a sensation among his brethren
In the North End with an unusual dis
play of wealth. Investigation showed
that the roll of yellow bills in his
pocket came from a house where he
had been employed as Janitor. The
"roll" amounted to $105 when the
police found him.

HOME GIVEN WAIFS
Schlappi Boys Taken by Their
Aunt and Uncle.
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.
SUED WIFE ASKS FOR AID
Woman in West Virginia Replies to
Charge of Desertion.
Alone with her 7-year-old child In
West Virginia, Mrs. Jessie May Newby
has asked the county board of relief
in Portland for J5.50 with which to
file an answer to the divorce suit
brought by her husband, Ross M.
Newby, In this city.
la ux affidavit presented to the
board yesterday by Attorney Herbert
Marx, Mrs. Newby says that her hus
band left her at Wheeling, W. Va., six
years ago, to come to Portland. He
promised to send for her in three
months, she said, but after two years
he stopped writing. For four years
she has not heard from him directly,
she swears, and the receipt of sum
mons in the divorce suit was the only
word she had of the action.
Mrs. Newby says she is without
means to support herself properly, or
to prosecute the suit, or even to put
in an appearance, which costs $5.50
.Newby is a plasterer by trade. His
