Hudson of Eugene is not the father of his own children, a daughter aged 11, and a son aged 16. For the state industrial acci dent commission, following a ruling by Assistant Attorney-General Alexander, has held that the two children are or phans, fatherless and motherless, de spite tne fact that the two children are now living with their father. This unusual case was brought to light today week when the industrial acci dent commission awarded the- two chil dren $15 a month compensation as a re sult of the death of their stepfather in Portland two years ago. Father Gaardlaa of Calldrea. A history cf the case shows that Mrs. Maretta J. Hudson was divorced from W. W. Hudson several years ago at Eu gene. She procured custody of the two children and some time later married Charles Buck, who was employed by the Portland Bridge & Building Com pany at Portland.

Their own father then went to Portland where he obtained appoint ment as their guardian through County Judge Taswell. He then took his chil dren back to Eugene to live. Case Sets Preeedeat. Inasmuch as the commission had de cided the children were entitled to com pensation as a result of the death of their stepfather it stili holds to this de cision, and upon advice from the attorney-general's office, classes the two children as orphans and allows them the full $15 monthly which is awarded to children who have lost both father and mother. The children are entitled to this amount until they become 16 years old. but the boy recently reached this age and consequently receives a lump sum payment of $156.60. The girl will re ceive $15 a month for the next five years. This is said to De tne iirst case on record with this commission in which a father, in the eyes of the law, is classed as nothing more than a stranger to his children, and in which the children re ive the full compensation awarded to orphans, even though they have the protection of and are living with their atural father.
