O. Frazier, sub stltute teacher, whose place was, filled recently by a teacher regu- laxly elected by the school board. Parker Js accused of cruelty, .It being . alleged that the principal threshed Her man Olson, a seventh grade boy. last Tuesday, so severely that the stripes - showed on his back nearly three days later. , The threshing came, as a culmin- ation of the recent school 'strike.

JURY JS GIVEN CASE A INVOLVING DAMAGES FOR 'FALSE ARREST' i. Sum of $5000 Asked From Two Portland Policemen by George Christ, Plaintiff. The jury retired at noon today in the $5000 damage suit or false arrest brought against Alpha Burkhart and Isaac Darrow,' Portland policemen, by George Christ. Closing arguments for Christ were made by John W. Kaste. Although peace has not been formally declared Circuit Judge Morrow denied a motion made Thursday by Deputy City Attorney Myers to have a directed verdict for the defense on the ground that Christ is an senemy alien and not entitled to sue in the courts of , this country. The motion was based upon the enemy trading act, a war time measure shutting the courts to enemy aliens, which Myers contended is still in effect. It was shown that Christ and his three brothers had all claimed exemption from service on the grounds that they were Turkish subjects. Both Kaste and Henry McGinn, at torneys for Christ, flayed the police for their alleged brutal treatment of Christ at the time of his arrest last June. Myers and Seneca Fouts, defending the officers, laid stress' upon Christ's re fusal to enter the service and character ised him as a slacker. $50,000 Suit Begun Selection of a jury In. the 150.000 libel suit brought against the Telegram Pub lishing company by Alsamon Ira Lucas was begun this morning in Circuit Tuck er's court.

Decision as to whether or not Charles Henry Cheney, dty planner, jWlll be hired for the year of 1920 at a salary of 9300 a month, working a week's time each month, will, be determined by the City council within the next two or three days. . . j . . Members of the city council, except Mayor Baker, met with the planning commission Thursday afternoon and urged that the council rehire , Cheney, as well as being allowed $1500 additional for the services of a draftsman. Their budget set for the coming years Is $6000. "I consider it i the poorest kind of business policy to hire Cheney or any other man. at $14,400 a year to work but quarter time," asserted Commissioner Pier. I believe we can secure a capable local engineer who will work full time for less money. A, E. Doyle, member of the planning commission, declared that unless Cheney was retained or an expert as capable hired that the city planning commission might as well resign from its duties. Ths . sum asked by Cheney is not large for such service as he Is render ing," declared J. P. Newell, member of the planning commission. "His work - is technical, work that requires expert knowledge."
