CRlTICISES CIVIL SERVICE
City Assessor Finds Flaws In Letter
Addressed to the Conn.,
mission

City Assessor Evan Lewis has but
little use for civil service and prac-
tically said so in two rather saucy let
ters addressed to the civil service COM
mission yesterday.
Assessor Lewis takes exceptions to
the recent classification of the commits
sion whereby mapmaker in his office
may be eligible, through promotion, to
chief deputy. Mr.. Lewis declared he
did not believe the chief deputyship
should be under civil service. but that
as long as it was a competitive exam
nation should be held for the position.
He asked sarcastically for informa-
ton from the commission on what
course he should pursue when appli-
cants certified for positions in his de-
partment absolutely refused to take
the Jobs. He wanted to know how he
could force them to accept positions.
A. A. Bayley, who has done consider
a BILE work In the assessors office and
who was again recently certified for a
position, seems to have much the same
effect on the assessor as red rag on
a bull. He declared Bayley was in
competent and intimated that he would
not accept him.

MAYOR At LUNCHEON
GIVES REMOVAL ORDERS
IN CAFE MISS JONES' KNELL is
SOUNDED
Director Marshutz, Host at Little
Spread, TestIhes That Exeeutlv,
Agreed to Find cause" for Libra.
rlsn's DeoapItatlon

Library Director Msrshutz, one Of the
men who Is on trial by the council In
the library investigation. was put on
the stand in the continued hearing Of
the investigation last evening and was
the only witness examined. His tes-
timony was not completed last night
and Will be resumed at the continued
hearing next Tuesday evening.
The most interesting part OF Mr.. Mar
shutz' testimony was his refutatlon Of
the mayors charges that he had asked
to be appointed to the board.
Mr.. Marshutz declared that he had
repeatedly visited the mayor and asked
him to reappoint DR.. Hecht, but that
the mayor had refused to do so.
Mr.. Marshutz claimed that the first
intimation he had that he was con-
sldered by the mayor as an appointee
to the board when he read In one OF
the Los Angeles newspapers while on
visit to San Francisco.
His testimony also involved the
mayor as one of the important factors
In the removal Of Miss Jones.
Mr.. Marshutz declared that the
mayor took lunch with himself and
Directors Dockweller and Trueworthy
at one of tho downtown cafes when the
subject of a change of Librarians was
the directors to ask Miss Jones for her
resignation and If she refused to resign
to remove her.
What cause shall we give her for
her removal?" Mr.. Marshutz says he
asked the mayor.
You remove her and I will find the
cause" was the mayors answer, ac-
cording to the witness.
Mr.. Marshutz was host at this
luncheon, and when the bill was pre-
sented to him he claims the mayor
said:
Are you going to pay this bill out Of
your own pocket? Don't do it. This Is
an official meeting of the library board
and the bill should be paid from the
library funds"

AGED GERMAN IS LOST;
PERHAPS MAN Is HURT
DAUGHTER PLACES HIM IN CARE
OF MoToRMAN
AS Chicagoan's Wife Died Recently
and His Spirits Were Depressed
His Disappearance Causes Some
Alarm--PoIlce on Lookout

Edward Snider, an aged German,
boarded a south bound Pico Heights
car at First street and Broadway yes
terday afternoon and though left In the
care of the motorman has not been seen
since.
Able to speak but little English
Snider Is thought to be wandering
about the city or may have fallen into
the company of unscrupulous persons.
When Miss Emma Snider, daughter
of the missing man, reported the affair
to the police last evening, she ex-
pressed grave concern regarding his
welfare When Snider was assisted to
the car he had large sum of money.
Miss Snider and her father arrived
in Los Angeles Monday noon. They
went to the Colorado house at 621h
South Broadway. Being fatigued by
their long trip from Chicago they re-
mained in their rooms nearly all the
day.
Most of the morning yesterday they
spent in roaming about the city. Sni
der expressed himself as being tired
and his daughter told him to take an
electric car to Sixth street and Broad
way. Miss Snider helped her father on
the car and told the notorman to let
him off at Sixth street
Ten minutes later Miss Snider ar
rived at Sixth street, but did not find
her father. She searched all the busi-
ness houses in the district and made
inquiry but could learn nothing. It was
then that she came to the conclusion
that the carman had failed to notify
her father that he had reached his des-
tination.
Early last evening Miss Snider
called at the central police station. The
police detailed men on the case but up
to a late hour last evening were un-
able to locate the old man. The police
do not believe that Snider has met with
foul play but think him merely lost.
Snider Is a German and speaks but
little English. He is about feet 8
inches tall; weighs about 1856 pounds; is
6S years of age; medium gray mus
tache; bald on top of head; wore a
black suit of clothes with band of
Grape on the left sleeve of the coat. and
a black hat.
Another theory that Is looked upon
as possible by the police, which was
brought out after some work OH the
case last night, is that Snider is labor
ing under temporary arrangement. Re-
Gently his wife died and he has been
greatly depressed over her death.
