ROBERTS CHOICE" MAY Be
SOLD At PUBLIC AUCTION
S. ]. Masters Asks Court to Adopt This
Method of Settling Claims.

Samuel ]. Masters has instituted pro-
ceedings in equity. through Attorneys
Wilton J. Lambert and d. W. Baker.
against Thomas Campbell and twenty
five other defendants for the purpose of
compelling the sale OF certain property
in the District known as part of Rob
ert's Choice" located near the Piney
Branch Road and Brightwood Avenue,
near Brightwood.
1t is set forth that certain of the de-
PENDANTS were originally the owners. as
tenants in common, of the property re-
ferred to, and executed a deed in trust
to Charles ]. Simms. The latter, it is
said, attempted to make partition OF
the land among the persons said to be
entitled TO it.
One OF the persons who IL is claimed
had an interest in the property and
Joined in the conveyances to Charles
]. Simms is said to have previously
conveyed her undivided interest in the
property to Rufus Morrison, through
whom Mr. Masters claimed to have be-
come entitled to an uniivided one-sixth
interest in fee simple in the whole Of
the property.
1t is further averred that partition in
kind owing to the size of the land is
impracticable. The court is asked to
decree that a sale be made at public
auction, and that for this purpose trus-
tees may be appointed to sell and con-
vey and that the proceeds may be di-
vided among the claimants. The entire
property is said to consist of about
eleven acres of ground.

tion's grievances against both of the
others for attempting TO exercise au-
thority over shops and workmen over

The matter was satisfactorily adjusted
between Mr. O'Connell and Mr.. Sher-
man. The latter decided to stop at
several Eastern cities. where the ma
chinists have begun to protest against
Interference of the United men. and will
put an end to the trouble.

CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR LUDLOW SCHOOL
Burgess & Parsons the Sue
ceSSful Bidders.
REASONS FOR THE AWARD
Commissioner Macfarland Says 1t Is
for the Best Interests of
the District.

Commissioner Macfarland this morning
approved the recommendation of the
Acting Engineer Commissioner relative
to the contract for building the William
Ludlow School, at Sixth and G Streets
northeast. and Burgess & Parsons Will
receive the award, upon their bid of
s4O,T19
AS printed in The Times of August
IS, Commissioner Macfarland withheld
his approval of the papers, for the rea-
son that the proceedings, prima facie,
were irregular. The Commissioners asked
for two classes OF bids for the building.
one of buff brick and natural stone. and
one of red brick and artificial stone.
Bids on Compromise.
After these bids had been opened, it
was decided that red brick and natural
stone "a compromise between the two
former specifcations) would be prefer
able. Consequently Burgess e. Parsons,
low bidders on one of the former speci-
fications, were asked to estimate on the
compromise.
1t was suggested that such proceed
ure savored of partiality and that the
low bidder on the other of the former
specifications should have been given a
chance to bid on the compromise. in
support of his approval of the papers,
Commissioner Macfarland says:
Best for the District
81 have approved the first indorse-
ment, after making full inquiry. / am
satisfied that the recommendation is best
for the District of Columbia and fair TO
the different bidders. The only persons
who could possibly object to the pro-
posed arrangement as unfair to their in
terests would be the two contracting
firms whose bids stand next in order 10
that of the lowest bidder.
Neither of these firms objects, but,
on the contrary. both. understand, ap-
prove. and neither firm regarded itself
as entitled to be considered after the
bids were opened as a competitor with
the lowest bidder for furnishing natu-
raj rather than artificial stone.''
