SEEKS TO PREVENT
SALE OF AVENUE SITE
Judge Ansberry Asks Court to Con-
serve His Right to Share
in Profits.

Timothy T. Ansberry today filed in
the District Supreme Court a suit for
Injunction against Victor J. Evans,
Bestor r. Walters and Ezra Gould.
Mr.. Ansberry claims an interest in
certain real estate held by the de-
PENDANTS and seeks to prevent the clos
ing of a sale which. he says. is about
to be contaminated.
Judge Ansberry says he and the de-
PENDANTS entered into an agreement in
December. 1915. to buy property on
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. be-
tween 18th and 18th streets. as a site
for a banking institution then pro-
posed.
The bank scheme was abandoned, he
states. but. without his knowledge, the
defendants bought the land for $4,000
and are now about to sell 1t for $24 900.
He says they deny his right to share
in the property. although he has always
been willing to pay one-fourth of the
purchase price under the terms of the
agreement.
The plaintiff declares the property Is
worth $4,000. He wants the sale pre-
vented and a decree declaring him en-.
titled to one-fourth interest in the land
Attorneys Ellis & Donaldson repre-.
sent the plaintiff.

CHANGE IN THE METHOD
OF OVERTIME INQUIRY
Investigation of Women's Labor
Troubles at Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing May Begin Today.

Some change in the method Of pro-
cedure in the Investigations Of condi-
tons of overtime labor for woman en-
printing appears to have been deter
mined upon. What this change is men,
bers Of the Investigating committee and
officials Of the Treasury Department
will not now announce.
1t seems probable, however, that the
Treasury Department will proceed to
adjust any conditions Of labor which
appear to work hardship on the wom-
an employees without recourse to long
hearings for receiving complaints.
The records of the bureau of engraving
and printing indicate fully the hours
of labor performed by every employe
and also bear annotations of incidents
and special conditions attending such
labor.
The committee of investigation, consist
ing Of Q. T. Crosby. assistant secretary
Of the Treasury; Oscar A. Price. auditor
for the Interior Department. and James
Wilmeth. chief clerk Of the Treasury De-
partment, may assemble this afternoon as
scheduled. at the bureau. Miss Jeanette
Rankin, representative from Montana, who
holds a brief for complainants. may also
be present 1t is doubtful. however, if
any Of the woman employees will be asked
to bear testimony before II.
More likely there will be a confer
ence between the committee. Miss Ran
kin and Director Ralph. at which the
suggestion for a simpler and more i'm
mediate remedy will be discussed and
decided upon.
Director Ralph declined this morn
ing to discuss. the further charges Of Rev
E. Albert Cook. pastor of Capitol
Heights Congregational Church. direct
ed against his management of the bu-
reau.

"Other like instances of numbering and
lynching have occurred in the state OF
Illinois and other states due either to
lack Of order or to the failure Of off,
Gals to do their sworn duty in the pro-

who instigated and melted the mob and
the names of those in the mobs

MAKES Thirteen CHARGES
I AGAINST DIRECTOR RALPH
Rev. E. Albert Cook Again Says Ex-
cessive and Needless Overtime Is
Demanded Of Bureau Workers.

Rev. E. Albert Cook. acting pastor of
the Capitol Heights Congregational
Church. in his sermon last evening
made thirteen charges against Director
Joseph E. Ralph of the bureau of en-
craving and printing. Among his
charges were:
That Director Ralph required excess
sive overtime work of bureau employees,
including women, without advantage to
the government, and with great detri-
ment to the workers themselves, when
he could readily have farmed out the
work to private concerns.
That he demanded the designations
Of faithful employees who could not
work twelve hours or longer, and of
falsely announcing to the press that
Sunday work was voluntary when It
was compulsory.
That he has been the cause of many
deaths and of i'll health of thousands
because of unnecessary overtime work.
and that he has made tho bureau an in.
cubator of tuberculosis.
That he has refused to give transfers
to employees who wished to escape the
dangers to their health and go to other
departments.
That he spent much time making
trips to Cuba to assist in the orRaniza-
ton of plate-printing plant that
that would compete with American in
dustries.
