Canada. and instructed to report
there April l.
Mr.. Laskey declared the complaint
Is too vOluminous and so violates
the new Federal civil rules: that the
plaintiff complains Of treatment he
anticipates in the future; that the
plaintiff assumes his unsatisfactory
rating is based on charges against
him, but that this is erroneous,
being predicated in reality upon his
own service record, and that he has
had opportunity to reply.
Contends Hull Was "Misled."
Mr.. Laskey said that even if there
were charges MI. Hammond has had
an opportunity to confer with his
Superiors as his affidavits show. The
assistant United States attorney in
dicated that Mr.. Hammond has not
exhausted his administrative rem
edies AS his action here is prema-
ture and that the courts have no
control over administrative action
in dlscharging employees.
Arthur K. Wing of New York. who
is representing young Mr.. Hammond,
together with the Washington at
torney, George w. Dalzell. asked
Justice ODonoghue not to dismiss
the complaint Mr.. Wing explained
that the complaint was long be-
cause allegations of fraud must be
set forth at length He character
lied the action as bona fde attempt
to get an Interpretation OF State
Department statutes which have
never been passed upon by the
courts.
Mr.. Wing, reviewing his clients
career in the State Department,
said he has had fine record He
contended that Secretary of State
Hull, who was named as de-
fendant, has been "misled" by two
of the defendants, Mr. Berle and
Mr, Shaw.
Justice ODonoghue took the case
under Amusement and gave attor-
neys permission to file briefs.

Funds for purchase of site for
the long planned health center in
the lower Northwest area will be
asked by the. Commissioners when
Congress takes up the 1912 budget,
Commissioner John Russell Young
said today.
His statement, a re-affirmatlon OF
stand taken several months ago by
the city heads, came after a board
of District officials. who Investigated
the falling of plaster yesterday on
patients at the old health clinic at
512 I street NV, reported they
found no reason TO believe the build
ing there-a converted old residence
was in an unsafe condition.
The investigation of the condition
Of the l street building was made by
Assistant Building Inspector Thomas
F. Roche, Deputy Fire Marshal A c.
AChstetter and Jesse Kimball. chief
field inspector of the Building In
spector's Office.
Mr.. Roche said they found
quantity OF disintectant fluid had
been spilled Oh the floor over the
area of plaster which came loose
yesterday. striking 20 persons seated
in the first floor assembly room.
They said there was evidence Of
leaking pipes which also might
have loosened the plaster.
fr Dnohn o@Iol l1a L,r
lieve the falling plaster was caused
by overlooking of the floor and said
that if the clinic limited the number
OF persons on the upper floors 10
those who could be properly treated
/ there was no danger OF the building
being unsafe, He suggested that
clinic authorities however. should
force obedience to fire escape rules
( so that stairs and halls would not
be blocked.
/ Health Officer George c Rutland
| has campaigned for several years
I for northwest polyCllnlC. provision
of which would permit abandonment
of use of the I street quarters.
The Commissioners did not put
in their 1912 estimates funds for
the proposed center because there
was pending last fall the question
! Of use Of site sought by Rutland.
Later, Federal planning officials
/ ruled that site out, and thereafter
/ the Commissioners announced they
/ would seek funds for the purchase
Of another site.
