.SQUATTERS' CASES
CALLED FOR TRIAL
Center Market Men to Be
Arraigned Tomorrow.
MCFARLAND ISSUES ORDER
Prosecutor Pugh to Take Charge in
Police COurt-Space With
out Permits.

The long delayed cases Of the District
against the so-caled "sQuatters'' near
the Center Market viii come up for trial
IN the Police Court tomorrow.
A peculiar phase of the matter Is that
while conditions leading to the imme-
date prosecution Of these alleged illegal
sellers Of market produce were brought
about by Acting Prosecutor A. Leftwich
Sinclair during the absence of Prose
cutor Pugh, It is more than probable
that PuEh will have charge Of the prose-
cutions. as he is expected to return tC
his duties tomorrow morning.
The cases have been continued from.
June last on one excuse and another,
until at last Commissioner Macfarland
has given orders that the cases be tried
tomorrow without fail.
1t is understood that the cases were
postponed the last time By Pugh after
he had consulted with the counsel for
some Of the alleged "squatters."
The offense charged is that these men
occupy space without permits near the
Center Market for selling produce. This
space is set aside for farmers and gar
deners selling their own produce.
