Milwaukee, Aug. 19-To convert an entire city block in the downtown district into an old fashioned German market is a move decided upon by the Milwaukee common council to combat high prices of food. Parts of the block is used as a nay market. 1t is planned to purchase the remain ing property, erect building to oc- cupy all the ground and continue the market idea winter and summer. The fact that women now drive to the square in electric coupes and mingle with washerwomen in purchasing vegetables and other farm products in the few small stores now conducted by individuals is responsible for the move by the city. The project will be under municipal control, conducted much the same as are the refreshment stores in the public parks. The right to conduct them is sold to the high est bidder but the prices of everything sold is regulated by the park board through the market quotations from day to day.

FIGHT AGAINST
 SECOND TRIAL
 < Efforts to Arraign Darrow Again at Los Angeles is Being Resisted.
THE BAIN CASE IS UP
Indictment May Be Quashed But Dis. trict Attorney is Deter
 mined,

Los Ar ngeles, Aug. 19.-The fight of C arence Darrow against a second trial on charge of bribery growing out of the McNamara case, was be- gun thls afserncon when the Bain case came up before Judge Hutton to be set for trial. A determined con- tentiol that the Bain indictment should be quashed was presented by DarroW's attorneys, Rogers and Attel, and the court tock the legal expect of the case under consideration, post boring the setting of the, case till ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 In the possible event that the in- dictment is set aside, Darrow may be tried on new indictment. District Attorney Fredericks, more determin- ed than ever to prosecute Darrow on the Bain charge, following the courts session this afternoon, asserted that he did not deem the ground for the setting aside of the Bain indictment sufficient, but if it Should be he would "very likely" bring another in- 0ictment against Darrow
 q am positive that the second case will be set fer trial" said Frede- ricks. There are no sufficient legal grounds for it's being ses aside. Put if, perchance for some reasen, the indictment is dismissed, it is very likely that we will bring another in dittment against Darrow.
 Judge Hutton announced from the bench today, as he had stated before, that he would not try a second case against Darrcw because after heaE ing the evidence in the case, he con- sidered that he was prejudiced. He also declared that it is doubtful if the other judges of thefsuperior court of this couniy would be absolutely unbiased after following closely te tae long case, and it might be neces- sary to call in an outside judge.
