SUPERIOR COURT TO
HEAR STREET MARKET
CASE NEXT TUESDAY
Meaning OF Law as to Farmers
and Truckers" VIII be Argued
on That Day.
IT WILL AFFECT 20 OR MORE

Whether. the markets in King and
Madison streets are to be for the ex-
elusive use of farmers and truckers.
within the meaning of the law govern
ing these places of trade. and whether
the market clerk is to be the sole judge
of the qualifications of the applicants
for allotmeuts viii be determined by
the Superior Court. Next Tuesday was
fixed today by the court as the time
for hearing argument on a return made
today in mandamus proceedings which
have been instituted to bring the case
to an issue.
Benjamin w. p. Hicks occupied two
spaces in King street between Fourth
and Fifth streets and when his permit
expired he made application for re-
newal. Edward McAteer, clerk OF the
market. refused the application, alieg-
ing Hicks did not grow the produce
he sells but buys it elsewhere. Hicks
occupied the spaces and was then ar
rested, charged with not having per-
nit.
The case came up in City Court
last Tuesday and Deputy Judge Lynn
then ruled it was the duty of the mar
ket clerk to issue a permit for reaiiot-
merlt of market space when asked and
if he then believed the applicant was
violating the law TO cause his arrest.
Prior to this, however, mandamus pro-
ceedings had been instituted TO compel
Mr.. McAteer to show cause why he
should not be obliged to issue the per-
NIT Hicks asked for. This writ was
made returnable today, and City Solici-
tor John w. Huxley, Jr., who is coun-
sci for Mr.. McAteer, in his answer filed
this morning denied that Hicks is a
farmer within the meaning of the law
governing the markets.
William t. Lyman represents Hicks
and viii argue his side of the case next
Tuesday.
TIE question is of importance to all
the occupants of the street markets
and directly affects some twenty deal
ers now occupying spaces there. The
law governing the markets, 1t is said,
specifies that occupants must grow on
their farms, either owned, leased or
rented by them, all the produce they
sell there.

REV. JOHN NJ 'EkMOYLE
OUSTED AS PASTOR
BY GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Church Court of Last Resort
Decides in Favor of New
Castle Presbytery.
DISARMAMENT is FAVORED

Special Dispatch to Every Evening.
winona Lake. Ind, May 2s.--Pastoral
relations of Rev. John McElmoy1e and
the Presbyterian Church OF EIkton. Md,
were again dissolved when the appeal
of the Presbytery of New Castle against
the synod OF Baltimorc was sustained
by the Presbyterian General Assembly
after heated debate late yesterday
afternoon.
Contrary to the general expectations
of the commissioners here, who had be-
lieved the case would be decided in favor
of the Synod of Baltimore and DIR. Nc
Elmoyle on legal technicaIity, the
Judicial Commission reported Wednes-
day adversely. The merits of the case
showed. the report of this supreme court
OF the church indicated. that Pastor
McElmoyle had not technically received
the written notice of dismissal. but that
he had been given sufficient notice
otherwise and was even present in the
Presbytery of New Castle when tho
tion. Pastor McEimoyIc had thus been
given sufficient notice. the report de-
clared.
The report told IN detail cf the be-
ginning OF the contruversy between
and the pastor. because OF the marry
ing proclivities OF the latter. Complaint
made TO the Presbytery % New Castle
said the report resulted in the appoint
ing Of an investigating committee and
the dismissal of DIR. McElmoyle. Later
this decision was reversed by the Synod
of Baltimore, which also investigated
the case. The appeal was made against
this reversal by the PAsbytery of New
Castle.
Hot Debate Over Custer.
A stormy debate Immediately fol-
lowed the conclusion Of the report OF
the commission. delivered by the chair
man. DIR. Arthur l.. Jackson of the
Synod of Baltimore. who stated he had
not been present during the trial at
Winona.
One Of the leaders In the debate was
Judge Peel of Washington City. On
getting the floor he declared that he
knew of the facts in the case as coun-
sci for the defendant. Judge Peel then
proceeded 10 condemn the commission
for not hearing all OF the evidence. for
hearing too much evidence and for not
deciding the case on the technical ques-
ton, which he declared was the only
one at stake, .'of whether or not DR..
AcElmoyie received sufficient notice be-
fore dismissal"

.kNICKERSr NAY HAVE
HELPED, MRS. WRIGHT SAYS

Newton. Mass, May 2s.-"And to
think he did it in those knickers."
That was the remark OF a proud
mother today when she received word
that her 23-year-old son Fred Wright
had gone down fighting in an extra hole
match, the last American in the COM
petition for the highest honor in the
amateur golfing world-the British
amateur championship.
Mrs. Frederick ]. Wright went on 10
explain. Freddie never wanted to wear
knickerbockers. Although he had played
golf in knee hreeches as a boy, he
would not wear the knickers when the
other young men took TO the new style.
Freddie is tall and lanky and preferred
trousers. He stuck TO them until he
began to prepare for his trip abroad
Then his sister told him he ought TO
do in England as the English do-wear
knickerbockers- so he took them.
