 The cases of Manuel Arande, 2s, of 113 West 11sth street, New York city, and Marshall Rovis, 34. of 21 West 1lsth street, New York. will be disposed of some time this afternoon, according to statements made th,s morning by Chief of Police Ernest T. Belden and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert J. Stack. Due to the absence from the city this morn ing Of both Judge William J. Ma lone and Deputy Judge Joseph M.

 The two men, when presented in police court Wednesday morning, were charged with larceny. It is believed, however, that this charge will be changed to one of theft when the men are put to plea later today.
 Arande and Rovis were arrested Tuesday afternoon by Policemen Aldie Brault and Joseph Strup after they had, according to the police. attempted to work the 'sut case game" in the clothing store of J. R. Mitchell and Son on Main street. They are charged with having worked the same game successfully in the store of Robert w. Harris, Inc. on January 29, making 8 get away with two suits of clothing valued at 3S0. The men have been identified by James Mccarthy, clerk in the Harris store. as the ones who called at the store on the date in question and purchased small item of merchandise which necessitated trip to the basement.
 While one of the men accom- panied Mccarthy, the other re- mained on the main floor. Shortly after they had left. Mccarthy dis covered that two suits, which he had just unpacked. were missing.
