Dercni-e Object to New Charge and Policemen Dissatisfied Because City Will Xot Prosecute. -Refusal of the City Attorney to Issue complaints against the managers and frequenters of the Overland Club, raid ed last week by the police, and the transfer of the cases to the state dock et under vagrancy charges, was made an Issue In Municipal Court yesterday when the cases came up for trial. The policemen who made the arrests are dissatisfied with the status of the pros ecution, while the attorney for the de fense and the Judge both criticised the practice of' making arrests on one charge and then changing It to an other. When booked at the desk, three of the defendants, including J. A. Mc Cleary, were charged with running a disorderly house, and six others were held for visiting such a place. Deputy City Attorney Sullivap Informed the officers that he could not issue com plaints on these charges, as no ordi nance covers the facts stated. The District Attorney then filed vagrancy charges, under the clause which names as a vagrant anyone who indulges in riotous or disorderly conduct. He asked for time to prepare the case, and was given until today. The Overtand Club, in the Common wealth building. Sixth and Ankeny streets, has been under surveillance for a long time, as a place where city ordi nances are evaded, by the masquerade under the form of a private club. Some weeks ago McCleary was arrested for selling liquor without a license, but re ceived a suspended sentence because, as the court was Informed, other clubs were selling liquor also.
