DEMURRER is FILED IN THE
BATHTUB TRUST CASES
Action Is Surprise To Governmen
Which Is Confident, However,
Of Winning.

A demurrer was filed in the United
States district court, Monday after.
noon. on behalf of the 32 individuals
named In the indictments recently re-
turned by the federal grand jury in
connection with the governments
prosecution of the alleged bathtub
trust The demurrer does not refer
TO the 16 companies also indicted as
corporations, so the pleas OF not
guilty formerly entered, stand as far
as the CORPORATIONS themselves are
concerned. The action of the indi-
yidual defendants comes as rather a
surprise TO the government The de-
murrer sets forth that the acts al
legged In the indictments do not con-
Stitute an offense under the laws OF
the United States and the court
therefore. has no jurisdiction, 1t is
contended. II Is also pointed out that
there are no unlawful acts mentioned
or charged against individuals.
/. District Attorney Watson expresses
confidence that the demurrer will not
stand. The contentious have all been
passed upon In similar cases, he says,
and in these cases the government
has won out. Edwin p Grosvenor,
special assistant to Atty. Gen. Wicker
sham, is on his way to Detroit to as
sist Mr.. Watson in the preparation
,of an answer to the demurrer, which
probably will be argued before Judge
Denison, Judge Swan having an
nounced that he would not hear the
bathtub cases. He is soon to retire.

A dog from the neighboring town of Stonington may be the cause-of the trouble. This dog came to Westerly with it's owner several weeks ago. but could not be found on the return trip.
 A few days ago the missing dog was found chained in the Stillmanville sec ton in the backyard of one of the residences. When the owner claimed the dog the man in charge of the premises declared the Stoningtonian was mistaken and that the dog had never been out of the town of Vest erly.
 Although the Stonington man and his son proved it by the friendly ac- tens of the dog towards them that the animal was the missing pet, the Stillmanville man insisted that they were mistaken in the identity, but if they wanted the dog he could be had for consideration.

 Peters displayed six bottles to prove his story. He said one was half empty, and he believes the bass was in some way sucking out the beer, and that is why the line hooked up with the bottles. He says the bottles were held together, and had evidently been hung over the side of a boat by some fishing party to Keep them cool, and had been lost.

MOBILES CAUSE ACCIDENTS
High Heels Also Figure in Mishap to
 Women in Railroad Stations.

New York, Sept 2S.-That high heels and hobble skirts are responsible for a large proportion of the injuries sus- tained by women while getting on and off trains and mounting and descend ing stairways in stations is the con c1usion reached by the Pennsylvania railroad after an investigation cover ing three months in which 73 such cases were recorded.
 The injuries ranged from slight con- tusions tos painful sprains and cuts. Typical of the causes set forth in the report are Heel caught in step of coach and tore off. High heel caught while descending stairs: wore hobble skirt
 Even in the new Pennsylvania sta tion in this city, where all descents are gradual, and where the stairways are designed so as to minimize the possi- bility of such accidents, women fall victims to the high heel.
