THE CELEBRATION.

The celebration, barring the base
ball game, was pronounced success.
There was something doing every
minute, and we have yet to hear one
person murmur as to the treatment he
received. Logan certainly did herself
proud, and Il seems to us that we
should here and now resolve that Lo-
gan will have one good celebration.
such as the one we had yesterday,
each year. From expressions made
here and there prior to the celebra.
ton a great many of our citizens had
become deluded with the idea that We
could not have good celebration.
That we had been inactive so long
the old time spirit had left us.
And some were resentful because the
people did not turn out enmass at the
call of the mayor. and thought it
would be useless to try to celebrate.
But the committee went on just the
same, and July 4, 1911, will be known
as the most successfully celebrated
Fourth of July in Logan up to date,
The people all came out, and our
friends came from far and near. They
were all we'll dressed and had money
to spend too, and they spent It, not
lavishly, but reasonably and with
good taste and judgment, Incidentally
the business men who were most
strongly opposed to the celebration
were extremely prosperous and did
more business on the Saturday and
Monday preceding the Fourth than
they have done for weeks past. Such

believed possible to find a witness who by
a confession Of illegal practices at polling

expected to lay down as the policy of the
grand jury an abandonment of the investi-

Members of Bath Tub
Trust Enter Demurrer
Thirty-Two Individual Defendants
Charge Indictment is insufficient
and Defective on Every Count.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 31.-Thlrty-two
individual defendants in the criminal case
brought by the government against the
so-called bath tub trust yesterday entered
demurrer In the local federal court. 1t is
charged the allegations of the Indictment
do not constitute an offense under the
laws and sovereignty OF the United States
that no offense is alleged or stated in
which the court has Jurisdiction: that no
particular acts are charged to individuals
and that the indictment in every count Is
informal, insufficient and defective.
The grand jury on December 6, 1870 re-
turned two indictments against each de-
PENDANT containing six and four counts re-
spectively and charged that the defendants
control SO per cent of the annual output of
enamel ironware, bath tubs, sinks and Law
atories. etc, in the United States 1t was
also alleged the defendants combined to
restrain the trade of manufacturers and
jobbers of plumbing supplies by refusing
to sell to jobbers handling the goods of
so-Called Independents, by the fixing OF re-
sale prices by the division of the Unissd
States into eleven zones and refusing to
sell to jobbers who would not maintain the
resale prices established by the alleged
agreement of the defendants.
The indictments were returned against
sixteen firms and thirty-four individuals
