DEMURRS ID. INDICTMENTS. OF NEWbERY. OPENS FIGHT.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dee. 29.-P)-The first in- dication of the character of the fight to be made by Sen atOr Truman H: Newbcrry, recently indicted by a local federal grand jury for al- legged wholesale election frauds, came today when counsel for the Michigan senator filed a demurrer to the indictment. In this de- murrer the constitutiOnality of the election laws of the state are attacked and 1t is asserted that the majority of counts in the indictment against Mir. Newberry do not constitute offenses against the United States.
 The court has taken the demurrer into consideration and will give it's ruling in a few days. It is generally believed here that it will be overruled. It is said that this is but the opening gun in a legal battle which will last for at least three months and there is a strong possibility that it will take longer than that to reach a jury with the cases.
