DEFENDS SIX SUITS.
Devils Lake Man Keeps the Courts
Busy.

Devils Lake.-With a warrant out
for his arrest for running a nuisance,
temporary injunction issued by the
district court declaring the electric
light plant nuisance; an action for
permanent injunction pending in the
district court; new ordinance just in
effect and to be fought, cutting the
electric light rate in Devils Lake from
16 to II cents; $4,000 bond issue
i, for a municipal electric lighting plant
tied up in litigation; with $1,500 per-
sonal injury suit awaiting trial and a
second civil action on the court calen-
dar, A. B. Kerlin, president of the
Devils Lake Improvement company,
now holds all records from stand
point of litigation.
The legal battle between the light
magnate and city administration and
others started last year. when bond
issue of $4,000 was approved by the
voters for the construction of light
plant, Kerlin secured an injunction
the necessary bonds. This phase of
the fight is now in court and has prac-
tically been abandoned by the city.
Failing in securing the municipal
plant, the city council took hand in
fixing the light rates in the city by
slicing S cents off the maximum
charge for kilowatt hour. The old
rate of JIG cents was reduced II cents
by the council This feature of the
municipal program went into effect
the 1st of May. Preparation is al
ready being made by Kerlin to fight
this proceeding. even if it is necessary
to carry the action to the supreme
court of the state.
There is pending in the district
! court at this time the case of Jacob
son against the Devils Lake Improve
ment company in which the plaintiff, a
former fireman at the plant, seeks
damages of $500 for alleged injuries
the plant.
| Four weeks ago application was
made by the city in joint suit with
Silver Serumgard to the district court
for permanent injunction against the
plant, alleging that it is nuisance.
At that time it was decided by the
prosecution to allow the present con-
ditions to continue until a regular
term of court. The fact that a new
device was put into use few days
ago which it is said allows the exhaust
of the gas engine to ring out through
the night air, making it impossible to
sleep in the neighborhood, crystallized
the action taken yesterday afternoon
The summary shows that Mr.
Kerlin is vitality interested in six cases
which are already in court, or are
being prepared. He is probably the
least troubled man in the city Just
the same. He charges the entire liti
cation to politics. The fight to make
him close down his plant, or move il
to some other section of the city, will
be the one which will involve the
keenest struggle.

Railroads and Steel Men Trying Hard
to Find a Solution Of Battling
Problem.

New York.-An open hearth steel
rail finished by an electrical process
being perfected by the United States
Steel corporation is the chief present
hope of the steel makers and railroad
men. who are looking for a solution
OF the battling rail problem. In the
mills the new rail is known az the
electric rail-" and a statement by one
Of the railroad presidents who at.
tended the recent rail conference sx-
plains:
If this electrical process does not
contain the secret. then We shall have
to rely on rail heavier than that we
have been using. We shall have to
put in UNDERGROUND rail at q cost
Of more than $50 ton. At the con-
ference with the steel men last week
we demanded that more be cut of
the ends of rails after they had been
rolled and more cut OF the ends of
the ingots before they were rolled.
The idea of this is to prevent air
holes and other defects. The steel
men were averse to this unless we
consented to pay more for the prod
uct. However. In the end they agreed
to make concession and to cut OF
a little more from the ends, although
they declined to go as far as we
asked at the present price. which We
think ample.
Unless this electric rail solves the
problem, my belief is We shall have
to put in heavier rail II we want 1t
as hard as those now in use. II not.
we shall have to use q softer one,
which will wear out in half the time.

passed the senate and now goes to
the States for ratification.
All that remains to be done is the
formal signing of the instrument and
the issuance of proclamation to the
States to signify their wishes on the
proposed change. The vote was pre-
ceded by a bitter fight, in which the
Southern members Joined common
cause against the resolution. Led by
Representative Bartlett, of Georgia,
the Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana
delegations fought to prevent IT'S pas
sage because of the senate amend
ment which gave the federal govern
