ALGIERS RAILWAY AND NO.
RAIL AND LIGHT LOCK HORNS
ASKS INJUNCTION TO PREVENT
LATTER FROM SELLING CUR
RENT ON RIGHT BANK.

The Algiers Railway and Lighting
Company filed petition in the Civil
Court Thursday praying for writ of
injunction against the New Orleans
Railway and Light Company, prohib-
iting it from directly or indirectly
selling or furnishing electric cur
rent to anyone in the Fifth District
or Jefferson and Plaquemines.
Showing that it holds valuable
franchises in Algiers and the ada
cent parishes on the other side of the
river for the running or electrical
car line and the furnishing of cleo
trical current for power and lighting
purposes, the Algiers company sets
forth that it acquired these from the
Algiers Water Works and Electric
Company, which on August IA, 1904,
entered into two contracts with the
Orleans Railway Company of New
Jersey whereby the latter contract
ed to furnish all of the electrical en-
ergy the Algiers concern might need.
The New Orleans Railway and Light
Company succeeded to the ownership
OF the property of the New Jersey
concern and recognized the contract,
1t is claimed.
The gravaman of the charge
against the railway company lies in
the allegation that in violation of a
contract with the Algiers concern it
has agreed to sell power to the Con-
sumers' Company for Gretna and JEFF
ferson distribution. This current
would go over the new cable laid by
the defendant from the Claiborne
street power house under the river
to Algiers.
For several years. and until a year
ago. the street railway company has
been supplying the Algiers company
with power from this Claiborne
street power house by means of a
sub-river cable. Now the power is
sent from the Market-street power
house, via the sub-river cable and
through McDonoghville.
1t is through the Consumers Elec-
trio Light and Power Company that
Gretna now has street lights and the
people of the community are about
to enjoy the benefits of cheaper rate
for electricity for power and lighting
purposes of all kind. The Consum-
ers is furnishing this current
through the Gretna Light and Power
Company.
The Gretna concern. inaugurated
the commercial service Friday night,
when the establishment of A.
Lafayette Avenue and
Second street, was lighted by cleo
tricity for the first time. Mr.. Hour
guettes' place is the first to be con-
nected to the new system. Other
contracts have been obtained. The
new concerns rate is IL cents per
kilowatt hour, whereas the Algiers
Company charges 20 cents. Both al
low discounts.
1t is believed that one of the first
results of the Inauguration of the
new system will be a rate war. par
ticularly, as regards the larger con-
sumers. While no definite announce
ment has ever been made. it has been
said that there is a possibility of the
new concern entering the Algiers
field.
The Algiers company contends that
the New Orleans Company has con-
tracted to furnish it exclusively with
current for the right bank, includ-
ing Jefferson and Plaquemines
Parish, as well as Algiers.

She ran a. far as she could. coming
up to the glass wall that formed
the inner end Of the conservatory.
Further retreat was impossible. She
seized . little rustic chair and
dashed It through the glass. Cautious
ly she managed to make her way
through the opening she had broken.

gypsy had gained just time enough.

have seen her.
The others were. apparently, look
ing for her in every direction except
the right one. She saw her chance.
Stealthily she managed to slip out Of

Aunt Josephine reached down and
picked up the handkerchief she had

Inez and myself going out. She

In spite of my fears Inez went with

Elaine had dropped in one afternoon
to see Kennedy at the laboratory.
Craig was working over q straight
backed chair which stood close to the
wall. On the arms were short straps.

As they chatted. Elaine watched
Craig curiously. examining the chair
and especially the left arm. on which
was placed . metal disk In such =
way that the wrist Of anyone sitting
in the chair could be strapped in con-
