Ordlmrt Wmn Appwri Ac tine under certain provision of the- charter of Portland, the Council of that city undertook lha prolongation of Oak street from Ita original weatern tfrmtnui at Park atreet to an Intersec tion with Hurnstde street, still further n that direction. The proceeding reached a point here, over too objections of the plain tiff. Clark. tn Council paKj an or. dmini- adopting tne report of the viewers, which enactment as ap proved by the Mayor. The project Involved tak'.ng from the plaintiff ll of lot 3 and the south 10 feet of lot 2, In block 8.

Meanwhile two other separate ap peals had been taken by (arties hose property was involved, one by way of lamages and one as to benefits. In the tame scheme of street extension. ly;y wa marked in connection witn the appeals. The Supreme Court aid: "The delay In w tndtng up tne affair until after the lapse of the statu tory period renders the condemnatory proceeding void at least as against the plaintiff. He la entitled to enjoin the destruction of his estate when attempt ed under a void proceeding. If the title of hts property has tx-rn, so to speak, s.ajidercd or his enjoyment of It im paired to his hurt by the abortive ac tion of the city, the law courts are open to him for a redress of his griev ance. "It follows that the decree of the Circuit ourt I reversed and one here entered enjoining the defendant from taking plaintiff's proverty under the prtx eedtng mentioned In the p lead in u and fox costs and disbursements but without damages."

Hy this decision It 1 contended by property-owners interested In the pro posed improvement that It will be al most Impossible In future to open any street In the city. It Is pointed out t! at or.e or more persons effectually may Mock any proposed street extension by siir.p'.y taking advantage of delay liirotixh the process of litigation. It 1 contended by John C. lieck. an attorney, and interested property-owner, that the entire procedure of recon deuination must be undertaken, or. oth erwise the Oak-street extennton cannot be effected, despite the fact t. it It Is now a matter of record that the street is legally open. The city is placed In a peculiar position. It Is declared. Inas much as It has collected approximately $100,000 as benefits from property-owners and cannot make ue of this fund for which it was paid. After the last viewers report was made, two appeals wer taken, one by John Clark and the others by Louise Burkhart. The Hurkhart case was dis missed. Then the city proceeded under the section of the harter providing for the collection of assessments. AH the benefits were paid In under thte procedure with the exception f those from John Clark. Then all person on the street wrto rroperry was to b appropriated. with the execution of (lark and Sophia Klosterman. re reived oamaces. I'nder provision of the section of the churter coverlnc the city rtahts to appropriate property for puMte use. the CWy Council offi cially declared the street open, after warrants were drawn for damages, and ordered the City Knumeer to tile for record wit1 the County Clerk a copT of th resolution and a plat of t.i street. The point of law raised by Clark was thit the warrants were not drawn within nine months, the statutory period, after the date of his appeal. On the other hand, the city contended tnat the statutory period should begin to run from the dismissal of the Hurk hart suit. rietween these twi points rested the decision of the State Su preme Court, the decision having been made upon a technicality. The opening of tak street has been delayed for years. Three different re ports have been made bv viewers and In each case virtually all the property owners were In favor of the proposed extension. With the decision yester day, still further delay will result, and t fir extension of the street may be held in abeyance indotlnttely. It Is probable that an early rehearing of the cae will be asked. With the proposed opening of the street, several substantial buildings were under- consideration. The pro posed structures cannot now be built unless the city wins (rom a rehearing of the case.

LEADERS OF AUTO TERRORISTS SL Last of Bandits Meet Death by Dynamite After Fierce Battle. FIVE POLICEMEN WOUNDED f Jlsht Wages All Day, With Town Continually Itocked by Explo sion and Oreat Crowd Press Ins Near Lair of Cans- PARIS. May 15. The career of the last of France's notorious bandit gang was dramatically ended yesterday, when, after eight hours' battle with police and troops, its -leader. Octave Uarnler, and his confederate, Vallet. were blown up by explosives In a small villa nt Nogent-sur-Marne, where they had taken refuge. Shattered by shots of dynamite, their house foil In ruins when melinite was exploded under the walls. fl The police found Uarnler dead and Vallet dying. Five policemen were wounded In the battle. Three Pollrrmaa Fall. All the forces for the protection of society had failed to dislodge them. Several thousand police, gendarmes and zouaves tried for hours to shoot the bandits or blow up the building with explosives. Three policemen had fallen from the desperadoes bullets but though the villa was damaged by dynamite the bandits held their qwn and showed no signs of surrendering. I'nllke Bonnet, whose refuge was dy namited at Ctiolsy-le-Rol, Garnler made his last stand in a house hidden by foliage and surrounded closely by other buildings, making an assault dif ficult and dangerous. Bonnet and Du bois fought In a garage, which could be approached from all sides. Bon not. the "demon chauffeur." was re markable for hij skill at the wheel of automobiles. b"y the employment of which the band committed outrages and made their escape. Garnier's spe cialty was dlrgutse. He went so far as to mutilate his eyelids to change his appearance, and he succeeded In evading the police dragnet which had been spread over Paris and the suburbs. Cupidity Leads I. Death. Garnier's mistake came In trying to negotiate stolen securities at a branch of a big banking-house whereby he and his companions. Vsllet and a woman named Vulllemin. were tracked to No gent. Again, as In the rase of the battle of Choisy-le-Kol, the efforts of the police and military were greatly hampered by the vast crowds that gathered In the adjoining streets. Attempts were made to blow up the building by throwing dynamite cartridges from the adjacent viaduct, and a perfect hall of bullets were fired into the house. Some of the bullets glanced from the bricks, while others emerged on the oppoaite side, the result of which was that two policemen were wounded. Then an armed force holding torches rushed into the ruins and , discovered the two bandits on the floor in a room. flHrster Almost Tasked. Garnler was naked save for a few tattered rags. He appeared to be dead. Vallet was dying. When- the bodies of the desperadoes were dragged Into the open the thou sands of sectators pressed forward and tried to tear them from the troops. Auntomoblles were brought up and tha bodies thrown In. but for a few min utes It was found Impossible to start the machines. One of the most dramatic moments of the battle was when, during a lull in the tiring, the woman Vulllemin stepped from the building and surreo-. de red, leaving the men to fight for their lives. Vallet died In the automobile which was conveying him to a Paris hospi tal. ' When the police arrived at the villa which was known as the Moulin Rouge M. Gulchard. superintendent of detec tives, cried out: "Open in the name of the law." A man hidden In the garden respond ed with revolver fire. This began the battle and siege. trowel fttJadera Operatic... M. Gulchard was not hit. He mo bilized the detectives, police and gend armes, while a company of xouaves Joined the besiegers. The excitement was Intense and the enormous crowd hindered operations. tlx Inspectors, protected by sheets of steel, approached the house. They encountered a heavy firo, but were not hurt. Three of the police, however, fell seriously wounded. In the mean time, the police and spectators who had gathered on the viaduct heaved stones on the roof of the house, which stood adjacent to the viaduct. The roof was wrecked and fell in, but the bandlsts continued firing. When M. lupine, the prefect of po lice arrived, he assumed command and finally derided to blow up the bandits' lair. The xouave bugler sounded "Cease firing" and theu "Retreat" Word was passed that the villa was to be blown up. Soon there was an explosion. In spectors and artillery lieutenants had thrown dynamite bombs from the via duct. P.xploetoa Shakes Tows. The explosion shook the town but when the smoke and the dust cleared the sharp cracks of rifles from the building showed the bombs had failed to accomplish their purpose. el. Leptne himself had a narrow es cape when a bullet passed within an inch of his shoulder and burled Itself In a wall. The prefect requisitioned extra dy namite bombs and cartridgea from the military barracks at Vtncennes. Several detectives, armed with a new type of steel shield were able to approach within IS feet of the house. Holding the shield with the left arm and crouched behind It. they fired. One shield wan pierced but the detective wss not wouaded. The arrival of reserve police gave the crowds a rhanc. to cheer. It was evident after the explosion that the bandits had taken refuge In the cellar. Later they mounted to an attic, from which they directed a steady fusillade.
