Paris, May 15\u2014The career of the last of France's notorious handit sang was dramatically ended this moming when after eight hours battle with police and troops, its leader, Octave Garnier, and his confederate, Vallet, were blown up by explosives in a small villa at Nogen-Sur-Marne, where they had taken refuge.Shattered by shots of dynamite, their house fell in ruins when melinite was exploded under its walls, The police found Garnier dead and Vallet dying.Five policemen were wounded in the battle.Undaunted and prolabiy unharmed by bullet and dynamite.Octave Garnier, the real leader and last uf the notorious bandit gang.which has terrorized Paris, was «till fighting desperately for life at midnight with his confederate Vallet, in a small villa at Nogent on the banks of the Marne, wheré they had taken refuge.All the forces for the protection of society had failed to dislodge them.Police came from Paris.four miles away.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 badly damaged by dynamite the bandits miraculously held their own and showed no signs of surrendering.Unlike Bonnot, whose refuge was dynamited at Choisy-Le-Roi, Garnier made his last stand in a house hidden by foliage and surrounded closely by other buildings, rendering an assault difficult and dangerous, Bonnot and Dubois fought in a garage, which could be approached from all sides.Bonnot, the \u201cdemon chauffeur,\u201d was remarkable for his skill at the wheel of automobiles by the employment of which the band committed utrages and made their cscape.Garher's specialty was disguise.He vent as far as to mutilate his eyelids o change his appearance, and by re- orting to every scheme exploited in letective fiction he succeeded in evad- ng the polite dragnet which had been pread over Pari< and the suburbs, .Garvier's mistake came in trying to megatiate stolen securities at a Iiranch of a big banking house whereby he and his companions, Valbet and Vuellemin were tracked to Nogent.Al three, who are decided blondes, dyed their hair jet black.An indiscretion by the woman Vuilleman today cnabled the police to fix their lair to a certainty.She went to a public pump to get drinking water, where she was met by a Parisian woman.Vuilleman, who is of Basque origin, carried the jug of water on her shoulder, after the custom of the country.The Parisian, struck by the picture, stopped ber and exclaimed : \u201cHow beautiful you are, madame.You should pose for a portrait.\u201d Vuilleman smilingly acknowledged the compliment and passed on, Then the Parisian, with a woman's penetration, decided that the beautiful woman\u2019s hair was dyed.The comments and inquiries of the Parisian put the police on the track.M.Lepine, P\u2019re- fect of Paris, was notitied and decided to capture or kill the bandits.if neces sary, as France is determined to rid the country of those who have been spreading terror on every side.Again, as in the case of the battle at Choisy-Le-Roi, the efforts of the police and military greatly hampered by the vast crowds of spectators that uathered in the adjoining streets.Attempts were made to blow up the building by throwing dynamite cartridges from the adjacent viaduct, and a perfect hail of bullets was thrown into the house where the bandits were concealed.Finally, the fire ceased for a time and the onlookers wearied by lack of definite action and their FRENCH BANDIT GANG WIPED OUT Exciting Encounler with the Remaining Members in which Many Lives Lost inability to witness any of the later operations took possession of the cafes to await the outcome.All sorts of wild rumors were afloat, among them that Garnier had succeeded in escaping.That the authorities placed no credence in this was shown by the fact that they telephoned for melinite, and after the arrival of a searchlight, a quantity of the high explosive was placed against the lower wall of the villa At the concussion more debris was hurled skyward.The explosion left a yawning opening in the villa, through which police dogs.with savage barks, sprung.while the police and troops sent volley after volley of shots into the ruins of the building.Unhappily.some of the hullets ricuchetted from the bricks while others emerged on the opposite side, the result of which that two policemen were wounded.Then.an armed force, .holding torches, rushed into e ruins and diécoysred the two bandits lying in a room.Garnier was entirely naked, save for a fewt attered rags.He appeared to be dead.Vallet was dead or dying.The crowd of spectators, now wildly enraged, rushed up and tried to seize the bandits.With great difficulty \"the police drove them back.The automobiles then balked and efforts were again made by the mpnb to tear the desperadoes from the troops.Hundreds surrounded the Prefect of Police and with cries of \u201cVive Lepine,\u201d tried to carry bim off iu triumph.When the police arrived at the villa, which was known as the Moulin Rouge.M.Guichard, Superintendent of Detectives, carrying the tri-colar sash of his office.cried out \u201cOpen in the name of the law.\u201d A man hidden in the garden responded with revolver fire.This formally hegan the battle and siege.M.Guichard was not hit and retreated.Île mobilized the detectives, police and gendarmes, who carried rifled, with a company of Zouaves from the nearby harracks joined the besieging forces.The excitement was intense and the numerous crowd hindered the operations and had to be driven back.Six inspec tors protected by sheets of steel furnished by a gunsmith cautiously approached the house.They encountered a murderous fire, but were not wounded.Three nf the police, however, fell from the bandits bullets, sorionsly wounded.In the meantime the police and spectators who had gathered on the viaduct of the Fastern railroad heaved enormous rocks on the roof of the house, which stood adjacent to the viaduct, Soon the roof was wrecked and fell in, hut the bandits continued firing.A woman named \\Vuillemin, a friend of Garnier's, emerged from the house.She was arrested.When M.Lepine, the prefect of police, arrived he immediately assumed command, and the scene took on all the military aspects of a battlefield with reinforcements constantly coming in.M.Lepine held a council with the captains of the gendarme and the Zouaves and finally decided as he did in the case of Bonnot an Dubois at Choisy-1.e-Roi, to blow up the bandits lair, The Zouave bugler sounded \u201cCease Firing\u201d and then \u201cRetreat.\u201d The crowds were now almost overwhelming and the severest measures were necessary to force them back beyond the danger line.With the piercing notes of she bugle, the noisy clamar of the surging multitude among the crowds in the nearby streets, which were jammed hy jostling and excited people, that the villa was about to he blown up.Soon the roar +f an explasion broke baw, Young & Co.; .TOILLY P DRY FRENCH VERMOUTH RAT Montreal.J would it end ?EIGHT HOURS\u2019 BATTLE WITH THE LEADER QUEBEC, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15,1912., the silence, and masses of people rushed forward and tried to force their way through the police lines to see the result.Inspectors and artillery lieutenants had thrown dynamite bombs from the viaduct.The explesion was so great that it shook the entire town and gave the impression that an earthquake had occurred, but when the smoke and dust from the \u2018wreckage cleared away tie sharp crack of rifles from the interior of the building show ed that it had failed to accomplish its purpose.The Zouaves and gendarme» sharply returned the fire.When the bandits resumed the aggressive, M.Lepine himself had à narrow escape from death.Although some distance from the villa a bullet passed within an inch of his shoulder and buried itself in the wall of a house, sending up a shower of fragments into the prefect\u2019s face.The crowds, forced back further and further, lost patience and vented their feelings in a wild chorus of \u201cDeath to the bandits.\u201d The arrival of a brigade of reserve police gave the crowd a chance to cheer.It was evident after the explosion that the bandits had taken re - fuge in tue cellar.They then mounted to the attic from which they direet- ed a steady fusilade.In the uncertain glare of torches, the scene was dramatic in the extreme.The bescig- ers anxiously asked themselves when Trains from Paris conveying the working people to their homes stowly passed over the hridge.thousands a view of the light.At 10.15 M.Lepine ordered electric searchlights from Paris, as there was great danger in the obscurity of tue hesiegers accidentally hooting their fellows.As a matter of fact the captain of the gendarmes and several | soldiers had a lucky escape, their head: being grazed by hullets fired by civilian members of the attacking party, whose ardor was better than their skill and judgment.The Prefect also requisitioned ex- affording | Vata for Tellier and His Candidates To-day you are called upon to decide who will be your representatives in the next Parliament of the Province of Quebec.The question is, Has the record of the Gouin Government justified its : return to power?The answer is, No.The Gouin administration has lamentably failed to develop our natural resources.The revenues from these sources that should be the index of real prosperity are in many cases no greater to-day than they were years 280.If the Government has-a satisfactory statement to show, it is because of the increase in taxes.And yet the Government says it has not taxed the people.It has

of the School for Higher Commercial Studies in Montreal.These are monuments of extravagance.Hundreds of thousands are being squandered on expensive buildings and hardly anything on genuine education.These loans have been contracted by the Gouin administration.It is responsible for them.But they do not figure in the statement of public liabilities.Neither does the loan of ten million dollars for good roads.But the Government will be responsible for it.By its carelessness and inefficiency, the Government has allowed unscrupulous men and insurance companies to swindle hard-working people out of their savings when it might bave prevented this by a more rigid supervision of the companies\u2019 affairs.It has disgusted settlers and driven them elsewhere through its neglect, delay

fatally to the daring soldier.The Zouave then climbed to the attie ot an adjacent house, which had been vacated like others nearby, and fired a dozen shot< through the damaged roof of the Moulin Rouge.but without result.The tiring ceased for a time, the bandits either being exhausted or saving their ammunition, while the soldiors were forced tn dis continue pending the arrival of a new stock

that on the whole it is satisfactory and compares well with the same period of previous years.The wet weather experienced during the commencement of the month was general throughout the province and left the soil in such à state as to make seeding impossible for from a weck to 10 days.However, in most districts wheat is all in the ground and there will be but slight increase in the area sown.A reliable estimate of the area sown to wheat will be 1s- sued later.The recent warm weather 1s hring- ing the seer that was m the ground prior to the wet spell forward rapidly, In some districts, particularly along the Canadian Pacific railway, Pheasant Hills branch, the crop ia fully two inches above ground, The enforced hackward seceding reduced the i grea that otherwise wonld have heen | town to wheat that in all likelihood would have been sown to cereale with a proportionate increase.Considerable crop has been put in on stubble with very hght cultivation, while the rain alen prevented the burning of mueh of the stubble.There is a superfluity of moisture in the soil in practically every district of the province.What is now most needed is a period nf warm and dry weather to bring forward the crop and make the ground lit for further seeding.In some districts, Maple Creek, Swift Current and Battleford, a large number of acres than usual have been put into cats and barley.Only at out.Iying points was there a scarcity of farm help.In the longer settled distracts the farmers had evidently secured all help needed for spring work.tected by a steel chield.owed his

the past administration has been responsible for some good legislation it would be idle to deny, but on the other hand it has failed to avail itself of many opportunities and does not seem alive to it not been for the fear of the elections it would have still plodded on In the same oid rut and there is great danger that, if it is returned, all its promises will be forgotten.One thing against the past administration is its slowness in developing our natural resources.In Ontario the population is only 25 per cent more than in this Province, but the agricultural production is double, 1910 the mines of Ontario gave a return of 42 millions, while those of this Province only gave a revenue of eight millions.The population of Quebec incresses far more rapidly than that of Ontario, but there is hardly anything done here to hasten colonization, as Every year scores of thousands of French and English Ganadians leave the Province to seek better conditions else- In is continues, The tide of

Montreal is well worthy of attention from English voters in this city and district: The importance of the present provincial campaign warrants us in calling your personal attention to the issues now being fought out by the two parties striving for mastery in the Quebec Legislature.Up to the present time the English-speaking electors of this province have only taken a partial interest in local political sf.fairs, but we will endeavor to show you briefly why you should he especially on the alert at the present time as an industrious, enterprising and law-abiding minority amongst our French-speaking fellow-countrymen.We have never, as a matter of fact, assumed our proportionate responsi bility in provincial affairs, for the res- son that we have generally folded nur arms at the conclusion of our federal elections and allowed our French- Canadian compatriots to assume every forward movement, every responsibility and almost every effort in connection with provincial politics, and if today we have little influence in the public life of the province compared with what a wealthy and intelligent minority should enjoy, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.Speaking in a general sense, we have nothing ta complain of as to the treatment meted out to the Englishspesking people -in this province in matters affecting minority or religious rights, Our French-Canadian compatriots are good neighbors, and continent as were ln existeace twenty » we are confident of the fact that they \u2018a vote for revenge.would hail with great satisfaction a more lively participation on our part in the government and administration of the province of Queebe.In a wordy French-Canadians will extend the Sesame hearty and sincere wetfome to a more active Englishspeaking couperation in provincial affairs as do the English-speaking parliamentarians at Ottawa when à strong mau crosses the threshold of the House of Commons from any portion of Prench Canada.There are more reasons than one why every English-speaking citizen of Quebec province should go to the polls on the fifteenth of this month.for there are interests at atake which appeal particularly to the minority.ou, for the most part, voted for 8 protective policy and for true Canadianism at the federal elections, and it is in order to silence once and for all those who would tamper and trifle with our tariff and our Canadian citizenship, that we ask you to aga reaffirm the principle of hands off Canada, and especially Quebec.when you mark your ballot on the fifteenth of the month.\u2019 .An ex-minister of .the Crown, Sir Wilfrid Laurier's fiest lieutenant in this province, and a law partner of the present prime minister of Quebec, stated a few evenings ago at a public banquet given in this city to a provincial minister, that the fight for reciprocity had only just begus.intimating at thé same time that a vote for Sir Lomer Gouin would be the vindication of the fallen leader at Ottawa.Will you for one cast a ballot that will be haffed all over the Donunion as the rehabilitation of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his free trade partizans and at the same time cooperate with President Taft and his campaign to make this province and this Dominion an adjunct of the United States?Will you cast a bal lot to transfer the trade of our Canadian West to American cities and our banking busiress to New York and Chicago.as has been suggested by the President of the United States?If you are a Canadian you certainly will not.Then, Mr, Charles A.Gauvreau, M.P.for the county of Temiscouata, who holdly introduces federal issues into the present campaign, has written to his electors that a vote for Gouin is a vote for Laurier and that a vote for the present government is Can anything, therefore, be plainer than the desire on the part of the Liberal party to conduct the present election on federal lines, and bring about a reversal of the popular verdict which was given so emphatically on the twenty- first of September last.Consequently.this letter is written for the purpose of warning you against these unpatriotic appeals and we ask you to remember that the same men who were behind Laurier in the federal elections in his efforts to make this |.province an \u201cadjunct\u201d of the neighboring republic are also surely hehind Sir Lomer Gouin and his ministers.| and that the same loyal sentiment will no doubt animate you to vote against their candidates which prompted you to vote against Taft, Laurier, Champ Clark and reciprocity last fall.Will you give Mr.Tellier a helping hand on the fifteenth of the month?No man ever had a keener insight into men and races than the late lamented Sie John A.Macdonald, and he, at the beginnig of his political career, selected his allies from amongst the French Conservatives.He found them good and patriotic Canadians, and the alliance thus formed has remained intact down to the present day, and knowing Mr.Tellier as we know the revered leader of the opposition we are confident that your interests and ours will be perfectly safe in his hands.Strengthen him.therefore.by sending men to the Legislature who will be in sympathy with his honest and progressive policy, and who will he strongly represented in the ministry which he will soon be called upon to form.By so doing you will be performing your duty as a good Canadian citizen.C.ERNEST GAULT, President of the Liberal Conservative Club.JOHN ROYD, President of the Sir John A.Macdonald Ctub.AN OPEN LETTER From à Well Known Clergyman Showing How Indigestion Can Be
