Declared Illegal by the Courts.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 20.-The Chroni-
cle's Jefferson City, Mo-, spesial says the
supreme court handed down sixteen de-
cisions. The most important was the
famous Kansas City extension case,
which was decided against Kansas City.
A year ago the city extended its limits,
taking in twenty-five miles of territory.
The census was taken under this action,
and five aldermen were elected from the
new territory. The court held that the
proceedings We're not according to law,
and that the extension was invalid Ali
the city ordinances passed since the ex-
tension will be invalidated. The popu-
lation of the city is reduced about Is. 600.
1t will probably take twenty years to
straiShten out all the legal difficulties
that will arise under the decision.
