Will Make Demand on Selectmen for
 Payment Of Notes.
 The condition of affairs between the town of Watertown and the Saw 1ngs bank of that place promises spe- cific developments in few days. Sat urday the board of directors of the bank held a meeting and decided to issue the following statement for the benefit of the public and the banks depositors:
 Owing to an unexpected disagree ment between the town of Watertown and this bank relative to certain loans made to the town at the time when the town hall was being erect ed, some disquieting rumors have been set afioat. We have already called upon the state bank commissioners to investigate the banks condition, and after careful examination they have pronounced it satisfactory. We ourselves have no reason to believe otherwise. Nevertheless, we have engaged a competent accountant to make a detailed examination of the banks assets and liabilities immsdi- ately, and the results so far obtained cofroborate the report of the bank 'CoIuIulSSlOnerS,
 Although during the last six months the bank has apparently earned enough to pay expenses and two per cent dividend, besides adding a considerable sum to its surplus. we have deemed it prudent to defer the declaring of a dividend for the pres ent
 We issue this statement to allay anxiety as to the condition of the bank and bespeak continuance of public confidence until this disagree ment shall be adjusted.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE
 STILL INCOMPLETE
EVERYTHING, HOWEVER, POINTS TO PEACEFUL SOLUTION OF THE TROUBLES BETWEEN RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

London, Decemhet 14-The terms of Russia's reply to 5aran have been com municated to the Japanese minister here, Baron Hayashi by the government at Tokio. The minister subsequently, said the negotiations were still incomplete but he significantly added that he saw no reason to change his previously expressed opinion that a peaceful issue would re- suit therefrom.
 After a careful examination of the Rus sian draft of the agreement the foreign office here Is inclined to the belief that its immediate acceptance by Japan is un- likely, and looks for a series of Russo- Japanese pourparlers dealing with mod ifications. It says the pourparers may last for several weeks. The foreign of fee, however, regards the draft as distinct step toward specific settlement.
 St. Petersburg, December 14-Nether Admiral Alexieff, the Russian viceroy in the far east, nor Baron DeRosen, the Russian minister to Japan, suggest any notifications of the Russian answer to the Japanese proposals. When their views were received here, Baron De Ros- en was immediately instructed to com municate the reply to Japan, and no in- formation has been received here as to how the Russian counter-proposals were received.
 It is officially announced that the recent visit of Russian warshlps to Chemulpo. Corea, was devoid of political significance. The battleship Petropavoevsk and Pot tava and the torpedo boat destroyer, Vnushiteli, have returned to Port Ar thur from Chemupo.

BOODLING CASES
 ARE KNOCKED OUT
SUPREME cUoRT OF MISSOURI RENDERS DECISION WHICH OPENS DOORS OF THE PENlTEN. TIARY TO MANY.

St. Louis, Mo-, December 14.-Notifiea- ton of a decision of the Missouri su- preme court which brings into question the legality of hundreds of arrests and convictions recently made on information in St. Louis and which. according to Cir cult Attorney Folk opens the doors of the penitentiary through writs of habeas corpus to many others, was received here today by that official In the list of cases which under the ruling of the court could be affected. if the plea of illegal arrest was raised, are the majority of the suburban franchise poodle convic- tions.
 It was stated by a well-known lawyer today that the statute of limitation in these cases expired last November, and that if the present charges against the accused men should be found defective, 1t would be impossible to bring new in- dictments against them.
 All of the cases are before the supreme court on appeal, and the records show that each case was tried on information tried by the circuit court attorney on his official oath. Among them was the case of Charles F. Kelly. former speaker of the house of delegates. convicted of perjury In connection with the suburban franchise poodle deal. sentenced to two years in the penitentiary
 MT. Folk notified Judge Mcdonald of the criminal division of the circuit court, and proceedings were stopped in all cases af- fected
 Nine cases were wiped off the docket and the witnesses sent to the grand jury room, there to give information upon which 10 base indictments to take place of the nvaldated cases preceding.
 The case of E. J. Arnold, charged with grand larceny. was one of those affected.
 The decision is that reversing the case of the state vs. William Bonner, which holds that information issued by the circuit attorneys office must be sworn to by prosecuting witnesses in the case. and that circuit attorneys or prosecuting attorneys could swear to information only from personal knowledge of the facts.
 For two years under a former decision of the supreme court and under the con- stitutional amendment of 1900 and the act of 1901, prosecuting attorneys and cir cult attorneys have been giving informa- ton under their official oaths.
 Fully 2000 cases have been tried on such information and conviction resulted.
