Convicted 1oodIers Freed by Decision
Of Missouri Supreme Court.
st. Louis, Dec. Rehabilitation Of

court which brings into question the
legality Of hundreds of arrests and
convictions recently made on informa-
lions in St. Louis and which, accord
ing to Circuit Attorney Folk. opens the
doors OF the penitentiary through
writs Of habeas corpus to many others,
was received here Monday by that Of.

The decision is that reversing the
case Of the State vs.. William Bonner,
which holds that an information is
sued by the circuit attorneys Office
must be sworn to by prosecuting wit
nesses in the case and that circuit at
torneys or prosecuting attorneys could
only swear to information from per-
sonal knowledge OF the facts.
For two years Under a former de-
cision of the supreme court and under
the constitutional amendment of 1900
and the act of 1901, prosecuting attor-
neys and circuit attorneys have been
giving information under theft Off
cial oaths.
In st. Louis alone, it is tated,
fully 1000 cases have been tired on
such information and convictions re-
suited.
In the list of cases which, under the
ruling of the court, could be affected
if the plea of illegal arrest were raised,

Formation Of Permanent Govern.
ment Proposed.
Washington, Dec. 14.-The state de-
partment has been informed that final
steps have been taken for the forma-
ton of permanent republican form
of government in Panama. The news
came in a dispatch from Consul Gen.
eral Gudger as follows:

meets Jan. TO-"
This action is taken, it is believed,
to meet suggestions from Panamans
here that criticism of the new repub-
lie would be largely disarmed and the
status of the new treaty improved if
the final ratifications could be ex-
changed by the United States with a
permanent and regular form Of gov
eminent on the isthmus.
The territory of Panama is so small
that, according to the belief here, the
elections can be completed within a
week after the date named-Jan. 4.
The convention is expected to follow
generally the outlines of the Cuban
constitution, which is regarded as the
most modern and complete model Of
such documents. p,

Senate Committee Considers the Utah
Senatorship.
Washington, Dec. 14.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
met during the day to outline policy
to be pursued in Investigating the pro-
tests filed against Senator Reed Smoot
being permitted to retain his seat and
decided that before taking any fur
ther steps in the matter Senator
Smoot should be given opportunity
to make reply to the charges.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the
committee, was instructed to notify
Mr.. Smoot of the decision of the COM
mittee and to request that whatever
reply he may desire to make shall be
in writing. -.
In addition to the innumerable petit
lions filed with the committee for the
expulsion of MIR. Smoot two protests
from citizens of Utah were presented
and briefly considered by the commit
tee. These protests charge Mr.. Smoot
with being polygamist. They also
charge that the Mormon church, of
which Smoot is an apostle, holds its
own laws to be superior to those of
the state and they contend that the
church still stands for polygamy.
