IS MOST THROUGH ANYHOW
ceivership of the Peoples Unit cd States Bank.

St. Louis.-The Missouri supreme court in Jefferson City reversed Friday the action of the St. Louis county cir cult court in appointing Fred Essen re- eeiver for the $2,500,000 Peoples Unit ed States bank, of which E. G. Lewis is president.
 An opinion defining the scope of the decision will not be handed down for several weeks. The decision means, lawyers say, the end of Essen's receiv- ership, and replaces the affairs of the bank in the hands of the directors. It is said, however, that the directors can not continue the operation of a bank without obtaining a new charter and starting anew
 Receiver Essen, when told by re- porter that the supreme court mad set aside the receivership. said:
 Good. I'm glad of 1t. I'm about through with the bank, anyhow. What do mean? Merely that every debt has been paid, the depositors have got ev- cry dollar due them and there's only between $35, ,000 and $40,0O0 stock out standing.
 We've made two payments on the stock, the first 50 cents on the dollar. the second 35 cents. We are paying out S5 cents on the dollar

TWENTY DAYS UNDERGROUND
THIRTEEN COURRIERES MINE
 VICTIMS RESCUED.
Been Entombed Twenty Days All Well But One.

Lens, France Thirteen of the miners who were entombed in the Courrieres mine at the time of the great fire disaster there March 10, were taken alive from the mine early Friday by a searching party which was engaged in exploring the mine.
 The men had lived 20 days shut off from the light and almost deprived of air. With one exception they were all well when reached by the rescuers, al though they could not have lived much longer. The rescued miners were taken from shaft No. 2 As the searching party was engaged in this shaft noises were heard. The explorers called out, and there were answers to their shouts. They began digging hurriedly in the direction from which the answers came, and finally dug out the miners. They were quickly taken back to the foot of the shaft and lifted to the ground above.
 When they were shut off from escape by the explosion and fire which fol- lowed, the miners took refuge in a sta ble used for the mules employed in the mine. They had subsisted for days on the lunches of their dead comrades which had been taken down the day of the disaster. With this food exhausted they resorted to eating wheat and oats which were kept in the stable for the mules. Water was also found, and thu miners managed to sustain life.
 There was little nourishment, how ever, in this food, and 1t would only have been a question of hours when the men must have succumbed One man was already in a serious condi- tion, but the others were we'll.
 One of the rescued miners was a boy of IA. who had endured the hardships to which all had been subjected with all the courage manifested by his sen iors.

HAILED WITH SATISFACTION
FRENCH PRESS AND PUBLIC ARE
 WELL PLEASED.
Wanted at Aigeeiras, Her Degree
 of Success is Considered Fair.

Paris.-The agreement reached at Algecirls Is hailed with satisfaction by officials and by the public press, which is weary of the prolonged controversy and the disturbing possibilities of war. The view in official circles is that France secures q fair degree of success on the principal questions relating to the police and state bank. However, 1t is recognized that neither France nor Germany has secured all that was wanted. Frances desire to have con- trol of the police was partially realized in her being allowed to police the im- portant Atlantic ports including Moga- dor, which Germany was suspected as coveting. and also with her ally, Spain. to police Tangier and Casa Blanca.
 On the other hand, 1t is thought that Germanys desire to internationalize Morocco was partly realized. as the FrancoS Spanish police is subordinated to an inspector who will report to the diplomatic corps. Thus both countries, in measure. were successful, but each is so sateguarded that neither will be able tc elaim victory. Frances pa- eifie etration of Morocco, 1t is thougD is remotely postponed as it is likewise to the cream of the vast northwest African empire. Aside from the details of the great achievement, the officials consider that the agree ment between France and Germany as- sures the preservation of the peace of Eurone
