Missouri Supreme Court Annu,s Re

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-
ceiver for the 49, 500 900 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 Essens receiv-
ership, and replaces the affairs Of the
bank in the hands of the directors. 1t
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 a re-
porter that the supreme court mad set
aside the receivership, said:
Good. I'm glad of it. 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 49,, 900 and $4,000 stock out
standing.
We've made two payments on the
stock, the first so cents on the dollar,
the second IS cents. We are paying

New York.-Over eleven thousand
immigrants arrived in the harbor of New
York Thursday on board seven steam
ships from European ports. This num-
Der is the record for a single day which
has been made thus far during the an
nual spring rush of immigration.
Ellis island, where these Immigrants
are examined, and either rejected or
admitted to the United States, can
care for less than half the days ar
rivals, its limit being 5000 daily.
Those who can not be landed will
be kept in the harbor on their steam

NOTED MISSOURI CASE
United States Supreme Court
Doesn't Recognize Common Law
Marriage of White and Negro.

Washington.-An important opinion
was rendered by the supreme court,
Monday, in the case of Ellis Keen VS..
S%ophronia Keen, involving a contro-
versy over a small tract Of land in st.
Charles county, Missouri, to a half in
terest in which Mrs. Keen made claim,
as the widow, and to all of which Ellis
Keen made claim as a son of Eli Keen
by a negro common law wife. 1t ap
peared from the record in the case
that as far back as 1851 Eli Keen had
begun to live with a negro woman as
marriage ceremony was performed, the
relation was continued until 1888. The
woman was everywhere recognized as
his wife, and several children, among
them Ellis, were born to them and
were recognized by both of them and
by the community as their offspring.
In 1883 Eli Keen was married in West
Virginia to Sophronia Keen, claiming
that he had never before been married.
When he died Mrs, Keen made claim to
one-half of his estate as his widow, and
the Missouri courts recognized the
claim, deciding against the contention
of a common law marriage to the ne
gro woman. The opinion in the case
was delivered by Justice Brown. The
writ of error was dismissed. The eff
feet is to affirm the decision of the Mis-
souri, courts.

TWENTY DAYS UNDERGROUND
THIRTEEN CoURRERES MIME
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 ina sta

There was little nourishment. how

HAILED WITH SATISFACTION
FRENCH PRESS AND PUBLIC ARE
WELL PLEASED.
While France Did Not Secure All b
Wanted at Algeciras, Her degree
of Success IL Considered Fair.

-
Paris.-The agreement reached at
Algeciras 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 a fair degree of success
on the principal questions relating to
the police and state bank. However, it
is recognized that neither France o
Germany has secured all that was
wanted. frances desire to have con-
troll of the police was partially realized
in her being allowed to police the i'm
portant Atlantic ports including NIGGA
dor, which Germany was suspected as
coveting, and also with her ally, Spain,
to police Tangier and Casa Blanca.
On the other hand, it is thought that
Morocco was partly realized, as the
Franco-Spanish police is subordinated
to an inspector who will report to the
diplomatic corps. Thus both countries,
in a measure, were successful, but each
is SO s~afeguarded that neither will be
able to claim a victory. Frances pa
ciic penetration of Morocco, it is
thought, 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
Europe.

PERTURBS LABOR LEADERS
They Think They See Method In the
Enormous Influx OF Alien.
Immigrants.

Washiugton.-The reported arrival
Of $4,000 immigrants ate Ellis island
last week has created alarm among
labor leaders. particularly those in
control of the mine workers. The
charge has been made that many of
the immigrants were being brought
to this country in anticipation Of a
coal strike and that they will be used
as strike breakers.
No evidence has been adduced to
show that the coal operators or their
agents had contracts with any of the
immigrants. 1t is limited, however,
that Labor spectators" have paid
their passage, given them the re-
CURED entrance money and are TAX
Ing the chances of their finding employ
ment in the mines.
Instructions have been sent to Kan
sas City to ascertain the motives
which prompted 127 Greeks to go to
a single address there. There is a
suspicion that they came under con.
tract. Other inspectors have been
sent to Indianapolis to learn the pur-
poses of a large number of foreigners
who had tickets to one address In
that city.

The failure is due to large sums OF
money advanced to the Smith wagon
