Story ,n Senator PettuH.

Story on Senator PettuS.
 A story about Senator E.. w. Pettus that is especially good Is going the rounds and has come to Montgomery by the usual grapevine:
 The punctilious standard of respon- sibil!ty set up for himself by Senator Pettus of Alabama was Illustrated a few days ago. A capper young man called upon him, the grandson Ut an old Southern friend long dead. The caller talked MT. Fettus out of $50. promising tc return it in a few days, but the Senator learned that the young man had immediately deserted his wife and gone D parts unknown.
 The fine old gentleman lost no time in hunting up the deserted wife, gave her enough money to meet her pressing necessities and also paid her way back If l hadn't loaned the young scamp money said Senator Pettus, when ask ed about the incident. he would not have been able to get out of Washing ton and desert his poor little wife. l therefore hold myself responsible for her unharpy plight and. of course, there was nothing for me to do but send her back home tG her people.
 Banner Month for Interpretations.
 The growth of Montgomery is proba- bly no more strikingly Illustrated than by the statement of Barnard Gaston of the Probate Judges office, who has de- clared January. 1907. is record break CT for the number of corporations who have filed certificates in the office.
 During January. fifteen companies re- corded with the Probate Judge declara- tions of incorporation, with 2 combined authorized capital stock of $317000.
 This Is the largest number for any one month since have be en connected with the office, and I have been here since June. 190o," said MT Gaston. 'I blieve it would be correct to say 1t is the largest monthly number in thr his tory of the office.
 The largest authorized capitalization Of any single corporation during the month was $1OG,00 The smallest was $2, 1000.

tentes were praying Tales invited
Marques out of the church to settle
the quarrel. The boy accepted the
challenge and Tales shot him as he
come out of the door of the church.
Tales claimed self defense at the
time because Marques had a pistol

CITY OF TANGIER IS
THREATENED HOURLY
Repeated Attacks on French Sol
dlerS RepulSed Thus Fdr--Sul-
tan Fearing For His Life
Has Fled Into
Interior.

Paris August 13.-The situation
In Morocco today is the most serious
that has confronted civilization since
the Boxer trouble in China in 1900.
Unlike the Chinese of that day, the
Moors are well armed, and thesecruel,
wild Arabs of the desert are the most
fearless fighters in the world
All reports Indicate q gathering Of
the tribes, not only from the interior
of Morocco but from the entire north
border of the Sahara desert.
They are making mostly for Tan
gier, the metropolis of Morocco, To-
Gated in the Mediterranean, outside
of which are already gathered thou
sands of fierce Mohammedan horse
men, chanting from the Koran,
preaching a holy war" and thirst
ing for the blood of the hundreds Of
Christians and Jews in Tangier.
The city could not be defended an
hour against these fanatics once they
made the plunge, and the powers are
expecting to hear momentarly that
charge has been made.
Every arriving steamer brings
stories of fresh attacks made upon
and repulsed by Gen. Drude's troops.
Details are conflicting, but generally
they agree. After a heavy attack on
the camp Drude in person established
a post of 200 men east of the city 10
ing place. This post was repeatedty
attacked throughout the day. Ad-
vanced posts also were stationed to
cover the city side, while the fleet
protected the side toward Rabat. Sew
eral charges were beaten off. The
tribesmen in large masses approached
the left main camp at full speed but
as soon as they sighted the guns of
the warships, the horsemen veered
and effected a skilful wide turning
movement. then suddenly wheeled
and charged the camp from the right
The troops who bore the front of the
assault emptied hundreds of saddles
before the Arabs broke. The troops
lost two men killed and eight wound

Gus.
The Moors also displayed a cour-
age which astonished the officers. AL
though moved down by quick -firers
and volleys from the infantry for
four days, they returned to the
charge, showing extraordinary disdatn
for death.
There is a persistent rumor here,
which comes from Moorish sources
and cannot be confirmed, that the
sultan has left Fez for Rabat and
travelling by forced marches, has ar
rived at MaZagan.
There Is still much uncertainty as
to the progress that han been in the
negotiations for the release of Sir

JAPAN IS A DESPOT IN
KOREA" SAYS
STONE
United States Senator After
Personal Visit to Seoul.
Talks.
HE SEES MAILED FIST
IN SIGHT EVERYWHERE

Seoul, Korea. August 13.-William
]. Stone, United States senator from
Missouri, who has been in Seoul a
week studying conditions here, has
given his views of the situation. He
has had an interview with Korca's
deposed emperor and with the new
ruler Senator Stone, In summing up
the situation, said:
From the Korean standpoint, the
situation is pathetic. For the first
time in my life l have seen the mail
ed hand of foreign power raised ruth
lessly over a conquered people.
"One emperor has been forced to
vacate to make place for a weakllng
and both are held in practical i'm
prisonment by their conqueror. There
is an armed Japanese force about the
palace and the Koreans are denied
the right of communication with the
palace, all save the supplant ministers
who are doing the bidding of Mar
quis Ito and who dare not show
themselves in the streets of Seoul
without a Japanese military guard.
"No man, Korean or follower, can
have an audience with the emperor
except by permission of and in the
presence of Marquis Ito. The emper-
or and his father are prisoners in
their own palace and Marquis Ito Is
the real ruler, the government is de-
spotic and one of foreigners upheld
by military force. The purpose of
the japanese is to appropriate Korea
and make it the gateway for an en-
croachment. The policy of Japan is
unexampled in modern times.
But history is surely being male
here which reaches far beyond the
confines of this country and affects
for more than the destiny of this un-
happy empire. Some day there will
be reckoning"

LEGISLATORS SHOULD
NOT Be APPOINTED
New Executive Will Make Few
Changes at Least For Present
But Expects Loyalty From
Those Holding Commits
SiOnS Under Him.

Santa Fe, August 13.-(Spccial.) -
Governor Curry last evening outlined
a feature of his administration in no
uncertain language to a representa-
tive of the Citizen who called to see
him.
There are going to be few re-
movals-at least for the present"
one thing that l wish no mistake
about 1 SHALL EXPECT THE UN-
QUALIFIED, HONEST AND SIN
CERE SUPPORT FOR BOTH THE
TERRITORIAL AND NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, ADMINISTRATIQN
ING OFFICE OR COMMISSION UN-
DER MY REGIME IN THIS TER.
RITORY."
Means Every Word.
The way in which the new COVER
nor made the above statement and
the manner in which he emphasized
each word, showed that he would
see that it was complied with in so
far as he has power
Personally, l do not approve of
the appointment of members of a
Legislature to Office" he continued
because 1 do not consider it con-
ductive to honesty or to good govern
ment. At the same time, as 1 stated
before, am not going to make many
chenees at this time and my actions
in the future will be governed to a
great extent by developments.
Officials Must Work.
''However, when 1 place a man in
office under a republican administra-
tion, / expect him to support that
administration and that party just as
religiously as l expect him to give his
whole heart and his whole efforts to-
wards making the people good
honest, capable and efficient official
Whenever he can not conScientiously
support such administration or does
not care to do so for other reasons,
then he certainly has no right to q
position of trust under a regime in
which he is not in sympathy. Briefly,
those are my views on the subject.
81 am for the best government that
can be had and the square deal and
l feel sure it can be had better under
republican administration such rs
Roosevelt has outlined than under
any other that 1 see upon the polti-
cal horizon at present"
Rare Executive Ability.
Governor Curry has rare executive
ability. While he has been unable
to settle down to steady work because
of the constant stream of visitors 10
the executive office, he has neverthe-
less obtained good insight into Lhe
affairs of his own and other territor
ial offices.
Roosevelt Man.
The new governor is an enthusias-
tic Roosevelt man and he is con-
structed along similar lines to the
president. He is a man of action
rather than words but he can make
good use of both upon occasion.
Governor Curry did not care to
discuss designations at this time.
Street reports, however, are to the
effect that quite a number have been
rendered for acceptance at his pleas
ure
With the exception of the attorney
general, he has not made any changes
and the indications are that he will
not give the matter of appointments
much attention for a few weeks
longer.
