INTANGIBLES
 BY COUNTIES State Tax Commission Gets Out List. MONTGOMERY SHOWS DECREASE This Year Assessment of Franchise
 is $430,667 Short. Jefferson Leads and Choctaw Is Unique ana Alone In Having Not
 Dollar of Taxes on
 Franchises.
MONTGOMERY SHOWS DECREASE

Final calculations of the intangible assets which lie In each of the sixty seven counties of Alabama were made Monday by Secretary W. R. Lloyd, of the State Tax Commission. The total for the State is $1S.3a1 1885.
 This is less than the assessment for the tax year beginning october l. 1907. by s1,959.Ss7. As has been explained before this shortage is more than off, set by increases in physical property valuations, and indeed. the shortage Is mostly due to such increases. The total intangible assets of the State on which collections were made at the rate of 6 1-2 mills during the year 19O7-0s were s21,2s1,292.
 Jefferson County easily leads all in the assessment of her franchises. The total assigned this county this year for last year was $5.6i7,s49. Next in size to the Jefferson assessment was Mobile this being $1,769,656, This is sSg.S23 short of the assessment for last year
 Montgomery came forward with an intangible valuation of sS34,6S0. This county shows the most decrease of all in fntangfbleS. the ulHereHce III iaNoF of 19O7-0S being $430,667.
 The most interesting feature of the list just made public is choctaw coun- ty. which Is the only company not hav- ing a single dollar of franchise as- eessnent Not a mile of railroad lay in her confines at the time of fixing the assessments October 1, 1907, for this years collections.
 This also that not a gas plant, not an electric plant or street railway, nor a line of waterworks on public domain or anything of a public service nature lay in Chictaw when the assessment was made October 1, 1907.
 This situation with Choctaw will, however, be changed for the tax year beginning october 1, 1909. The valu- ations of intangible property for that year are just about to be made now by the State Tax Commission, and that body will take cognizance of about twelve miles of railroad being

Washington, Jan. u - president
Roosevelt has determined to with
draw the federal troops from Gold

port says.
''The conditions did not support the

such extent as to Justify his use OF
these statements for the purpose OF
getting federal troops.

Paris, Jan. 12.-The French govern
ment is greatly embarrassed at the
unexpected turn Of events in Morocco.
The proclaimng Of Mulai Ha6g sultan
at Fez was coineident with the ar
rival in Paris Of Mohammed Sidi El
Mokhri, who came here as finance
minister to Abdul Aziz to negotiate
loan of $30.0O0,O00 and the march

mander Of the French forces in
Morocco, with 1000 men
In twinkling the entire situation
has become changed. and the whole
country is threatened with a clyh
war. 1t is all the more serious for the
French as the dispatches which have
been received relating to the situation
leave no doubt as to the fanatical ap-
peal Of the supporters Of Mulai Halig
being directed chiefly against France
and a holy war might arouse Frances
Mohammedan subjects across the AL
gerian frontier,
Premier CIemenceau, General Pie
quart. minister of war; M. Caillau,
minister of finance, and NJ. Rednault
minister to Morocco, have been in
conference all day, although it is only
announced that arrangements were
being made to install the police at the
ports of Tangier and Rabat 1t is the
general belief that the government
cannot hesitate in taking prompt and
energetic action 1t is believed thal
this alone may save the day FOR

mean the end of the Algeciras pact,
the weakness of which is that it did
not foresee the possibility of such
chabus Of rulers
The safeguarding of the lives OF the
Europeans in Morocco seems to the
French officials sufficient reason 20
support Abdul Azi2. Nevertheless the
government faces these obstacles:
First. the possible opposition of par
lament to a step which may deeply
involve France i'm Morocco; second
Spaln's tlmidity about military ad-
venture i'm Morocco; third, the spectre
of international complications WIN
Germany. In order TO avoid such
complications it is learned tonight
the French government intends to
communicate with the powers sigma
tory to the Algcciras pact as to what
steps should be taken to meet the Sit
uation.
