Berlin, September 9.-Today was the worst the financial world has experienced since the beginning of the Moroccan cri- sis. It was darker than any during the American panic of 1907.
 Although there were no developments to justify 1t, feeling approaching panic was widely evident throughout Germany. Newspaper offices were repeatedly queried as to whether 1t was true that the mobil- izstion of the Germany army already had been ordered. A storm of selling orders burst upon the Bourse. Further savings bank runs were developed at Cologne, Essen, x-Les- Chapele and other places.
 The seat of unrest seems to be in the provinces. Small investors fear war is about to break. They are determined to secure their investments at all costs, but the big banks gave them no encourage ment Tn ttse selling movement The break in the Arnetiean Irarkst, the bad crotl situation and the expectation that the high cost of living would lead to labor troubles, all contributed to- the sharp de- cline in prices on the Bourse.
 The situation was so serious that 1t evoked a scathing inspired rebuke. ad the Lokal Anzeiger, pointing out the folly of persons losing heads over senseess and incredible rumors now in circulation, the falsity of which was evident

ready had been reached regarding the general object of the Franco German negotiations. relative to Morocco. but that time was necessary to work out the guarantees.
 If public feeling rises the govern nient probably will be forced to Issue an official statement regarding the Moroccan situation, though it Is feared this will influence the negotiations In an unfavorable manner.
 Madrid, September 9.-Five thousand Spanish troops have received orders from the ministry of war to reinforce the Spanish garrison at Melila on the Riff coast of Morocco. The govern ments action is due to the constant re- ports received from the commander of the garrison saying that the natives continued to annoy the soldiers by their attacks on the Spanish outposts.
 Paris, September A ministerial conference today decided to keep under command the twd year service men whose terms in the French army expire September 24, 25 and 26 owing to the tension with Germany, unless Germany releases her two year men whose serv- ices are due to export between Septem- Der 24 and 27.
 France appears to be slowly transfer ring her troops to points closer to the northwestern frontier as an ordinary precaution, which it would be erroneous to infer means the expecta- tion of war. The movement might mean a reply to the considerable mili- tary activity beyond the Rhine.

Der of influential citizens, w. P. G. Harding, a close friend of the gover- nor ranking among the leading advo- cates.
 Secretary Stallings is a brother of J. F. Stallings, who has long been close ly identified with the governor in all of his councils.
 The commissioners selected by the chief executive are to begin their work at once, the task of discriminating be- tween the saloon applicants in the city of Birmingham giving every promise of being hard problem in every sense. It Is said that their selections will be made at some time within the next three weeks. and that the saloons of the Magic City will be in operation, in less than one month.
 Before. arriving at the decision which placed Commissioners Agee, Wilkinson and Moore in office, it is known that the governor had under careful con- sideration the names Of several other prominent Birmingham citizens, nota- bly Judge Nesmith and Joseph T. Col lins. Friends of Dr. B. L. Wyman ardently pushed his candidacy for one of the plums.
 Commissioner Wilkinson left for the Magic City on the same train with Chair man Agee, and agreed with the views of the chairman Commissioner Moore, who left on the 6 o'clock train, made a similar statement.

Believed to Be Fleeing From Cheng Tu Through Rob-
 Der Infested District
FLOOD SITUATION
 IS MOST SERIOUS
Rioting First Aimed at Oriental Gov ernment Is Now Turning Toward Foreigners Who Believe Earth
 Dragons Are Angry

Pekin. September 9.-For three days no message has been received from the hun dred foreigners who are gathered at for safety from the mobs which have been running riot in the surrounding districts for some time. The Chinese viceroy advised the foreigners to leave the city, and it is believed they are now making their way towards the Yang Tse Kiang river, which is about 300 miles, by cart or river through country where anti foreign proclamations have been posted for many weeks.
 It is understood the fugitives are un- der the escort of Chinese troops, but 1t is considered questionable if these troops would oppose their own people should an attack be made on tne foreigners. There are British gunboats on the Yang Tse above the gorges, which extend from Ichang to Chung King. The American ships were ordered up river, but were unable to proceed above Ichang, many hundred miles from Cheng Tu.
 The Americans among the refugees num- Der 30. With the exception of a represen- tative of an American tobacco company, al are Methodist or Baptist missionaries. Placards which have been posted in many places state that some foreign bankers have been enriching themselves at the expense of the poverty stricken Chinese.
 The most influential Chinese newspapers in Pekin give unqualified support to the agitation in the provinces and petitions have been presented to the throne ask ing that the railway programme be re- sciDded and that the provinces be per- been projected by the government, with the aid of foreign capital.
 It is pointed out that government sur render would mean the gravest calamity. In the first place, no railways would be constructed, as it has already been urged thorties are incompetent for such task as well az corrupt. In the second place, 1t would practically mean the termination of government control tn the provinces and finally a reactionary relapse would be certain which some of the legations believe would be the beginning of the em- pire's downfall.
 The flood situation is the most serious in years. From Hankow comes reports that troops are driving the flood refugees fl om the cities. The English papers in Shanghai say:
 We suppose that half of the popula- ton of Yang Tse valley must be sup ported through the coming winter or starve. Probably this is the most appal- ling disaster in the history of China"

Monrgomery, September 9.-(SpeciaI.)- ". c. Agee, chairman; F. Wilkinson and Eydenham Moore, associates, and Jack T Stallings, secretary, constitute the board which will exercise excise commits sion authority over the saloons of Dir- nipgham, according to announcement made by Gov Emmet ONeaI rate this afternoon.
 The appointments were made one and cne-half hours before the chief execu- tive of the state boarded the o'cfock train tonight for New Jersey, where he goes to be present at the conference Of governors which takes place at sprrng Lake September 12-16.
 Announcement of the excise commits sioners of the Magic City brings 10 an end an eventful and interesting siege which has been on at the capitol since the local option election in the Jefferson coun- ty metropolis several weeks ago, 5ut closes an especially bitter contest which has been waging necessarily since Il o clock Friday morning when the gover- nor returned to the capitol from trip to Boston and New York, Since his arrival yesterday. his excellency. with the ex- oeption of few hours of sleep has been in almost continuous session with varrous delegations In the city in interest of tHe 300 odd candidates in the field. the eff fleets of the siege being marked when the governor boarded tonight's train for the New Jersey resort M
 According to what can be gathered at the capitol. the choice of the governor is a victory for the city commissioners of Birmingham, and especially for Commis- sioners A. o. Lane and James Weatnerly. Immediately after the conference, ws.ch culminated in the appointment of Messrs. Ageo Wilkinson and Moore, Judge Lane was asked whether or not the commis- sioners were pleased with the election.
 You can say the commissioner an- swered that the commissioners are satisfied Certainly the board will give most eminent satisfaction"
 All three of the excise commissioners are well and favorably known in Mont gomery. the consensus of opinion fol- lowing upon ,the appointments being that Birmingham will be wisely gov erned under the recently legallzed local option laws, which are now in vogue. Cshairnan., Agee, under the Smith regu- lation bill is to receive salary of sa6o0 per year, while his associates are tS receive $300O each. Secretary Stall ings is to receive salary of $1S00.
 Ii was reported around the capitol following upon the announcement or fhe selections, that Chairman Agee was harlxad bv Judge Lane in the contest. ana that MT. Wilkinson's candidacy was pushed by Commissioner Weath- erly. MT Moore was backed by num-

ternational president of the blacksmiths' union. said:
 The younger men are eager to call q strike at once, but calm consideration Is being counseled by the order men. For a young man living at home and receiving S7 a week strike benefit. a strike has no particular terrors but 1t Is different question with man who has a family to support.
 "rhe various unions have voted to strike unless recognition of the fed eration is accorded by the railroad of ficials. but in face of refusal of this recognition the advisory board has hopes for a peaceful adjustment of the dispute"
 From statements made by several of the labor leaders before going into con ference. it appears that the meeting will probably last well into next week. The situation will be thoroughly dis oussod before decision is reached, they said.
