DECISION IN HUFF
 CASE IS REVERSED Case Which Led to Speer Impeachment Decided by
 Court of Appeals

Macon, Ga, October 2S.-Tho United States court of appeals at New Orleans has ruled that the children of ". A. Huff, formerly mayor here, have a right to set up claims to their fathers property prior to the consideration of creditors claims. News of the decision was re- ceived here today.
 The decision reversed a decision made by United States Judge Emory Speer here several years ago which caused Huff to publicly criticize the judge, and be- gan campaign to have him impeached sional investigation early this year. The House Judiciary committees report, which was adopted recently, held that the h. vestigation did not disclose sufficient evil dence to warrant impeachment.
 Judge Speer in his decision, held that had an equity in certain of their father s ceiver, but that in other holdings they had no equity of standing in court.
 As a result of the attacks made on Judge Speer by Huff, the judge cited him for contempt. Huff was convicted, but sentence never has been imposed. The former mayor has continued to charge from time to time that his estate valued at S100,00O has been mismanaged and squandered for the benefit of the judges relatives and friends.
 The decision of the court of appeals means that a referee will again take up the case insofar as it affects Huff' s children. Huff is S4 years old.

.URGES THAT PAPERS
 WORK FOR DECREASE OF COTTON ACREAGE

Memphis October 2S. = Announce ment was made tonight that the Com mercial Appeal of this city has pro- posed to publishers of Associated Press papers in the southern states the for- nation of an organization of newspa- pers to bring about voluntary reduc- tion of 50 per cent in the cotton average in 1915. If the plan is indorsed a con- ference will be held to perfect the or ganization and inaugurate a campaign for diversified farming In the south.
 As outlined, the plan provides for the papers of each of the states to or- ganize state associations and secure the formation of suborganizations in every country to induce the planters to sign an greement to reduce thelr cotton acreage, the agreements to be volun-- tary and to be made public in each county. Bankers and merchants will be asked to keep in the movement and make liberal advances to those farmers who agree to acreage reduction.
 It is suggested by the originators of the plan that the press can prevail on the people with more promise of success than any other agency to accept a plan of reduction which would immediately bring about better prices for the prod uct and restoration of normal condi- tfons.

GERMAN SPIES ARE| ALARMING HOLLAND
Reported Kaiser Is March ing Troops on the East
 ern Border

Roosendaal, October 2S--(Via London g: :35 p. m.)-Holland, which has felt the pres sure of the war almost as much as if she were engaged in it, is particularly alarmed at report that the Germans are massing large numbers of troops on the eastern border.
 A Dutch army of more than 300.00o trained men is scattered at strategic points along the Belgian and German boundaries. Roosendaal the principal troop center. is the only railway gate to Belgium that now is open Hundreds of military automobiles leave here daily with messages and supplies for the border troops
 The discovery of tennis court with cement nine feet thick on the property of German in the vicinity of Arnhem. and statements that German spies have been active near Arnhem, and at other points close to the German border have intensified feeling.
 The mouth of the River Scheldt and all the canals are heavily guarded. A large garrison is guarding the Flushing docks and railway station to prevent violation of the neutrality of the Seheldt. The river is heavily mined and Dutch cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers are lying in it's mouth.
 The horrors of war have been forced on virtually all Hollands cities, and country districts by Belgian refugees whose number is estimated at S00,000. The Dutch government is paying to the cities 30 cents daily for food for each refugee. The cities bear the other expenses con nected with the influx. In Roosendaal, Flushing and other of the smaller towns there are more refugees than inhabitants.
 Hollands supply of wheat for wnlcn she depends on the United States and Canada Is growing meager. It Is said Great Britain Is delaying food cargoes to Holland, and there is much adverse criticism of this alleged action Holland is willingly feeding the refugees within her borders. but fears are expressed that famine conditions will prevail unless the embargo is raised. The refugees are un- willing to return to Belgium, although Holland has offered them free transporta- ton. The appearance of scarlet fever among those at Flushing is causing some alarm.

]. TOM HEFL|N HERE AND ADVISES CARE IN SELECTING PLAN
Congressman Confers With Burnett and Leaves To Speak in Cullman
 County Today

J. Tom Heflin, who represents the Fifth Alabama district in Congress. while spend ing the day in Birmingham. declared that in his opinion unless the situation re- garding southern cotton was alleviated prior to December l, President Wilson would advise Congress to extend further aid.
 Tn regard 10 legislative action in Ala bama for the relief of the farmer, MT. Heflin was not enthusiastic. He said:
 ''The people of Alabama should be very careful in their consideration of various plans which have been offered for their relief. The people had better not pile up their obligations upon their obligations It appears to me that state notes of vari- ous denominations put into circulation would very soon deteriorate in value. and that banks, eventually coming into possession of all of them, would require the state to redeem them at their face value, and with interest
 Tt is my opinion that the fight by southern congressman for national aid dition is not alleviated prior te the re- convention of Congress, l believe the President, himself will advise the exten- sion of further aid.
 MT. Heflin desired it to be made plain that he was not inveighing against any plan or scheme which had been advanced or fostered for the relief of the southern planter. However, the reporter who talked with him judged that he is op- posed to an extra session of the Alabama legislature chiefly on the ground that it would be impossible to devise a prac- tical scheme on which q majority of members would agree, and which would meet all the requirements of the state and federal constitutions.
 MT. Heflin yesterday morning spoke twice in Clay county. his own district where local democratic nominees have opposition. Last night in Birmingham, he conferred with Congressman John l.. Burnett, who came to the city following a days campaigning in St. Clair and Cullman counties. As result of the conference, this morning MT. Heflin will speak in Cullman, and this afternoon in Hanceville.
