JUDGE ]. R. HUNDLEY
 REV|E WS ORDE RS IN SOUTHERN STEEL
Handling of Case Was Not Detrimental to Inter- ests of Bankrupt
 Concern

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The article in your paper of Sunday morning, reviewing the history of the Gulf States steel company, and the Southern Steel company does m ir. Justice to me personally as well as judge of the court at the time the Southern Steel company was declared bankrupt The article in question leaves the imputation that the hand ling of that estate In my court was detrimental to the interests of the Southern Steel company, when the contrary is the case. Attention Is called to the fact of my appointment of J. O. Thompson and E. G. Chandler they are republicans, but no mention is made of the further fact that I also appointed the late Col. T. c. Bush and Edgar M. Adler, as receivers, both of whom were democrats. The politics of the gentlemen had nothing to do with their appointment, and the fact is that MT Adler was appointed on the sug- gestion of the gentleman whom you say opposed my confirmation.
 It is further stated in the article that Messrs. Thompson and Chandler both were without experience in the iron and steel business" while the fact is ignored that Messrs. Bush and Ad- Ter were experts in such business, and that when the creditors met to elect trustees of the estate, a resolution in troduced by Hon. W. P. c. Harding, commenting the splendid management of the estate by the receivers was adopted unanimously.
 It Is further stated that in the fight against my confirmation, it was ar gued that I 'did not have the proper temperament for federal judge" but the fact is overlooked that this, com plaint was thoroughly investigated by the judiciary committee of the United States Senate, on three separate occa- sions, each time reporting in favor of my confirmation and on two occa- sions, the Senate confirmed my ap- pointment by unanimous vote, which was afterward reconsidered out of senatorial courtesy. The further fact is overlooked that every creditor in that bankrupt estate, who did not sell his claim received 100 cents on the dollar, being the only estate of it's kind with like result in the history of the federal court in this district. and my rulings in the case of the Southern Steel company, upon every point ap- pealed, were affirmed by the unanf- nous decision of the court of appeals.
 I fully appreciate the fact that it was from want of proper information and not from any desire to mistake the facts. or leave a wrong impression, which prompted the publication.
 My friends everywhere know that the conduct of the Southern Steel com pany bankrupt case in my court has nothing whatever to do with the mat z tfo,, nd that my failure of confirmation was due to two facts, first, that I would not serve certain interests, and second, be- cause was republican,.

 of Killing of His
 Mother

Buffalo, N. Y, November 27.-John Ed ward Teiper, on trial here charged with the murder of his mother, Mrs. Agnes Teiper, sat unmoved in court today while witnesses traced and retraced the story of the events immediately following the tragedy in the orchard park road last January, when Mrs. Teiper and her son, Frederick, were slain. The state claims Teiper murdered his mother and brother and attempted to murder his sister in or der to get his mothers estate.
 MT. and Mrs. William Reppler. who live in a farm house near the scene of the murder, told of hearing screams and groans from the roadway at about Il o'clock on the night of the murder A moment later, according to Mrs. Reppler, there were three shots and a woman cried, "Oh, Fred, don't do that She in sisted that 1t was Fred" and not Ed" that she heard.
 William Young, who was in the party at the Reppler home. testified that he heard a mans voice cry Help, help! We are being murdered" Frederick lei pers body was found 30 feet back of the mothers automobile. Grace Teiper, un- conscious, was lying fin the road near Fred's body, the witness said. While he was trying to revive Grace Teiper, the physician asserted, John Edward came and gave him a detailed story of a mys- terious negro assailant.
 William J. Young of Ebenezer testified he went to the scene with a constable. When they arrived John Edward Teiper was lying on the ground. In a minute or so, Young said, Teiper jumped up and waving his arms, shouted:
 "Highwayman, let me get him!" Then Teiper asked Young for cigarette.

By CLARENCE G. THOMSON

Fort Payne, November 27.-(Spe- eiaL)-To see farmers exchanging a bale of cotton for $1O0 check is no unusual sight in Fort Payne, and the other towns along the Wills valley of DeKalb county One of the striking features of Fort Payne at this season of the year Is the great activity of the cotton market.
 This progressive little town, located in the valley alongside Lookout moun- tain, has the distinction of paying best market prices for cotton. Last Satur- day the streets were thronged with farmers who were selling cotton to the brokers and merchants. The town was active, for cotton was bringing 20 cents, or an average of 500 bale, and while the farmers were selling 1t was largely in bale lots, as one grtz- xled old fellow said, "B'gosh, I'm fig uring on gittin' a quarter a pound fer my cotton, and I'll be hanged if don't b'lieve Woodrow Wilsonn give 1t to

MARKS OF PROSPERITY

All along this valley marks of pros perity are in evidence. The farmers, while hard hit by the heavy rains in July, have so far escaped the boil weevil, and they have cotton for sale. With two thirds crop and double price. they are considered well fixed. Merchants say that the farmers, all most as 8 whole, raise corn and Iced enough to carry their stock through without buying.
 While Fort Payne draws largely from the agricultural resources of De- Kalb county. it is not without other support It is here that the big finish ing mills of the ". B.

This judicial attitude had the result of bringing forth com ments from both the state and defense that David D. Overton had been given as fair a trial as could be given a man before the bar of justice in Alabama.
 TATE BEGINS ARGUMENT
 This morning at 9:3O o'clock the argu- ment began to the jury by Circuit So- licitor Joseph R. Tate of Birmingham. There were fully 20oo men, women and children in the courtroom. How they had managed to squeeze themselves within the confines of this not overly large court room was a mystery only explainable by the fortitude of human curiosity. The people of Huntsville and Madison county wanted to hear the arguments to the jury and they bore any discomforts that came from the gratifying of such curi- oslty with the mien of Spartans.
 Solicitor Tate, in his argument laid very little emphasis on the evidence in the case. He did not analyze what could be adduced from the facts sworr in the trial. but he did emphasize with a deadly seriousness the duties imposed upon the citnzenship of Madison county to bring in such verdict as would serve as adequate warning that the day Of tho lawbreaker and bloody murdered had passed His address was characterized by quiet dignity and he had the at tention of the jury throughout. He urged the death sentence, as the only equitable punishment that would be in accordance with the proved facts of the state tha Judge I.awler had been the victim of { foul political conspiracy, to the end tha his mutilated body had found a restint place in slimy slough of the Tennessee river until recovered by the officers Q the law.

LITTLE ALARM OVER
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Only One Case Reported to State
Health Officers This Year-ls QUAR-
antinod In Boise.

There is no reason to feel particu-
larly alarmed either in Boise or In
Idaho with regard to the epidemic OF
infantile paralysis, which has New
York, as well as some other cities, in
the east, in it's grip, says the Capital
News. While one mild case of this
dread disease has developed in Boise,
the health officers have acted prompt
ly and strict guarantees have been
put into effect. Neither the state,
county nor city officials are alarmed
at all, although several conferences
have been held to take such precau-
tionary steps as are necessary. DR..
Ralph Falk, secretary of the state
board of health, said that the board
had taken no action but as secretary
he had held conference with Health
Officer Cation and the matter of strict
quarantine had been discussed
In 1910 there was an epidemic of
infantile paralysis in Idaho. Since
then there have been only occasional
cases of the disease in various parts
of the state There is nothing unus-
ual, said DR.. Falk, in the appearance
OF a case of this disease in Idaho.
ASKED II comparison ndu ever DcSh
made showing that infantile paralysis
it, the intermountain country is less
severe than the disease is in the east,
DR.. Falk said he had never heard OF
such a comparison being made or that
such statement was correct.
The advice given by state, county
and city officials is that sanitary con-
d;tions be improved and greater pre-
cautions be taken with the children
Governor Alexander was asked if it
was his intention to issue a quaran-
tine proclamation at this time and re-
piled that it was not nor did he see
the occasion for so doing. The COVER
nor of Oregon has issued such a pro-
clamation.
The one case of infantile paralysis
in Boise did not originate here. The
child was brought to Boise by its par
ents from one of the valley towns
The city physician, Councilman Davis,
Health Officer Cation and Mayor Hays
have held a conference with regard to
the case and decided upon a strict
quarantine.
