ASK GOVERNVENT'T0 (20,000 LETTERS TO AND FROM _ SUPERVISE FUTURES| STEPHEN DOUGLAS ARE FOUND | MARKET IN WINNIPEG Futures System Does Not Give Security to Producer, Wit- ness Says Winnipeg, Man., April 23-—()}— Canada’s wheat pool Wednestay en- tered a plea for government super- vision of the Winnipeg grain futures market with a dramatic, last-minute dash into the spotlight of the Stamp royal commission investigating fu- tures trading. At its last session Wednesday in Canada the commission heard A. J. McPhail, chairman of the poo!'s sell- Writer’ Says Correspondence Shows Civil War Might Have Been Avoided ., Chattanooga, Tenn., April 23.—()— Discovery in a barn of more thah 20,- 000 letters to and from Stephen A. Douglas was announced by George Fort Milton Thuraday, the iéth an- niversary of Douglas’ birth. Mr. Milton, editor of the Chatta- nooga News, engaged in writing a bi- ography of Douglas, said the corre- spondence indicated that had the Tili- nois statesman been elected president in 1860 instead.of Abraham Lincoln “the Civil War would have been post- poned, and® possibly altgether averted.” Finding of the correspondence in an old box in a barn at the home of one ing agency and Andrew Cairns, pool statistician, ask the futures market be placed under supervision of a de- partment of the dominion govern- ment subject to its rules and zegula- tions. Mr. McPhail represented the “inner circle” salesmen who handle half of Canada’s wheat crop for 140,000 farmers. ‘The pool chairman declared he was strongly of the opinion that the great majority of western farmers firmly believe that the effect of fu'tires trading on the price they receive is detrimental. “There are no Gefiriite facts or figures available to them re- garding the operations of the futures market, on which to base a really in- telligent study of the whole question,” he said. Facilities of the futures market pro- vided very careful protection ic grain trade, millers and bankers, Mr. Mc- Phail admitted. “It enables these in- terests,” he said, “to catry on with increased safety if not with iucteased profit.” In his opinion, however, the system “does not provide the same security to the grain producers who are, after all, the all-important group in the picture.” Mr. McPhail’s request for futures regulations was supported by Andrew Cairns, pool statistician, who believed it paid the farmer in the long :un to carry on his own risk of price fluctu- ation and save the cost paid to the speculator for his services. Mr. Cairns denied the contention that buyers balance sellers in'a speculatice mar- ket, offsetting tendencies to price changes. North Dakota Man Sues Maytag Firm Fargo, April 23—(@)—A suit for $25,000 damages against the Maytag company and the Maytage Sales cor- poration for alleged malicious prose- cution was brought into Cass county district court here Thursday. : Action is brought by H. F. Hilborn, former salesman for the washing machine company at Devils Lake. Hilborn was acquitted of a charge of theft of a washing machine from the firm and now claims his reputation was damaged $25,000. Motion for removal to federal court has not been ruled on and is asked because the defendant is a non-resi- dent corporation. Suit was begun in Benson county and was transferred to Cass county. Man Questioned About Minneapolis Slaying Minneapolis, April 23.—()—Harry Jaffa was arrested by prohibition agents Wednesday night and Thurs- day was questioned about the slaying of Max Golden, Minneapolis boot- legger killed last year as he entered his automobile. M. L. Harney, northwest prohibi- of Douglas’ grandsons, Robert Dick Douglas in Greensboro, N. C., was de- ‘scribed by Mr. Milton as “certainly | Tn one of the two or three mest tnport- ant discoveries of source material for the history of Ameria in the nine- teenth century which has been made in recent years.” “In the past,” said Mr. Milton; “much of our history of the twilight years immediately preceding the Civil ‘War has been written from ultra- product of the New England Schoo! of Historians, with a consequent over- emphasis upon the abolitionist atti- tude; or it has come from the coun- ter-balancing extreme southern school, equal zeal and probably with equal truth to painting a picture of an United South, rushing to arms to champion certain theories of state sovereignty. “The fact that all during tne 50's, and through the crisis the call to arms, there existed in the great middle group, North, South. East and West, disconnected with the extremist views of either section, and endeavoring brayely but va:vly to preserve the Union and peace, has ‘not received anything like the notice which it properly deserves. In large measure, one cause of this under- emphasis of the conservative union sentiment has been because the pri- mary sources from which ‘istory is best written have not contained a proper supply of letters and docu- ments of this group. “The Douglas letters reveal the ex- istence of a strong union sentiment ‘throughout the South, as late »s April 15, 1861, and important figures from throughout the states of the new confederacy kept writing Douglas in piteous appeal that he work out a plan of compromise which would maintain both the union and peace. “A reading of Douglas’ correspond- ence leads to the almost inescapable conclusion that the Civil "Var-was an avoidable war, had only there been enough statesmanship North and South to do so.” Minnesotans Plan Verendrye Program Hovland, Minn., April 23—(7)— Plans for a celebration at Grand Portage, “America’s Frontier Port,” celebrating the 200th anniversary of the ldndirig of’La Verendrye, ‘the famous French explorer, are being made by the state and Cook county historical societies.

The village is Tfitepec, i the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Hicden away in the mountains, it ts reached only by a few horse crails and has almost no contact with the outside.
