BUFFALO, N. Y. March o.
Thirty miles from metropolitan Buf.
falo, on the C~attaraugus Indiar
reservation, civilization turns bach
500 years as the Great Spirit still
guides the way to the Happy Hunt
ing Grounds.
Witchcraf-, weird rites and the
fearful Superstitions or primitive
man vie with Christianity. Half Of
the 1900 Indians there are adml.

ancestors did before Columbus land
ed. The other half are. nominally
at least, Christians-converts u
the white mans religion, but, q.
the same time. fearful TO complete
~ give up the religion OF the rec
man.
And from this Indian reservation
with its strange admixture Of moi
ern and primitive beliefs and fear
OF witches has come one Of the
most unusual murder trials ever
brought before a Buffalo court with
the following cast of characters:
Henri MarChand. 43. internation-
ally famous sculptor and art d.

Natural Sciences, whose wife. Mrs.
Clothilde Marchand. was murdered
by an aged Indian woman at the
alleged jealous instignati0n Of

Sassafras Charlie was O typical
Indian OF the reservation. In the
spring he pe6dled sassafras roots
In Buffalo. In the summer. he sold
wild flowers on a Buffalo street
corner. as did Nancy.
The Indians live by meagre
farming, fishing and basket max
ing.
The pagan Indians live on one
side OF the reservation and the
Christians on the other. The Chris
tians have their little church, sur
rounded by a graveyard with white
crosses. The pagans have their own
cemetery. q short stick protruding
from each grave to guide the spirit
of the departed to the Happy Hunt
ing Ground.
Before Mrs. Marchand's death
there had not been a witch muir
der" among these Indians since
1921. In that year, a Squaw was
accused OF uithcraft and convicted
by a tribal council. Awaiting ex-
ecution, she escaped TO Canada.
Braves brought her back and the
old chief plunged a knife through
her heart.
But the story Of a primitive
witchcraft murder In the heart OF
Buffalo Is not half as interesting as
the story Of what led up to 1.-THE
strange love affair between Mar
chand, artist and sculptor OF inter
national fame. and an Indian girl
who Is a descendant OF Mary Jemi-
son. "the white woman of the
Genesee," famous in the history OF
the Niagara frontier.

CONTROL 0F COTTON ASKED
Member of Farm Board Urges Drastic Changes

Washington. April 14 P>-Wide supervision and control of cotton futures exchanges and 'pitiless pub licity concerning the operation of specific traders" was recommended today in a letter by Carl Williams. or the federal farm board, and placed before the house agriculture committee.
 The letter was addressed to Representative Vinson, democrat, Georgia.
 It was made public as the com mittee opened hearings in the Geor- gian's bill to place cotton exchanges under federal regulation.
 T believe the department Of agri- culture should be given every power for supervision and control over the cotton futures exchanges that it now has over the grain exchanges" Will Hams wrote, 'and I further believe it should have the added power of pitiless publicity concerning the op- eration of specific traders, including a statement on their position and the volume of their trades
 The secretary should be empow- cred to require daily reports not only from the clearing house but from every brokerage concern which handles transactions on any cotton futures exchange, covering such in formation as the department may re- qure to keep it completely informed with respect to any speculative man. ipulaton or other operation which might prove to be against the public interest"
 Styled "Too Drastic"
 Chairman Legge of the farm board announced today he had advised Chairman McNary of the senate agriculture committee that a pend ing senate bill to prevent the sale of cotton and grain in future markets was too drastic a chance and would completely upset the market ing machinery, although we realize the need for improvement"
 "Inasmuch as the handling, pro cessing and financing of several of our major crops are so completely based on the present futures market system, which has been in operation for many yearsy Legge wrote, i've are fearful that 30 drastic a change would completely upset the market ing machinery, although we realize the need for improvement. We think a. change, in order to avoid disrup- ton, will have to come gradually.
 "We believe" he continued, that decided improvement in the present system could be accomplished if the exchanges were placed under proper supervision and control of the de- partment of agriculture, with power to intervene whenever the secretary of agriculture finds any operations in the farm commodity futures mar kets are antagonistic to the best in- terests of producers or consumers, or both"
 Informed Of Legge's announce ment, Senators Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, who introduced the bill, said off the floor:
 "Mr. Legge's statement discloses what I think everybody has realized that when he is called upon to sac rifice the gamblers in the cotton and grain exchanges or the farmers he prefers that the farmers shall suf- fer.'
