SPRINGFIELD. 111., Feb. 3— (UP) A previously unpublished le.ter by Abraham Lincoln show- | ed today that the great emancipator was a smart lawyer who knew the vaVie of a sympathetic judge. Lincoln wrote the letter at Urbana. 111., on June 1, 1852, eight years before he became president. It was addressed to one "E. C. Ccllins. ESQ.,” Either a client or another lawyer. In the 1 .ter, Lincoln advised Collin.) that since a certain Judge Davis was presidng in court, apparently Champaign county circuit court, 'a judgment is hardly possible in the amour, asked." I The letter iniicates that Lincoln thought the judgment j request should be reduced ot that he might try for R change of venue to another court. The letter is now in the possi ssion of Earl Owen Fay, caretaker with his father, H. W. lay, of Lincoln's tomb. Kay •fc .ught the letter "for a gooc sum" from M. L. Mosehenrows a New York City tavern opera-
tor.
Mosehenrows found ihe letter among five 1- ads of junk left by his brother, a junk dealer, when he died. Mosehenrows thought the letter may have been anong papers his brother bought in his business. It was wr tten in ink. probably with a quill pen, on the "tuek-in" combination envelope Stationery popular in those days The Urbana postmaster’s stamf showed he “received five cents' for bar lling it. Fay sa 1 I the letter was valuable because it .shewed Lincoln used every legitimate means L win la v suits.

by either nation.
The treaty is a modern version j of the Lalo-Ameriran pact of j 1871 which was allowed to lapse ' in 1937 because of .unacceptable 1

treaty is a clause specifically permitting either nation to agre< to international control of itoric energy, if and when such
