SLY JOSEPHINE WON NAPOLEON BY FLATTERY . - • times Soon to Publish Lost Letters Written Her Successor. BY DON GARDEN T imM Special Writfr When Napoleon Bonaparte was barely embarked upon the fantastic career that was to make him master of a vast empire, a woman's intuition foresaw the heights to which he might rise. She married him. Flattery was her weapon of attack; coquetry was her strategy Once, when he was determined to cast her off, her feminine tears saved her from defeat. At last, when she became an obstacle to his overwhelming ambition, even her artful devices could not hold him. But at least for six years this Creole daughter of a French army officer shared with Napoleon the imperial throne of France. Josephine de Beauhamais did not set out at once to win young Bonaparte. Her first reaction was mild curiosity. Napeoleons physical appearance was certainly not prepossessing. He was but 5 feet 2. His pouter-pigeon chest was too big and his legs too short. He was thin then, and a sallow skin covered sharp angularities of his face. His nervous awkwardness made him a sorry figure indeed in the brilliant salons of Paris which both frequented. But there was something in his wild blazing eyes that intrigued her. Josephine Not Beautiful Neither was Josephine particularly beautiful, but she was possessed of a peculiar (and determined) charm. One of her friends wrote of her: “Her features were delicate and harmonious, her expression gentle, her tiny mouth dexterously concealed defective teeth; her somewhat dark complexion was improved by her clever use of cosmetics. Her figure was perfect, every outline well rounded and graceful; every motion was easy and elegant. "Her education had been neglected, but she knew wherein she was wanting and never betrayed her Ignorance. Naturally tactful, she found it easy to say agreeable things. . . . Unfortunately she was lacking m earnestness of feeling and true fixation of mind” Jo-epnine was then a gay widow, with two children. She had attached herself to the most brilliant Parisian social set, and became an intimate friend of Barras, one of the most powerful members of the government. Napoleon General at 27 Napoleon was already a general—at 27. His genius was recognized by a small group of high officials, but he was yet to command the campaign that was to bring him the first intoxication of universal fame. And Josephine was directly responsible for his appointment as com-mander-in-chief of the Italian expedition—which was the catapult that started Napoleon on his dizzy ascent to the peak of power. Years later, when the Eagle was caged at St. Helena and his flight was only a haunting memory, he described his romance with Josephine. “I was not insensible to the charms of women.” he said, “but up to that time I had not been petted and spoiled by them and my disposition made me timid, in their company. Madame de Beauharnais was the first to reassure me. She said some flattering things to me about my military talents one day when I chanced to be seated next to her. That praise intoxicated me; I addressed myself continually to her, I followed her everywhere; I was passionately in love with her, and my imatuation was generally known long before I ventured to declare myself.” Marching Off to War The wedding ceremony was performed on March 9. 1796. Trying desperately to stay her fleeting youth by entangling it in the net of self-dplusion, she represented herself as being a year younger than her husband. Actually she was six years older. Two days after the wedding, the young general buckled on his sword, kissed his bride fervently, and marched away to war. Immediately he began to write her the most impassioned letters—which she rarely answered. She tortured him by a seeming indifference. “Since leaving you.” he wrote, “I have been constantly sad. Your kisses, your tears, your playful jealousy. haunt my mind; and the charms of the incomparable Josephine set a bright and burning flame ablaztng in my heart and in my senses ... Ah! I implore you, let me witness some of your defects; be less beautiful, less amiable, less tender, less good—above all. never be jealous. never weep; your tears affect my reason and scorch my blood.” New Letters Found Napoleon pleaded with her to come to Italy, but Josephine dallied in Paris amidst the gaiety and brik liance of the fashionable salons untfi the season was over. Consumed with jealous doubts, Bonaparte wrote to a friend: “I am in despair: my wife doesn't come. She must have some lover who keeps her in Paris. I curse ail women!” These letters have been published, anc* his attitude toward hie first wife has been an open book for the world to read Now anew series of letters has just been unearthed from a secret hiding place—a series of 318 letters which 'were written to another woman he loved—Marie Louise, his second wife. Napoleon divorced Josephine to marry Marie Louise. Archduchess of Austria: and some phases >f this second great romance of the conqueror's life have always been shadowed by mystery. Now the darK corners of that mystery will be illumined when these letters, concealed in an Austrian castle for more than a century, are published for the first time m The Indianapolis Tunes. Th**se new letters will Inevitably be compared with the ardent, impassioned letters which Napoleon wrote to Josephine from Italy; and the world is awaiting their revelations with keenest interest.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CHAIN STORES UNFAIR, HOUSE CROUP IS TOLD Independents leek Relief Through Dyer Bill at Public Hearing. Charges that chain stores have been established next door prospering independent merchants to drive them out of business by sales under cost, today were under consideration as the House Corporai tions Committee sought to iron out defects disclosed last night in the I Dyer bill to end such practices The measure, which would prohibit the use of under-cost items to attract customers, was to be studied at a conference between J. F. O'Mahoney, Indianapolis Grocers’ Association; S. B. Walker of Wm. H. Block Cos. and Rep. J. Napier I Dyer (D, Vincennes), author of the ! bill. “We can compete with the chain store if they use fair business practices and do not ‘gang up’ on one independent man,” Mr. O'Mahoney told the committee. Walter Mercer, E. F. Bloemker, P. E. Cox, William F. Rathart and Edgar Rugenstein, represented local grocers, and Frank McCullough and Earl Goodnight spoke for independent druggists. Fearing the law might fix prices, the New Albany Chamber of Commerce yesterday voted 39 to 3 against the bill, F. A. Warner told the committee. Dental Ads Opposed Revocation of dental licenses for “unprofessional conduct” is sougnt in a House measure designed to curb advertising by dentists. Rail Bill Hearing Railroad officials, opposing the full crew bill advocated by railroad labor organizations, told members of the Senate committee last night that the measure would cause heavy additional expenses and contribute little to safety. Union spokesmen say the bill will increase safety in the operation of trains. Warehouse Bill Backed Backed by the administration, a bill creating a system of state warehouses will be reported favorably by a House committee today. The bill seeks to permit farmers to store grain as a basis of credit. A bill rewriting the fresh fruit and vegetable act also will be approved. Bonds for Mine Wages Bonds providing for the payment of wages by mine companies operating on leased property will be required under terms of a bill to be recommended to the House of Representatives today. Installation of mine safety devices also will be recommended. Delinquent Tax Relief Relief for delinquent taxpayers is provided in a bill introduced yesterday by Senators I. Floyd Garrott (R., Battleground) and Thurman A. Gottschalk (D„ Berne). The measure would permit taxes delinquent in 1934 to be paid by the first Monday in May, 1935, without fees or interest except a 3 per cent penalty. Bar Bill Offered Exclusive jurisdiction over the regulation of Indiana attorneys is sought in a bill introduced by Senator Jacob Weiss (D., Indianapolis). The bill empowers the Supreme Court to make rules for the practice of law and censure or disbar any attorney found guilty of an illegal act. Beauticians Bill Drafted A compromise bill, embodying the features of two earlier measures relating to the regulating of beauty parlors and licensing of operators, was introduced in the Senate yesterday by Senators Alanson L. Albright (D., Cayuga), and George Sands (D., South Bend). It provides for a board of three members, to be appointed by the governor, to carry out the sanitary and licensing provisions of the bill. The two groups who were divided in support of the first two measures are said to be in accord on the new bill.

‘l’ll Be Mussolini, if France Needs One,’ Says Flandin Banning Fascist Units

BY MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Staff Correspondent PARIS. Jan. 31. —"1f France is going Fascist,” Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin virtually declared the other day, “I—and nobody else—am going to be Mr. Mussolini.” With that, this energetic, hardheaded. business-like chieftain invited France's private armies—• the Croix de Feu. the Jeunesses Patriotes, the Solidarite Francaise, the Francistes and the rest—to disband. His actual words were: “I needn’t say anything more to indicate the firmness of the intentions of my government. What good, then, are these leagues which pretend to maintain themselves on a war footing? Let them, dismiss their members and send them back to work and to the legal duties of a citizen. I shall never consent to work under threats. On the contrary, I need the support of all men of good will within constitutional limits.” * Instantly there was howling sad gnashing of teeth. The professional patriots, in some cases subsided by powerful money interests, beat their breasts and sobbed. The most reputable of these organizations, the Croix de Feu, made a formal protest through their chieftain, Col. de La Rocque. a a a 7}UT it looks as if Premier O Flandin had come through. The Croix de Feu always has hotly resented the accusation that it is a "Fascist” organization. If Frtnce needs an authoritative government, its members argue, that is no reason why it should turn to Italy for a model. Its rallying cry of “Clean house and w’ork for France,” doesn't require any Mussolinian advice. The actual form of government remains an indifferent question to the Croix de Feu, the group has always maintained, so long as it is an honest government imbued with devotion to France itself. Premier Flandin’s own economic and social doctrines, carefully modified to fit what he believes to be French needs, and strictly labeled “Made in France,” are a mixture of Fascist-like “authoritarianism” and old-fashioned competitive "“laissez-faire.” The old American doctrine of free competition is strongly stressed. But at the same time, he wants control of over-produc-tion, improper prices, etc. This control he proposes to vest in French industry itself, by organizing the same sort of industrial “corporations” that Mussolini is trying out in Italy. Let business settle its own problems, he declares, but let the problems

Richardson Fights for Civil Rights for Negro Legislator Undaunted by Postponement of Vote on Measure Hiking Penalties for Discrimination. A determined drive for adoption of his bill raising to S3OO the civil penalties that may be collected for discrimination against persons because of race or color is to be made by Rep. Henry J. Richardson Jr., Negro, (D., Indianapolis) whose impassioned address in the House yesterday failed to prevent postponement of a vote.

Rep. Richardson believes sufficient time remains after Feb. 25, when the bill will be taken up, and the end of the 1935 session to permit passage. Opponents of the measure believed the bill had been disposed of when it was set down for vote late next month. The Richardson bill woud permit collection of civil penalties from hotel and theater operators and management of other public places who refuse services to Negroes and others on account of their ra*ce or color. Rep. Richardson in the debate in the House yesterday appealed to the representatives to preserve the constitutional rights of his race. Declaring that his rights and those of 250.000 other Negro citizens

of Indiana had been challenged by members of the House, Rep. Richardson pointed out that the abridgement of rights of citizens is tyranny and leads to anarchy. Exclusion of Negroes from public places because of their race of color is un-American and intolerane, he charged. “There can be ilo government unless all citizens, regardless of color or race or creed are protected in their liberties and in the pursuit of happiness, Rep. Richardson said. “If at any time the civil and legal rights of any group of citizens are made a political issue, as they are in the opposition to this bill, the rights of all citizens, be they black or white, are no longer secure under our Constitution.”

French people back to the farm, and to hand labor. He opposes the vaulting ambition of French families to put their sons into soft government jobs and into the learned professions. There already are too many public officials in France, says Flandin. Therefore let the people stop training for the.se jobs in the schools and colleges. To do this, he proposes the revolutionary idea of budgeting the national needs for professional people and officials. ana IN fact, the “leagues” o e private citizens, reputedly armed, certainly organized and drilled, and obedient to a private commander, seem to be growing less and less important here. The Croix de Feu, in the opinion of many Frenchmen, lost its prestige and power when its chieftain. Col. de La Rocque. began to talk. As long as de La Rocque kept silent, he was a menacing force. As soon as he opened his mouth this changed. The curious hocuspocus with which he fringed his love of France seemed a little too mystical for general consumption. As soon as he began disclosing plans, the plans themselves appeared to be less important than they had seemed when unrevealed. The less reputable private armies. it is predicted, should soon sink into insignificance because Premier Flandin. protesting big business., has removed the need which big business felt it had for them. Only one organization remains as a serious influence today, it is said by some observers. That is the Common Front of Socialists and Communists here. What Premier Flandin has done is to knock the props out from under the big private “leagues” which during the last year were so important in France. While they may remain as drilling organizations and as units for future political action, if necessary, they don’t count as long as the big premier stays in power.
