COLUMBUS

WAS A FOUR-FLUSHER, DECLARES MUCKRAKER VIGNAUD

SUFFRAGE FIGHTS

TOLD IN NEW

BOOK

Tarls, March 22. Simultaneously with the erection of a colossal statue In honor of Christopher Columbus at liuenoK Ay res will be published here Saturday two volumes of a work by Henry Vignaud, first secretary of the American embassy, in which the discoverer of America is branded an Impostor and a humbug and placed in a class with explorers like Dr. Cook. Mr. Vlgnaud retired from the American embassy two years ago and has since devoted his entire time to the completion f a study of Columbus, which has consumed in all 50 years. The author is now SI years of age. II Is celebrated as a historian, and was consulted recently by the I'ope when It was proposed to canonize Columbus. At that time Mr. Vignaud showed that the explorer was anything but H saintly man. and that he had at least one illegitimate son. In his study of Columbus, Mr. Vlgnaud undertakes to prove that the explorer's discovery of America was not the result of his own genius, that th'expedition was not based upon scientific data, but that Columbus actually learned of the existence of America from an Ignorant sailor who had been there ahead of him. In a word, that America was discovered long before Columbus ever organized his expedition, and that he merely took the credit from another man unknown to history. Th' story that To.canelli wrote a letter to Columbus inclosing a chart showing the route across the Atlantic,

and that it was with this in hand that Coinmbus started out to find the newworld, Is disposed of by Mr. Vignaud. He declares that the Toscanelll letter was a forgery perpetrated possibly by Columbus himself, but more probably by the explorer's brother, Bartholomew Columbus. Mr. Vignaud says that in 1871 a copy of the forged letter was found on a blank page of a book once the explorer's property. This is undoubtedly in Columbus's writing, says Mr. Vignaud. A fac simile of the document is published in Mr. Vignaud's work. Mr. Vignaud further undertakes to prove that the map used by Columbus could not have come from Toscanelll ?jecause it contained exact information which no amount of scientific thinking could have adduced, but which could only have been learned from actual experience. Mr. Vignaud says that Columbus not Infrequently acted in a manner which renders it possible to susp'-ct him of deception. He says the explorer concealed the lowness of his origin; that he boested that he was descended from other Admirals of the name of Columbus, though it has been discovered that the men in question were not even his nationality, one being a Greek and the other a Frenchman; that he boasted of having served under King Rene of Anjou. while modern critics prove that lie did net; that he often referred to the voyages he made in his youth, while facts show the statements to be wholly untrue.

Chancellor Ilelskell has rust decided that a husband who permitted his wife to live part from him for thirty-two years Is not entitled to a divorce, nor has the wife, who has waited that long before asking that her husband provide for the right to demand support.

OFFER CONDOLENCES County Central Committee Acts on Wiley's Death.

High compliment was paid the late C. K. Wiley, who dropped dead from apoplexy Monday evening while attending a session of the Moose lodge, at the Pythian temple, by the Wayne County Republican Central Committee of which ho was the chairman. Members of the committee met on Tuesday and drafted resolutions, denoting the committee's deep regret at his untimely death and extending its sincerest sympathy for the family. The resolutions are as follows: The Republican County Central committee of Wayne county, with particular regret learns of the death of

Chairman Cornelius M Wiley. Ordinarily, political associations are but of the time, and separations are easy, but in the case of the death of Chairman Wiley every member of tho committee feels that he loses not only a political but also a personal friend. Uniformly, both as a member of the Committee, and as its chairman, he conducted himself and affairs of the party, in a most honorable and courageous manner, and in such a way as to reflect credit upon himself and every one associated with him. In the death of our leader and friend we feel the community has lost a hlghminded citizen whose record both in private and public life was such as to command him to the emulation of all. To the family the Committee extends its sincerest sympathy. The Wayne County Central Republican Committee, Wayne County, Indiana. by Francis K. McMinn, Vice Chairman. John K. l'eltz. Secretary.

'Miss Sylvia Pankhurst Frequently Imprisoned, Has

Interesting Story. Indianapolis, March 22. Much interest is being shown in the approaching visit to thi3 city of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, the twenty-year-old English suffragette, who will speak iu the auditorium of the Odd Fellowbuilding next Thursday afternoon under the auspices of the Woman's School league of Indianapolis. The history of the modern English suffrage movement and of Miss Pankhurst's family are one. Her father, a distinguished lawyer and philanthropist, was prominent as a suffragist thirty years ag6. He trained his young wife in social work and in politics when the present day activity of English women in that field was in its infancy. After his death Mrs. Etnaline Pankhurst kept up these intrests while educating her young daughters. In 1903 she organized a society called the Social and Political union, to obtain through the political enfranchisement of women and consequent legislation in the interests mitigation of the burdens under which many of them suffered. A few years later this society was joined by a young mill hand of genius, named Annie Kenncy. who was interested in the hard life of her fellow-women, who labored during the day by the side of the men at much smaller wages and then did the drudgery at heme while the men rested. Mrs. Pankhurst showed her how many such inequalities are modified where women are equal with men under the law. In November, 190t, Annie Kenney and Christabl Pankhurst, both young women, hence the title given them by a newspaper reporter, suffragettes, first displayed the banner inscribed

"Votes for Women" at a political meeting in Manchester. Later Annie Kenney went to London with.10 in her pocket, and Mrs. Pethio-Lawrence in response to her plea, accepted the treasury ship of a society without a shilling. Thus was started a revolution, the influence of which is felt around the world. Writes of Society's Work. This W. S. P. IT. is the great militant society which does a campaign work of many kinds, and pursues sensational methods. By their methods they are said to have accomplished greater results in four years than had been done in forty before. Allied with them are four other national societies and many smaller ones of both women and men. Many of England's most famous names are on their rolls, and now they are courted in the most fashionable circles. The story of their increasing and arduous labors of many kinds, their electioneering, their heckling the ministers, their public demonstrations, their edputations with petitions to parliment and their imprisonment is given in Miss Sylvia Pankhurst's book, "The Suffragette." The young woman has written an interesting account of the suffrage struggle in England since the battle of Waterloo, in 1832. She has served under her mother, has endured prison life for the cause, and has developed oratory, now common among English women the oratory of a cultivated mind fired with devotion. Miss Pankhurst's lecture in this city is expected by the women to be a

l memorable event.

A NOBLE CHARACTER. 'ITie man of nobility of character does not recollect injustice, for accurate recollection, especially of injvries, is not characteristic of the magnanimous man, but he rather cverlooks them. He is not fond cf talking of people, for he will neither speak of himself nor anybody else, for he does not care that he himself should be praised nor that others should be blamed. Aristo'Je.
