Harry vIgnaud Says New World
Explorer Made Many
False Claims
(By Leased Wire)

Paris, Mar. simultaneously

In honor OF Christopher Columbus

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
imposter and humpug and placed
in class with explorers like DR..
Cook
Mr. Vignaud retired from the AM
erican embassy two years ago and
has since devoted his entire ume 70

bus, which has consumed In all 80
years The author Is now 81 years
Of age He Is celebrated as a his
torian, and was consulted recently
by the pope when il was proposed to
caaonize Columbus. AT that time Mr..
Vignaud showed that the explorer
was anything but sanity man, and
that he had at least one illegitimate
son.
In his study of Columbus Mr., Wig
anud undertakes to prove tnat the ex-
plorers discovery of America was not
the result Of his own genius, that
the expedition was not based upcn
| scientific data. but that Columbus ac.
tually learned of the existence or
America from an ignorant sailor who
hali been there aheau of him. In

that Columbus started out to find

Vignaud He declares that the Tos
eanelli letter was forgery perpetrat
ed possibly by Columbus himself, but
more probably by the explorers
brother, Bartholomew Columbus.
Mr. Vlgnaud says that in 1871 8

Vignaud. A fac smile Of the doeu

Columbus could not have come iron
Toscanelli because ii contained exac
information which no amount Of

duced, put which could only have
been earned from actual experience
MIR. Vignaud says that Columbus
not infrequently acted In manner
which renders it possible to suspect
him OF deception. He says the ex
plorer concealed the lowness of hi
origin that the men In question were
not even of his nationality, one be
ing Greek and the other a French
man; that he boasted OF having sery
ed under King Rene of Aniou, while
modern critics prove that he die

HAD SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
Report Of Asa Johnson, Snperintend-
eHt Of Comfy Farm.

The report of Asa johnson, SUI
perintendent Of the county farm fol
the year 1910 is one of the best in
the history OF the institution. II
does great credit to Mr.. Johnson'S
wise and careful management.
A summary of the report shows
that the total expense for the year
was $3,58S.02, while the total re-
ceipts representing the income from
the products Of the farm Itself,
amounted to $S,412.62, leaving a
net expense Of $175.40. In other
words 1t cost the taxpayers Of the
county only SITS to provide good
care and comfortable housing for
their poor for an entire year.
Thus the county's poor are shown
to be objects of charity only to a
very limited extent. Most of them
have by their labor contributed
largely to their own support.
