CLAIMS or RABBI
DISPUTED BY MANY
Historians and Educators Say CO.
lumbus Was Not of Jew
ish Faith.
FIRST BURIED IN MONASTERY

The claim OF Rabbi Abram Simon, as
advanced in his sermon at the Eighth
Street Temple. Friday evening, with re-
gard to the country in which Christie
pher Columbus was born. and connect
ing him with the Jewish race, finds lit
tie, II any credence among educators
and students OF history in this city, who
point to the numerous histories OF the
GenOess navigator as furnishing undis-
putable proof OF the fact that Columbus
was a native Of Genoa. Italy. and that
he was a devoted Christian. DR.. Simon.
in his sermon. contended that Colum-
bus was q native OF Spain, and that he
was Of Jewish extraction.
French. German, English, American
and other historians Of Columbus, whose
works are TO be found in the Library OF
Congress. agree that Columbus was a
native OF Genoa, being the son Of Do
menico Colombo and Suzanna Fontano-
rossa. It is pointed out with particular
emphasis by the disputants OF DR.. ST.
mons contention that Columbus mar
ried in 1873 Felipa MoniZ de PerestTello,
daughter OF Bartholomew Perestrello,
captain in the service OF Prince Henry
the Navigator, and that Felipa was
cousin Of the Archbishop OF Lisbon. The
argument is advanced against DR.. ST.
nous contention that the father OF the
bride nor her archbishop uncle would
have given their consent to her mar
Tlage to Columbus without first thor
oughly informing themselves of the an
tecedents OF the young man. and that
they would have never sanctioned her
marriage TO him had he had any Jewish
family affiliations.
Founded n Chapel.
Another point in the argument against
DR.. Simon's claim is given by Columbus
historians, who say that "'the Indians in
the New World were Christianized under
his direction" and that in his last will
the great discoverer founded and en-
6Owed a chapel for the saying Of
masses" A German historian describes
man. Throughout his life he was noted
for the strict attention to the Offices OF
his religion"
One Of the strongest points in favor
n Columbus being a Christian and
not a Jew is the statement by one OF
his historians to the effect that with
the treasures he expected to find in the
New World. he believed, he could ma
terialiZe his great life work-that Of re-
sonquering the Holy Sepulchre. Colum-
bus was buried in the Carthusian mon
asteTy OF Santa Maria de las Cuevas,
Seville; eXhumed I'm l542 and taken TO
Santo Domingo. where his remains were
buried in the Cathedral When the do |
minion Of this country went into French
hands, Columbus remains were taken to |
where they were buried in the |
Cathedral. only to be taken up again |
at the conclusion Of the Spanish-Ameri- |
an war to be removed to Seville, Spain. |
where they were inferred once more.
Other proofs in favor of Columbus |
is the fact that Diego Co |
umbus the discoverers brother, who ac- |
him on his second voyage, |
became a priest in later life and that |
Diego. the son Of the navigator mar
RED Dona Maria de Toledo, niece OF |
the Duke of Alva.

LARGE QUANTITIES
OF ASPARAGUS flA0InG
ITS WAY TO MARKET

great deal OF asparagus grown
by gardeners and ranchers of the
Canon City district is finding It's way
to market and its splendid quality this
season is matter OF much favorable
comment. Like other vegetables ii
has proven a little dilatory in rs
growth on account of the late spring.
but that fact has added, rather than
detracted, from the excellence of its
character. Although the acreage "a
voted to asparagus \ this section has
largely increased within the last few
years there continues 10 be big de-
mand for it from dealers in all parts
of the state and it is safe to say that
several times the amount at present
produced here might be grown with
out perceptibsy affecting the price
paid to gardeners for II. A rich. sandy
soil with good drainage is best adapt
ed TO its cultivation. and. under these
conditions, an experienced gardener
can make. good money in growing if.
Pueblo, Colorado Springs. Cripple
Creek. Denver and Leadville afford
fine market for all the asparagus that
can be grown in the Canon City ter
ritory.

CROSSING THE CONT
NENT BY AUTOMOBILE

More than a million dollars will be
spent this summer in transcontinental
touring, according to an estimate
made by the American Automobile as
sociation's touring information bureau
of New York. In view of the fact that
transcontinental touring is a recent
development this information is amaz-
ing. It is conservatively estimated that
500 cars, with an average OF four
passengers each, will cross the United
States by the Trail to Sunset" this
season.
The estimate made by the touring
bureau is as follows: Gasoline. $685.
900; oil. $4,000; tires. s1s0.OO0; gar
age. $4,000; car equipment. s25,oO0;
passengers equipment. $4,000; hotel
bills, 100000; incidentals. $4,000: I:
return railroad fares. $250.OO0; freight
on return cars. $4,000; total. s1.O25.-
900. No estimate is made OF the money
spent by tourists while visiting in the
west.
Colorado should reap large share
OF the benefits from these transcol-
tinental tours. Unrivaled scenic
splendor of Colorado's automobile
highways should keep the tourists in
the state for weeks.
California several years ago, real
lied the necessity of fine automobile
roads. The signposting in that state Is
said TO be the best in the United
States and comparable with some o.
the best in Europe. The southern part
OF the state mas received much atten-
tion from touring automobolists At
the present the state IS engaged N
one Of the biggest road Improvement
campaigns in the country For eyery
dollar spent in the promotion of good
roads in California It IS estimated that
at least 20 are returned to the state.
In addition to this actual return on
the Investment. the state secures
