Lincoln was mortified by the sup
posed fact his mother was natural
child"
HE was lazy. He was neither in
dustriouS nor honest.
IF he had been a man of the
people, he would have lined up be-
hind Andrew Jackson instead of be-
hind the forces of privilege in the
Clay-Jackson and Administrator
contests.
He set his sails when he thought
the wind was coming up, but set
them so he could pull 'em down
quickly if need be.
He was supposed TO be an humble
man, yet he went to Springfield for
the purpose of marrying a rich
woman and so furthering his career"
IF both Lincoln and Douglas
had die d after their famous
debates, Douglas, not Lincoln,
would be the more visible figure
today.

out that Harry S. New, former POST

moyal of government counsel seek

Bartlett said this was true, but
denied knowledge of Blaines insinu-

Bartlett said all he knew was
that he was sent to st. Paul to talk
over the matter with the st. Paul

The now famous st. Paul case
involved the signing of noncan-

'SABAT|N| BLASTS
MYTHS OF HISTORY
William Tell Never Lived,
"Iron Mask" Erroneous,
Audience Told.

The necessity Of studying history
with a critical mind was emphasized
last night by Rafael Sabatini. whose
modern historical novels have done
much toward preserving the colorful
tales Of the past.
Speaking under auspices of the Com
munity institute. before capacity
crowd n Central High School, Saba
TIM cited several outstanding instances
Of historical distortion of fact.
William Tell, who according to his
tory shot an apple from his sons head
to win his freedom. never lived. de-
spite the fact three chapels and numer-
Gus statues have been erected in his
honor in Switzerland, Sabatini de-
clared.
Tell Myth Exploded.
A creature of someone's imagination.
Tell has become a Swiss national hero.
Sabatini said, and is the outstanding
example in support of the assertion
that history is composed of fiction in
no small degree.
The famous man in the iron mask
also was shorn of his mystery by the
novelist. The mask was of velvet, not
iron, he said, and the man who wore
it was an Italian governor who had
Swtndled Louis the Fourteenth. The
hHtB nelCInneH kidnapped the gov
ernor and imprisoned him in France.
There is strong reason to believe the
mask was worn to hide some disfigure-
ment. Sabatini said, and not because
the prisoner was the twin brother of
the King and the rightful ruler of
France, belief widely held In some
circles.
Guest Of Lido Club.
After the lecture Sabatini was guest
of honor Of the Lido Civic Club at a
reception and dance in the Mayfower
Hotel
The Italian embassy was represented
at the reception by Count Carlo Soardi
and Signor Adriano Monaco, secretaries,
and Cav di Girolamo, chancellor.
Among other guests were Representa-
tives Vincent L. Palmisano of Maryland
and Fiorello La Guardia of New York,
District Commissioner Herbert b.
Crosby and District Attorney Leo A.
