HISTORIAN CLAIMS
NAPOLEON A BRETON
Says He Was Born in Brit
tany, Not Corsica.

MOrlaix, Brittany.-NapOleOn was
not Corsican but a Breton, born
not in the Italian island which just
before his birth became French, but
in Brittany.
This, according TO Louis Beau
frere, specialist in Breton history.
His statement of his case in the
periodical La Bretagne, defying all
other biOgraphers and historians, is
in substance as follows:
Napoleon was born in the Chateau
of Penanvern, near Morlaix. His
mother was Laetizia Bonaparte, nee
Ramolino, and his father was Louis
Charles, Count de Marbeuf, one
time governor Of Corsica. Marbeuf
was fifty at the time, Laetizia only
eighteen.
Less than year after their mar
riage Napoleon was born and duly
inscribed in the records of the par
ish of Saint Eve. But the page con-
tanning the entry has been torn from
the registry.
That the Count de Marbeuf was
Napoleon's father was asserted by
royalist propagandists as far back
as the first empire. Marbeuf's friend
ship with the Bonaparte family
was well known and until his death
| he showed an affectionate inter
est in This SON" 1t was due to
! Marbeuf that Napoleon was able
to enter the military school at
Brienne. This fact is proved by his
torical documents.
In further support of his curious
theory Historian Beaufrere men
tiOns NapoleOn's protection of the
Marbeuf family. Nine. de Marbeuf,
widow Of the emperOr's supposed ia
Their, was made a baroness and
given an annual pension of $4,000
pounds. Also her son, Francois
Napoleon's half-brother, if Beau
frere's theory be true-became one
of the emperOr's favorite aides de
camp. Napoleon even arranged the
marriage of Francois with a rich
heiress of Lyons and gave her a
diamond necklace on her wedding
day.
The exact date Of Napoleon's
birth is in dispute, and the en-
peror was very touchy about the
matter. This would seem to help
the theory that he may have been
born in Brittany. It is also pos
sible that the Count de Marbeuf
and Laetizia fed to Brittany.
AT any rate, travellers are now
being shown a bedroom in the cha
teau Of Penanvern where Napo-
leon Bonaparte may have been
born"

FUEL LAW ADDS
| TO REVENUE
Larger Amount Collected in
Gasoline Tax Last Year
Than In 1892
BETTER COLLECTIONS

New methods in the collection of
gasoline taxes as inaugurated by
the motor fuel tax law which went
into effect July of last year has
resulted in the collection of $42,-
20991 more in 1888 than in 1882
despite the fact that less gasoline
has been really sold in Delaware.
When the law went into effect
there were $40, 83O.68 in taxes I'M
paid by distributors while at the
first of this year there were no de-
linquents except such as are under
litigation in the process of collec-
ton, according to State Treasurer
George S. Williams. AS a result
of better collection methods and
closer interstate cooperation re-
garding shipments from other
States, the importation of gasoline
on which no tax was paid has
dropped to a minimum. There are
now 81 distributors in the State as
compared with AZ, al of them be-
ing bonded for the prompt pay
ment of taxes and for the keeping
1 of proper records and filing month
/ ly reports. No tax exemptions are
allowed except by individual re-
fund applications which can be
easily investigated, a ruling which
has resulted in the recovery Of ST.
42139 which under the old law
was evaded by claimed exemption
from one distributor alone. From
1046 filling stations and the dis
tributors, yearly license fees of
S2,247.00 have been collected. The
improved collection methods have
benefited motorists in that the tax
they pay for road construction and
maintenance is being brought into
the treasury and used for that
purpose and not improperly divert
ed by irresponsible dealers and dis
tributors.

Reforms Needed to Uphold
Social Order, National
Officer Says.

If America is to retain its best

straighten out the fantasy which
has been called banking and
finance" DR.. Russell c. McCaughan,
Chicago, American Osteopathic AS
ISOLATION executive secretary. told
members of the Indiana Osteopathic
Association as they concluded their
annual convention at the Lincoln
today.
If the people had not been be-
trayed by malpractice in that field
their savings would have been ample
to pay most Of the costs Of necessary
medical care" DR.. Mclaughlin said
of the relationship between banking
and his profession.
DR.. c. B. BlakeSlee, R. r. II, Box

Approximately 125 of the oSteo-

The economics Of medical prac-
tice are changing with remarkable
speed, and, when we settle down
again, they will conform to the gen.
eral social pattern" Dr. McCaughan
said. Private general practice is
doomed to cease unless some I'M
foreSeen revolutionary changes in
the trend Of the times come about
quickly"
He outlined the various European
methods of Socialized practice and
warned that contract, insurance,

United States are carrying the

struction as a private general prac-
titioner.'
