employed by Turner Bros. at the horse
and mule market, National Stock

night to make his annual holiday visit
to Georgia at the expense of he town
of Carrollton, Ga. Since their sepa-
ration four years ago, Mr.. Kelley's
wife has brought him home every
Christmas by securing a warrant
charging him with child abandonment.
He has two children, one girl and one
boy, 10 and 10 years old. He denies
that he is to blame for the separation
and declares he provides for the chill
dren.
He said yesterday that there was no
possibility Of a reconciliation between
his wife and himself, but that she Sc
cured a warrant just before Christmas
every year on which requisition papers
were always issued by two governors
to take him back to his old home.
On previous occasions when Mr..
Kelley had been marclxed back to Geor-
gia he has been furnished in the village
calaboose with fine Christmas dinner
by his accusing wife and he is general
" placed on parole, so that his home
coming is robbed of its disagreeable
features. The charges have always
been dismissed after the holidays.

rollton, Ca, took Mr.. Kelley back yes
terday Kelley had laid in a store of
Christmas gifts for his children. as he
had been looking forward to his arrest.

AEROPLANE RACE FROM
BORDEAUX TO PARIS
Course Is 32e Miles Long by Road
and Interest Attaches to Route
Chosen, as First Motor Car
Race Was Run Over II

PARIS. Dec. 4.-Still another aero
plane race for 1909, the latest event TO
he RIM from Bordeaux to Paris, dis
tance by road 329 miles, in five daily
stages of about sixty miles each. The
stages are Angoulem4 Pottiers, Tours,
Orleans and Paris. There is certain
historic charm to the French in hold
ing an aeroplane race from the western
wine city to Paris, for it was between
these two towns that the worlds trst
automobile race was ever held, when
I,evayassor drove continuously for al
most forty-nine miles, away back in
1895. and where De Knyff, Henry Four
nier, Charron, Louis Renault, Farman
and Girardot struggled for victory IN
1899 and 1901. and where many an AUTO
mobile and bicycle race was held DUR
ing that heroic period when France
was always ON top.
No regulations have yet been drawn
up for the aeroplane race, nor mas lhe
date been fixed, but it is believed that
the race can be held during the summer
of 1909 or at least in 1910. Inc DIM
Guilty at present is not the lack OF aero
planes, for there are without doubt 200
diving machines under construction in
and around Paris, but the need OF men
to pilot them. Apart from Wright, Far
man. Delagrange and Bleriot, there are
very few men in France who have had
any experience aloft, and If some of the
races projected for the coming season
fail to materialize it will be entirely be-
cause of this lack of experienced men.
An aeroplane race across Paris, which
was announced by L'Auto, has been
withdrawn in favor of Bordeaux-Paris,
the organizers recognizing that 1t was
dangerous to the general public to in
vite flying machine pilots to pass over
q crowded city.
