AIRSH|P RACE UP HUDSON
BIG EVENT. ARRANGED FOR
FULTON CELEBRATION.
Prize of $4,000 for Winner of Dash
From New York to
Albany.

NEW YORK, January :;U-An airship
race from this city to Albany, pioneer
event of its kind in the United States,
has been arranged as one Of the features
Of the Hudson-Fulton memorial next
autumn. The Aero Club of America. un-
der whose auspices the race is to be con-
Quoted, announced today that the prize
for the winner is $4,000. given by the
New York World. Amateurs and pro-
fessionals may compete. but only pro-
PEELED air vessels may be entered
Cortlandt Bishop, president Of the Aero
Club. stated that all airship inventors
here and abroad will be invited to par
ticipate in this unique contest. No date
for the race has been set, but it is likely
that October !, the day Of the naval
parade up the Hudson, will be the date
assigned.
The start Of this pioneer air trip of
40 miles up the Hudson, paralleling
Robert FultonS famous voyage in the
pioneer steamboat Clermont a century
ago. will be somewhere In Greater New
York and the designated finish proba bly,
within five or ten mile radius of the
state capitol building at Albany.
Mr.. Bishop said that he hoped to get
Count Zeppelin. the German aeronaut, to
enter his latest dirigible In the race He
has already approached Hart o. Berg,
manager for Wilbur and Orvile Wright,
wit view to having a Wright aeroplane
entered. 1t is possible also that the
United States government may enter a
machine, as Mr.. Bishop received today
from Representative Herbert Parsons a
telegram saying that the bill appropriate
ing 500, 900 for aeronautics. which has
been hanging fire for some months, had
passed the House.

Wife AlLEGES OESERTION
CAPT. CHASE DEFENDANT AT
WILMINGTON.
Claim That Desertion Began When
He Placed Her in Asylum
Not Sustained.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WILMINGTON, Del, January Coles
timony was heard in the superior court
here today in the case of Mrs. Edith L.
Chase, an authoress we'll known in New
husband, Capt. Arthur w Chase, lisa,
on the ground of desertion. The husband
is stationed at Fort Howard Baltimore
The wife is niece of eXGov. Preston
Lea of Delaware.
The wife alleges that her husband
placed her in a sanitarium at Laurel. Md
She contended, during todays hearing
that the desertion began with her en-
trance into the institution. The court
ruled. however, that it did not start until
her departure therefrom, as the neces-
sary two years that constitutes desertion
in Delaware was lacking in time. The
case was continued until March.
The couple were married here in 1896 by
the late Rev. DR.. Murray. pastor Of st.
Andrews Episcopal Church. Subsequent
ly they lived in Cuba at Manila and at
different places throughout the world
where the captain WAS stationed. The
case has attracted considerable interest
1t was learned from the Laurel SAM
tarium last night that Mrs. Chase was a
patient in that institution for about four
or five months a little over two years
ago. having been removed there from a
temporary home in this city suffering
from severe nervous breakdown. At
the time of her discharge from the SAM
tarium 1t was explained the patient was
fully cured.
During Mrs. Chase's stay at Laurel, it
was explained by the sanitarium au-
thorities, she and her husband apparently
were upon the best of terms. and though
not a constant visitor to her throughout
her stay, his visits to the patient were
numerous.
From the fact that Mrs. Chase has
been absent from the sanitarium over
two years. it was stated, few of the in
cidents Of her presence there could be
recalled.
