MRS. EDITH CHASE
ADJUDGED INSANE
BY COURTS JURY
Alienists Declare Condition
Due to Excessive Use
of Alcohol.

Mrs. Edith Chase, wife Of Major Ar
thur w. Chase, who is stationed at the
Preside. California, was today adjudged
insane by a jury in Criminal Court
No. /.
The woman was arrested in June, fol-
lowing q report she made to the police
about being robbed Of several thousand
dollars worth of jewelry while riding
In a taxicab. Her story was SO weird
that she was sent to the Washington
Asylum Hospital on June 49, and was
transferred from that institution to the
Government Hospital for Insane for OBJ
servation.
Drs. B. r. Logic and J. e. Lind, Gov
ernment alienists, testified today that
Mrs. Chase is suffering from a form of
nssos of S5S fa * ere ee is
bility Of her recovering within a year
and q half.
Was Promoting Scheme.
Mrs. Chase, they said, came to WASH
ington to promote some wireless tele-
phone apparatus, which, she claimed,
was invented by her husband. They as
serted that she called on Senator Smoot
I and other members of Congress and told
strange stories.
One statement credited to Mrs. Chase,
which the alienists stated may be a de-
lusion, Is that she was responsible for
the death of a man named Schultz, and
was the last person seen with him be-
fore he was discovered dead. The
identity of Schultz was not discovered,
but the physicians say the matter seems
to have prayed on the woman's mind.
Among the delusions Mrs. Chase has,
according to the physicians. Is one that
the hospital is her fathers home. She
demands a permit from her father from
every visitor, they stated. She also
complains they testified, that the cav
airy Is .bombarding the institution, and
that her enemies are trying to electro
cute her.
Caused by Operation.
Joseph w. Clark, a friend and busi-
ness associate Of Mrs. Chase's father,
testified that her mental trouble is
due to an operation she underwent In
1896 at Fort Monroe. The operation, he
said. was on her head, and that subse-
quently she became addicted to the use
of intoxicants, and when denied liquor
drank clear alcohol. He said that hel
husband had apparently abandoned
her." as he has failed to respond tc
kilograms sent to him.
Mr.. Clark stated that Mrs. Chase's
family Is ANXIOUS to take care of her
and want her taken to wilmington, Del
DR.. Logic replied that treatment In q
hospital is absolutely necessary for hel
recovery. Justice Barnard informed the
jury that it was not concerned as tC
what became Of the woman after they
had adjudged her of unsound mind, a!
that was a matter for the authorities
to look after.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Feb. 12.-All plans
for the inauguration of GOvernor-elect
George w. P. Hunt and for Arizona's
debut into the Union as a full-fledged
state next Wednesday have been COM
pleted. Owing TO the delay in issuing
the statehood proclamation, due to
President Taft's absence from Wash
! ington, tomorrow, the gOvernOr-elect
and the other new officials residing
outside of Phoenix, will not arrive
here until Tuesday.
There was much disappointment
! by President Taft's inability to sign
the proclamation today 1t was con-
sidered fitting that Arizona should
become a state on Lincoln's birthday,
as it was Lincoln who signed the
proclamation creating a territory of
Arizona.
No Pomp.
The Inauguration ceremonies Will
be very simple and unostentatioas in
accordance with the view Of the gov
ernor-elect. While the plans for a
/ parade have not been abandoned,
there will be an absence of any pomp
OF military display, only civic bodies
taking part. There will be a salute
OF forty-eight guns, signifying Arizo-
mas place in the flag. The governor
will walk to the Capitol, where the
oath will be administered by Chief
Justice Edward Kent of the Territor-
ial Supreme Court, after which there
will be a brief inaugural address.
Open Air Dance.
In the evening there will be an in
formal reception and an inaugural
ball. The latter will be unique in
that it will take place in an open air
pavilion, and all who wish may dance.
Fiftieth Anniversary.
A peculiar historical coincidence
lies in the fact that Admission Dag
will be the fiftieth anniversary of Ar
i2ona's admission into the Southern
Confederacy. On February IA, 1862
Jefferson Davis issued a proclamation
to this effect, but Arizona never actu
ally became member Of the confed
eracy.
A colamn of Federal troops was
thrown into Arizona from CalifornTs
on February "a. A year later, Presi
dent Lincoln signed the proclamation
