CHARGE HEIRESS ISHOTELPRISOMR Ex-Husband of Omaha Woman Figures in Chicago's Lat est Scandal. "BUNK," SATS MR. HUGHES An ex-husband of an Omaha woman is in a mess of publicity in Chicago. Miss Edna Barnes Race, wealthy in her own right and prospective heir ess to $750,000, is being held, her rela tives say, under the influence of Harry Hughes in the Breevort hotel. Mrs. Ruth Lydia Hughes, a resident of Omaha, sued Miss Race on March 17. 1916, for $25,000 on the charge that the heiress alienated the affection of Mr. Hughes. "Bunk" is the terse opinion which Mr. Hughes expresses of the charge that he is keeping Miss Race a pris oner. "Miss Race has a brain of her own and knows where she wants to be. She's not a prisoner. She's sick and is in charge of a nurse. It's her own order that no one is allowed to see her." Brother Is Angry. But Charles O. Race, brother of the alleged hotel prisoner, does not dismiss the matter so indifferently. "My sister is laboring under a mis apprehension," he says. "She thinks the family does not want to have any thing to do with her. As a matter of fact, she is very dear to all of us. We want her to return to us. We wiU welcome her. "My aunt, Mrs.' Ambrosia Y. Race, is anxious to leave Edna a third of her $2,000,000 fortune, but she wants her to forget Hughes. ' Miss Race and Hughes were for merly in business together under the firm name of Harry Hughes & Co. They were wholesale jewelers and Miss Race is said to have lost $10,000 in the venture. In court Wednesday morning in Chicago Mr. Hughes attempted to represent Miss Race, who was charged by her millionaire aunt with taking an $18,000 note. The court objected to Hughes' service in the capacity of the defendant's represen tative, and the case was postponed.
