FEAR FORCED ADOPTION
Mrs. Chase also Made adopted Son
Her Heir UnEr9Iingly.
[By Telegraph to The Tr1bune.l

Salem Mass Dec 27-The greater part of the
proceedings to-day in the Essex County Probate
Court In the contest of the will Of Mrs Jennie ?.
Chase was consumed largely by the continuance
of the cross examination of Dr. Howard Chase her
second husband
When his counsel began to ask DR.. Chase about
the death of David Phillips, a brother Of Mrs.
Chase objections were raised Immediately Coup
sci then explained to the court that it had been
ntmated that Mrs. Chases death was irregular;
that she might have been murdered by her hus-
band but that if the insinuations were withdrawn
the questions would not be pressed. Counsel for
the protestants said that he would withdraw his
objections, but not his insinuatons.
Dr. Chase then answered that his wife did not
know of the death of her brother until she read
about it in a Lynn newspaper. He said that Mrs.
Chase was affected by her brothers death that
she had to go to California
''Why should have told themT' he inquired when
asked why he did not inform the Phillips brothers
Of the death Of their sister. "They never acted like
brothers to her"
Did they know that she had adopted your sonT
asked his counsel.
"T do not think they did. We were not adver-
tising that fact"
Charles G. Chick, a lawyer who was called later,
testified that Mrs. Chase while visiting him pro-
fessionally told him that she had been compelled to
adopt her husbands son by the physicians threats,
and that she had made the boy, De Forest Woodruff
Chase, heir to her property amounting to about
ST. 100000 under compulsion.
Mr. Chick testified that he had drafted a will in
1902 for Mrs. Chase. in which her property was
divided between her brothers and sisters. At the
same time Mrs Chase he testified, signed an atti-
herit her property and that she did not adopt him
of her own free will. In her win. ne said he IN
serted a clause revoking all former wills when
Mrs Chase told him that her husband had COM
PEELED her to make previous Will Whlch she olo
few months later Mrs. Chase took the will
away saving that she would tear it up. This VIII
contained clause declaring that her husband had @
comDelled her to adopt his son. and further stated
that the character Of the adopted had not been
such as to entite him to receive any consideration
from her. - ,.s b,ro

DISTRICT NURSING.
"A Society Starts Work on Upper West SIDE
and Asks for Assistance.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Ctr. Would # not seem probable that wealthy

sn the prevention of contagious diseases such'
for example, as fevers and tubercuIoslsE 0ucI
-,-o,,sntion as every one now knows. is best as
s,,red by intelligent home nursing and cleahh-
ness in those poorer homes where many chill
zo-, .-d hard conditions tend to increase chronic
osees Of tbe latter especially. It seems hardly
credible in view Of such facts that the wealthy
residential district above 72d-st- on the West
Side has never until this year attempted TO Sc
cure the permanent services of trained nurse
for the poorer class, Of which there Is rapidly
growing population in Amsterdam and Column
bus aves. above 90th-st
A private attempt to start district nursing
association has been made. an account Of the
sooiety has been sent to all weIl-to-do persons
living IN the better class streets and upon River
side Drive itself but so little interest has been
shown that at the end of the first six months the
salary Of even one nurse was not assured. Yet
the report shows that during the six months
moro than nine hundred visits were made to
families in which tuberculosis or infectious dis
eases were found. In many cases absolute des-
tit1tion followed in the wake Of the sickness,
immediate relief in food, money and clothing
was called for, and a condition Of suffering re-
yealed that should make the heart ache.
Nevertheless, the hope for assistance from the
more fortunate house owners on the West
Side is based not much on the pathos Of
facts brought 10 ught-for almost all wealthy
people have such cases TO deal WITH and deal
with them generously-as upon the practical
fact Of the actual menace Of such conditions 10

Song Books.

Last Sunday morning Rev. Mr.. Kennedy
while in the Associate Reformed pulpit re
ferred TO the scarcity OF copies OF the Bible
Songs. He thought that the church should
be supplied with sufficient number so that
q copy might be offered to strangers or
visitors who may be present at any SER
vice. He invited those members OF the con-
gregation who sympathlsea with the propo-
sitlon to leave their money with Mr.. McDill,
who would order books with the money left
with him for that purpose.
In this speech we were reminded OF little
matter while Mr.. Ewart was pastor. A man
ber OF the congregation was, like Mr.. Kenne-
dy, impressed with the scarcity of and the
necessity Tor Bible Songs, and asked him to
see the members in reference to the matter
Mr.. Ewart very readily agreed with the
membe and accepted his check as his con.
tribution for the purpose. Mr.. Ewart's
great interest In securing the requisite num-
ber OF books was manifested by his forward
ing the aforementioned check and receiving
in return books TO the amount Of that check

The Presbyferian College.

Abbeville can have, and should have, the
Presbyterian College. The opportunity OF O.
life time is presented, and II we fail to accept
It., Abbeville may be forever without COL
lege.
Let those who have the good ofthe town at
heart make proper effort, and the prize Will
be ours.
It is useless for us to attempt TO enumerate
the many waSs in which this people, moral
ly. edu cationally and commercially would
be benefited by the presence ofa college.
AS the whole people would be benefited,
the proper way to get the college Is to offer
city bonds for 1t.
The Synod Is now determined to make a
college wherein much larger number Of
students will be educated than heretofore.
Besides the tuition fees, the board and the
clothing that one hundred or two hundred
students would spend would be large.
Again: 1.-THE college comes 1t will bring
with II an endowment ofs5O, 600 which would
be used In building up our waste places, II
such still exist.
While we think the college would be worth
several hundred thousand dollars, 1t Ia pos
sible that $4,000 of city bonds would secure
1t. The increased value OF our property and
the increased business OF the city would more
than pay int rest on our bonds.
A nom ent's reflection would convince al.
most anybody OF the great importance OF
getting the college, which would be worth
more to us than a new cotton mill or any
other enterprise which We now have in mind.

people seem to be pleased with the new
