REV. CHASE, VICE FIGHTER, DIES
Boston Clergyman Principal in
 Drive Against Mercury"

Boston, Nov. 4.1PSThe Rev. Jason Franklin Chase, prominent locally for years as a campaigner against vice, and nationally known for his attempt last spring to sup press the American Mercury, Is dead after a brief illness.
 For nearly 20 years he actively di- rected the war waged on the drug, liquor and gambling evils by the New England Watch and Ward so- ciety of which he was secretary.
 His activities brought him fre- quently into court as he sought the suppression of books and magazines and he personally participated in many raids on gambling places. In one or two occasions his role was that of the defendant in cases in volving physical encounters growing out of his work. On one of these he was fined after plea of guilty to a charge of assault.
 His desire to suppress gambling several times erought him into con- flict with church organizations which he criticized as among the worst of offenders. He once revealed that he had almost been fired" from a pas torate because of hls attitude against the evil.
 When he sought to have the Mer- cury suppressed on charges of print ing matter tending to corrupt the morals of youth. H. L. Mencken. it's editor, came to Boston and submit ted to arrest on Boston Common but was acquitted In municipal court. Mencken carried his case into feder- al court and succeeded in having an injunction issued which restrained Mir. Chase from further interference with the sale of the magazine. He also filed suit for s5o,o0O damages.
 Early in his career chase was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church and was four times appoint ed by President Wilson as dele gate to the international purity federation.

Dear Sir: IS
When we left Askov | pro-
missed to give you report of our
trip, so will try to render it as
interesting as possible.
We had a somewhat dis
couraging start as another car
ran into us near Beroun. Our
car was not more damaged, how
ever, than that we continued to
Minneapolis. to have it repaired
there, which required a day.
There is not much to be said
about our trip thus far as the
scenes were somewhat similar
to those we were used to seeing.
We had our Thanksgiving dinner
in St. Peter. We saw the insti-
tute for which that place is noted
but had no intentions Of visiting
the interior so continued on.
We spent a very pleasant day
visiting friends and relatives at
Tyler.
In Iowa and Nebraska we en-
countered considerable snow. In
Exeter, Nebr., we enjoyed a very
pleasant visit with Mr.. and Mrs.
Chris Nelson. !;
Arrived at Colorado Springs
Friday afternoon before sun
down. Next morning we visited
the Gave of the Winds" and the
Garden of the Gods. The most
interesting things about these
were the crystalline formations
resembling icicles, which were
suspended from the ceiling of
these caves, while fantastic and
colorful stone formations were to
be found everywhere in the Won
derful Garden.
From Colorado Springs we fol-
lowed the southern route, thru
New Mexico and Arizona via
Tucson and Phoenix. We passed
through many Indian and Mex
lean villages where people were
