FOE BIDS BABY SHOW.
\ Gerry Society r Agent Interferes at
County Fair— Mothers Furious.
The appearance of an agent of the Gerry society
at Madipon Scruare Garden yeste9day afternoon
almost created a panic among the mothers who had
brought their children to the baby show which
has been widely advertised as one of the attractions
of the County Fair. Immediately a considerable
proportion of them jumped to the conclusion that
they were going to be arrested, and there was a
wild scramble for the babies' wraps. As the at
tendants could not wait on every one at once the
women, who were already angry at the turn things
had taken, lost their tempers completely, and one
of them declared that there was going to be .some
hair pulling if she had to wait any longer. Fortu
at,lv the tiny garnets she was trying to get hold
of were banded out In time to avert this catas
trophe, whereupon she ehook the dust of the Gar
den from her feet and departed in high dudgeon _
Meantime the managers were holding a hurried
consultation. The agent of the Gerry society had
declared that, the .now must not take <*"*««

DISTRICT NTTRSING.
A Society Starts Work on Upper West Side
and Asks for Assistance.
-To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir- Would it not teem probable that wealthy
resident* of our city would be vitally interested
in the prevention of contagions diseases. such.
for example, ns fevers and tuberculosis? Such
prevention, ns every or- now know?, is best as
sured by Intelligent home nursing and cleanli-
Be— ln tho.se poorer homes where many chil
dren and hard conditions tend to increase chronic
cases of the latter especially. It seems hardly
en- dible in view of such facts that, the wealthy
KBtOentla] district above 72d-st. on the West
Fide has never until this year attempted to se
core the permanent services of a trained nurse
lor the poorer class, of which there is a rapidly
growing population in Amsterdam and Colum
bus ayes. above OOth- st.
A private attempt to start a district nursing
association has been made, an account of the
society has been sent to all well-to-do persons
living In the better class rtreets and upon River-
Bide Drive itself, but co little interest has been
shown that at the end of the first six months the
©alary of wen one nurse was not assured. Yet
the report shows that during the Fix months
more than nine hundred visits were made to
families in -which tuberculosis or Infectious dis
eases were found. In many ccses absolute des
titution followed in the wake of the sickness,
immediate relief In food, money and clothing
•was called for, and a condition of suffering re
vealed that should make the heart ache.
Nevertheless, the hope for assistance from the
more fortunate house owners on the West
6ide la based not M much on the pathos of
facts brought to light— for almost all wealthy
people have turn cases to deal with, and deal
•with them generously upon the practical
fact of the actual menace of such conditions to
their own children. The afflicted children of
the vary poor pley In the parks, frequent many
of the stores and swarm in the public thorough
fares frequented by the children of the rich,
•whose homes are hygienic and for whom no
precaution Is too costly or difficult. The care
of the most guarded home is of no avail if
children go to and from school, or adults pass
ing back and forth, are exposed to contagion in
this way. In many of the homes visited by the
district nurse laundries are found in which
%-omen of tuberculosis habit are the workers.

Women Raise H,OOO for St. John
the Divine — Work for Poor.
More than {4,000 raised for the Cathedral building
fund and more than $4,000 for the old Pro-Cathe
dral at No. 130 Stanton-st. were among the items
of the year's work which made the women of the
diocesan committee *>r the wori of the Cathedral
of St. John the Divine glad at their annual meet
ing yesterday. Kot only this, but the committee,
as shown by the reports of the varioua officers and
committees, has furnished substantial assistance to
mission work among the Italians in connection with
the new St. Ambrose Italian Mission in "Little
Italy"; has Inaugurated the mite-box system as a
means of adding to the Cathedral building fund In
SO of the 1:30 places of worship in the diocese,
and has developed the missionary feature of the
Cathedral idea by actively engaging in mission
work among the city's poor.
About one hundred and twenty women belonging
to the committed gathered In the Cathedral crypt
at 11 o'clock a, m., whore a service had been espe
cially arranged for St. John's Day.
Bishop Coadjutor Greer preached the sermon and
afterward celebrated tho holy communion, assisted
by Arendeacon Nelson and Canon Voorhis. Later
at the meeting In Synod Hall, Canon Voorhis. head
master of the cathedral choir school, called the
attention of the committee to the fact that there
are eight vacancies in the school at present. "In
addition to having the making of a good voice,"
eaid the canon, "a boy to be eligible must have
good health, have had a good domestic training
and be a manly, clcun boy in his character ana
principles. To make a valuable chorister he should
come under our training at the age of about nlno,
but should not be allowed to sing for two years,
although his musical education should go on con
tinuously. In exchange for his services in the
worship of the cathedral the school gives him. such
an education as his parents would have to pay
$500 or $600 a year for elsewhere."
The annual election resulted as follows; Hono
rary president, Hishop Coadjutor David H. Greer:

Mrs. Chase Also Made Adopted Son
Her Heir Unwillingly.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.]
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 P.
Chase was consumed largely by the continuance
of the cross-examination of Dr. Howard Chase, her
second husband.
When his counsel began to aek Dr. Chase about
the death of David Phillips, a brother of Mrs.
Chase, objections wore raised Immediately, Coup
sel then explained to the court that It had been
intimated that Mrs. Chase's death was Irregular;
that she might have been murdered by her hus
band, but that if tho Insinuations were withdrawn
the questions would not be pressed. Counsel for
the protestants said that he would withdraw his
objections, but not his insinuations.
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 so affected by her brother's death that
she had to p-o to California.
"Why should I havo told them?" he Inquired when
asked why ho did not Inform the Phillies brothers
of the death of their sister. "They never acted like
brothers to her."
"Did they know that she had adopted your son?"
asked his counsel.
"1 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 husband's son by the physician's threats,
and that she had made the boy, De Forest "Woodruff
Chaso, heir to her property, amounting to about
$1,000,000 tinder compulsion.
Mr. Chirk testified that he had drafted a will in
I!*> 2 for Mrs. Chase, in which her property was
divided between her brothers and sisters. At the
same time Mrs. Chase, he testified, signed an affi
davit that Bhe did not want her adopted son to in
herit her property and that she did not adopt him
of her own free will. In her will, he said he in
serted a clause revoking all former wills when
Mrs. Chase told him that her husband had com
pelled her to make a previous will which she did
n "v few months later Mrs. Chase took the will
away, saying that she would tear it up. This wi'l
contained a clause declaring that her husband had
compelled her to adopt his son, and further stated
that the character of the adopted son had not been
such as to entitle him to receive any consideration
t! Mr! Chick said that Mrs. Chase had asked him
not to use his office stationery in writing to her,
as she did not wish her husband to know that she
had visited him. as she was afraM of him. She
said that if ho knew she had visited her lawyer,
the witness said, she was afraid he would use
P Src Sant^eilifled concerning many <TUar

be sustained or refuted.
The resolutions also set forth that the federation

regarding the Manhattan bridge— "the federa
