"When my little boy was six months

SO quickly over the whole body that
we at Cnce called in the doctor. We
then went TO another doctor, but he
could not help him, and in our despair
we went 20 a third one. Matters be-
came SO bad that he had regular holes in
his cheeks, large enough 20 put finger

with crusts as thick as a finger, and when
ever he opened the mouth they began

short the whole body was covered over

EpeLyn Attends Party
With Maxine Elliot

NEW YORK. Feb. % Before the re-
sumption Of the Thaw trial today the
air about the criminal courts building
was fairly charged with suppressed ex-
citement. due to the belief that from
some quarter a surprise was to be
sprung.
During the recess from Thursday
countless rumors had spread and 10
this was due in part at least the feel
ing that something not on the program
was going 10 happen.
one OF the stories published today
had 20 do with a new witness, said
to have been discovered, whose testi-
mony would show that Stanford White
was pursuing Evelyn Thaw as late as
March. 1896. three months before he
was shot. and had sought. through
Hattie FOrsythe. TO effect a recOncilia-
tor with Mrs. Thaw. She, however. re-
sisted his efforts in this direction.
Maxine Elliott in Party.
This new witness is George Pollack,
a former elevator boy at the San
Jacinto apartment house. where Miss
Forsythe was living at the time. Pol
lack declares that Evelyn Thaw paid
four visits TO Miss Forsythe and that
on each occasion White appeared at
the san Jacinto. only once. however.
did he see her That was at party
which the former elevator boy says was
attended by Maxine Elliot. five other
theatrical women. and Evelyn Thaw.
White also was present. Mrs Thaw
left before the others that night
on the other occasion. Pollack as
serts. White was denied access to Miss
Forsythe's rooms on the plea that she
was not at home He waited outside
the house Evelyn was able 10 slip out
a side door and escape him
The new witness also declares that
when White discovered Miss Forsythe
had deceived him he sent her 70 Cal
ifOrnia-
BOdyguard for White.
During this period. Pollack asserts,
White was constantly accompanied by
a bodyguaKd, evidently believing he was
in danger.

generally believed he will do so before

Thaw. himself. is much worried over
this danger. He sent yesterday for his
attorneys after reading the newspapers,
declaring Jerome contemplated this pro-
cedure. They had hard time quletlng
him.
one story circulated was that Mrs.
William Thaw had decided with Jerome
in asking for a commission, believing
this is the only salvation OF her son. II
declared they would be able 10 prevent
such a. course being ordered by the
court.
Howard Nesbit Deserts jerome.
Another of today's developments was
that Howard Nesbit, Evelyn's brother.
has left the jurisdiction Of the court 70
avoid testifying. This desertlon of the
district attorney Is said to have cha
grlned Jerome deeply. The balance OF
EVELYN Thaw's cross-eXamination is re-
garded By many court attendants as be-
ing the crucial period for her. She mas
still &c account for the year Just preyl-
Gus 20 her marriage. when sne mann
tanned such close relations with ThaW
that she lived for a while with him at
the Grand Hotel In communicating
apartments. and spent the night OF De
cember "a, 1903, in his apartments.
Jerome intends TO make every effort
to draw from her own lips confessions
showing that the honorable court
which Delmas insists Thaw paid to her
was far from being that.
Forecast of Future Plan.
Jerome gave the jurors taste of
what was 10 come just beforS adjourn
ment Thursday when he drew the con-
fessions mentioned Then he asked an
adjournment But he had given the
Jurors something 10 ruminate on during
the recess and prepare their minds for
the full effect Of other confessions OF
doubtful relations with ThaW.
The real Impeachment Of Evelyn
Thaw is expected to come in the prose
cutiOn's EebUJtal. Jerome evidently has
abandoned hope OF making her contra
dict herself BY other witnesses he can
trv to show false testimony on her
mart. IL IS expected this VIII be ms
plan. Evelyn's former chorus girl
friends and Charles Harnett. are expect
ed TO offer their testimony and II prom
fses TO be sensational.

SPRING IS HERE
AT KANN'S STORE
Decorations at Successful
Opening Like Day
in May.

The snow and slush that filled the
streets of Washington were not suffi-
cient to take away the impulse of spring
thaJ the interior of S. Kann Sons store
gave one this morning. The occasion
was the spring opening OF the establish
ment. and from the moment one en-
tered the swinging doors until the en-
tire house had Deeq traversed, there
were indications that spring had GER
tainly ecome and in it's happiest guise.
II Is difficult TO state just which de-
partment offered the most attractive
features to the feminine visitors. There
were novelties in each one and 10 each
had manifestly been given every atten-
ton on the part Of the decorator.
Butterfly Decorations.
The first floor was especially attrac-
tive. Tall ferns and palms lined the
apartment just inside the Market Space
door, and the tall pillars throughout the
lower floor were pretdly festooned in
smilax, the green being relieved by little
touches of pink. blue. yellow. and red.
which were formed by tiny tissue paper
butterflies. The effect was most at
tractiye. on this floor there was dis
played a wealth of attractive goods
Fine white linens. shimmering silks and
the daintiest specimens OF embroidery
and lace. New styles OF neckwear made
this particular counter the objective
point OF hundreds OF visitors. and bar
gains In silks kept the saleswOmen IN
that department unusually busy.
Display of Hats.
To the millinery department the palm
for attractiveness might be given. There
were big hats. small hats, bright hats,
and dark hats. Every shade Of straw
that one might ask has been utilized in
making up the prettiest collection OF
millinery the store has ever shown. A
particular feature Of the trimmings is
the long sash streamers which are
found on so many of the larger hats
and which give an individuality and chic
appearance that is most captivating The
hats. most of them. are simply loaded
down with flowers Of the brightest and
happiest colOrs.
A new supply Of summer waists is
another attractive feature. These are In
batste. India linen and other soft white
material and are variOusly made up
some with. lace and embroidery. and
Others with tucks and little fiUted pan
els In the front
Throughout the store one finds a sue
cession OF novelties. In every depart
ment there are new things 10 see and
