port that Evelyn Thaw is the mother OF

port that Evelyn Thaw was a mother.
There's not a word OF truth in the
report" he said. IT never heard of the
report before today and / don't think
any body else did. It's a pure fabrica-
Ition, cut out Of the whole cloth.
'The people who started that story
have to take 1t back" concluded the de-
ltective brusquely as he hung UP the
Telephone receiver.

TOTS TAKEN FROM
STRICKEN MOTHER
Neglected Wife, Struggling to Keep
Home for Five, Contracts
tuberculosis.

Forced through neglect by a dissolute
husband TO work for the support OF her
five children, until her strength had given
way and the dread white plague had
clutched her in its grasp. Mary E. suth-
erlin. Of Sl5 G street northwest, appeared
in the Juvenile Court yesterday to re-
quest Judge De Lacy to commit her chill
dren temporarily to the care of the Board
Of Children's Guardians until she recov-
srs from the tubercuiar trouble.
The five children-Robert, ten years
old; Lillian. nine; Leonard, six; Nora,
five, and John, one-were with their
mother, while agents of the Board Of
Children's Guardians and the Associated
Charities told the court the sad history
Of the family.
The husband, according to the story,
had long been addicted to the use of in
toxicants and had wasted his wages in
harrooms. He had once been an expert
tile setter. but through excessive drink
had lost employment. For several months
he had failed to contribute a cent to-
ward the support of his fve children.
Realizing that unless something was
face starvation, Mrs. SutherIin intrusted
the duties OF the home to her nine-year-
old daughter Lillian and went 10 search
OF employment. The work was hard and
the hours long, and soon the delicate
woman began to give way under the
strain. A doctor announced that she had
tuberculosis. Arrangements were made
Immediately to send the mother to the
tuberculosis Hospital.
Mrs. Sutherlin," said Judge De Lacy,
Il shall commit the children to the board
for one year, but II you recover from
your malady before the expiration of
that period 1 shall be glad to return any
or all OF your children to you upon ap-
plication.'
As Mrs. Sutherlin started to leave the
court room, supported on the arms of
the agents of the BoaSd Of Children's
Guardians, she suddenly stopped. and
with tears running down her cheeks en-
braced each Of the children and i'm
planted a kiss upon their foreheads
