FASHION
LETTER.
ARE Ia ROC0ZE

| Written Expressly for The Washington Heraldl
The continuous cold weather OF the
last few weeks here in New York has
delayed the spring-likc appearance
! that invariably comes over the shop
ping streets Of New York in March or
early April. Probably the delay will
only intensity the burst OF springiness
when it does come. One warm day
would bring out all sorts of summary
attire. for women have been planning
and buying their spring wardrobes in
spite OF the necessity for furs and the
tendency apparent to cling 10 hats of
velvet and frocks of wool
In the meantime. most New York
women are still wearing winter frocks
and suits and coats. And il is to be
the accessories of their dress that one
must look for suggestions of spring.
The shops are fun of spring openings
Imported models and new dome site
models are introduced there every day
But the streets. the restaurants the
matinees and other public places where
women OF leisure congregate still wear
somber hue. Who wants to wear a
spring frock when a snow furry may
come Unexpectedly out OF a white
cloud lowering overhead
1t has sometimes been suggested that
II is the Puritan still lc.t in American
women of fashion that makes them a
little careful OF their clothes. 1t is
true that they have not the carefree
manner Of wearing fnery that the
women O: Paris have. But when one
comes down to exact computation. one
realizes that there is little actual Puri-
tan blood in most American women OF
fashion. none III many or them. Any
way. whatever inheritance OF caution
Of thrift. may dwell in the consciences
of American women 50 far as clothes
are concerned. il does not influence
their relation TO new gloves and boots
Nowhere in the world are there wom-
en- more lavish an their allowance of
these accessories OF dress. And wheth-
er snow hoNers in til. clouds or melts
in the streets. the American woman is
always well shod and well Slov-d

ESCAPE ATTEMPT
OF GENTLEMEN
BURGLARS FO|LED
Accidental Discovery of String
Leading from Court House
Window Halts Flight.

A daring attempt OF three burglars
awaiting trial to escape from tho
prison pen at the Court House today
was frustrated by the accidental dis
covery of a string reaching from a
third floor window to the street.
Those who had planned to make their
escape were the three socalled gen
tlemen burglars" arrested month
ago for a series of crimes in the
suburbs. :
A twelve-year-o boy, believed TO
be Joseph Glasgow, a brother Of John
Glasgow, one of the prisoners, was
the outside accomplice in the plan to
escape. The boy was arrested, but
refused to give his name.
The plan Of escape was discovered
by Fred Ober, court attendant. At
9:20 o'clock this morning Ober was
returning to the Court House in the
prison van with a load of prisoners
from the Essex county jail. Coming
down Thirteenth avenue he saw the
string reaching from the third-fioor
window of the prison pen, and he IN
vestigated.
Crouching close to the wall be-
meath the string he found the boy,
who had a bundle, which he was
about to attach to the string. Obef
arrested the boy and pulled down the
string. to which was attached a
small Bible for a weight. In the
bundle, which the boy had wrapped
IN a newspaper, was a strong iron
bar about a foot and a half long, a
long piece of new clothesline and a
large jackknlfe. There was also a
note a the bundle, which read;

ADMITS HE MAY
Be UNABLE TO
CONVICT MORS
District Attorney Says Exhum-
ing of Bodies Would Not
Prove Crime.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.--Frederick
Mors, whose confession that he killed
eight aged inmates of the German
Odd Fellows Home, has been partly
corroborated, may go scot free. Dis
trict attorneys In each Of the two
counties where Mors swore he COM
mitted the crimes expressed serious
doubts today that the former orderly
could be convicted.
District Attorney Martin, of Bronx
county, said that unless there are
new developments he Will not ask 20
have the bodies OF Mors's three
Bronx county victims dug up.
"Mors declared he used arsenic in
these three cases." said Martin, but
1 have learned that physicians had
prescribed potassium arsenite for at
least one of these three men. Ex-
humation would show traces II
arsenic, but prove nothing"
Mors' own statement that he put
the five Winchester county victims
out of the way by administering
torney Weeks that little could be
gained by digging up these bodies.
"Since no corpus delicti can be pro-
duced. it Is necessary that we find
eye-witnesses to the murders Mors
said he committed" said Weeks.
whether Mors is sane or insane,
don't believe we can convict him on
the evidence we now have"
Coroner Dunn today expected to OBJ
tain a formal ruling on Mors's
sanity from Bellevue Hospital, where
the orderly has been under obser-
walton.
