A recent investigation in Germany

ly wide enough to admit her body,
Mrs. Kate Hayes. 35 years old, of No.
235 East Sixty-seventh street, landed
on the ground last night, receiving
only some minor scratches to show for
her trip. But the whole neighborhood
knew what happened within q short
time. The woman's screams in part,
the crashing Of breaking glass and the
shouts of the rescuers broke the silence
Of the Sunday afternoon and a large
crowd gathered quickly to assist in the
rescue. Mrs. Hayel, her husband, a
small child and a boarder live on the
fifth floor OF No. 235. Between their
tenement house and No. 237 there is
an open space Of six feet or there
abouts, In this latter space Theodore
Cowes, a real estate man, has con-
structed a temporary Office building OF
corrugated iron, not more than 5x15
and only a story high. The Office Is
lighted by a skylight 2x7 feet in length,
a mere slit Of glass in the iron roof.
All that is positively known is that
Mrs. Hayes came through that sky
light, and came fast, as IL she had a
long start. She was found lying on
the floor screaming at the top Of her
voice, and the door of the real estate
Office had to be smashed in before she
could be taken out. She was cut about
the head, and has a cash In her left
leg, but more than that she escaped.
She was taken to Flower hospital. The
doctors say her injuries are trivial
