FOUR STORY FALL DOES
NO HARM TO BABY GIRL
Smiles Cheerfully When the
Neither Comes Expecting to
Pick Her Up Dead.

New York, Aug. 1A-Catherine Dono-
van, "a years old. fell from a fourth
story window to the sidewalk in front
of her home. 26o West sixty-eighth ST.,
and was injured so slightly that sha
viii be at play again soon.
The mother, Mrs. James Donovan,
thought the window screen was suf-
ticient protection against such an acct.
dent, so when she was getting supper
she let the child stand on q chair by
the window. But Catherine was Curl
Gus and kept pushing at the SCREEN
until Ii dropped out. She went with It.
The mother ook around in time to-
see two small bare feet disappearing
over the sill.
Several things interviewed to save the
child's life. The first in the series was
the left shoulder OF Mrs. Mary From
mer, who was leaning from a third
story window beneath the Donovan
fiat. Catherine hit that shoulder and
the force of her fall was lessened there
by, but there were still three stories
to go. The c break in the drop was
a corrugated metal awning in front OF
Herman Schumacher's saloon. Cath
crime hit that hard enough to make q
dent In II, but she rolled gently over
the edge and dropped snugly between
two full beer kegs that had just been
unloaded from a truck.
The kegs were close enough together
to let the child slip to the sidewalk
as easily as your heel goes into a low
shoe with the help of a horn.
Henry Schoenheit picked up the girl
and ran across the street with her to
Seely's drug store. Patrolman MUIR
ray, of the West Sixty-eighth street
station, called an ambulance from
Flower hospital. DIR. Griffin, who came
with It, said the child was suffering
only from bruises, but he took her
to the hospital for observation.
Catherine didn't wen whimper. BY
the time her frantic mother had got
across the street expecting to find a
dead baby, the child had got over her
smiles.

her a large sum Of money. said to be
$500, 600, according to a statement made

Yes; it's somewhere around hat

negotiating with District Attorney
Jerome and his alienists and aiding
them In this case. Therefore she can

THE PLAN rs GOOD,
BUT STOP FIGHTING

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-The Dea
Motnes plan is completely indicated
and highly commended by the STATE
municipal examiners, M. r. Cox and
r. Nj. Abbott, who filed the results II
their examination with State Auditoi
Bleak1ey to-day. This Is the first statd
examination since the commission form
was adopted. The report says:
Tn the management Of the state af-
fairs of the city of Des Moines we
find nothing but what we can highly
commend"
The examiners advise councilmen to
work together more ~harmoniously and
say In that case the form of govern
ment such as Des Moines has would
need no defense, for we believe the
principle to be correct of examining
the methods of receiving n dis
bursting the amount OF money that II
takes to run Des Moines."
