Mrs. Jones was returning to ber apart mont in tho Flatlron building when tho ccldent occurred. Three men were In :ho machine. Mra. Jonea was thrown to tho ground and ono wheel went over her back. She was unconscious when picked up and carried into tho apartment. On regaining consciousness she wao hysterical for some time, but doctors aiated that no bonea had been broken... ' Those who witnessed tho accident de clare it seemed miraculous that she was not killed. The passenger rate officea of the local railroads have received official notice of the Interstate Commerce commission's order, permitting an In crease of interstate rates from 2 to 2.4 cents per mile. Clerks will at once be put at work figuring out the rates to be charged passengers, with the hope that the new rates may be applied at the earliest possible date. With the Omaha-Chicago roads the new rates will be made at the head quarters In Chicago, with the Omaha St. Louis roads in St. Louis. With the Union Pacific the rates will be made here. While tho increase of four-tenths of a cent per mile will not apply to anything except Interstate business, railroad pas senger men anticipate that It will not be long until a similar advance will be asked for and granted on all intra-etate ticket rales. They tako tho position that It would not be fair to the roads to permit them to charge at the rate of 2.4 centa through and across a state and only 3 rents within the state. Will Take Some Time. While tho rate clerka will work with all possible speed to get-the new tariffs out so that the increased rates may apply, they are of the opinion that It will be at least February 15 before the In crease will become effective. The thirty days' notice of the propose increase granted by the commission has com menced to run. so that this obstacle will be out of the way long before the new rates will bo ready to apply. Railroad officials have not yet figured out the sum that the Increased rates will bring In addition to that now bring re ceived, but it ia going to be considerable. For Instance, at the present time tho faro from Omaha to Chicago is $10.11. Under the new rate, figuring on the same mllago basts, tho fare to Chicago will bo $12.08, an increase of $1.07 each way. Co old Make Short Trips. A corresponding Increase will be applleJ to all polnti and the only way to get oui of paving the additional four-tenths cent per mile will be to buy from state line io state line. Thus, if a party waa going to Chicago, if he wanted to take the time, he could go to Council Bluffs and from there buy a ticket across Iowa to Clnton. paying X cents per mile, or $7.oh. Going across the river to Fulton, he would buy Into Chicago. 138 miles, paying $2,78. or a total of $9.S4. Added to this would be tw,i bridge fsres, ono here and another at Clinton, the two 60 cents, making the total 110 34, as against 112.08 that tho railroads will be authorised to charge As soon aa the railroads can square them selves, the officials expect to do awuy with the possibility of the lower fare 'hat will come by buying tickets in piece meals. To do this they will aeek to havo the Intrastate rates cut out and all tickets sold on tho Interstate basis. EXPRESS COMPANIES MUST FILE THEIR DELIVERY ZONES Express companies operating In Greater Omaha will be requested to submit to tlw city council a statement showing their delivery xones. South Slders contend they are discriminated against by these companies. TEESH AIR" STUDENT AT THE HORACE MANN SCHOOL mm f UNION PACIFIC IS AWARDED VICTORY Interstate Commerce.

Dec. 14.-On any day. rain or ehlne, between twenty and thirty children dressed In an'tlc costumes de signed by Anthony Flals. the noted ex plorer, may be seen pursuing their studies on the room of the Horace Mann school, one of the large private schools In the city. Studying In the open air Is not compulsoiy, and the parents are consulted before the child Is allowed to join the class.

From tho roof can be seen the liarlem river, the Hudson river and tho East river, the boun daries of the metropolis. I'nlon Pacific passenger officials are rejoicing over the fact that once more they have succeeded in putting up the bars of the Denver, Tullman, Salt Lake end Ogden gateways gainst other western roads. They have had these same bars put up on numerous times In the past, but after each occasion some road competing for western passenger business suc ceeded In breaking tbem down. Now, however, backed up by a decision of the' Interstate Commerce commission tho I'nlon Paclflo people feel that they havo the gateways closed so tightly that they will remain Intact and that no road will be able to break through.
