tim Beneath Car When He
Starts to Drive Away
After Accident. '
After being assured that the pe
destrian whom ills ear liad strurkwas
unhurt, D. M. Wynne, 5610 South
Fifty-second street, got Into the ma
chine and started to drive on, A
piercing shriek came from beneath the
machine, and Wynne then discovered
that a woman had been pinned under
the wheels. lie had not known that
he struek her.
The woman was Mrs. Ansa Vileskie,
Forty-ninth ami Q streets. She is now
at St. Joseph hospital with a dislo
cated hip and severe bruises and
lacerations. Physicians say she may
b« injured Internally.
Wynne was driving south on Forty
fifth street at 6:30 a. m. Tuesday, and
as he turned into Q street a pedes
trian slipped Into th# path of his car.
Wynne swerved his car hastily to one
side, but could not avoid striking the
man. Th# car brushed him, and he
fell to the pavement.
Helps Man to Feet.
Wynne leaped out of his car, helped
the man to his feet, and offered to
take him to a doctor. Th# man as
sured Wynne that he was unhurt,
* however, and refused to give his
name.
"I'm not going to make you any
trouble,” he said laughingly, and
walked away, apparently toward one
of the packing plants.
As Wynne began to drive away,
Mrs. Wileskie screamed. She had
been lying unconscious under a front
wheel until the movement of the car
caused a sudden pain which awak
ened her.
Accident Is Mystery.
Wynne picked up the woman and
took her to the hospital. Physicians
believe she will recover.
Wynne cannot explain how his car
happened to strike the woman, as he
did not see her until after she
screamed. He believes, however, that
she must have been walking In front
of the man, and that she was struck
sj the man leaped aside to avoid the
car. The accident occurred while it

DOROTHY ELLINGSON
San Francesco, Jan. !0.—"Women have been kindest to me In my trou
bles, but I have no special preference about jurors who try me, I do not
care If they are men or women,” Dorothy Ellingson told International
New* Service today.
"I believe I would prefer to have six men and six women on the jury,”
she said, "but It don't make much difference."
"Everyone has been pretty good to me—especially Mrs. Sullivan, the
poHce matron. I couldn't have stood under this if it hadn’t been for her.”
By International Vows Sorrier.
Dos Angeles, Jan. 20.—Skies cleared
today for Dorothy Elllngson, IS year
old redheaded San Francisco girl,
who committed matricide because her
mother tried to halt her mad flight
down the trail of jazz.
Today's turn of events indicated
the "Jazz maniac” would gain her
freedom after spending se\en years
tn the girls' school at Ventura, Cal.
Attorneys for the girl announced
the case had been removed from po
lice court channels and Dorothy will
appear tomorrow for preliminary
hearing in juvenile court.
This will probably mean that the
girl who killed her mother in the first
case of its kind recorded in California
will slave off a long prison sentence.
Thursday morning, after her hear
ing In the Juvenile court, the case
will automatically be turned over to
the juvenile branch again for dis
position. Then, under the California
law-, the limit sentence fdr the girl
would he to remain in the Ventura
girls' school until she Is 23.
Three More Held.
Two 16 year-old girls and a youth,
all admitting they attended a gay
party at the home of David Stein and
met there Dorothy Elllngson on the
night of the day she slew her moth
er, were apprehended by police and
were to be questioned today. The
girls are Catherine Mossman and
Thelma Vollberg, and the boy is
Emil Kreuter, a jazz band drummer.
Kreuter was held on a statutory
charge, according to police.
While Dorothy continued to show
little interest In her fate, her father
and brother and attorneys quarreled
regarding plans for the girl'* de
fense.
An array of alienists and scientists
to testify that Dorothy Is suffering
from "mental illness" was planned by
Alexander Moslln. an attorney, who
took charge of the ruse of "the
daughter of Jazz," hut the Viking
featured father bitterly opposed this
move.
"I" want my daughter to rest her
case on Just the facts," he said.
There has never been any Insanity
in our family and Dorothy has al
ways been regarded as a perfectly
normal child. I don't like this busi
ness of alienists snd I want her to
tell In court, Just what happened—
the whole truth, hiding nothing "
Rarl Elllngson, th* girl's brother,

Taxpayers.
Some 1h0 taxpayers, mostly dele
gates from ro$d Improvement organi
zations and improvement club organi
zations, appeared before county com
missioners In the courthouse Tuesday
morning to present arguments for
paving about 50 miles of road In the
county during the ensuing season.
Based on the most recent paving bid
received by commissioners, $2.47 a
yard, the road Improvement asked
for by the various delegates st the
meeting would eost about $1,375,000,
commissioners said. There la $400,
000 in bonds not yet sold available to
the county to carry on the work, and
thla amount would be matched by fed
eral aid If the road* paved were eligt
ble for this aid.
Benson Resolution.
A resolution presented by the Ben
son School association asks the paving
of the Maple etreet road from the
end of the present pavement to con
nect with the Lincoln Highway west
of Elkhorn; of road No. 8, the Blair
highway, from connection with the
pavement at Irvington to the county
line; of Seventy-second street front
Center street to the Washington
county line, especially this road should
he paved from road No. 9 to the
Military highway; Sixtieth street from
Pratt street north past the Brandeis
farm, and Fifty-second street from
the city limits to Ames avenue. The
resolution was signed by Gordon Roth,
president, and E. I. Horn, secretary,
and tendered by a commute of seven.
Sixtieth Street Plea.
A. E. Biggs, delegate of the West
Lawn Hill Improvement club, headed
a delegation of about 35, who asked
the paving of Sixtieth street from
Pacific street south to Center street.
The paving of West Maple street also
was requested.
The public highways committee of
the Chamber of Commerce asked the
commissioners to take advantage of
the experiments of the state of Illi
nois In using concrete for paving,
pointing out that it Is $10,000 cheaper
than brick paving and probably as
satisfactory.
The program of paving suggested
by the public highways committee
and the Joint good roads committee
were almost identical, and »s follows
1. Sixtieth street from Q street to Barpy

So, though after a while Reddy pre

We are confident that Yellow

extra passengers is bringing about another
revolution iif the cab industry. Already
we have noticed the presence of many new
riders—people who never rode before or
used some other means of transportation.
This is a natural, logical out
come of a rate that is almost absurd
ly low. It is absurdly low because it is of

one of the best cab services in the world

one fare, or about SI.60. The cost, divided >
"netween you, is 32 cents each. Yet you
can enjoy a perfect service, a safe and
reliable driver, a sanitary cab and protec
tion.
You business men living in
Dundee—you and three or four of
your friends can ride to business down
town for one fare, or about SI.20. Split
this into five equal parts and your indi
vidual cost for high-class transportation
is 24 cents. And you enjoy the equivalent
of a private car and personal chauffeur.
You folks living away over on
the South Side, for instance—four or
five of you can ride to the city for the
price of one fare, or about SI.50, and the
cost apportioned among you is 30 cents.
Yet you enjoy a cab sendee that has no
