The theft of the car does not shed any light in connecting Kelly with Mrs Haworths murder, as the car was stolen in the day time and the aged lady was murdered the same night after having been seen in company with Kelly after eight o'clock. It may, however, develop-th- at there is a thread of evidence, indirect, as Kelly is alleged to have had Mrs. Haworth's daughter out auto riding in the stolen car. Mrs. Haworth was found dead and partially hidden in a clump of bushes in a vacant lot back of the signboards between the Healy hotel and the Bingham hotel on Wall avenue, last Saturday morning about 10:00 o'clock. A coroners jury Tuesday morning found that the aged woman came to her death by a blow on the left temple, the blow being caused by meanB unknown to the jury. Mrs. Haworths body was exhumed Wednesday and a nost mortem examination by City Physician N. II. Savage, Wednesday afternoon revealed .that there was a skull fracture above the right car. There was also an abrasion on the left temple. Dr. Savage stated that the blow on the right side of the head may have been caused by a fall or a blow from some blunt instrument, but could not have been caused by a blow from a fist. Kelly was the last person seen with the deceased before her death, which was about 8:30 p. m. Saturday eve- ning. A new angle of the case developed Wednesday, when Sergeant L. W. Pack found that Kelly was an habitual and prolific user of a certain brand of lilac perfume, At the coroners inquest William W. Bowman testified that the odor around the dead woman where she lay after being found last Saturday, was one of lilac. Wednesday Sergeant Pack when searching the oom of Kelly, found a number of bottles which had contained lilac, and the odor from a partially filled bottle of the liquid found in Kellys room, was said by Bowman to be the same odor that he had noticed eminating from the dead womana person shortly after her body was found. If Kelly is apprehended, he will in all probability be charged with the murder of the aged woman, County Attorney Parley E. Norseth stated yesterday. Bills Passed Over; Presidents Veto In less than two hours yesterday the spnate passed four bills over the presidents veto. The bills passed over veto were the Tyson bill providing pro retirement rights to World war n emergency officers, the bill providing for $10,500,000 for road building through the public lands of the west, the bills for providing increased pay for night postal workers, and to grant fourth class postmasters rent, fuel and light allowances.

Re-n- d ' i j Paving: of Four Blocks Will Start Ogden City Offered Cheap Rate Money For Special Improvements Y esterday At an Farly Date Errett wa City Engineer Harry authorized by the city eoinmissnm to notice to contractors for bids Iiublish paving of four city blocks as follows: street, between liar, rison and Tyler avenues; Darling street, between Jackson and Vim Huron avenues; Twenty seventh street from Washington to Grant avenue, and lorter avenue, between Thirty-secon- d streets. and Thirty-thirTwenty-eight- A probable j j solution of many financial problems which arc at this time confronting the city commission and the taxpayers of Ogden was presented to the commission at yesterday's meeting, when representatives of a prominent bonding house guaranteed the money at less than 4 per cent for special improvements. There are at this time bonds in the amount of $150,000 against the city which mature January 1, 1020, and which must be handled by a issue or an new bonding issue. The maturing bonds may be handled at very low rates, according to representatives of the bond house who appeared before the city commission yesterday. Many new special improvement problems are confronting the commission, every one of which is being given serious and careful consideration by the city commission. Among the more prominent improvements being asked for may tie noted the airport, which is to become a reality, and which is badly needed for the citys future welfare as an important airport the stadium, which many think comes next on the list of really praiseworthy improvements; the municipal golf course, which has a very strong backing of prominent and influential citizens; the expansion of the citys water supply and water system; paving projects, now in preliminary stages, and others badly needed; sidewalk paving; enlargement or expansion of parks; purchase of watershed land for protection of the city's water, 603 acres of which has already been purchased; the Diesel lighting system which has been before the commission for months; and n large number of other more or less important city projects. Irge amounts of money will of necessity be required for the various improvements, every one of which is praiseworthy. All of the above mentioned improvements of necessity cannot be made at one time; however, when the commission is guaranteed money at less than 4 Vi per cent, it is a very important item in the budget of the city, and most surely is interesting from the taxpayers point of view, who, after all, have the bills to pay. The proposition presented to the city commission yesterday of the cheap money will be considered by that body, and the best interests of Ogden will undoubtedly be foremost. Which projects will be attempted thia year is not finally decided, with the exception of one or two, but it is expected that other special improvements will be considered, as well as the most economical method of handling the issue of the city. $450,000 forthcoming bond or com-missi- : ce The newspaper editors of Utah. will hold their meeting all fenm!iav evening, t the chamber over eastern Utah, and the dates fixed the directors of that are Jane 16, 17 and 18.

Wright & Sons State; Fine Spirit is Shown lien-nio- At the time of his death the company which ho organized with his father when the first store was opened in Ogden, owned five stores in cities in Utah and Idaho and was one of the largest systems of department stores in tho intermountain region. Mr. Wright hod not been uclive in the management of the business of the company for several years previous to nis death but displayed an interest in a general way. For two years he was president of the L. I). S. mission of New Zealand, which work he terminated in 1926 when he returned to his home in Ogden. Soon after his return from New Zealand he showed signs of failing health, but no serious complications appeared until a short time before his death. On Friday of last week he was taken to the hospital from his home company. The thin but blinding veil of tionalism was shattered at a union chambanquet of Salt Lake and Ogden bers of commerce Wednesday night, revealing, so speakers declared, that the men of the two cities cherish the tame ambition for Utah, tor their cities and for home and family and educational opportunity. Likewise that they have a common knowledge that prosperity for all cities depends on development of the resources of the state. For the first time under auspices of the Salt Lake chamber the two organizations joined at the same board. With 300 present, seats were arranged so that Ogden and Salt Lake men alternated. Lester D. Freed, introduced as toastmaster by John Chester Deal, guided the program along humorous lines. Hamilton Park, Salt Lake, began the round of addresses with a burlesque oration in which he made capital of some of the pet foibles of Salt and Ogden and some of the best families. Urges Growth In a more serious mood James 11. DeVine, president of the Ogden chamber, pointed out that Utah resources challenged the best that all her sons can do and that success, growth and wonderful development are the rewards that are offered for united, earnest effort. Mr. DeVine said Ogden in the past had fought for certain things fundamental to the growth of the city. Salt Lakfi, he acknowledged, was the famous city of Utah, the worlds mining and smelting center and the educational as well as the political capital of Utah. Ogden, he said, is not an accident. It is the second largest city in Utah and one of the important cities of the west because of certain fundamental advantages, which the business men of that city hope to foster. lie praised the Salt Lake chamber for recent steps made to cooperate with Ogden. Looking through tne he said, Salt Lake a of tourist, eyes is Utah and there is little distinction between the city of Ogden and the ride through the world's most beautiful valley and Salt Lake itself as the tourist never secs the city limit boundary. Yet Salt Lake thoughtlessly placed over signs which diverted tourists than mountains and sage brush rather via Weber canyon to the state's supreme attraction which he declared to be the strip of beautiful countrysides, gardens, fields and orchards with Salt Lake at one end and Ogden east at the other and bounded on the west on the and fault Wasatch the by by the Great Salt Lake, both commonplace sights to residents but world wonders none the less.
