DENIES MURDER
Of LITTLE GIRL
Ekman, in Telegram From
Kemmerer, Says He Believes
Suspected Man, and Not
Woman, Is Guilty.
Continued from Page one.)

the first he heard of the little girl was
on Wednesday morning. He told the
inspector that he asked Mrs. Ekman il
she had a child, and she said she had
had one, but that IT had died IN the
east
Inspector Carlson said yesterday that
Anderson told a well connected story
and thnt he insisted that be knew moth
ing of the murder of the child until the
discovery was made at Ogden. Ander-
son spent Tuesday night at the st. AL
bans hotel, Anderson went to the
home of Mrs. Ekman on Fifth West
street at about 9 clock Wednesday
morning. He was admitted to the
house Mrs. Ekman had consulted Lar
son, the furniture dealer who bought
her furniture. and on Wednesday he
called for the furniture. AT that time
the trunk had been roped. Anderson
said that when he went TO tho house
Wednesday morning the trunk was al
ready roped
The fact that during Tuesday and
Wednesday, Anderson was so closely
associated with Mrs Ekman is the chief
reason for his being held at the city
Jail Chief B. F. Grant said yesterday,
iAnderson may have been with Mrs.
Ekman all that time and knew nothing
about the murder. Tt ia possible but
not very probable. The situation strikes
me- as being very queer
Discrepancies in Story.
Anderson, when interviewed last
night. said that he arrived in Salt Lake
on Tuesday afternoon, and after rent
ing room at the st. Albans hotel,
went TO the home OF Mrs. Ekman. The
register at the st. Albans hotel shows
that he went there for the first time.
on Wednesday. He, during his stay
there. paid for two nights room rent.
He left the hotel Friday morning
Anderson told The Tribune reporter that
on Tuesday evening at o'clock he went
10 the Lake hotel with Mrs. Ekman and
rented room for her. Elmer Landsaw
night clerk at the Lake hotel said posi-
lively yesterday that Anderson went to
the Lake hotel at o'clock Wednesday
evening and rented room No. for her
Anderson's statement is further found al
fault BY reason of the fact that room

CITY STREETS TO

Supervisor Petrie Has Plan for
Putting Them in Fine Shape
Before Carnival Date

Aside from having the coming Floral
I irade and Carnival the biggest ans
mGst successful events of their kind,
the committees in charge of the diff.
ferent departments of these two events
will endeavor to have the streets in the
business center of the city paved and
otherwise improved before the time OF
the commencement of the festivities.
Lester Petrie, chairman of the road
committee OF the board Of supervisors,
has presented to the heads of the dif.
farent committees, a plan whereby he
will endeaVor to induce the present
board Of supervisors to have the
streets in that part of the city, over
which the parade will pass, in the best
condition possible for the event. On
certain parts of King street, in the
businss center. the streets become
deep with mud Immediately after q
rain, and, according TO Mr.. Petrie, if
these portions of the streets are paw
ed this condition could be avoided.

CITY CHARTER
PLAN MUST GO
TO CONGRESS
Law Experts Hold Powers of
Superintendent of Public
+ Works Are Affected

Honolulu will have to go to Congress
for Endorsement of any municipal
charter which contemplates taking
over from the territory powers given
under the organic act and not to be
affected merely by territorial legisla
ftion. In particular, the present pow.
ers vested In the superintendent OF
public works by the organic act and
relating to franchises, etc, cannot at
once be turned over to municipal con,
troll. Congress must approve such a
move, and any new city charter that
includes the transfer of such powers
from the territory to the municipality
must be given congressional indorse-
|ment.
Such Is the conclusion that promi-
nent members Of the committee OF
twenty-five, now at work on the pro
posed short-ballot or commission form
of government, have reached after an
suncompleted study of the subject.
+ The members of the committee have
been proceeding on the principle of
'the whole thing or, nothing" as they
put it. That is, they think, If change
is to be made. the city should no long.
er be .hampered by the present dual
government and frequent duplication
of work or clash of territorial and mu-
nicipal Jurisdiction. The new charter,
as 1t has framed itself tentatively in
their minds, would give the city con
troll of practically everything in and
on the island of Oahu. The city would
take over the heswaterwoFks' and the
lighting plant and would operate and
control d flimbeFkpf departments now
handled hy the territeriaI gevernme ent.
Here Is where the Jaw experts de-
clare that Washington's approval must
be obtained. 1t is stated that the SUI
perintendent of public worxs has Ger.
tain powers given him under the or
ganic act that cannot be taken away
and turned over to the city by an act
of the territorial legislature.
Should this idea be upheld, the next
legislature could not finally determine
the city charter and put it into effect
even if the proposed short-ballot plan
should be adopted and bill to that ef-
feet pass the territorial lawmakers.
The bill would then have to be sent to
Washington for approval.
