BODY OF NEWBORN
CHILD FOUND FROZEN
Corpse Of Infant of Unknown Parent.
age Left OH Bank Of
Canal.

The frozen body of new born baby
girl was found on the bank of the
Tenth South canal yesterday after
noon.
Edwin Bird, delivery boy for Elias
Morris & Sons, was driving to his
home, 927 South Fourth West street,
when he noticed bundle wrapped IN
piece of white cloth lying on the
farther side Of the canal between Main
and West Temple streets. Upon in
vestigation he found it to be the body
of an infant, and he hurried imme-
diately to the Office of the Crystal
Salt company, Third West and Ninth
South streets, and telephoned to police
headquarters.
Patrolmen Il. c. Willie, +. B. Tripp
and William Hooper were sent to in
vestigate, They found the body
wrapped in an old black skirt, around
the outside Of which piece of un-
bleached factory cloth had been tied.
They carried the body TO police head
quarters and it was examined by DR.. II.
B. Sprague, who gave the opinion that
the child had been born not more than
twenty-four hours before il was found.
There was no evidence of the cause
Of death, according to DR.. Sprague.
The infant was of white parentage,
evidently, and weighed about eight
pounds. The body was sent to the
undertaking rooms OF Qualtrough-A ALL
colt, to be prepared for burial.
No clcw has been found by the po-
lice as to the parentage of the child
1T is thought that someone, in at
tempting to throw the body into the
canal, had overreached and cast it
clear across to where it landed on the
opposite bank.

time.
The main conclusion reached yesterday
was that II the bond Issue is made the
money shall be spent In building perma-
nent roads over a limited mileage rather

neer and II. n. Morgan, state engineer,

afternoon 10 give their advice relative

ing. Various estimates as to the costs
of the different materials, prepared by
Willard snow, road supervisor and a. II,
Gardner. county surveyor. were e,eS gone nS
to the specifications OF the material To
be used.
"The main thing we have yet to de-
sue" said Oscar w. Carlson, chairman
of the board "is whether or not, the
county can handle 81 100000 worth OF
bonds without an increase in taxation.
We must be more or less certain OF this
before taking any action We must be

BUSINESS IMPROVING,
SAYS {. D. HOWARD
Salt Lake Banker Finds
Spirit of Optimism in
Eastern Cities.
CONGRATULATES UTAH
Finds General Confidence in
New Currency Bill Among
Financiers.
CONGRATULATES UTAH

Decided improvement in the business
conditions at the financial centers OF
the United States during the past two
weeks are noted by e, O. Howard, cash
ier of Walker Brothers bank, who has
lust returned from a business trip of
five weeks to the cast. Mr.. Howard
was in Chicago and New York on hls
eastern trip and enjoyed a number OF
interviews with financial authorities oil
these centers who gave 1t as their be-
lief that the business OF the country
would soon recover from its recent dc.
preston and that the year 1914 would
be one in which general prosperity
would be enjoyed throughout the
country.
Uncertainty relative to the effect of
the Underwood tariff and the Glass
currency act, together with the depress-
jup effect of the Mexican situation, has
caused a halting of business progress,
but a marked improvement In cond1~
tions is noted everywhere, according to
Mr.. Howard. The feeling of optimism
pervades the east and the possibility OF
any serious financial depression is
passed in the belief OF the fnanciers
whom Mr.. Howard met in the east.
Mining Is Help.
Conditions in Utah are such in the
opinion of Mr.. Howard that the business
uncertainty in other parts of the United
States has scarcely been felt at all in
this state. This fact is due largely 10
the mining industry of the state with
its large metal production and it's grow
ing pay roll and also to the conserva-
tism Of Utah which discounts the ef-
feet of depressing financial conditions
elsewhere. Prospects for an exceedingly
prosperous year for Utah, Mr.. How
ard believes, are particularly bright, He
said:
Considering the fact that the
United States government has made
two radical changes in governmen-
tai policy, the business conditions
of the country are remarkably
good. BY the recent tariff act
the government made great
change in its revenue system as
we'll as in the policy Of protection.
The currency act made a radical
change in the financial system of
the country While these bills were
pending in congress the effect on
business caused by the uncertain
ty as to the effect of the bills, was
depressing. Business men adopted
a policy of waiting and progress in
the business world was partially
halted
With the passage of these bills
and the adjustment of business con
ditions to meet the changed condi-
tions. there has been q marked i'm
provement- This Improvement has
been particularly noticeable the
past two weeks There will be
gradual improvement in business
conditions. possibly more rapid
than we think, until the business
of the country again reaches its
normal prosperity.
