fort to save kid" White from the
gallows, John Hildebrand, partner of
the youthful murderer in the hold-up
of John Conway's saloon in Seattle,
when Murphy, the aged teamster, was
shot and killed, yesterday confessed
to Warden Kees that it was he, in

that ended in Murphy's death.
Hildebrand's confession was taken
down by a shorthand reporter in the

vict's statements telegraphed to Gov

New York, March 1.-The Mutual
out a statement today relative ito the
withdrawal of the company from the
state of Missouri. The withdrawal
followed a discussion as TO an exami-
nation of the company by Missouri
examiners at the expense of The COM
pany. The Mutual Reserve objected
to the expense in prospect, holding
that it was excessive and illegal. The
statement says:
"'rhe company's estimate of the
minimum cost OF the examination Is
sS000, while the superintendent ad-
mits that 1t would probably reach
$4,000. While the company is advised
that the Missouri courts would re-
strain the superintendent from inter
fering with the business of the COM
pany, such action would involve a
large expense, and the superintendent
could nullify the effects of II by flu
ture hostility to the company in re-
venge for its compelling him to re-
cede from his illegal position.
"The company, therefore, was face
to face with the alternative of spend
ing the money to compel the superin-
tendent to observe the law or else
submit to an illegal examination or
withdraw from the state. AS the
course least burdensome to the policy
holders, It has beer decided to sub
NIT to the injustice involved in the
latter alternative"

"lf everything progresses satisfac-
torily from now on, bids for the con-
struction of the dam for the east
Umatilla project will be advertised for
about May l, If not sooner" said John
T. Whistler. of the reclamation SER
vice. who has been in the city today,
having arrived this morning.
According to Mr.. Whistler there are
some matters yet to be adjusted, but
no difficulty is anticipated. Practi-
cally all of those owning lands under
the project have now signed up in the
Water Users association, and there
will be no danger of delay from that
source.
Also, 1t is required by the depart
ment that before any bids are called
for complete rights of way for the ca
nails and reservoir sites must be had.
While these have not vet been defi-
nitely secured for the East Umatilla
project, agreements have been made
with most of the parties owning the
land through which the canal will go,
and also those owning the reservoir
site. Mr.. Whistler states that those
from whom these rights must be Sc
cured have so far acted with reason
ableness, and have shown a desire to
see the work forwarded as much as
possible.
There is no certainty, according to
Mr.. Whistler, that separate contracts
will he let for the construction of the
canal and the dam, for one contract
may be let for the entire work of es-
tablishing the system. 1t is estimated
that to construct the canals and res
ervoir and to maintain the system will
cost S1,000.O00.
