Confesses

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec 22-The
sheriff's office, railroad detectives and
local police are confronted by a curious
array of contradictions i'm the matter of
the identification of men alleged 10

the Oregon Railway e Navigation pas
senger train, Portland Chicago special.
near this city last Thursday night.
Yesterday afternoon the engineer and
fireman of the train positively Identified
Oscar Johnson and Harry Benson as
being two of the three men who held
up the train, and last night William
Burke, young man of 21 years. who
was arrested as a suspect in the rob
berry, confessed his part in the crime.
His confession implicated one Jack
Hayes, an alleged ex-convict from
Folsom.
Hayes was arrested Sunday. Burke
did not know Hayes was in jail, and he
was secreted while Hayes was brought
out into the corridors so that Burke
could see him. He positively identified
Hayes.
Burke also implicated a third man.
for whom the detectives are now

Hayes denies he had anything to Go
with the robbery of the train, and eN-
planned his possession of three dia-
monds found on his person when
given him by Chicago Whitley" a no

Colonel GoethaIs Also Complies Sta

Waterway to Be Opened
January I, 1915
Especial to The Herald.l

| WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 22.-Ad-
vices received in Washington state that
NJ. Bunau-Varilla, the famous French
engineer, is preparing further data tc
substantiate his criticism of the con-
struction of the Panama canal which
owing to charges and counter charges
made by numerous prominent news
papers and replied to by President
Roosevelt, is becoming an interesting
theme in the national capital. The ma
ture of M. Bunau-Varilla's data is. not
divulged.
On the other hand, it is said Col G..
w. Goethais, who is in charge of the
work, is preparing figures to prove the
wisdom of the method adopted by the
United States This is in compliance
with the request of President Roose-
velt, who directed that he reply to the
charges made by Bunau-Varilla
The latter faVors a sea level canal
and believes that Gatun dam will be
failure. The Frenchman's published
statements have Stirred congress to a
proposed investigation of the canal
plans.
Canal Opened in 1915
The canal will be opened January l,
1915, according to an official commune
cation from Joseph Bucklin Bishop,
secretary of the canal commission.
The statement, in part, is as follows:
There has been excavated from the
line of the canal since the Americans
took control about 56,O00,000 cubic yards.
This is as near as can be calculated
at present, and is about one-third of
the entire excavation necessary to COM
plete the work.
"Of this 56,000,000 cubic yards about
100000 have been removed during
the past three years. Active work was
not begun until January, 1906
In 1904 only about 243,000 cubic yards
were removed, all from the Culebra
cut. In 1906 there were removed from
this cut 914.000 cubic yards. In 1906
from all points along the line of the
canal 5,932470 cubic yards were re-
moved; in 1907, 15,764,O95 cubic yards;
in 1908 down to November 1 nearly 3D.
100000 cubic yards, and the total for
this year will not be far from 97,0OO,00O
cubic yards.
This will bring the grand total of
American excavation to about 60,000,00O
cubic yards. AS practically all of this |
will have been accomplished within |
three years. the average rate is be-
tween 36000,OOO and 100000 cubic
yards year.

MISSING WATCHMAN
ADMITS HE BURNED
ELECTRIC FACTORY
Employe of DoIgevlIe Concern, Who
Disappeared After Fire, Arrested
in San Diego and Con-
fesses

Albert Hildebrandt, who was en-
ployed as a night watchman at the
plant of the Electric Heating and Man
ufacturing company in Dolgeville, was
arrested yesterday at San Diego. where
he confessed starting the fire which de-
stroyed the companys factory early
last Friday morning. Hildebrandt will
be brought to the county Jail in Los
Angeles.
The fire was discovered about 4
O'Clock Friday morning, and the re-
sulting loss was $4,000, with about $15,-
900 insurance Hildebrandt was not TO
be found at the time and was not
heard from until located by San Diego
officers. Suspicion attached to him
when it was found that he had not
been burned to death.
1.-The old man had had some trouble
with the sheriff's deputy who had ar
when we had financial difficulty last
winter, and he seemed to hold this
against the company at times" said r.
Il. Brackney, president of the COM
pany last night. 'Our superintendent
told me that Hildebrand occasionally
became intoxicated, and at such times
he seemed to feel aggrieved and blame
the company for the action of the
sheriff's deputy. He is nearly 20 years
old, and the only reason could see for
his action was that he must have been
drunk and while in that condition de-
cided TO get even with the company for
his fancied wrong"
Hildebrandt's arrest was made yes
terday afternoon by the San Diego po-
lice on information furnished by Wal
ter Edwards of Los Angeles. Edwards
recognized Hildebrandt and pursuaded
him to take several drinks, when Hill
debrandt admitted starting the fire,
saying that the company owed him
two months wages and that he wanted
to play even." He added that he
wanted to see the stockholders get
some insurance, but gave revenge as
his principal motive.

will send man to San Diego for Hill |
