i Chairman Cellars of the lighting com
mittee of the city council, said this
morning that he thinks the report of
the committee to the council tomorrow
will be substantially as outlined in the
foregoing paragraphs.
Mayor Lanu was called upon by the
committee, to appear before it this
morning and, to. produce figures to sup
port his contention made to the coun
cil at a special session several weeks
ago that the -city Is at the mercy of the
lighting corporation, which "has a
strangle hold on the throat of the mu
nicipality." Xavanangh's Beport Bead.
The oplntonfrom City Attorney Kav-
naugh was reed to the committee. In
which oplrilon the legal adviser of the
council holds that the executive bord
had no right to withhold from the com-
fany $166 a month which the corpora
Ion maintains Is due it on the present
lighting contract.
; The statement made by Mr. Kav
anaugh is based upon the assumption
that the street lamps now In uie fur
nish fV much light as those provided
for under the terms of the original
contract.
Mayor Lane explained to the commit
tee tuat the company was permitted to
Install the new lights on its positive
assurance that the city would get the
same amount of light or more than it
did from the discarded lamps.
When this question was read Mayor
Lane slapped the table vigorously and
cried: "I protest against the assump
tion. It. la unfair, unjust and a ' mis
statement of facts, Who assumed
that?"
Comes Back at Mayor.
Cltv Attorney Kavanauah renlleri that
his opinion on the subject was requested
by the lighting committee and Council
man Cellars turned to the mayor and
asked: "Why didn't the report of Mr,
Greene specify that the executive
thought the new arcs did not give as
touch Illumination as the old. I thought
that this; fact was admitted. Every
body I nave ever spoken to about It
seems to think that the new system Is
n Improvement.'' V
"Well' said the mayor In reply.'' the
flew lamp does not give as much light as
the old, and everybody knows It."
"Are you buying lignt or voltage, Mr.
MayorT"
"The contract calls for both light and
voltage, Mr. Cellars."
"Would you then rather have the old
light than the new?"
"I don't know about that question. I
would rather have what the contract
culls- for.' I'd rather have both voltage
and light than neither. I'd think I was
getting more for my money."
"If you think the city is not getting
as much light as It used to, why didn't
your executive board say so In Its re
port? The company says the new lights
are better."
Mayor Admits Pari.
"Well," declared the mayor, "the
board couldn't get any Information as
to the cost of the electricity Used under
the new system, although officers of the
company were asked repeatedly for It
and we were forced to go elsewhere for
Information. In a way the new arcs do
give better service.
"The light Is mechanically directed
by the new device so as to be distributed
to better advantage, but the amount of
light furnished is decreased by 40 per
cent.
Although the mayor had been asked
to come to the meeting so the commit
tee could question him he speedily as
sumed the role of inquisitor himself.
He asked Mr. Cellars point blank if he
was representing; the lighting company
and whether or not he considered the
corporation as able to present its case
as Mr. Cellars was for it.
"If you think I am In favor of let
ting this contract as It stands, tou are
mistaken," answered Mr. Cellars. "I am
not representing any company, but I
want to know on what authority the
executive board held up payments
which it was obliged under contract to
pay."
Mr. Cellars Explains.
vve wunneia payment because we
didn't think we owed as much as the
company demanded. We offered to pay
as soon as the company should show us
that It was giving the city the service
required oy me contract.
The mayor was asked to show the
committee that the statements made by
him to Uie council that a light distribut
ing system couia De acquired for 8350.
000 and where he could purchase lights
ji bmu a yaiem were acquireou
"Now, gentlemen," exclaimed the
mayor, growing somewhat warmer, "no
amount of dodging and squirming can
escape the facts. The city can get its
light cheaper and own Its own distrib
uting; plant I have assured you that
if the council takes the steps to do
this as I have asked them to, I will
lake.-- the responsibility of securing
Ugh tine bjds.
"Within .six months outside com-
f antes will come In here. If you give
hem an inducement. Sign up a five
year contract, however, and - you take
away the Incentive' for other plants
being installed in this city.
' . Mayor Olves Estimate,
"I- have been assured by a well
known firm of Los Angeles that the
city can purchase a system of light
wires, including underground and other
cables, that will furnish Juice for 2400
limca or more, at a tost of 1350.000.
This firm installs electrlo plants all over
the country, and I have figures sub
mitted to me by leading electrical engineers.-
The .'council could have seen
these figures six months ago if It nad
manifested any Interest In the matter.
"Don't . understand that I mean to
advocate a municipal lighting plant at
this time. I rfon't, but I do say that if
the distributing system Is purchased we
wir. be in a position to get competition.
The gas company will supply some of
the lamps as soon as ' connections cart
be made and It will not be long until
th'e will be plenty of competition."
The mayor then read a long state
ment in which he quoted a .magaslne
article from Alton D. Adams, the fore
most electrical engineer, perhaps. In
Ar-irica. This the -mayor said was
ample grounds for the belief that - the
city could put Into practice all the sug
gestions made bv- the mayor with, re
gard to the lighting problem..' . ..

Sunday afternoon. He made' a lengthy
confession yesterday afternoon In which
he stated that he and two of his pals
had held up the train, said that Hayes
was the leader of the gang and that Jhe

Hayes has an alleged bad record. He
Is said to have been a convict and have
served a term in the California states

This, briefly, is what the sheriff is
relying upon to prove his suspects In
this" strange Tweedledom and Tweedl
eed mixture are the only, real, author
Used suspects.
Hayes, - according to the sheriffs con
tention, la the leader of the gang. He
Is sulking In his cell at the county jail
and has refused to make any statement
concerning himself or his actions other
than that a friend had given htm the
two diamond rings to sen for him. This
friend Is known as "Chicago Slim."
Kayes Has Other Barnes.
Hayes hlmseli baa gone under the
alalses of Jack Hayes, Jack Walton and
"Slim." He s about 35 years old, is
quiet and self-possessed and speaks as
If he had oeen well educated. He ad
mitted to Deputy Sheriff Leonard that
he had served a term in the peniten
tiary. Burks Is about-21, is dark and rather
stocky. He is said to live in East Port
land and to have a mother and other
relatives, at East Oak and East Fourth
streets. He has not had any regular
occupation, according to the story he
told the sheriff.
The third man Is also said to live
here and it is stated that his parents
are respectable and are well-to-do. He
speaks with a foreign accent The sher
iffs office hopes to catch him this af
ternoon. Leonard and Fitzgerald secured their
first "lead" on the case from the black
hat and slicker found by the side of
the locomotive after the hold-up. The
hat was a soft felt one and had the
Initials "J. A. 8." on the hat band.
Burks- says It Is his. The slicker was
an old black one, cut off at the knees
and with two red blotches of paint on
the back. Inside the pocket was some
paper which bore the name of George
Goldfinch. i
Slept In Jangles.
The officers went up to Hood River,
found that the three men had left
Portland on the Bailey Gatzert Wednes
day, spent the night In the "Jungles"
near Hood River and boarded the train
at Hood River Thursday evening. When
Leonard and Fitzgerald returned t.i
Portland they looked up Goldfinch and
arrested both him and Jlayes. When
Goldfinch told the .slicker story, ad
mitted that It was his and had bean
missing they decided that he was ln
rrocent, but that Hayes must be one
of the train robbers.
Their next move was to use private
detectives to "shadow" Haves' rooms
and it was in this way that Burks
came under suspicion. Ho was arrest

Mrs. Cosgrove is greatly relieved.
Tne governor-elect has become ac

and spent last evening downstairs in
the main parlor.
It is uncertain yet what will be done
about the Inauguration. He could be

There seems to be little probability
that he will be able to return to Wash

Mrs. Cosgrove Is planning for a merry

later. ....
Burks in his confession, told the
sheriff's office that he had been double
crossed by his pals, had been given
only $1.80 In money and none of the
Jewelry. He was sore about It, he said,
and so was willing to tell on the others
to even things up. He told the sheriff
where the rest f the Jewelry is sup
posed to have been "planted" and a
hunt for this "plant" will be made this
afternoon.
RAILROAD SLEUTH
SAYS SHERIFF
HAS ROBBERS
THe two suspects at the county Jail.
Burks and Hayes, were this afternoon
officially recognized as the correct train
robbers by J. J. Fitzgerald, head of the
detective department of the O. R. & N.
"There can be no doubt but that Hayes
and Burks are the right men," said Fitz
gerald. "Certain facts that I have in
my possession and am not yet at liberty
to' give out establish this beyond a ques
tion of doubt Our hope now Is to catch
the third man, when, we believe, we will
have the trio that held up and dyna
mited the train."
When asked how the train crew could

lice station and failed to Identify tho
sheriff's prisoners Mr. Fitzgerald stated
that It was probably a case of mis
taken recognition.
"The train crew were excited, theru
