| <20 HONPRSIVR BUILT PLEA DENIED systerns Confessed Murderer of Hon- olulu Boy Must Face Trial, Judge Rules. By the Assoclated Press. HONOLULU, September 25.—His de- eire to plead guilty and accept quick Justice for the slaying of Gill Jamiescn, denied by territorial law, Myles Yutaka Fukunaga today faced a speedy jury trial and equally swift justice in the island’s fast-moving kidnaping-murder drama. Less than six days after he kidnaped the 10-year-old son of Frederick Jam- ieson, Honolulu banker, from school, Fukunaga was indicted yesterday and | ar med before Circuit Judge Alva E. | Bteadman, who refused to accept the | Japanese student’s plea of “Guilty, sir.” | The judge said he would appoint a defense attorney today. Local law pre- scribes that two days must elapse after conviction by a jury before sentence can be passed and 14 days elapse be- tween sentencing and execution, in case the extreme penalty is given. The Fukunaga case is almost a rep- HNea of the Hickman case and has stir- red Honolulu as much as did the slay- ing of Mirfam Parker in Los Angeles last December. Hickman collectedl ransom after killing the child and was treiled to his capture, as was Fuku- naga, by identified money paid him. Serial numbers on bills used as ransom led to the capture of both slayers. Hickman, under sentence to die in California, declared he wanted the ran- som money to enter college, while Fu- kunaga told police he wanted money to send his parents back to Japan. Fukunaga was known in school as &n excellent pupil. 'He delivered the salutatory oration at his graduation in 1925 and also won an essay contest. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1928.° CURRENT IN YAMPA CANYON UPSETS BOAT OF EXPLORERS Colorado Gorg;’. Reveals New Peril to Party Seeking Data on Uncharted Region. ‘This is the third of a series of articles by A. G. Birch, leader of the first expedition to have explored suc- cessfully the Yampa River Canyon in northwestern Colorado, one of the last “blind spots” on the map of the United States. BY A. G. BIRCH. Special to The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. DENVER, Colo., September 25.—The entrance to the Yampa River Canyon, in northwestren Colorado, is an impos- ing sight as one approaches it down the stream. A mountain of vivid red and yellow sandstone lies across the western end of Lily Park, and into a gash in this wall, nearly 2,000 feet deep, the river vanishes, suddenly narrowing from a placid stream a quarter of a mile wide to, a rushing torrent scarcely 125 feet across. As our boats were caught in the cur- rent and drawn like chips in a mill- race into the gorge, we began to hear ahead of us the roar of rapids. There was no sunlight in the narrow depths. As we passed into the shadow a strong wind hit us, chilling us-as if we had dropped into an ice box. A few hundred yards brought us to a bend. As we rounded this, the wind suddenly increased to hurricane pro- portions. Burt Moritz and myself in the lead boat, both lost our hats. Two rolls of exposed films that I had placed on the seat were blown overboard. The gale was so fierce it struck the unusually high sides of our boats and carried us back upstream, against the swift current. We were forced to row furiously to keep off the rocks. But at the end of flve minutes the hurricane ended as suddenly as it had begun. And then we saw facing us a had heard upon entering the canyon were just ahead. Rocks Menace Party. Jagged rocks rising out of the water from a few inches to several feet ex- tended from wall to wall of the can- yon, and through these the stream whirled and foamed, sometimes leaping in waves two or three feet high. This continued for a distance of a quarter to_a half mile. None of us was an experienced boat- man. We were trusing to the stanch- ness of our craft and hoping to learn as we went along. Moritz and myself, being in the lead, studiec the rapids for a moment and then decided to try a channel directly in midstream which looked to offer’ five or six feet clear- ance between two big boulders. Taking lustily to the oars, we pulled our craft over to where the current rushing for this opening would catch us. As soon as we felt the grip of the water we jerked our oars into the boat to keep them from being smashed against the rocks and snatched a glance back at the other boat. Mace and Dunham, the photogra- phers, vll'lgre probably a hundred feet hing here was an arrangement at the bow of their boat, upon the deck over the airtight tank, permitting the heavy “movie” camera tripod to be clamped there and chained down, so Dunham could stand on the deck and tak: pictures. He had been “shocting” our lead boat passing into the canyon and now he was getting ready to snap B e B ————F] us running our first rapids. He was waving his hat and motioning us to “put action into 1t1” Moritz Thrown Out. But the action came quite suddenly and without any effort on our part. Just as we thought ourselves rushing) smoothly into the clear channel, our bow grounded with a terrific crunch upon an invisible rock probably three inches under the water. We stopped so abruptly Moritz, in the bow, was cata- pulted head foremost out of the boat, while I was sent sprawling upon the bottom, all the breath knocked out of me. I was just struggling to my knees when the boat swung around upon the hidden ‘rock, as upon a pivot, and crashed sidewise upon the big rock at the right of the narrow channel. ! The force of the current swept the craft up the sloping side of this rock, and en instant later it turned over, pitching me after into the water. The current swept me downstream, banging me painfully against rocks, with the heavy boat bobbing along after me and threatening to overtake and crush me against some boulder. I struck out to swim, but found myself impeded by my kodak, which still hung by its strap over my shoulder. 1 was struggling to free myself from the kodak when there came a grip on my arm, and Moritz, clinging to a rock, was hauling me up beside him. He was bleeding from a bad cut on his shoulder and was almost winded, but was still “going strong.” Camera Man Topples. Hardly had we settled upon the rock before we heard a faint yell above the roaring of the rapids, and, looking al CHILD COUGHS Moritz ickl AT THOXINE upstream, saw the other boat just head- ing into the foaming water. Noting where we had cdme to grief, Mace had steered his craft toward another chan- nel, further to the left. Dunham, clinging to his bobbing perch, had photographed the whole of our spill, and still was cranking, with his camera trained upon us. But, even as we took this in, the photographers’ boat struck a rock and stopped dead. Dunham'’s grip upon his camera was torn Icose, and he was flung headlong into the stream.

Dunham was floundering about in the foaming waves and being whirled swiftly along. But presently, as the boat swung near him, Mace reached out an oar, and Dunham grabbed it and was dragged back into the craft Seeing the plight of Moritz and my- self—and their own boat now being through the worst of the rapids—the photographers took out after our craft They went nearly half a mile before they overtook ft.

It was some minutes before we made a landing. Mournfully I emptied the water from my kodak. And then we righted the capsized boat. (Covsright. 1928, by X American News.
