About the same time, burglars entered the office of A. E. Clark, private pros ecutor In ti.e case. In the eon building-, and "Jimmied" open his desk, but took notl.lng particular to the case ex cept a list of witnesses of no particu lar Import. Aa soon as the news spread among those concerned In the case, there was a gathering of the prosecutors In District Attorney Cameron's office, and another of the attorneys for the defense In the fflce of Jay Bowerman. From eacn went forth a statement, ths prosecution charging that the burglaries had been committed by agents for tha defense, and the defense saying that It was a "frame-up" of tha other side, with an evident Intent to forra tha case to change of venue. Defease Dealea Isslralow. While denying with great warmth any knowledge of tha art. Attorneys Malarkey. Bowerman and Sumner, act ing for Wilde, announced that they would take no advantage that might offer through tha abstraction of tha documents, but would consent to tha ad mission of copies. They assert that nothing was taken that would have been intunoue to them and point to the crudeness of the work to show that It could have been only malicious. Tha missing papers are two leaves torn from the loose-leaf ledger of tha bank aald to have contained the per sonal account of Louis J. Wilde, and the account of the Union Telephone Construction Company, owner of the bonds sold to the bank and now In Is sue In the case against Wilde; all tha stubs of certificates of deposit, aggre gating IJuO.eoo. representing tha sum paid by the bank for the Omaha bonds; letters from Wilde to W. Cooper Mor ris; communications from persons In the Esst. telling of Wilde's operations thera and not admlsalble aa evidence and two checks, paid by outsiders for blocks of the Tacoma bonds which Mor ris Is alleged to have accepted In lieu of o.oo of his profits on the sale of the Omaha bonds to tha bank.

It Is pointed out by the defense that under an order from Judge Catena they have ai-ress to every bit of documentary evi dence which the prosecution Intends to offer and that anything that has not been seen by them Is automatically barred from presentation at the trial. Therefore they ask what possible mo tive could the defense have for a theft which woulj give them no advantage and simply result In prejudice against thlr client. W F Frailer, stenographer, was the first" to arrive at the District Attorney's office yesterday, putting In his appear ance about o'clock. He was followed In a few minutes by Dletrlct Attorney Camewon. who went to his office, but did not observe that anything had been disturbed. Frailer entered with a let ter and noticed the Oregon Trust ledger lvlng open on the table, lie Invited Cameron's attention, and In a moment both men aald that Intruders had been In the office. After thorough Investigation of the premises they suspected that aome one had clambered through tha transom from the hall. From this it Is Inferred that there must hava been two men. one to lift the other. After "entering the outer door, the Intruders went through tha emits of offices and broke open desks used by Deputies r lliger ald. Collier and Mlchele. Nothing, so far as could be made out. was taken from the desks, but the contents were much disordered. latraders fee -Jlsaasy. The search ended at a closet In thai private room of Judge Cameron, where the few exhibits not at the Courthouse were deposited. The door of tl closet was "Jimmied" In a crude manner. Tha leoiter and certificate of deposit book were spread out on the District Attor ney s desk. With thorn before fcim. the thief, with no Index to guide htm. turned to the accounts of Mlde end the construction compsny. and tore them out roughly, leaving ragged edges In the. file. He did likewise with tha stubs of tha certlflcatea of deposit. broke onen a drawer in Jir. ...... nint h&J been, he doparted. As soon as the facts were known, the District Attornev communicated with the Sheriff and Chief Slover. Siover ar nd took charge, but Sheriff Stevens, acting under advice from Pre- r.dlng reZCZZlZi o hand in the case, because It waa felt that ac- trvltv might conflict with his Impend ing duty of summoning the Jurors In tha trial.

The desk, a f handsome one. was marred Huhlly.

Clark went to his w nrrire. X trace of suspicious per- I torn had been noted In either building-. The defense sees noming- out a cruuo attempt of the other aide to add to the public eentlment in the caae against Wilde, and link the act with the. charges made lat week that the grand Jury which Indicted Wilde had been tampered with. Both aide denied be lief that the principals of the adverse litigants were cognixant of the crime, and lay it to hired agenta acting on their own initiative. Papers I'eeleea e Defease. "Why should we do such a fhlng." asked Attorney Malsrkey. -On the face of the facts we have gained nothing. We have copies of every document which, under Judge Gatens order, the prosecution will be allowed to present. KQI'Al. Sl FFRtCK IEIDEH TO CALL CAWP4KJN MEET- . INS TOMOHT. Mrs. Abigail ee Daalway. representatives of different po litical, social and Industrial associations will nice tonight at g o'clock at the convention ball of the Commercial Club to or ganise a etate-wlde association of voters for women's suffrage. Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway. president of the Oregon Society of Women's Suffrage, will call the meeting to order and will ex plain the objects of the proposed organization. This will be the first meeting of the kind ever held In the West. It Is said. Among the men who will take an active part In the organiza tion's work are C. W. Fenton. F. V. Mulkey. Judge C. IT.

If we did this thing, we should have removed nothing detrimental to our caae. gained no Information that would be of value to us, and merely added fuel to the evident attempt to work up nubile sentiment against us. probably m-lth a view to forcing us to ask for trial In another Jurisdiction, which we are not disposed to do. We want to go to trial right here, because we be lieve we can get a fair trial oeiore normal lury. and because It Is more convenient to all concerned. "Wildes personal account Is not In any way a factor In this case, as Wilde as agent deposited the proceeds of the bond sale and drew them out. The certificate stubs we consider evidence in our favor. The other documents can neither heln nor hinder, aa they were not presented to us with the bill of particulars and therefore cannot go Into the case. We have everything to lose and nothing to gain by such a thins- as this." Mr. Malarkey exhibited a letter from One. Stlckney. formerly a con vict at the State Penitentiary, now In Seattle, saying that he had talked with W. Cooper Morris In the renltentlary and bad been assured by Morris that he had nromlsa of a full pardon con dttloned on hie giving testimony against Wilde. Wilde's Ageata Biassed. "I am Informed." continued the at torney, that the County Court has al lowed the employing of secret agents hv the prosecution and that a certain detective agency has furnished the men. This looks like that kind of work." -of course. Wilde's agents did thi thing." said Deputy District Attorney Fitigerald. "Who else could? Who know right where to turn to get Just ihu thev wanted? I don t accuse anyone, but there are a good many per sons working on this case for Wilde and It Is probsblo that none of them knows all that the otners are oo- I n " It has been suggested by some In Interest with the prosecution that while the missing personal account of Wilde is not material to the case now- ap- nronchlnic trial. It might be made fatal bit of evidence as o the In dictment returned last week, charging a conversion of 1 11.600. as part of this mnnev. It Is alleged, waa credited to Wilde's personal account. PORTLAND IN FOREGROUND BnlUllne- Statistics for sear Based on Population Show Position. Building construction in San Fran Cisco In 1911 amounted to a total cost of 24.4a,168. as against .19.178.174 In Portland. i resent estimates of the population of the two cities give Port land 230.000 and San Francisco 4o0, 000. In Dolnt of population, therefore, Portland made a much better showing In building activity. San Francisco having nearly twice aa many residents. but spending only eo.000.000 more for construction.

Rapidly the line was augmented until it ex tended through every corridor on the top floor of the building and down the stairs to the third floor.

Th. coutitv started work yesterday at Rocky Point, Multnomah Farm and other parts or tne county, oui mero was but little response to the call for workmen. This, It Is thought, was be cause of the large wage paid by the city and the fact that the county work Is outside the city. Late yesterday afternoon the city ap nllcants who had not been given em ployment tags were sent to the County Courthouse, and It is believed that this morning the county places win an De taken. The County Commissioners are be coming disgusted with, the failure, through the desire not to work on the part of the alleged Indigent, of their efforts to assist the unemployed of the city. Belief Officer Griffin received 75 applications for employment last week and instructed the men. to show up for work yesterday morning. Only 11 did so. Saturday the Commissioners sent la men to unload rock from a barge. Only four reported to the foreman.
