That brilliant achievement, the first world cruise of an armored fleet of that else and power, fully tested Admiral Evans' ability as an organiser and a' commander. All the public knew waa that 1 battle ships had made a IJ.OOO-mlle cruise: they could not Imagine what that meant to the di -ev-ting mind of the fleet, of the many hours of anxiety In poring over cbarte of harbors and rfa, of planning for supplies of fuel und food and of keeping together In inntented and happy mood the thou .ind4 of men who made, up the crews.

Clark, special prosecutor, tn the Teon building, and purloined evidence purported to be of value to the state in proving a crimi nal charge against Louis J. Wilde, Is still unsolved. John B. Yeon, owner of the Yean building, yesterday declared emphati cally that Mr. Clark'a office had not been broken Into from the outside and Pan J. Malarkey. chief counsel for Wilde, who has offices in the same building, demonstratedon the entrance door of his own office, which Is equipped with a lock similar to that on the door leading Into Mr. Clark'e offices, to show the physical Impossi bility of gaining entrance in the man ner asserted. Attorney Clark says that the ob ject of the burglar who entered hla office was evidently to secure affl davita proving that detectives have been employed to get. by legitimate or Illegitimate means, something "on" him with a view to forctng him to cease his connection with those delving into the history of the wrecked Oregon Pavings A Trust Bank. He declares that they secured some of thess sworn statements from hla desk, but that the majority were locked in his safe and are still there. Arrests Exaeeted Sooa. District Attorney Cameron had no new light to shed on the ase beyond Intimating that he has detectives st work on the esse and that he expects arrests In a day or two. The same statement was made by Sir. Clark, who also said: "The nlghtwatchman informs me that Attorney Will R. King and his partner. Mr. Saxton; Mr. Bowerman and a man whose description answers that of a detective, we believe to be In the employ of Wilde, and two other men. one from the third floor and one, I believe, from the fifth floor, left the Teon building after I did the night when the burglary occurred. I left after 11 o'clock. I do not make charges against any person in par ticular."

Daa Malarkey Talks. Speaking -about the matter Mr. Ma larkey aald: ' "The only effect of the alleged steal ing of the documentary evidonca will be to permit the prosecution to intro duce at the trial copies or other sec ondary evidence thereof, together with evidence of the stealing of the origi nals, which latter evidence would In Itself be highly prejudicial to Mr. Wilde. Mr. Wilde and his attorneys are certainly entitled, at the hands of the public, to the presumption that they are possessed of ordinary com mon sense. "The motive of seeing or learning the nature of the alleged evidence must be eliminated In view of the fact that Judge Gatens some weeks ago or dered the prosecution to exhibit and allow the defense to make copies of all documentary evidence and the further fact that, under such order, the prose cution did on December IS exhibit to the defendant'a attorneya and permit them to make eopiea of all the docu mentary evidence on which It relies in this case. Under that order and that exhibition the prosecution cxyjM not Introduce any other documentary" evi dence than what waa so exhibited to and copied by the defendant's attor nevs. "Mr. Wilde has been threatened with this prosecution ror over two years and It Is only fair to him to presume that If he would undertake such des perate methods as are now charged to him he would not have waited un til the eve of his trial to resort thereto."
