.With tl:e ending of the war. there
came a period of lapnation which
marked the panning of the old wooden
navy. Evans drifted for a time Into
civil pursuits, although never relln
iuiMng his connection with the serv
le. In fact, as soon as Congress tr.an
lfetej Its purpose to meet the Insistent
demand of Secretaries Chandler and
Whitney for a renovation of the Amer
ican Navy. Evans came back Into the
service and was one of the leading
spirits In planning the rudiments of
what Is nw the American modern
Navy.
It was Evans ho took the little
rilxpAtr-boat lH:phln on a, cruise
around the world to test the structural
strength of this first product of the
Infant steel shipbuilding art of the
I'nltej Mates. He always got the beat
ships and the newest because bis super,
lor officers knew he could be trusted
to handle them safely and develop their
strong and weak points. It happened

dropped In at Valparaiso. Chile, tn Ut.
and found an opportunity to display all
the determination and courage be
possessed. Some of the American sail
ors had been maltreated and murder

duty to demand protection and repara-

Ti e odda against him were gro

the whole Chilean fleet, vet Evana
never faltered, but carried out his pur
pose and sailed away triumphantly
with Ms colors flying and the band
playing the American National air to
tt;e accompaniment of salutes from the
t'Mlenn forts and wemhlps.
A f'w busy yearn emjtaged In duty
on the conitructlon board which planned
t modern battleships and cruis
er ad In several long cruises to try
out t"e result of his bralnwork on
t :e high seas, brought Evana, then a
commander, to the opening of the Spanish-American
War. He wanted a bat

latent product of the American abtp

As a full-fledged Rear-Admiral
Kians was called on to take the At
lantic fleet around the world, and how
he was selected has already been told
bv ex-Secretary Metcalf. 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.
Hi- the time he had reached San Fran-
taco the strain had become eo severe
that he waa unable to leave bla bed.

from the command at that place,

Active duty terminated with Admiral
Kvans at that point. It la true he did
not to on the retired list until a few
months afterward, but never again waa
he called upon to direct the movements
of a ship or a fleet. He retired to his
quaint, old-fashioned home here, and,
surrounded by bis family, spent In hap

life.

execute his long-cherished Idea of tell

tor Hopes to Have Part in It.
CHICAGO, Jan. Z. Asserting that
overcapitalisation of corporations was
the primary causa of the high cost of
living. Senator La Follette, in a speech
marking his first appearance in Illi
nois on his present campaign tour, to
night doelared It was Impossible for
the Government longer not to subject
great money interests to reform.
"I know as much about the trust
side of this question as I know about
the people's side," said Senator La Fol
lette. "I ara not afraid of the blsgest trust
on earth. They cannot strap on tha
people the burden of thla overcapitali
sation which la the cause of the high
cost of living. Overcapitalization has
gone on to the extent that all of the
big business of the country Is on stilts.
We have got to bring it down.
"But It cannot be done In a moment.
If yon took all of the water out of It
at once It would do much harm and
hurt many Innocent people. This prob
lemthe problem of the beef, the har
veater and the steel trusts has to
be worked out scientifically. It will
be worked out scientifically. If I have
anything to do with it. and I expect to
have a good deal to do with it."
It was announced by the Ia Follette
headquarters today that the Wisconsin
Senator bad no intention of withdraw
ing from the race. The statement fol
lows: "The campaign for Senator La Fol
lette'a nomination will continue until

District Attorney Cameron Has So
Light to Shed on Situation De
tectives at Work Xoto Dsn
J. Malarkey Talks.
The mystery as to who burglarized
the offices pf Dletrtct Attorney Cam
eron. In the Chamber of Commerce
building, and A. E. 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." Chief of Police Slover Is also con
ducting an investigation with a view
to determining who was responsible
for the alleged burglarious visits to
offices . occupied by attorneya for the
state.
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."
