the streets of Pasadena yesterday at the

Rodger's flight "was the unique feat

height of 4000 feet and from this point
flew back and fourth across the city
while the parade was passing beneath
him, .He had thousands of carnations
tied to the aeroplane, and from time to

few at a time so that a literal shower
pf , perfumed blossoms rained down 'Up

and fought good naturedly for these

maae sometime after midnight, after
the elevator stopped running.
Entrance to the office of Attorn. a..
F. Clark on the twelfth floor of the
Teon building was made by prying off
the brass plate which covers th lock
and -thus getting access to the lock.
This door opened Into a reception halL
Entrance was mined to Clark's nrl-
vate office by springing the lock. The
drawers in Clark's mahogany desk were
opened by prying loose the look. There
were taken a list of the witnesses the
proseoutlon had for the Wilde case,
memoranda of the cause and a .J2-caU-
ber revolver. . .
Documents Immaterial.
Attorney Dan J. Malrkv in.
counsel for Wilde, said:
last week the defense was nnnti.
catty- aecused -of- 1urytampering," and
this week it Is practically . accused of
burglary. However, I wish to say that
the defense had nothing to do In the
alleged burglary and theft. That state
ment cannot be made too emphatic.
"In the first Dlace. it la InmnuinM.
that Mr. Wilde or anyone connected with
the defense would do such a thing on
the eve of the trial. To do such a thing
would injure Jlr. Wilde more than any
thing else. .
"In the second place, from what I
can learn, the documents taken are im
material to the case, would be the least
injurious- to the defense, and possibly
would not be evidence If at hand.
"In the third place, the defense has
copies of all the evldeno
ttiota proposes to use. These conies were
given us by an order from the circuit
court Why should the defense or any
one Interested on our side wish to
break Into a room and steal what we
already haveT
"I want to say further that If the
prosecution has lost any evidence It
wishes to use In the trial, we will con
sent to the use of our copies, which
were given us by the prosecution. Thes
copies were caref ully gone over, and
are purported to be all the evidence in
the case. On the day I received them
I again checked them With Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Collier, and have his sig
nature to the fact that they are all the

to break in and steal that 'which it has
already in Its possession T Vf;"" '
Points to Prosecution, Says lttalarkey.
"The first ' Impulse . of many ? Is to
charge the defense with doing such an
act as baa been committed. . I stated
the defense had nothing to do with It,
for we would have no motive In such
an act. I will say that It. looks to me
like one of the tricks,, acts or manipu
lations of the prosecution. The per
sons back of the prosecution were hard
pressed for material tor a good - case,
and the happenings from that side dur
ing the last, several weeks plainly sub
stantiate ray contention that It la a
case, of -persecution Instead of prosecu
tion. This act looks to me like the
culmination , of the many petty, things
the - office- of , District Attorney Cam
eron has , sanctioned.' r I; cannot ' con
ceive any other solution." .

This ooDuiar store.; The Golden Eaele, Third and Yamhill, Is
perhaps one of the best-known houses, in the city, for it haa always
carried a staple line of-Men's and Women's, Boys' and Girls' Wear
ing Apparel. For years this house, has been known '-as the store
where you could buy anything that coula be found in the best de
partment stores of theity, and no doubt this piece of news will sur
prise many of the old customers.-
But the proprietors bought right up to the notch, stocking up
heavily with Fall and Winter goods, thinking day by day that by
having such a large stock of. merchandise and by putting up a hard
fight for business they could make it go. But backward'' condi
tions and having too large a stock for the location has left them
short of funds. Seeing that only a short time was left for them,
and that the creditors must have their money, the keys have been
turned over and an appraiser has been appointed, WITH ORDERS
TO DISPOSK OF THIS STOCK AND FIXTURES.
For the benefit of those who-are not acquainted with this store,
they will find everything for men the very best in Men's and
Bovs' Suits. Overcoats. Hats, Shoes. Shirts, Underwear, etc, For
women and children, the best of Cloaks and Suits, Underwear, Mll-
inery, Waists, Skirts and everything carried by any department
store. Every article in this store is bought irom tne leading houses
kf the East and will be tound to be the very best on the market.
Discriminatinc: "buyers will not be disappointed In looking these
goods over, for this fine stock of merchandise (fixtures Included)
will be out on sale and must be sold. Nothing will be held back.
The doors have been closed since last Saturday. Stock will be ar
ranged m the next day or so, and the entire stock, amounting to
about $150,000, will be put on sale. -

To the mind pf President George Hoyt
or tne Rose Festival association, the!
prise is a proof of the messages that
have been com in r to him from far nt
near to the effect that the Rose Festl-'
vat, parades are without a peer In
beauty and artistry in the United
States. The Information as to the win
ning of Ihe prize was oonveyed In tele-
.. gram sent -- by Manager George I
Uutchln of the Rose Festival from
. Pasadena and reads:
. "The Portland Rose Festival over all
for the finest float The trophy is a
costly and beautiful epergne."
The float furnished by the Rose Fes-
, tlval for the Pasadena parade was a
huge ornamental basket filled with
natural roses obtained this time of
year in the California city. Peacocks
apparently drawing the baskets were
driven by cupids. The effect is said to
have been as unusual as it was beauti
ful and entirely characteristic of the
itoee city.
