PASO ROBLES HOT SPRINGS,
April 14.-After remaining quietly In
his room for several days as a result
of the recurrence of pain in his left
knee Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans
was taken out today and wheeled TO
the bath house. 1t was the first time
that he had left his room since last
Thursday.
After being given a sulphur bath and
treatment he was taken back to his
room.
There was a marked improvement
in his appearance. His face was less
drawn and in place of t+-S pallor there
was a good, fresh color. Although
still weak, it was evident that he
was stronger than for some days.
Surgeon P. E. Mcdonald, who is al
most in constant attendance upon him,
and DR.. i. E. Phillips, the physician
In charge of the springs. tonight both
expressed their qualification over his
progress the past day or two.
The admiral remarked today that
for the first time since his arrival here
he was really feeling that he was gain
ing strength and getting well.
Receives Phelan

Phelan of San Francisco, chairman of
the fleet reception committee of that
city. and Enrique Grau, the Peruvian
consul at San Francisco, who is the
son of the late Admiral Grau of the
Peruvian navy.
Mr.. Phelan told Admiral Evans that
while San Francisco hoped that he
would be able to bring the fleet through
the Golden Gate as fitting finale to
the great cruise and was eager to re-
ceive him, yet should he not be strong
enough to resume command of his fleet
by that time without danger of retard-
ing his permanent recovery, San Fran
cisco would be ready to give him a
worthy individual reception whenever
he was ready to come there.
Surgeon Mcdonald, In answer to a
question from Mr.. Phelan, caid he
hoped to have the admiral so much
better by the time the fleet arrived
at Monterey that he could resume COM
mand there, but declare 1t depended
solely upon how rapidly he continued
to gain strength.
No member of the admiral's family
will participate in the celebration at
San Diego, but Mrs. Evans and Lieu
tenant Train. Admiral Evans flag
lieutenant, will probably leave here
Sunday night for Los Angeles to par
ticipate in the festivities there.

SIMON HAS BILL
AGAINST THE CITY
ASKS COUNCIL TO REFUND L.
cENsE MONEY AND PAY COSTS
OF RECENT SUIT.

Saul Simon last night introduced a
petition before the city council asking
that tn- unearned portion of his pool
selling license be refunded to him,
that the city pay his fine and court
costs and that it also dig up for his
attorney fee.
Simon took out license from the
city to sell pools in Walla Walla, at 5000
a quarter. Prosecuting Attorney Rupp
questioned the right of the city to au
thorize this form of gambling and
brought suit in the superior court
against Simon and won the suit for the
state. Simon was fined $125 and costs.
AS he was licensed by the city, the
petition recites that he was therefore
protected by the city. For that reason
he asks for the city to make good his
fine, costs and his attorney fees of $50
in addition to the unearned portion of
his license, amounting in all to $31S.32.
The judiciary committee will report on
the matter.
