TORPEDO BOATS
ARE DUE TODAY
FL0TlLLA WILL ANCHOR AT
SAN PEDRO
TO BE ENTERTAINED ROYALTY
SATURDAY
Automobiles Wanted for Trips with
Officers and Sailors - Only
Twenty-four Officers
on FlotiIla

without the awing majesty of the
Atlantic fleet of battleships but with
the same spirit and purpose, the fiotilla
of torpedo boats will enter San Pedro
harbor this afternoon. They will nestle
UP to the breakwater and cast their
anchors in safe holding and remain
until Sunday.
The fiotilla includes the six torpedo
boats attached to the fleet and the sup
ply ship Arethusa. 1t is commanded
by Lieutenant III. I. Cone and his flag
ship is the Whipple. In all there are
only twenty-four commissioned officers
on the whole fiotilia and only little
over 400 men man the fleet. The other
ships are the Truxtun, Lawrence, Hop
kins, Hull and Stewart. All are COM
manded by lieutenants.
The coming of the mosquito" fleet
was eagerly expected by the fleet COM
mittee, because this fiotilla has had a
perilous time getting around the Horn
on its 14.0O0 mile Journey The boats
are small but stanch. and their sea-
worthiness has been demonstrated be-
fore, especially when Lieutenant Chan
dler took q fleet of four from Hamp-
ton Roads to Manila in 1908 without
accident They are the defenders of
the battleships, and without them in
time of war the big floating fortresses
would be easy prey to the torpedo
boats that could get close to them.
Their business is to see that torpedo
boats of the enemy cannot come with
in effective distance.
At meeting of the fleet committee
at the M. and M. rooms yesterday it
was decided to extend the hospitality
of the city to the officers and enlisted
men. There was uncertainty about the
manner of each that could have shore
leave, but Mayor Harper received a
telegram from Lieutenant Cone last
night saying taht sixteen officers and
$50 men would come ashore Saturday.
This represents about one-third OF the
total crew.
Automobiles Wanted
The program for the officers will in
clude an automobile ride Saturday
morning, a luncheon at the Jonathan
club, a visit to the flower show at
HOLLYWOOD in the afternoon and a
night entertainment at the Orpheum.
For the enlisted men Admiral Mot
Flint has arranged an auto trip in the
morning a luncheon at Levy's, a party
at the Orpheum in the afternoon and
free entertainment at Chutes park in
the evening.
In order to make the auto trips a
success the committee is calling on
the owners of machines to lend their
cars and their own services or their
chauffeurs' just as they did with the
officers and enlisted men of the fleet.
The little fleet. while scheduled far be-
hind the festivities and almost forgot
ten in them, is Just as important in it's
way as the big ships, and the sailors
Just as much entertainment. Conse-
quently the committee asks that every
one who can possibly spare his car
will telephone TO Frank Virgins, at
the chamber Of commerce, as early as
possible so that full arrangements may
be made. 1t is the purpose to start
