PASO ROBLES HOT SPRINGS
April 9.--Mrs. Robley d. Evans and
her daughter Mrs. Charlotte C. Marsh
arrived here shortly after o o'clock this
afternoon and Joined Rear Admiral
Evans at the hot springs. Their COM
ing cheered the admiral greatly, and
it is believed, will have a good effect.
Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Marsh were
accompanied by Lieut. F. L. Evans,
who went to Los Angeles to meet them.
The party arrived on a private car
and were escorted by Mayor A. c.
Harper of Los Angeles, Brig. Gen.
Robert Wankowski of the National
guard of California, detailed by Adjt.
Gen. Lauck: ]. B. Neville, vice presi
dent of the Los Angeles Stock ex-
change, who is a cousin of Mrs. Evans,
and j. B. Scott, prominent attorney.
Mayor Harper and his party returned
to Los Angeles tonight.
Surgeon Has Free Hand
DIR. p. e. Mcdonald, surgeon on the
Connecticut who is in charge of Ad-
miral Evans, has been given a free
hand by the department in Washing
ton to call other physicians in consulta-
ton upon the sick admirafs case.
Lieut.. Col. Geo. H. Torney depart
San Francisco. who is a personal friend
of Admiral Evans, was here last Sun :
day and made thorough examination
of him. He agreed with DR.. Nc
Donald that the proper course of treat
ment was being followed. DR.. Torney
will come to the hot springs again to-
morrow or Saturday for the purpose of
seeing Admiral Evans.
Now that the admiraPs rheumatism
has been greatly relieved by the treat
ments here the efforts of the ply
sicians will be directed toward build
ing up his strength
Lieut.. Evans tonight vehemently de-
nounced as untrue the statements pub
lished that Admiral Evans was in
jured yesterday while being wheeled
by his attendant.
VIII BE in Los Angeles
That the admiral will go to Los An
geles to participate in the festivities
there was the statement made tonight
by Mayor Harper and Col. Neville.
Mayor Harper said: Mrs Evans has
told us she believed that the admiral
will be able to go to Los Angeles. She
stated that while he was more
emaciated than she had ever seen him
before she did not think his condition
was as bad as had been reported.
Admiral Evans will leave the hot
springs in private car MONDAY, Ine
Goth. He will be taken to the banquet
that evening in wheel chair for about
ten or fifteen minues, so that people
can see him, and the following morning
will also start in the automobile
parade, though it is not likely that he
will be strong enough to more than go
through the business portion of the
city"
COL Nevilles statement as to what
Mrs. Evans said differed somewhat
from that of Mr.. Harper.
Has Seen Him Worse
Mrs. Evans tells me that she. has
seen the admiral worse many times
and that she found him in better
condition than she expected to-" said
he. 1--WE don't want you newspaper
men to send out that he is so bad that
he cannot come to the festivities IN
Los Angeles. 1t is not true. l will
that he will be at the BAN
ouet for at least ten minutes on the
20th, and that he will at least make a
start in the automobile parade the
following morning so that everybody
can see him.
If admiral Evans undertakes to go
to Los Angeles and participate in the
festivities there 1t will be strongly
against the advice of his physicians,
who assert that it will be most inn
prudent and that they cannot be an
swerable for the consequences.
