GUESTS OF EVANS
st. Francis Attendants Who
Won AdmiraI's Heart Enjoy
Special Privileges

Among the happiest visitors to the
feet yesterday was a party of at
taches Of the st. Francis hotel. They
were the personal guests of Rear Ad-
miraI Evans, although that great and
popular man was speeding many miles
away from the city, journeying to his
home in Washington.
They boarded the Connecticut early
in the morning. Mrs. Ruth Scanlin
was the head of the party. Her kindly
Offices to the admiral in his sickness
were deeply appreciated. and the ap-
preciative admiral had written a direct
order to the commander of the Con-
necticut while it was still his flagship
and his two starred emblem was float
ing at the topmast.
The order read: Please permit Mrs
Ruth Scanlin and party to inspect the
fleet whenever they desire"
1t was signed. Rear Admiral Rob
ley D. Evans, Commander of the At
lantic Fleet"
To those who waited on him during
his sojourn at the ST. Francis Admiral
Evans is more than a great naval hero.
He has enshrined himself in their
hearts by his serenity and patience
under suffering and his gentle appre-
citation of all that was done to make
him comfortable.
So yesterday the group of maids and
belIboys who had attended him were
received aboard the Connecticut and,
