MISSION WELCOMES TARs
Entertains Seamen With Con-
cert and Arranges Auto Ride

Most of the sailors who received
shore leave last night did not venture
farther than the downtown streets, but
the small detachment that travelled as
far as the Mission received a welcome
that will cause the district to be in
vaded by the visitors when the tale of
hospitality is told on shipboard. James
Rolfe Jr. has been delegated as a COM
mittee of one by the Mission improve
ment association TO receive the guests.
The sailors who arrived in the Mission
last night were at once taken in charge
by citizens and it was not long before
they knew the district as well as the
Oldest inhabitant.
The first point sought was the sta
tion square at the corner OF Twenty
fifth and Valencia streets, where the
band provided by the Mission improve
consisting chiefly of patriotic and mar
tial airs. A squad of sailors arrived
during the concert and they were Wig
orously cheered by the crowd.
Rolfe has arranged for an automo-
bile ride through the Mission for the
enlisted men and at that time they will
be more formally received The route
of the ride will be up Mission to
Twenty-fourth, up Twenty-fourth to
Valencia. down Valencia to Sixteenth,
and finally scattering over the dis
trict at the pleasure OF the guests
Mission street was brilliantly lighted
last night and the sidewalks were
crowded until a late hour by a throng
of pleasure seekers The band, which
will play every afternoon and night
while the fleet is here, was the favor
ite attraction.

WANT MISSOURI WORK
Workmen at Mare Island Navy
Yard to Make Casting
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI

VALLEJO, May Much interest is
shown by the workmen of the navy
yard in the casting OF the new high
pressure cylinder for the battleship
Missouri by the steam engineering de-
partment which is TO be undertaken
upon receipt of the pattern
expected daily by express from the
east. Every. one here is extremely
anxious that the vessel be ordered to
the yard for the necessary repairs, it
being understood that her boiler tubes
also will require attention. Tie COM
mandant is of the opinion that she
should come to the yard and now that
Secretary Metcalf is on the coast 1t is
hoped that he will issue the necessary
orders, thus forever setting at rest the
claims of the enemies of Mare island
that battleship could not reach the
navy yard. 1t hardly seems fair to
the workmen of the yard that they
should be called upon to make such a
large and difficult casting, only to be
sent TO San Francisco for some private
shipyard to install.

SISTERS OF BACON
DECRY HIS ACTION
Demurrer TO Second Amended
Complaint Attacks Suit for
SlO,lSS Damages

F OAKLAND. May THE second
amended complaint of Frank P. Bacon
against his sisters, Mrs. Ella Eta B.
Soule and Miss Carrie ]. Bacon, to re-
cover sI61ss damages for the alleged
riding OF their. fathers mansion at
Ninth and Oak streets. after two for
mer complaints had been rejected as
faulty by superior judges. has been at
tackled on lines similar to those adopted
in the former action in behalf of the
defendants. in demurrer filed today
They alleged that his complaint was
indefinite and did not clearly state
how. as directors, of a corporation
formed from the fathers estate, they
had acted illegally when they sold fur
niture andas fixtures from, the house.
then under control of the directorate.
Various technical points. were urged
against the complaint and the objec-
tions were accompanied by a motion to
strike out much alleged irrelevant mat
ter and also a petition to have the
court order that the complaint be made
definite and final
Bacon's action against his sisters has
been denounced by them as malicious
prosecution and they point to the fate
of two earlier attempts to have the SUI
perior court take cognfzance of his al
legged grievances as a criterion of their
actual merit.

EVANS LOVES CHILDREN
Admiral Gives Kindly Exhibi-
tion After the Parade

Admiral Evans gave kindly exhibit
tion of his love for children yesterday
afternoon Just at the close of the big
parade. After he left the line of march
he drove slowly toward his hotel and
passing down Ellis street his atten-
tion was attracted by a collection Of
little ones who had come down TO see
the feet in an excursion from Reno.
New. AS she spied the admiral one of
the little girls cried, 'Oh, I'm going to
shake hands with Admiral Evans" and
she ran into the street and extended
her tiny palm into the carriage. The
admiral called TO the driver stop
and shook the patriotic little miss
heartily by the hand and patted her on
the head.
At sight OF the attentions being
showered upon their companion the
score Of children on the sidewalk
rushed toward the admiral and fairly
surrounded the vehicle. Taking a
large bunch of carnations which had
been presented TO him during the pa
rade the admiral pulled several blosm-
SONS from the cluster and tossed them
among the group. Then he drove on.
while 20 young hearts beat in happier
rhythm.
