By Associated Press.

PASO ROBLES HOT SPRINGS,
April 24-Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans is not the same man who ar
rived at Paso Robes hot springs a
little more than three weeks ago.
The pale, thin face, marked by lines
of suffering, and the weakened frame
have been changed wonderfully by but
few days of restful quiet and careful
treatment. The progress made during
the last five days, especially, is so
marked those who saw the old warrior
when he arrived at the hot springs are
astounded.
81 am much pleased at the way
things are going" said Surgeon Nc
Donald this morning
'The treatment here at Paso Robles
hot springs has done much for Ad-
miral Evans. The acute pains are en-
tirely gone Every other day the adj
miral is taken to the bath house and
given treatment, consisting of a warm
sulphur bath, followed by massage and
Swedish and resistance movements. On
alternate days massage and resistance
movements are given in the room by
the skilled attendants from the Kur-
haus. Mud packs have also been
given.

OPPOSE GRANTING
RIVER FRANCHISE
COUNCILMEN WANT CITY TO
GET PERCENTAGE
Promoters Offer Nothing to City for
the Privilege Except Allowing
Other Lines to Use
Tracks

Councilmen who oppose granting any
river bed franchise are mastering
their forces for the coming council
committee of the whole meeting when
the proposed plan of the Los Angeles
Harbor Railroad company to get a
free forty-foot strip will be discussed
Opponents of the measure say the
only fee which the company proposes
to give the city for the use of this
valuable franchise is to permit other
lines to utilize the tracks.
The opposition wants to see distinct
percentage of gross earnings named,
a provision that at no time can the
franchise be sold and that the city
must be paid for the land used in the
right of way.
Councilman Bernard Healy is looked
upon as leading the fight on the dis
posal of river bed privileges
The hearing is being put off as long
as possible in the hope that a general
discussion of the subject may follow
1t is current talk that Gould inter-
ests are back of the plan to acquire
this valuable inlet to the city over
municipal lands.

and congregated on the hill to gaze at
the magnificent spectacle. The Ca
brillo made a trip around the break
water, carrying a record crowd. and
all the smaller craft also did a big
business, as they did all day.
Aside from the illumination, however,
the Zig event of the program yester-
day was tho cutters contest, for de-
spite the ease with which the Louis
lana outdistanced the other boats, 1t
was enjoyed immensely.
Rover Loses Oars
-Yhen the word passed down the
long line of spectators that one of the
oarsmen of the Vermont had lost his
oars the crowd expected to see one of
the boatmen leap from his seat over
board, as is done in eastern contests
in order not to overload the boat with
a useless weight, but instead of this
it was seen that the oarsman re-
manned in his seat, swaying his body
to and fro with the motion of the 9TH
ers to facilitate their progress.
Aside from the amusement and ex-
hiliaration afforded by these naval
boat races the contests are of ines
timable value to the men of the bat
tleships in time of war. Repeated con-
tests enable the men to become expert
oarSmen and seamen, such as are fire.
quently essential in emergencies where
gasoline launches cannot be used. High
officials of the navy have encouraged
the racing events as much as possi-
BILE In the hope that before long every
warship In the two fleets will contain
a crew of from twenty-six to fifty-two
of the most expert seamen--a Valua-
BILE asset to every war vessel and
something that most foreign navies
now demand.
A big dance at Point Firmin last
night which was attended by many
couples, including not few sailors
whose shore leave did not expire un-
til midnight, concluded the farewell
program to the fleet at San Pedro, and
marked the closing of one of the most
Joyous and prosperous weeks which
this embryo Liverpool has ever known:
There were not a few tear-dimmed
eyes when the final good-bys were said,
and girls and sailors who had known
each other but a week, yet undoubted-
ly had become attached, parted from
each other almost as abruptly as they
had met-perhaps for all time.

Issues Manifesto
The last manifesto of the director
general is characteristic of the local
"FIghting Bob" and shows his origin
ality and persistent endeavor. 1t is as
follows:
'"The Atlantic fleet has won two de-
cisive battles in the south. Landing
at San Diego and Los Angeles it
caught them hopelessly unprepared
and captured everything in sight. But
we must do battle and fight to the last
rosebush. Let the message that ADJ
miral Tom sends back to Washing
ton read: We came, we saw, we were
captivated.'
"It is to be battle between $1,000
good fellows and 16,000,000 rose gera-
NUNS. We must overwhelm them be-
fore they find their land legs.
1--WE seem to be the only defenders
along the coast who are putting up any
kind of a fight. The engagements
south Of here have been so one-sided
that the accounts read like an enter
tainment by the fleet rather than for
it. We must do better than this. Let
us stand by our colors and not until
the last Jack Tar disappears beneath
the deluge of daffodils must we cease
the bombardment.
1--WE enjoy many strategic advan-
tages for we are Turing them to bat
tleground of our own choosing. The
fortifications are complete, the mines
