Spends the Day Out of Doors
and Is in Excellent Spirits
PASO ROBLES, April 16.— For the
first time In a week Rear Admiral
: Robley D. Evans was given an. outing
today. Not since last Thursday has
.• he been out of the hotel and most of
"the time he remained in his room, ex
cept on one or two days when he was
/wheeled to the • kurhaus connected
;. with the hotel by an inclosed passage-
Vfway for his baths. Today he felt so
i . -mich stronger that his son. Lieutenant
;; Evans, wheeled him about the exten
;«ive hotel grounds.
•' The admiral spent some time on the
Jatvn" watching games of croquet and
tennle, In which he took a lively in
terest. He seemed to be In the best of
spirits and many of the hotel guests
remarked upon the noticeable improve
ment in his appearance since last week.
Admiral Evans sent a message to- :
day to the Los Angeles fleet commit
tee expressing his regret that he was
unable to participate with his officers
and men in the welcome prepared for
them, but that It was the decision of
his physicians. Surgeon P. E. McDon
nald and Dr. L. E. Phillips, that it
would be Inadvisable for him to leave
the springs.
Lieutenant Frank Taylor Evans, who
commands the big turret guns on the
Louisiana, and Lieutenant C. Russell
Train, Admiral Evans* flag officer, will
leave here Sunday night for Los An-;
geles to attend the banquet given In

Melbourne on Way to Manila
WASHINGTON. April 16.— 1t Is
stated at the navy department that the

ing at Auckland on its way around the
world, will in ail probability go first

the whole fleet visiting both places.
After leaving Melbourne the vessels
will sail around Australia and up to
Manila.
Previous announcement that the fleet,
with th« view of saving time, would
be divided- between Sydney and Mel
bourne, caused manifestations of re
gret from the people of those places,
who prefer a shorter visit from the
whole fleet rather i^ian a longer one
from any portion of it.

GRANDSTANDS FOR
VIEWING PARADE
Fleet ; Committee Decides to
Provide for Comfort of
— 30,000 Persons
A move Important to tho comfort of
thousands who will view tbe great
naval and military parade of May 7, the
day after the fleet's arrival, was made
yesterday when the fleet committee
decided for the construction of .two
grandstands along the lino of march
with a seating capacity for 20,000 per
sons. One stand will be erected on
the city library lot, Van -.Nets avenue
between Hayes and Fell streets,"". . the
other on the school lot , at Fifth and
Market streets. \u25a0 r ' '=' .-. ' '?: *
The plan Is along lines suggested by
Chairman James D. Phelan and la
similar to those adopted in other big
cities. Phelan -said that some pro
vision ought to.be made for women
and children, who would "be. put to
much discomfort .if they were obliged
to-stand in line in the streets for two
hours .whlle< the,, procession 'passed.
More than. that it will probably net the
fleet fund a tidy sum, ' although the
financial side of --the project was the
one receiving least consideration.
The committee 'conferred with W. H.
Keyser, who has built stands In other
cities for * eimilar' "occasions. Keyser
said he would charge 91.60 for each
seat, would admit the little children
free and* would give 25 per cent of the
gross receipts to the committee. He
will also stand the expense of build
ing the stands. A* special section will
be reserved furthermore for distin
guished ' guests of the city . who have
come to join In the ' fleet celebration.
A contract will" bo made with Keyser
today.
Another stand will be built for 500
Grand Army men, pioneers and
veterans of the Mexican war. This
will be put up at the expense of the
committee ""- and \ money was appro
priated for that purpose. James D.
Phelan, Frank J. Symmes, Allan Pol
lok, R. B. Hale and I. I. Brown are
the members of the committee who
have the project in hand.

MARYLAND FIRES SALUTE
TO PERUVIAN CRUISER
Navy Tries to Make Amends for
Forgetfulhess of« Army
Post
• The navy, although in no way re
sponsible for the army's delay of 24
hours in acknowledging the salute of
the Peruvian cruiser Almirante Grau,
is doing all in its power to make the
visitor from the south forget the omis
sion. The cruiser Maryland came down
from Mare island yesterday and went
to sea. Under ordinary circumstances
the cruiser would have passed out
through the heads without; paying any
attention to even an admiral on board
a chip lying In the upper bay. Peru,
however, was kind to the navy when
the fleet passed that way, so the Mary
land postponed its departure long
enough to take a cruise up the harbor
to where the Almirante Grau lies at
anchor.
When opposite the Peruvian cruiser
the Maryland fired a salute in honor of
the visitor. It was fired shipshape and
Bristol .fashion and the Peruvian re
plied with a promptness that will prob
ably be equaled by the army next time
a foreign war vessel says "howdy."

OAKLAND PREPARES
FOR TINE PARADE
Greatest Street Pageant in His
tory of City Is Expected
on Fleet, Day - -
OAKLAND, April 16. — Arrangements
for the parade In honor of ; the : fieet
are now practically complete and the
members of the committee in charge
say that the pageant will be the largest
and most spectacular ever held on the
east shore of Ban Franclsoo bay.^Enor
mous crowds of visitors from all parts
of the country are expected. The new
colored pouters symbolizing Oakland's
welcome to the men "\u25a0 of the navy have
been placed in every depot on the west
ern divisions -of ..the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe; railroads, as well as in
all postofflces within a > radius of 200
miles of Oakland. —
Commander C. E. Capehart • of- the
United States training station at Yerba
Buena Island has notified the fleet
committee that the naval cadets under
his charge will participate in the pa
rade if the necessary provision is made
for- their transportation. A special
committee has been appointed to see
that the young Jack tars are properly
cared for. ,
A letter from Adjutant General Lauek
announces that the field,, staff,; non
commissioned staff, band detachment of
the hospital corps and Companies A. C,
F, O. H, I. X, L and M of the Fifth
Infantry have been ordered -.to take
part In the parade. In. addition to the
2,500 men from the Atlantic fleet who
will parade Secretary Metcalf has been
asked to delay the departure of the
Pacifio fleet under Rear Admiral Day
ton from May 9 to # May 11* in order
that 1,000 men from the Pacific fleet
may also parade. " The Odd Fellows
will have a special division of their
own, composed of more ,than 200 men
from the fleet, who are members of the
order. Among the other orders that
will be represented are the U. P. E.
C,,- who will send four companies, with
staff officers and a full band; the Mex T
lean War Veterans; Halcyon parlor,

Spanish War Veterans, have not yet
been heard from. This number does
not include any of the municipal bands
which will be in line.
PLAIN'S GREAT FEAST
The amount of provisions to feed all
the marchers will be enormous. More
than a score of beeves, 500 bulls'
heads, a small flock of sheep, several
wagonloads of bread and an immense
quantity of coffee has already been
contracted for by the entertainment
committee, and it will probably be
necessary to secure more. One hun
dred'and twenty-five waiters have
been employed for the barbecue .on
Adams point, and' as soon as the mu
sic of the first band is heard,, in
Grand avenue they will begin to: serve
the barbecued: meatg^on;: immense, plat

of May 9 In the skating pavilion at
Idora park, and Secretar-" "Tetcalf has
already accepted the invitations ex
tended to . him and his /personal .aid,
Rear Admiral Glass. The illness of
Admiral Evans has made it impossible
for him to send a definite reply to his
invitation as yet, but he expects to be
present Tickets will be placed on sale
at the headquarters of the fleet com
mittee in the Bacon block and at the
offices of the merchants' exchange and
chamber of commerce.
Replies to the .requests sent out by
the committee fort the loan of automo:
biles in which to show the officers of
the fleet about the city have come in
so slowly that additional and more
urgent letters "All be sent out at
once. Only 30 replies have been re
ceived to the 300 requests sent out.

The decoration committee has. de-r
cided to decorate each trolley pole
along 1 the line of the parade about
halfway to the top with evergreens,
and at the top with a cluster of small
Hags. Bunting of various colors will
be hung in festoons across. Broad way
from First to Seventeenth streets,

ing said that Santa Cruz was trying
to. monopolize the fleet at the expense
of Monterey and that the fleet' officers
had no authority to arrange for visit

here. It was charged that Secretary

the letters to that effect are on " file.
On the strength of this and an addi

MAY BUILD. COLLIER HERE
Amendment to Naval Bill to
Give Navy Yard Work
WASHINGTON, April 16.— The naval
bill was yesterday amended so as to
provide that 'one of three new fleet col
liers * authorized be built in a govern
ment yard. Representative Knowland
believes, he says," that if the clause is
retained in the senate this vessel will
be built at Mare island, where one is
already under construction.
The only other federal yard suffi
ciently equipped for this work is at
New York. The vessel will cost $1,
800,000. ; The bill, as amended today,
permits ; the secretary of the navy to
have such of the eight authorized sub
marine vessels as he sees fit construct
ed in; a. Pacific coast yard.
WILL THWART PRESIDENT
Congress Leaders Notify Him
of i Laws That Will Not Pass
WASHINGTON, April 16.— The lead
ers > of /congress have notined the
president that several laws which he
desires to have enacted at this ses
sion*, will not be put through. A re
capitulation shows .that when the ses
sion ends congress will probably have
failed .to;: pass many of the most im
portant measures recommended by the
president. They are as follows:
a R«strletlng . the . power of the federal court* la
the Issuance of injunction* In laboring disputes;
amending the Sherman anti-trust law so as to es
tablish a system of federal license for interstate
corporations: to enable the t railroads to form
traffic associations so as to secure greater sta
bility of _ rates . and returns; to remove some of
the -restrictions from combinations nnd labor; to
prohibit the railroads from blacklisting union em
ployes; '',' em powering 'the "interstate "commerce
commission to control future issues of stocks and
bonds of property; to. permit the attor
ney general ..to name one , of I the receivers ap
pointed for lnsolrent S railroads; to remove ! the
duty on -wood i>ulp; to provide for the construc
tion of four battleships instead of two; to estab
