. ARRIVAL OF PACIFIC FLEET
' TO BE BIG EVENT IN COAST CITIES
Itinerary of the Great Sea Fighting Force, and
Something as to the Personality of the Man
Who Holds the Important Command
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Outside of war and
peace, no event of recent years has
received the attention which Pacific
coast cities will give to the visit of
the new Pacific fleet.
Scheduled to arrive at San Diego
early this morning, the fleet then
is to proceed to Los Angeles harbor,
San Francisco and Puget sound, and
thence to Honolulu, where, during the
presence of the fleet, the great Pearl
Harbor drydock will be officially
opened.
, Everywhere the fleet is to stop am
bitious receptions are being planned to
eclipse any similar event in Pacific
^ coast history. At San Francisco Presi
dent Wilson is expected to greet the
fleet on his tour of the country in be
half of the League of Nations. Presi
dent Wilson, if nothing interferes with
his itinerary, will review the fleet in
San Francisco bay or just off the
Golden Gate. This, naval men say,
will be the greatest naval pageant
ever witnessed in waters of the Pacific
ocean.
In every city the fleet is to visit
committees to arrange for its wel
come have been named. Parades will
be held in every city visited, it is said.
In most places it is planned to make
at least one day of the fleet’s stay a
legal holiday. From the inland cities
and towns thousands of persons are
expected to make their way to the
coast cities and aid in extending wel
come.
Tt is planned to otudo the memor
able receptions which attended the
visit of the Atlantic fleet to the Pa
cific coast in 1908, during its famous
trip around the world.
At San Diego a great aerial display
| in connection with the fleet will be
held. There many airplanes will fly
out in welcome with navy airplanes.
4 At San Francisco airplanes are expect
* ed to come from Mather field, at Sac
ramento, to aid in the celebration.
Commander of the Fleet
When Admiral Hugh Rodman first
came to the Pacific coast, years ago,
as a junior officer, soon after his grad
uation from Annapolis, he acquired
the sobriquet of “Rough House” from
men and officers of the navy.
Returning now at the head of half
the American navy, he brings a dec
oration from the king of England
which in that country would cause
him to be addressed as “Sir Hugh,”
as a knight commander of the Order
of St. Michael and St. George.
Admiral Rodman, throughout his na
val career, has been noted as a discip
linarian. “He got things done,” in
the words of the navy. Direct meth
ods of getting things done earned the
title of “Rough House,” bestowed in
jr affection by his men and brother of
ficers when he was young. Years later
the same qualities brought him distinc
tion from the British ruler when Rod
man was commander of the Sixth bat
tle squadron of the Grand fleet during
the war with Germany.

on Admiral Rodman was similar to the
distinction given Admiral William
Sims by the British king at the same
time, but neither officer could accept
because American regulations did not
permit members of the military or na
val establishments accepting decora
tions from foreign nations. Later ac
ceptances were allowed.
Among naval men Rodman is noted
as a “mixer” when off duty, but on
duty he is credited with allowing noth
ing to interfere with the performance
of the task before him. He is without
affectation, and is declared to dislike
being called “Sir Hugh” as un-Ameri
can, and to prefer the compliment ex
pressed in “Rough House.” However,
to his face he is not now called “Rough
House,” although to men under him
that is the usual manner, together
with “the old man,” in which his per
sonality is referred to, according to
those who have served under him.
FORTUNETOBE
DEVOTED TO
i
LOS ANGELES, Aug 6 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A Greek theater, a
hall of science and an observatory
will be built in Griffith park here and
given to the city as the result of be
quests in the will of the late Grif
fith J. Griffith, which was filed recent
ly for probate.
Several years ago Colonel Griffith
gave to the city a tract of several
thousand acres in the northwestern
section of the city, skirting Holly
j wood and located in the foothills, for
j a public play ground. The park was
I named in his honor and later he spent
| large sums in building roads, instal
i ling a zoo and making other improve
| ments.
i At least $100,000 will be spent in
the construction of the theater, the
will reciting that the deceased “de
sires that the plans I have perfected
during my lifetime for such a struc
ture and commonly known as the
‘health plan’ be used as a basis for
the theater as nearly as possible.”
Colonel Griffith suggests that the the
ater be built in Vermont canyon, one
of the canyons running through the
park.
The document continues to the ef
fect that the remainder of the trust
fund, totalling almost $1,000,000, is to
be devoted to the Hall of Science and
the observatory which is to be locat
ed on the summit of Mt. Hollywood,
a mountain peak rising out of the
park.
Tn the Hall of Science and the ob
servatory, according to the will, is to
be placed a collection of scientific in
struments. The will provides that
these buildings be available to the
public, and that a motion picture the
ater be constructed in the Hall of
Science. In the observatory the will
provides, a twelve-inch telescope is
to be installed, the codicils of the will
bequeathing these improvements con
cluding:
“When my efforts are fully known
they will show the fixed purpose to
direct and aid the cancentration of
thought which lifts one above envi
ronment. I am anxious to have these
improvements instructive and attrac
tive, fully believing that thereby
many people can then be lifted out of
the trenches of ignorance and super
stition and placed on a higher plane
of intelligence.”
