ADMIRAL EVANS IS THANKFUL.
Telegraphs Appreciation to President
for Interest in Son's Behalf.
In a personal telegram which was forwarded to Washington yesterday, Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans and wife thanked President Roosevelt for his efforts in behalf of their son, Lieutenant Frank Evans, whose court-martial sentence for misconduct in the Philippines last year was reduced from a loss of 150 numbers and a reprimand to a loss of fifty numbers and a reprimand. The aged parents of the young officer heard of the modification of their son's sentence at the Hotel Baltimore yesterday morning and were overjoyed.
Admiral Evans and his wife departed yesterday afternoon for Joplin, where the admiral lectured last night.
