FRAZIER IS BETTER
NOW RELIEVED TO HAVE GOOD
 CHANGE TO RECOVER.
His Fever Seems to Have Disappeared and He Feels ImprOved-Phy- sfctanS Are Now Hopeful of
 His Recovery.

Physicians attending Frank Frazier. who was shot by Will West last last more hopeful regarding the condition of the wounded man yesterday than at any time since the tragedy occurred.
 Reports from the bedside yesterday now an excellent chance for recov- cry. As this is the first time the physicians have ever expressed any hope that Frazier might ultimately get well. the statement Is considered sig Bificant
 The change for the better in the condition of the badly wounded man Is perhaps due, to a certain extent, to the cooler weather. as Frazier has been feverish ever since he was taken to St. Margarat's Hospital, and -at- tendants have been constantly called upon to fan him and to bathe his face with cold water.
 His temperature was about normal yesterday. and he expressed himself as feeling considerably better.
 Miss Mary Ella Bailey. the fiance of the wounded man, is still in Mont gomery. doing all she can to allevi- ate his sufferings.

Why has the meeting passed reso-

Davis. IF the league gives vote of
thanks to Phelan. why doesn't it vote
for Calhoun as well?
Gentlemen. this is not an executive
session. reminded Walter Macarthur.
This league is going to defeat its own
purpose if its members engage in
heated arguments like these. You arc

All the wrangling started over this

in the report dealing with the carmen s

platform men had walked out
Macarthur objected to this declara-
ton and said that it was i'll advised.
Il understand that an effort is to be
made to bring the United Railroads and
the carmen's union together again,
said Macarthur. The publication OF
We should not do anything calculated
to increase the rupture between the
carmen and the company"
Tracy said that, speaking as a labor
man, he was aware that Cornelius and
the carmen's union would register de-
NAL of the committees report so far
as it purported to reflect what took
place before the strike.
Macarthur ended what might have
been an interminable discussion by
suggesting that the committee recon-
slider the report. This was DONE and
the report as adopted briefly mentioned
that the committee was unable to do
anything in the way of bringing about
settlement of the carmen's strike.
Virtually the same comment was passed
on the edited comment relating to the
strike of the telephone operators.
The league adopted a constitution
and bylaws and was intrusted by the

PASSENGERS MADE ILL
BY YOKOHAMA BERRIES

1t was strawberry season when the
liner Korea was at Yokohama and all
the passengers who partook of the
fruit at the Japanese port were sorry
for il. The strawberries. il developed
shortly after the liner sailed. were all
infected with poison. and DIT. Duke.
the surgeon, was soon in big demand.
All who had partaken of the lus-
cious berries were seized with fearful
cramps and long before all those af-
fected had been heard from Dr. Dukes
supply of alleviatTng drugs had run
short. Fortunately for the sufferers.
DR.. J. s. Sharpe. who had gone to the
orient as surgeon of the DreXel yacht
Alcedo, was a passenger on the Korea.
and had with him a large supply Of
drugs from the Alcedo's medicine
chest In addition to placing his drugs
at the disposal of the liner. DR..
Sharpe pitched in and helped to adj
minister to the sick
1t was several days before the effects
of the poison had been counteracted.
Among the victims was Barbour
Lathrop. But few of the zoo cabin
passengers escaped.
The filthy methods OF the japanese
agriculturists are said 20 have been
responsible for the condition of the
fruit. and it will be long time before
any of the Korea victims will ever
again tackle strawberries.
