Defendants in Alaskan Land Fraud
Case Acquitted

Chicago, April 15.-Albert G. Frost,
former president of the Alaska Gen.
tral Railroad company, declared that
he would not push the completion of
the road through Alaska, though he
was acquitted by jury before Unit
ed States Judge Lands on the charge

"The road will not be completed -

POPE'S CONDITION
NOT so ALARMING
Fever Disappears and Physi.
clans Are Hopeful.

Rome, April 15.-Professor Ettor
Marchiafava, on leaving the pope's
apartment after examining him, said:
"T now trust that the pope's illness
will have a favorable solution, if it
is possible to induce the patient to
take proper care of himself"
The pope's temperature decreased
to SO degrees. The disappearance of
fever Is interpreted as a sign that
there is no more fear of pneumonia.
The improvement is considerd most
encouraging. The night was the sew
enth since the first relapse suffered
by the pope and the grayest anxiety
had been caused by his increasing
weakness and malnutrition.
1t now appears that the attack of
coughing suffered by the pope greatly
relieved the pontiff and enabled him
TO obtain long and restful sleep.
Rome had been thrown into depres-
sion at the announcement of this at
tack and many thought the pope had
reached the last extremity, until Car
dinal Merry del Val reassured them
