Rome, April 9.-Pope Plus X has
suffered relapse, and as Is usual in
relapses his condition is considered
graver than that occasioned by his ill
ness of last month The present at
tack began with a fainting fit, and
Prof Marchiafava, the papal physician
was summoned late Monday night. He
visited the pontiff again early yester-
day morning and several times during
the day. The official statement given
out at the Vatican simply says. "The
pope is suffering from relapse OF the
influenza" The Osservatore Romano,
the Vatican organ, published the fol-
lowing official statement last evening"
"Since yesterday evening the holy IA
Their has been indisposed with re-
lapse of influenza, His condition is
causing no anxiety, but he requires
much rest.
The truth of the matter Is that the
pope's relapse is causing great anxiety
because 1t was not expected and for
the further reason that at his advanc-
ed age there is the ever-present dam
ger of his being unable to Withstand
the drain on his strength. During his
recent illness the pope was much de-
pressed. but as he regained his health
this distressing symptom disappeared.
With the return of the influenza, de-
preston is one of the symptoms that
has again been manifested.

Boston, April S.-The discovery of
a chemical process which develops
from cancer in healthy rabbits and

been rendered immune, were announc-
ed tonight by DR.. Howard w. NOVEL;
of Boston university school of medi-

Medical society.
DR.. NOVEL; has been engaged in or

three years and his colleagues regard
his discovery as an important step in
the study of cancer.
While guarding against and impress
sion that a cancer cure has been
found, DR.. NOVEL; told of plans by
which cases of human cancer are to
be inoculated with the serum. 1t will
require two years to determine wheth-
er or not the serum will immunize a
human cancer victim upon whom an
operation has been performed, from a
recurrence of the growth.

described how, from cases Of opera

1T is said that nearly all of the i'm
migrants of the most desirable type
arriving In New York know in advance
just where they are going. Friends
or relatives have settled in some parts
of this country, have prospered, and
have sent back home for them. Our
problem, then, is, at first, to show
these people that there is an opportu-
nifty in Vermont, to establish colonies
of them if possible, and after that
these colonies will increase automa-
tically. If we can induce the right
type of immigrants to come to Yer
mont there is an opportunity for those
with thrifty habits to acquire land at
ter few years of service as farm la
borers, which will be good thing for
the state in enabling our farmers to
increase their production through a
larger supply OF labor, and will also
lead to the occupation and cultivation
of land which is not now utilized to
the fullest extent"
All, people who are in need of farm
help are requested to write to E. S.

needs.

Tigers

The Tigers score four of the five

Der of pins on each match two points
and on this basis the scoring of the
teams is as follows: Pirates, 62 points
Tigers. SO points; Athletics, 80 points,
and the Elks % points.
The highest averages for the series
are as follows for the 54 games w.
White, 173 1884; w. Boynton, III 80.
81; Cranston, III 1854. The highest
three strings for one match games are
w. White, 61S, average FOG; C. Dean,
610, average 203 1-3.
For the total pin-fall during the ser
les the Athletics stand first with 49,
O6S, the Tigers second with 43,053, the
Pirates third with 43,030 and the Elks
fourth with 41,665. The Athletics

The jury last night acquitted Prof
Oscar NJ. Olson, formerly of the uni
versity of Minnesota farm school, who
was charged at St Paul, Mimi, with
the murder of Clyde N. Darling. Oh

foreman, Olson attempted to rise,
staggered and dropped back into his
seat.
He recovered his self-composure and
with tear-dimmed eyes shook hands
with the jurors, the judge and the
newspaper men. There Is going to
be happy reunion at the Olson home
tonight" was all Prof Olson would say
as he started for his home, where his
coming was being awaited by his wife
and little daughter. Prof Olson had
not seen his daughter since his arrest
the night of the shooting.
