Rumors Gain Ground In Rome Pontiff
Has Turn For the Worse.
Rome, April 19-Reports issued from
the sick room of Pope Plus by his
two physicians, Drs. Ettore Marchia-
fava and Andrea Amici, continue to be
reassuring, but rumors gained circu-
lation that the pontiff's condition had
taken sudden turn for the worse.
The prostration and exhaustion of
the patient are undoubtedly augment
ing, and according to those about him
the truth is that he may die at any
time or he may even linger on for
months.
Several cardinals have sent to Car
dinal Merry del Val to ask about the
exact condition of the pope. All have
received as reply the physicians bull
letins, which Cardinal Merry del Val
says speak for themselves. He adds
that the amelioration of the pope's
health, although slow, makes constant
progress.
Cardinal Merry del Val received in
the name of the pope 1000 Polish and
italian pilgrims, under the leadership
of seven bishops. The cardinal assured
them that the pope was progressing
we'll and the symptoms of bronchial
affection were decreasing, while the
strength of the pontiff was returning.

LOS ANGELES, August 4.-Report-
ed discovery Of land bonanza in the
northern end of the Imperial valley
where many good claims were jumped
recently, in the belief that the Southern
Pacific railroad had forfeited title to
them, was questioned IN statement
from the railroad V. +. Noel, public
searcher Of records, has been quoted
as being of the opinion that squatters
might secure title to these lands.
B. A. McAnaster, land commissioner
of the Southern Pacific Land COMPANY.
however, in a statement warns all set
tiers and prospective settlers that any
time or money spent in attempting to
secure these lands will be lost and il
explanation shows where the misap'
trehension as to title has arisen.
There was a forfeiture of landi
granted to the Texas Pacific railroad,
which never was built. The Southern
Pacific road was to connect with ii
and there was an overlapping of the
two grants.
The Texas Pacific grant was declar-
ed forfeited February 25, 1885. The
Southern Pacific Company then con-
tested its right to the lands lying
within the overlapping limits.
Continuing, Mr.. McAllaster says in
bis statement:
This eliminated in three suits
brought by the United States against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
tany, known as cases 5S7. 662 and
els. in the circuit court of the United
States, ninth circuit. southern district
CT California. Eventually these suits
were consolidated and tried out as one
case and carried to the supreme court
of the United States. and that court
held the grant to be operative md
the provisions Of the act Of July ~,
1886, and that to tie extent that the
lands within the overlapping limits
fell within twenty miles Of the pro-
jected line Of the Texas Pacific rail-
road, as shown by its map of general
foule, filed October IS. 1911. such
lands were a part Of the Texas Pacific
grant and by the act of February %,
1885, were forfeited to the United
States, and the Southern Pacific Rall-
road Company had no interest therein.
