WASHINGTON, May l2.-President
Wilson believes the negotiations be
tween Japan and the United States
over the alien land legislation in Cal
ifornia have not reached an alarming 9
stage, but that the interchange Of
views thus far has been along friendly
lines, calculated to remove the appear
ance of discrimination against Japan
ese subjects. Discussing the matter in
formally today the President took the
position that the Webb bill did not
violate the treaty between the United
States and Japan. He intimated that
the protest was not founded upon O
claim that the treaty would be broken
but upon the feeling that there was
an effort being made to discriminate
against the japanese on the ground OF
their alleged inability to citizenship.

The unsuccessful efforts by Charles
Oakes in his motorboat and others to
recover the body of Henry Mellish,

the currents are swift near that point
and there is a large amount of brush

ident 5 final appeal to California to
desist from amy anti-Japanese legisla-
tion at this time was made public last
night in the form OF a telegram sent
to Gov. johnson by Secretary of State
Bryan
The secretary urged the governor to
withhold his signature from the alien
land bill in order to give the federal
government an opportunity to take up
the question automatically with Jap
an. He promises on behalf of the Pres
ident that if Gov johnson will pre-
vent the pending bill from becoming a
law the federal government will coop
crate in on effort to discover and cor
rect any evils that may exist in Cali
fornia in connection with the owner
ship of land by japanese.
Mr.. Bryan does not reveal the
grounds upon wheih the Japanese base
their protest against the California

the President to a BELIEF that the
pending bill would involve violation OF
the treaty of 1911 In fact he recites
that the bill is avowedIy intended tC
conform to treaty obligations of the
United States.
