WEBB BILL WILL NOT
VIOLATE THE TREATY
With Japan is the Belief Elk
pressed by President
Woodrow Wilson.
,ur ASSOCIATED .ress,

w WASHINGTON, D. C., May IL
President Wilson believes negotia-
tons between Japan and the United
states over the land legislation In
california are not in an alarming
state but that the interchange OF
views has been along friendly lines
calculated to remove the appearance
of discrimination against Japanese.
The president discussing the sub
ject informally today took the posi-
ton that the Webb bill would not
violate the treaty between Japan and
the United States. He intimated
that Japan's protest was not founded
upon a claim that the treaty would
be broken but upon the feeling that
there was an effort to discriminate
against japanese on the ground OF
their alleged ineligibility to citizen
ship.
Mr.. Wilson endeavored-2a make It
plain that the greatest frankness had
prevailed between the two. govern
ments even to the Abandonment OF
many diplomatic formaIities.

saw the man lying across the track
when the train was only few rail

put some coal into the engine and

distance he discerned an object on
the rail that he took for porcupine,
but which proved later to be the body
of a man. The discovery had been
too late, however, to stop the train,
