RECEIVES COPY
. Of AN ALIEN
LAND MEASURE
President Says He Will
Take No Further Steps
Until Bryan's Return;
Chinda Also Waits.

Washington. D. G., May 5.-Presi.
dent Wilson received today by tele
lgraph copy Of the alien land BILL
passed by the CAlifornia legtsiature
tnow awaiting Gov. Johnson's signature
He let 1t be known that the federal al.
ministration would take no further step
lnntil Secretary Bryan returned Thurs.
day with first hand information. Mr..
Wilson told his callers that he had not
yet received the formal protest of
Japan and intimated that before May
| 13, the last day for Governor johnson
to sign the bill, some expressions
might be expected as to whether 1t
would be in contravention Of the treaty
with Japan.
chlnda Awaits 1ryan's Return.
In the absence OF instructions to the
contrary, Ambassador Chinda will not
present Japan's formal protest until
after Secretary Bryan returns In
the meantime the embassy will have
opportunity to acquaint the Toxic
foreign office Of the exact terms of the
bill and OF conditions in California and
Washington.
Meanwhile the governments legal
experts are studying the Webb bill in
an effort to locate what may be the
points of attack. Many officials here
believe the lawyers of the California
legislature have succeeded in fran
ing bill that may successfully resist
attack on the ground that 1t violates
, any provisions OF the treaty of 1911
between the United States and Japan.
In that case Japan would need to rely
upon the general provisions Of inter-
national law to secure relief from the
threatened discrimination it alleges.
In some apprehension that an effort
might be made to connect with the
present. California situation, the recent
placing of orders for three dread
noughts the Japanese embassy officials
today declared these vessels were ap-
propriated for by the last diet before
the land legislation began in California
and that placing orders at this time
was simply in execution of plans to
cover a period Of years in naval de
ivelol ment.
Army and Navy Board Meets.
The joint board composed OF the
highest technical officers of the army
and navy and headed by Admiral
Dewey was in secret session today.
While 1t was special meeting it was
stated that 1t had been in contempla.
| tion for some time and it was to have
been called as soon as Major General
Wood returned from his Texas trip.
Would Prevent Signature.
Pasadena, Cal, May 5.-William
Carter, secretary Of the international
Peace Forum delivered q sermon here
last night during the course Of which
he appealed to his hearers to send
letters and kilograms to Gov. johnson
without delay petitioning him not to
sign the anti-alien land bill.
"It is for peace, not politics, am
pleading tonight" he said. The sub.
iect OF his sermon was "Our attitude
toward China and Japan; is it Chris.
tian?"
Mr.. Carter recently returned from
Sacramento where he made a personal
appeal to Gov. Johnson not to approve
any measure which might irritate the
Japanese.

En- gineer Missing
From Place in Cab;
Search for Body

Salt Lake City, Utah, May s. {
As Union Pacific east bound
train No. 2, the Overland Limit
ed, was nearing Church But
tes, Wyo., last night, Fireman
J. R. Hurley discovered that
Engineer Alfred Nelson was
missing from his post. The
train was stopped and then run
back over the road for several
miles, but no trace Of the mis-
sing engineer could be found.
It Is not known how long the
train had been running without
an engineer, but it is believed
Nelson was knocked from his
seat as the train passed over a
bridge which spans Black
smiths Fork creek, about ten
miles from Church Buttes.
After searching for two
hours the train proceeded to
Granger where another engi-
neer was supplied. A search
ing party Is now dragging the
creek for Nelson's body.

Thinks Wool Will Pass.

President Wilson does not expect
the tariff bill to be materially amend
ed in the senate. He told callers he did
not credit the report that wool would
be taken from the free list. He has
heard views of many who wish to see
a duty remain on wool, but sees no
reason to change his position. The
argument for the retention OF duty on
sugar also has made no impression on
him.
