California Gove rnor
Will Not Sign the Anti-Alien
Measure Until
Secretary Bryan Re
turns to Washington
and Confers With
President Wilson
Washington, May 5 President
Wilson received today by telegraph B
copy of the alien land bill passed by
the California legislature, now await
ing Governor Johnson's signature Ho
let It bo known that the federal ad
ministration would take uo further
step until Secretary Bryan returns
Thursday with first -band information.
Mr Wilson told his callers that he
had not yet received the formal pro
test of Japan and intimated that be
fore May 13, the last day for Gover
nor Johnson to ?lgn the bill, some ex
pressions might b.' expired a.- to
whether It would bp in contravention
of the treaty with Japan
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 op
portunity to acquaint the Tukio for
eign office of the exact terms of the
bill and of conditions In California
;md in Washington
Studying the Webb Bill.
Meanwhile the government's legal
experts are studying the Webb bill
In an effort to locate what may be
points of attack. Many officials here
believe the lawyers of the California
legislature have succeeded in framing
a bill that may successfully resist
attack on the ground that it violates
any provision of the treaty o-f 1911
between the United States and Japan
In that case Japan would need to
rely upon the general provisions of in
ternational law to secure relief from
the threatened discrimination It aJ
I leges
In some apprehension thai an ef
fort might bo made to connect v. ith
the present California situation the
recent placing of orders for three
dreadnoughts, the Japanese embassy
officials today declared these v.
were appropriated for by the last Diet
before the land legislation began iu
California and that placing orders at
this time as simply in execution of
plans to cover a period of years in
naval development.
The Joint board composed of the
1 Ighest technical oflieers of the army

Dewey was in secret session today ,
W hile it was a special meeting, it was !
stated that it had been In contem- j

Bill in Parliament
London, May 5. The struggle for
woman suffrage began again in the
' house of commons this afternoon
' when the second reading was moved

i franchise bill. W hether this measure
which proposes to enfranchise 0 000.

I ,
for the life time of tbe present par
liament will be Bettled tomorrow
night The vital sections of the brief
bill are as follows:
"1 Every woman who,
"2 (at If she were a man would
be entitled to be registered as a par
liamentary elector In respect of H
household qualification within the j
meaning of the representation act of I
1884. or,

"Shall be entitled to be registered

situated.
"A woman shall not be entitled to
be registered unless she has attain
, ed the age of twenty-five years.
"?, A woman shall not be disqual
ified by reason of marriage from be
ing registered and voting."
The bill Is backed by seven Llb
i erals. two Unionists and two Labor
I members. W hile it meets the wlsh'-s
of most of tbe men sympathizers of
woman suffrage, it does not go far
! enough for others. The parties are
so hopelessly divided and even the
members of the cabinet are so widely
set asunder on the question that a
forecast of the outcome of the de
bate Is difficult.
The men when they arrived at the
house today had to run the gauntlet

GRANT TIME !
EXTENSION
Union Pacific Will
Have Until July 1, to
Dispose of 46 Per Cent
in Southern Pacific
Court Partially Com
plies With Request
Washington. May 5 The supremo
court lodav ertended the time in
which the I'nion Pacific railroad must
dispose of its 4ti per cnt in the South
; ern Pacific stock., from May 12 to
i July 1. thus only partially complying
with the request of the I'nion Pacific
attorneys for an Indefinite extension
of time.
The general effect of the decision is
a victory for the federal government.
Attorney CencraJ McReynolds oppos
ed an extension longer than July 1.
The request for extension was mad)
by the railroad attorneys when It be
came apparent that the circuit judges
sitting as the district court of Utah
would not be able in the time allotted
to pass upon the dissolution plan re
cently submitted. The attorneys re
quested an indefinite extension
Sale of Stock Necessary.
The sale of the stock by the Union
Pacific was m;de necessary on De
cember 2, 1912, when the supreme
court decided that Its ownership by
the I'nion Pacific effected n combina
tion w.th tbe Southern Pacific, a com
peting road within violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. Tbe court
gave the i'nion Pacific until May 12
to dispose of Its holdings.
There was no opinion, as announced
by the supreme court, explaining its
action Chief fustlce White merely
made the announcement of the course
the court had determined upon.

NO DOUBT AS
TO CAUSE DEATH
The cause of death having been
quostioued. Mr. and Mrs Daniel R.
Davis, parents of Leland Arthur Da
vis, the 9-year-old son who died as
a result of ptomaine Poiaon, say there
Is no doubt In their minds that death
was due to ptomaine poisoning. Mr
Davis states that the boy tasted some
mustard remaining in a sardine can
about three hours after the contents
had been removed The can had been
left on tho kitchen table and was tak
en from the boy nftt-r he hid eaten
of the mustard. The elder daughter
took the can from his hands
The physician, also. Is certain that
the case was diagnosed correctly and
tho post mortem appearance of the
body bears out that ptomaine was the
cause of death.
The mustard from the can was
eaten last Sunday while the boy was
In apparently good health Later Iu
the day the youngster complained
and on' Tuesday he was taken with
severe pains. On Wednesday morn-
I lng. the father visited the bedside of
I the son at 6:30 o'clock and found him
breathing heavily but did not think
he was In a serious condition Re-
I turning ten mluutes later to the room
he found bis son dead
Inez, the 15-year-old daughter Is

fever, and the mother is ill of the
