Movement on Foot to Delay Action Until New Treaty With Mikado Has Been Negotiated. BRYAN RETURNS TODAY linn Cunfiiwco With President Wil son Over lVatur of Anti-Lund lactation Situation Exists on Count Tliat M list be Met Problem is, How to Work It Out. (By John E. Nevin, Staff Corre spondent United Press.) Washington, May 8. California's land bill will not menace America's peace. Japan lias accepted President Wilson's action In sending Bryan to Sacramento in the spirit wherein the move was made. Japan resents Cali fornia's action but does not believe tho American people will endorse the Webb bill. It also does not expect the measure will be enforced. This was the opinion today of those closest in touch with the situation when it was learned a movement Is on foot in Cali fornia to delay the enforcement of the Webb bill, until the new treaty with Japan covering the main features of tho measure, is negotiated. P.ryan reported personally to Wil son on his California trip today. The president, it was reported, was told that the administration's friends on the coast are ready to prevent any embarrassment by forcing a referen dum vote on the measure. Bryan al so told the president, it was report ed, that a situation exists in Califor nia which must be met and that Asiat ic aggression on certain communities must be checked. Hut the problem confronting the administration, It was said, is how to work it out. It is understood that Japan Is willing to concede nearly everything demanded through the treaty which would pre serve its national honor. It was ad mitted It will require time to negoti ate such a treaty and that the en forcement of the Webb law will com plicate the situation. Japan officially intimated it Is willing to act slowly on the Webb bill. Washington, May 8. Bryan return ed today. Japan's rrotest against the California bill Is not completed and it Is nt believed it will reach the government until the California law is enforced. It is believed that Ambassador Chlnda Is deferring no tion until Governor Johnson signs the bill. Bryan will confer with President Wilson tills afternoon anil make a complete report on his mission to Cal ifornia. Bryan plans to go to Balti more this evening to spend the night there, proceeding to New York where he is scheduled to speak Friday night. John Bassett Moore has prepared an analysis of the constitutionality of the California nntl-alien law. It Is an nounced the president has not constd eied tho law enacted by Arizona. Ja pan not having signified its intention to enter a protest against that meas ure. Before tho California bill Is signed,, the president will, probably wire the California executive again detailing at length the national ad ministration's attitude. It is consid ered certain, however, the bill will be signed and that the national admin istration will then act. MOTHER KILLS HER CHILDREN AS THEY SLEEP Philadelphia, May 8.

CALIFORNIA WILL NOT ENFORCE WEBB MEASURE JAPAN BELIEVES s . TO USE DISEASE IN EFFORT TO EXTERMINATE RABBITS IN COUNTY In an effort to Introduce a disease that will exterminate tho rapidly In creasing rabbit swarms of the west ern end of tho county, Dr. W, II. Lytlo, state sheep inspector, left this morning for Echo armed with a bot tle of culture of snuffles, a now dis ease resembling 'distemper and said to be very fatal to rabbits. He will inoculate a number of tho little ani mals and liberate them in the fllcds In tho hopes that they will spread the malady. So numerous have become the rab bits In the west end that they now constitute a serious menace to the al falfa crops, and ranchers have been appealing for aid In fighting them. They themselves have conducted rab bit drives but. though thousands have been slaughtered this means has prov ed Ineffective gecause the survivors which. Chicago bacteriologists have multiply so rapidly. The snuffles virus Is a bacillus with been experimenting for some time. Hearing that It had been proven to be universally fatal with rabbits, Dr. JAPANESE OFFERS TO RECRUIT ARMY Eagle Pass, Texas. May 8.

The proceedings were continued to the 13th. The suffra getes except Edward Clayton a "male suffragette," will bo released in $3, 000 bail.

Mrs. Fantezzo said the crime was commit ted while Fantezzo slept, and that "he never knew what killed him." SCHOOL CHILDREN STRIKE IN BOSTON Boston, May S. The police and parents appear powerless to stop the school children's strike for shorter hours here. All over greater Boston the strike has spread, more than a thousand children being "out" In Cambridge, Roxbury, South Boston and other suburbs. A hundred pick ets who prevented other pupils enter ing the south Boston school were routed today by parents and police. Each parent took his child home, it was said, to apply personal correction The man who is only as honest as he has to be Is as dishonest as he can he. Lytic sent in an order for cultures several weeks ago but the order was not filled until a few days ago because the Chicago bacteriologists wished first to ascertain whether or not oth er animals could contract the disease. It was found that, aside from the rab bit, the house cat was the only animal susceptible and that that nni'mal was not affected fatally. Ir. Lytle has no great hopes that he can Introduce the disease among the Umatilla county rabbits to any extent at this time, even should the bacilli irove to be as fatal as repre sented. At this time of the year the rabbits are scattered over the fields, the green alfalfa affording them plen ty or food. The logical time to in troduce a disease, he states .Is earlier when the little animals congregate in great numbers around alfalfa stacks. An affected animal Introduced am ong them would cause the contagion to spread rapidly. Dr. Lytle will bring a Tiumber of rabbits home with him and will ex periment with them here to deter mine how effective is the virus.

First among Secretary Bryan's caller when he reached Washington from Sacramento today probably will be Viscount Chin da, the Japanese ambassador. It has been assumed that the ambassador has been awaiting the opportunity to de liver personally to the secretary of state, a protest from his government, against the California alien legisla tion, but it is believed now the first effort of the ambassador will be to get from the secretary some idea of what the administration proposes to do after ("Jovernor Johnson signs the land bill, ns it is generally expected he will do. Before answering this question, however, Mr. Bryan must report to and confer with President Wilson re garding his California mission so he probably will suggest that his confer ence with Viscount Chlnda be post poned for n short time.
