MAYOR OF YOKOHAMA
PRAISES UNITED STATES

Toxic July 20.-In the course OF an
address delivered at an informal meet
ing of the members of the Yokohama
city assembly. Mayor Mitsuhaushi dealt
with the forthcoming visit of the Amer
lean fleet in terms of conspicuous cor
dlality. Among all the treaty powers
holding relations with Japan, the Unit
cd states. he declared held towards
this nation unique position. Refer
ring TO the American appropriation OF
81 10000 for the purpose of the grand
Japanese exposition of 1912, the speaker
sad:
Such an enormous appropriation.
several times larger than that original
ly proposed. is no doubt due to the fact
that public opinion in the United States
is now, as II ever was, very friendly
toward our empire. AS to the relations
between the United States and Yoko-
hama, although well known to you,
may refer to the fact that the Shin
onosekl indemnity. together with inter-
est thereon, so generously returned to
us by the United States, formed the
principal part of the expenses of the
first construction of Yokohama harbor,
only small amount having been added
thereto by the government. With re-
gard to foreign trade between Japan
and America, | do not consider it neces-
sary to give any statistics Suffice 1t
to say that our experts to America al
ways exceed our imports from them
and there is every prospect that the
export trade will increase year by year
Regarding this export trade, may
mention that 1t Is much larger from
Yokohama than from any of the other
open ports
lin view of our international rela-
tions with America and Yokohama's po-
sition In the trade with that republic,
think it Is necessary that the city shall
take all possible steps as host to ex
tend as grand and cordial a welcome
to the American fleet on its arrival here
as the circumstances may permit

The scene OF the accident was at the
Eley bridge across Ten-mile creek.
About 20 feet west of the bridge is u
deep hole In the middle OF the road
stretching nearly across 1t. The hole
was full of water and just after cross
ing the bridge Mr.. Pohlmann guided his
machine to the left side to void the
hole. The sides of the embankment at
that point are thickly lined with shrub
berry and small trees and the party did
not realize that they concealed a steep
bank
The front wheel of the machine went
over the edge of the embankment just
as the rear wheels struck the edge of
the hole In the road.
The jumping OF the rear wheel tossed
the machine over the embankment.
