JAPANESE PLEASED.
Consul General Midzuno' 'Sees an 1t
Trade I'm Detns.

While officially uniformed Of the American and
japanese agreement reported from Washington, Ko-
kclii Mi6suno, Consul General Of Japan city.
said yesterday that he and his countrymen in New
York were pleased if it is true An agreement of
the kind reported. he said. would prove great i'm
petus the large trade between the two countries
90 per cent of which is carried IN New York
Mr.. Midzuno also spoke of the criticism heard in
this country OF alleged discrimination in favor of
the Japanese in the freight rates the South
Manchurian Railroad, taken by the Japanese In the
with Russia. This criticism. he said. is born
Of ignorance of the situation as are many OF the
other structures Japan. and he suggested as
way to obvlate these misconceptions an exchange
OF visits between journalists Of the countries
1T would a good thing said the consul gen
eral. "if such agreement were carried out In
view of my non-political office I can say nothing
official on such great diplomatic move But in
my commercial capacity I will say that 1t Is highly
desirable that such agreement should be arrived
at. If agreement exists, I assure you that
the whole japanese community in New York where
90 per cent of the enormous trade between
the two countries is carried on. will be extremely
happy.
In my opinion the diplomacy OF this century Is
not only diplomacy between governments. but
also between peoples. If the people OF both coun-
tries do not understand each other better than
they do now. the effect Of such agreement IL it
exists would be greatly discounted ignorance
leads to misunderstanding. My personal i.np:es-
sion is that the American public large has les
knowledge about Japan than exeseced before
coming to this country. japan is no- afraid of
criticism, but such criticism based

HURLED FROM CARRIAGE.
Skull Crushed-Doctors GfUe Lttth
Hope of Recovery.

Or. Andrew J. McCosh one of the leading sur
seons OF this city, so seriously injured
yesterday afternoon in a carriage accident that
he has only the slightest chance Of recovery
He was taken to the Presbyterian Hospital
where ne is chief consulting surgeon. Lats last
evening he was still unconscious and in such
low state OF vitality that DIR. George Brewer
and Dr. Starr. the principal surgeons In attend
ance. feared to operate on him. The base of his
skull badly crushed.
The accident occurred at 5sth street and Lex
ington avenue. A piece of paper blowing across
the road frightened the team it was going
down Park avenue and it boited. The horses
swerved at 55th street snd the light runabout
swung half over, righted itself and when at
56th street was swung east by the frightened
horses The coachman was flung out and fell on
his face the lines being torn from his grasp.
DR.. McCosh made effort to seize the lines
but just as collision with q trolley car at Lex
Ington avenue seemed inevitable the near front
wheel broke loose from the axle, throwing DR..
NcCosh out He struck with his whole weight
on the back Of his skull
He was thrown in front of the Babies Hos
ptal into which he carried unconscious
There an ambulance call was sent to the Flower
Hospital, and DR.. Powers responded. The in
terne at once recognized Dr. McCosh, and took
him as quickly as possible to the Presbyterian
Hospital His condition recognized there as
being too grave to permit an operation ths
skull. Ue lay for hours in a stupor from which
it was impossible TO rouse him.
DR. McCosh's father wRs fog many years pres
ident Of Princeton University. His sister is the
wife of Dr. David Magic. who retired from prac-
tice time ago, but who was formerly
well known physician in this city. She now
lives at Princeton where his mother also lives.

Promise Given by Local and

Respect Property


The local and federal health officials
promised the supervisors yesterday that
no more property will be destroyed by

owners have been given a hearing and
the health board has decided that such
destruction is necessary to safeguard
the health of the community. This
promise was made at the conclusion of

Acting President Bullard and DR..

AT the outset DR.. Giannini said that
there was no intention on the part of
the supervisors to hamper the work
OF the sanitary forces by repeating any
of the laws, but they must be exc
cuted with more respect for the rights
of property owners. He said that
complaints are being made every day of
