nicipal civil service commission and
formerly professor of psychology at

witness against his son, James C. Kav

son to an asylum.
Tho son called tho father to the wit
ness stand and conducted the exam
ination himself. In answer to ques
tions as to whether ho really believed
his son insane the father testilled:
"I believe, my boy, that you are very
111 and should undergo treatment. I
base my opinion on tho testimony of
three alienists who have had vastly
more experience than I and who swear
that you are mentally ill."
The court said he would sign an or

JAPANESE CONSUL TO CHINA.
Kikuchi Midzuno Transferred From
New York to Peking.
Now York, Nov. 14. The present sit
uation in China is responsible for the
cablegram of recall which Kikuchi
Midzuno, for three years consul general
of Japan at New York, received on
Saturday, which ordered him to report
at Tokyo immediately. The orders
from his home government notified Mr.
Midzuno that he would bo removed
from tho consular service and appoint
ed first secretary of legation under III
kokochl IJuln, minister of Japan at
tho court of Peking.
Tho recall of Consul Genoral Mid
zuno and his pending appointment to
Peking indicates the pressing need of
his government for a man high in the
consular service of Japan who has done
duty In China and who knows tho In
tricacies of tho present situation
brought nbout by the revolution. Mr.
Midzuno served as Japanese consul at
Cheefoo during the Russo-Japanese
war, and subsequently ho held tho con
sular post at Hankow, in tho province

STRIKERS LOSE.
Mayor Gaynar Denies inter

POLIGE GUARD HOUSE TOPS.
Believing They Have Won the Fight
Against Street Cleaners, New York
Officials Plan Reorganization With
New Forco of Mon-r-Strike
Leaders In Quandary.
New York, Nov. 14. The striking
drivers of the street cleaning depart
ment are willing to knuckle under and
go back to work in tho dark if Mayor
Gnynor is willing. But tho mayor
f.-on't havo it Ho holds that the strlk
irs are mutineers who have cut them
selves off from consideration. He adds
that the dapartment will be reorgan
ized without their services.
All sorts of efforts were made to In
fluence the mayor In behalf of the
strikers. Strike leaders let It bo known
that the strike would be called off and
thnt tho men would return to their
carts provided tho maypr agreed to re
instate drivers who could show that
they had been intimidated. They fig
ured that about 00 per cent of the
drivers could by that excuse reconnect
with their Jobs, but the mayor re
turned no nuswer. He considers that
the strike has been broken and Com
missioner Edwards is winning his fight
nil along the line. William H. Ashton.
the teamsters' organizer, who called
the drivers' strike and who has been
directing It, tried to see the mayor and
was rebuffed.
Ashton requested an interview with
I ho mayor, and Secretary Adamsou
conveyed the request to the Inner of
fice. The mayor looked up Just long
enough to say, "Tell this Mr. Ashton
that I do not care to see him or to have
anything to do with him."
Michael Reagan, mediator of the
state board of arbitration, who was
with Ashton, wanted to know if Mr.
(aynor would talk to him. Mr. Gaynor
wouldn't.
"I have nothing to do with either of
them," said he.
Later Ashton renewed a threat to
rail a geneYal teamsters' strike. So far
as n quiet Investigation that has been
conducted by city officials shows, the
teamsters are not likely to quit.
After the mayor had got through
work in his own office ho paid a call
on Commissioner Edwards. As he left
tho mayor paused long enough to say
to the reporters:
"I am very happy over the progress
that has been made. There Is prac
tically no disorder anywhere In the
city. The much larger force of drivers
that Edwards has at work in Manhat
tan is amply protected by policemen
armed with clubs and revolvers. They
were ordered to use their clubs on
provocation and to shoot to kill If
necessary."
The police go at tho Job with a little
more system. Before a procession of
enrts enter a street plain clothes
men see to It that the roofs are bare of
men and women brick and bottle
throwers. They stay on the roofs until
tho carts pass out of tho street. In the
next block another squad repeats the
precautions. Women screech from
windows and shy a few dishes that
are apparently of no use to them, but
that is about the limit of disturbance.
In the Yorkvllle court Magistrate
Breen had before him John Cooney, a
sailor, who had punched n strike
breaker in the face. He sent Cooney to
the workhouse for a month. Others
were equally as severely dealt with.
