The reception ' of the plan by the Mexicans was unmarked by any com ment, the Mexicans suggesting that they woluld meet the Americans after further .studying the plans. Lane Will Issue Last Word. Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 20. Luis Caibrera and his colleagues on the Mexican-American joint commission will be ormally told tomorrow by Secretary of the Interior Lane, chair man of the American commission, on just what terms an agreement pro viding .for withdrawa of the American punitive expedition and the protection Cf life and property along the inter national boundary can be reachai. Fortified by the assurance of Presi dent Wilson that he will bae the American representatives in their efforts to reach a settlement of the questions at issue. Secretary Lane returned here late today and immed iately, went into conference with the two other American commissioners. The atmosphere of uncertainty and even hopelessness which has been apparent for many weeks was entire ly lacking tonight. The Americans appeared confident that the end of the conference is in sight. Their propo sitions have been reeruced to writing and it is understood will admit of lit tle debate. The Mericans appeared not to take a pessimistic view of the situation, Mr. Cabrera again assuring newspa per men that he wa3 very hopeful of an amicai'.le adjustment. Thare was no evidence, however, that he was prepared to recede from his position so long maintained that agrrjment to the plan of the Americans was out of the question. Ignacio Bonillas and Alberto Pani. the , other members of the Mexican commission, have been disposed of late to agree with the Americans on the plan suggested, but there was some reason tonight to believe thit Mr. Ca.brera had won them over to an agreement to stand with him. The plan to ba place! before the Mexicans Will contain nothing that 13 new to them. It has ibeen gone over jAy sessions of the joint commission tVjJand again and will not require a lfltug explanation. .The Question at issue, ten at the ith?rawal of General Pershing's tr.-wos, but the method cf controlling ,the border after thty have been tak en out. The Mexicans will not V permitted to iilace restrictions on the manner in which the Amricn gov ernment may protect its border, nor on the manner in which it may punish marauding bandits, t Th Mexicans have objected seri ously td acknowledrring the right of the United States to send, troop . across the international boundary line .in pursuit of andit, but have been "more insistent that in case troops are jrt they be moved subject to certain restrictions. ' When the Mexican com missioner leave here it will be with the realization that American forces will be usai to run tba any raiding laying of 24-mch pipe, for street railway paving and for various arades of paving, including Nds. 1, 2 and mixed concrete, sheet Mexican asphalt or Adtec asphalt. There was quite a varying in the bids on some have in the pTSt contended that there j nt far distant when th:' great broth sh:uld be some sort of a public cere mony to which the vnersl prHic should be invited and which w ould have the appearance, and really would, ad more dignity to t'ie occa sion and at the sams time impress coon thos? takinir the office ereater eiate as though they were importance of the re?i'.Dnsibi!ities items and on some htere were I-ids so j which they are ag.sum.ng. Already, close as to be practically equal After all bi s had been opened and thoroughly canvassed it was decido-l by the board that the portion ofS. Main street to be paved shoud i' e put i 'can in concrrte. As to Mitchell ave nue the grade of paving to be used here was left open until next meeting of the board Thursday night cf this we-:-k. In the meantime City Engi neer .1. W. Wd lb will make calcula tions from the several bids submitted, taking grading an : all into considera tion and advise the board as to the firm submitting the lowest proposi tion. This will i e presented at the meeting Thursday night when all representatives of the bk'ding com panies were invited to return. At this meetir? not only will the grade of paving to be used on Mitchell ave nue be decided upon but the con tracts will prc(':ably be let for this thoroughfare an also for South Main strpet. No matter what rrade is decided uoon it is certain that when the con tracts are let and the work complet ed Salisbury will have in South Main extension and Mitchell avenue two of the best paved streets to i':e found in the state. This work is beinar done under the new paving act, whereby pich oroDsrty oner on ech side of the street pays one-third of the cost and the city cne-thirr, except on streets where there is a car line and then the one-third on which the city otherwise assumes the cost falls on the street car company. United States regardless of where they may have to go or of how long the v may have to stay in Mexico. It was regarded here tonight as not improbable that a delay mi?ht fee caused by the desire of the Mexicans to communicate further with General Carranza. If time is taken :for the Mexicans to report the new situation to their chief and for him to reply, it is possible nothing may be done until Saturday. LEXINGTON LADIES HURT it has ibeen suggested by some of the leading citizens of ths county that the taking of the oath of the recently elected officials should take the na ture of an "inauguration," not with a parade and a celebration, e ut with some impressive ceremony and that such should be held in the Superior ccurt room. Walfer H. Woodson, Esq., chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee was asked yesterday af ternoon what he thought of the idea anr! he unhesitatingly endorsed it, in fact said it should ibe done, and that it would not only impress upon the officials the great responsibilities they are assuming but would be the meins of elevating the dignity of the off-e? and give the people a higher conception of the duties of their offi cials and would be calculated to im press the people more and more of the importance of keeping good men in office. Mr. Woodion said he id not know ucon wh-m the task of initiating a movement for a pin' lie installation of j the county officials should devolve rut that some one ought to tike the mat ter up and he would i':e indeed gld to see such a scheme put through. It was suggested that if t'lis be done it ouTht to take place at 11 o'clock ;0n th- morning of December 4th, as t'? old board of county commissioners al wjv holds a brrf ses?r-n iust be'ore giving to the incoming board, and thir woul: give ample time for this. While only sug?e?f ions have been offered it h practical!" certain that forae one will take the matter u:t) and that December 4th will see the be ginning of on lie inauguration of county officials in Rowan, which wouH nrcf'f Mv be the fir.-, cqunty in the State to adopt this plan.
