tori officials today looked for an early
agreement by General Carranza to
;suggestions for the. extension of the
powers of tin international joint com-
mission to settle border difficulties,
whiclt accompanied the American ur-
ceptaitce of hiexlo's proposal for that
form of settlement. The State lie
partment notified Carranza's ambassa-
dor here last night that the ('Uilllllln-
sion plan was satisfactory.
American officials do not want to
stop at discussion of problems dealing
. solely witli‘ bandit raids and the pres-
Mexico of l‘nited States
troops. They want to take up the
whole Mexican tangle. hoping the
conferences may bring suggestions for
once in
. the reconstruction of Mexico on a firm
economical and financial basis. This
they consider a matter of first impor-
tance.
It will be two weeks at least, of-
ficials believe, before the commission
can meet. The State Department will
insist that conferences be held within
the United States. Appointment of
American members will await Carran-
za's reply. President Wilson is un-
derstood to have under consideration
already a score of men as commis-
sioners. These include Chief Justice
White, Major-General Goethals, Fred-
erick Lehman. and Justice Louis Bran-
deis. Luis Cabrera, Mexican Minister
of Finance, it is understood, will head
the Mexican commissioners.

last 24 hours, 161 new cases were re-
ported in the five boroughs of New

Manhattan. nlno a high record for this
borough.

the report that the gunrdsmen now
