his way to Burlington for a week end
visit.
George Aitken left the city this morn
ing for Hardwick, where he has secured
employment in the plant of the Wood
bury Granite Co.
Joseph Ala, Spanish butcher, achieved
signal success in matching steer with
his delivery horse yesterday, although
| pedestrians along North MAN street who
saw the pair meandering down the thor
oughfare were aware that there were
ambling together for the first time
Somewhere on Prospect street Mr.. Ala
negotiated the hitch and the steer, an
animal of superior mental attainments
for a bovine, behaved like a veteran
while in the traces. The horse, aecus-
toned to having its own way in the har-
ness was q bit more nervous, but the
drivers gentle urging, being punctuated
with threatening fourshes of the whip
soon composed the animals feelings.
Thirty-fve friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Mitchell gathered at their home,
ago to help them celebrate the 25th ami.
yersary of their marriage. The event
was complete surprise to the host and
hostess, but it developed into an evening
of much pleasure. There were solos by
Joseph VIII, Mrs. Will and Alex Ander-
son and then Mr. VIII presented Mr.. and
Mrs Mitchell a silver tea service, in behalf
of their friends, George Taylor making
the presentation speech. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitchell responded. Refreshments
were served and the guests departed with
best wishes for future anniversaries OF
their host and hostess.
For the benefit OF parents who are anx-
ious that their children shall obey the
rules laid down by the council for coast
ing, list of streets reserved for the win
ter pastime is printed below At spe-
cial meeting of the city council a week
ago. the council discussed briefly the pro-
posal to reserve hill streets for coasting
and acted favorably on the suggestion
that streets where coasting was permit
ted last winter be set aside for that pur-
pose A perusal Of the records indicates
that coasting, therefore, is restricted to
the following streets: Batchelder, Camp,
East. Long and Warren streets, upper
Granite street, Park street southerly
from the fremont street intersection.
Beckley street. John. Foster and Aead-
envy streets. Parents are asked to CO.

PROVISIONAL PACT
HAS BEEN SIGNED
Arranges for Withdrawal of American
Troops Now in Chihuahua, But Per-
lnits Pursuit of Bandits
Into Mexico.

Atlantic City, n. j., Nov. 25.-A proto
col providing for the conditional with
| drawal of the American troops now II
Chihuahua, Mexico, and for the military
control of the border, but with the sup
| elemental stipulation that United State:
troops shall be sent into Mexico in pur
suit of bandits at any time the American
government deems it necessary, wa,
signed here yesterday by the members
OF the Mexican American joint commits
sion.
One of the official copies was taken by
Alberto ]. PAM of the Mexican com
mission, who left here last night for
New York, whence he will start Monday
for Quertaro, where he viii submit it to
General Nenustiano Carranza for his APP
proval. The other copy will be delivered
to the American government by Secre-
tary OF the Interior Franklin X. Lane
chairman Of the American commission,
who left here late yesterday for Wash
ington.
If the protocol is ratified by the two
governments the commission viii convene
again on Dec. to resume the discus
sion of other questions affecting the two
countries. If ratification by either gov
ernment is withheld the work of the
conference viii be declared at an end.
Following is a paraphrase of the agree
ment to which the last signature was
affixed at 5;49 o'clock yesterday after
noon:
First-The American troops now in
Chihuahua. commanded by Gen. John
j. Pershing. shall be withdrawn with
in forty DAYS from the approval of the
protocol by the respective governments
provided that within that time the con
ditions in that part of Mexico have not
become such as to endanger the Ameri-
can border In such event the time shall
be extended.
Second-The Mexican army shall pat
rol the Mexican side OF the border and
the American army the American side,
but this shall not preclude cooperation
between the two forces to preserve peace
upon the border
Third-lt shall be left to the com
manding officers of the armies on the
border of both nations TO enter into such
arrangements for cooperation in opcr
alton against bandits whenever it is pos
sible
The right of the American government
10 send troops across the border in pur
suit Of bandits was not in corporated inf
the protocol, but was made the subject
of a supplemental memorandum The
Nexicans had contended earnestly against
signing any agreement in which they ap-
peared TO sanction what they termed the
violation Of their national territory. 1t
was the agreement of the Americans final
IL to content themselves with stating
the attitude Of the United States in a
separate memorandum thas induced the
Nlexicsns TO sign the agreement.
The Mexican commissioners agreed that
as the American troops are withdrawn
Mexican troops shall be moved forward
10 occupy the territory evacuated. The
disposition OF the Mexican troops shall
be left to the Mexican commander. Cen
raj Pershing Is to have charge Of the
Plan Of withdrawal and the right TO use

tation of his troops and the movement
OF his supplies If he desires.
The Mexicans contcnded earnestly for
the Incorporation in the protocol OF a
clause providing that if troops were sent
across the line in pursuit of bandits
they should be moved only 20 certain
distances, that they should comprise only
of certain arms of service and include
only n specified number of men; that
they should be kept in the country only
a certain time and that they must be
moved only in certain regions. To all
these arguments the Americans were
firm in their insistence that there must
be no limitations.
The article providing for the military
control of the border was condensed from
elaborate and intricate plans whose con-
sideration has taken much OF the time
OF the commission. The Mexicans have
been insistent that there should be de-
fined a neutral zone in which the ar
mics of the two governments might
operate, but since the consideration of
that point invariably brought the COM
missioners back to the question of linn
tied pursuit it was definitely rejected
by the Americans, as was the suggestion
for cooperation in which American
troops might find themselves commanded
by Mexican officers.
If the agreement is ratified there will
begin long consideration OF the re-
naming questions that the American
government regards as vital to the full
restoration OF friendly relations with
Mexico These include taxes, threats to
condscate property, sanitary conditions
and claims. Such problems are regarded
by the Americans as essentially basic
and necessary to an understanding.
