PASS CHRISTIAN, MISS., Dec. 31.—-'(Special to The Evening
News.)—The peace and quiet of the vacation of President Wilson
will be broken when his personal representative in Mexico ar-
rives here some time today, bringing important papers from the
war stricken republic.
It is underwood that r >hn Li ad. who left Mexico yesterday af-
ternoon for the United States, is bringing another offer from
President Huerta t President Wilson to retire. As has been the
case on previous propositions of this character. Huerta has cer-
tain strings ar.d conditions attached to his proposal, and all for-
mer propositions have been withdrawn by the latest plea fori
peace.
A United Pr -- eorrespon kvt called at the executive cottage1
shortlp afternoon today, but Mr. Wilson and all his party refua-!
ed to give out any information whatever until Mr. Lind arrives!
at the eottag- and submits his papers.
However, enough was said for V to be understood that Presi-I
dent Wilson entertains grave doubts as to Mr. Huerta'., good1
faith in the matter, and desires to get Mr. Lind's personal views!
before making any kind of statement for publication
There is very little hope that Huerta will be eliminated by the!
development - of today, and this government anticipates no
agreement on terms dictated by the dictator.

Force Agreement
NEAR1NG
By United Presa.
ST. LOUIS. MO., Dec. 31.—(Special to The Hugo Evening
News.)—The Frisco telegraphers have failed to unionize the sta-
tion agents of the Frisco lines who are not operators.
The receivers have refused to consider this feature, altho the
grievance committee of the telegraphers walked out of the con-
ference twice in an attempt to force the consideraion of he clause
of operators not agents.
The agreement provides for an increase of six per cent in wag-
es and a reduction of working hours to ten hours a day at ail one-
mar. stations: relay office operators get forty minutes for lunch
instead of twenty minutesTthe scale for overtime to be increased
from u5 to 35 cents per hour; to be relieved from scrubbing sta-
ti*>ns, but ordered to keep stations clean and orderly, to be re-
lieved from handling the Unite/States mails where it is labor-
ious or a hindrance to the rout/e duties of the agent or operator.
THE LO/AL SITUATION.
Frnco operators in Hugo/tate that an agreement has been
reached and that all point/have been gained except where the*
station agents are not opefetors, as in the case/f Hugo^ftkre
the agent does not have/ be an operator. Tb'eshave
railed to come into tbe #nion.
