I eeIgraph Company, in Annual
Report. Encourages Share
hoIders-Profits Declared.

NEW YORK, April S-That the
Western Union Telegraph Company, is
r,,t greatly concerned DER the agita-
ton for the Government ownership of
telephone or telegraph lines is made
pain in the annual report OF the COM
pany for the year ended December 81,
1913. issued today.
As TO the Government purchase or
operation of the telegraph says the
report. the property of the company
cannot he taken without just compen-
sation.. In such 4 case the shareholders
should receive. as minimum. COM
pensa ton far in excess of the present
market value of the shares.
the other alternative which has
been advanced, 20 take over the long
distance telephone lines and enter into
competition with the existing telegraph
lines for the purpose of destroying their
business, is not only of so Questionable
a character as to be repudiated when
its full significance is realized, but is
SO utterly impossible and unworkable
from a practical point of view as to
make it negligible. The owners of the
Western Union NAV rest quietly, and
not he scared into the sacrifice of their
propertS. Headline prophecies should

the results which have followed the
headline prophecies of the past"
The report says the prospects of the
company as a going concern. operating
Independently of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, is eX-
ceIlent.
A prosperous year is reported in the
financial statement accompanying the
report. The total earnings for the year
were s45. 7S3, ,5l2. an increase of sl.12o.2l

Problem Causing Chief Concern in Mexico Now Is Form of Govern

Western Newspaper ro'on News Service.
 Juare, MeX.-The news that General Huerta had authorized his delegates to the conference with the South American mediators to present his res ignation should it be necessary to re store peace brought the statement from Constitutionalists here that such an action would not end the rebellion. They say they intend to eliminate not only Huerta but his party.
 Any compromise which would not entirely eliminate the Cientificos from politics. said Rafael Musquiz, son-in- law of General Carranza, simply would mean another revolution. An other Huerta would spring up and the struggle would continue"
 According to information from MeXi- co City, General Huerta at first au- thorized the delegates to discuss only the question of the Tampico conflict, leading to the American occupation Of Vera Cruz Later the Mexican die tator, it is explained, came to recog- nize the necessity of a broader settle ment, and then conveyed to the dele gates assurances that he was pre- pared to step down should they find that course necessary.
 The problem causing chief concern to diplomats in Mexico City now is that of the form of administration to be established during the interreg- mum before a constitutionally elected president could assume office.
 No intimation concerning the name of a successor to Huerta was contained in this dispatch, this subject being one in which it was necessary to consult the opinion of Constitutionalists and other leaders in Mexico.
