ment Regarding Indignity to
Consul Jenkins.

Railway communication between Mexi-
co City and Vera Cruz has been totally
interrupted, and there has been break
in the line to Tampico, the State Depart
ment learned today in a message from
Mexico City.
According to later dispatches. Consul
Silliman may find difficulty in Joining Car
ranza at Vera Cruz
Another consequence of the Interrupt
tion has been the Involuntary separa-
tion from his command in Mexico City
of Gen. Obregon, the Carranza chief
tain, who recently left the capital for
a conference with Carranza at Vera
Cruz. All these activities have been
ascribed to Zapata forces, reported in
considerable numbers around the cap
ital, and who command the line of COM
munication.
Reports from Piedras Negras indi-
cate the Villa forces in possession of
Monclova are repairing the railroad be-
hind them before marching north.
Gen. Carranza's agency here today
announced receipt of advices that $500
troops were moving to Join other Car
rama troops in a general attack on
Monterey.
'The Zapatistas have been routed
from Zoutuitlan and Tehua can, sub
urbs of Mexico City. suffering heavy
losses," the agency announced. 1T is
absolutely false that Mexico City has

UNDERWOOD TALKS
. TO THE ROTARY CLUB
Says American Public Must
Buy Railroad Securities
to Bring Prosperity


II the American public win support the
railroads of the country by buying their
securities the return of prosperity will be
steady and soon, stated Oscar w Under
wood, United States senator from Ala
bama, in making few remarks before
the Rotary club at the weekly luncheon
yesterday.
Mr.. Underwood spoke only few words,
but said that he supposed the Rotarians
would want to know his opinion of bust
ness and began by stating that there was
now no money in Europe to finance the
railroads of this country. as had been the
practice in the past.
Prosperity depends on the railroads."
he said, land if the American people will
support these great corporations by buy
ing their securities prosperity will soon
return to the country in every line of bush
ness"
Senator Underwood stated that of course
the direct cause of the depression in the
south was cotton and expressed the hope
that the staple would continue to rise in
price, but not to such an extent that the
southern farmer would be encouraged to
again plant all his lands in cotton. He
stated that the crop must be curtailed by
diversified farming in the south.
The Rotarians lunched earlier than usual
and then went to Redwood field in
body to attend the opening baseball game.
