IS RECALLED
cARRANzA ORDERS AMBASSADOR
ARREDoNDo TO LEAVE WASH
INeToN AT ONCE.
SEE BREAK IN RELATIONS
Officials Believe First Chief viii Re-
fuse to Agree to Protocol offered by
United States-Lanslng Admits Con-
ditions Are Serious.

Washington, Dec. 29.-General Car
rama, first chief of the Mexican de
factO government, has ordered EliSeO
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador desig-
nate, to withdraw from the United
States without delay.
This move, which has the aspect Of
a rupture of such diplomatic relations
as exist between the Mexican de facto
government and the United States, Gre
ated CONSERVATION among administra-
ton officials, who confessed they are
mystitied by the unheralded action.
Arredondo informed his associates Of
the order recalling him from Washing
ton and said that he would leave cards
at the state department in accordance
with diplomatic usage and depart for
Mexico City.
Carranza's move increases the alarm
of advisers of the president. They fear
that CarranZa, after all the surrender
ing to his demands by the president,
intends to rebuff the administration in
some spectacular manner.
Washington, Dec. 30.-One more ap-
peal for modification of the protocol
providing for the withdrawal of Amer
lean troops from Mexico is made by
General CarranZa in a message deliv-
cred TO Secretary Lane by Luis Cab
rera.
The Mexican first chief replied to
the insiStent American demand that
the protocol signed by his spokesmen
at Atlantic City be ratified with an
S00wOrd document, in which he failed
to accede to the demand, but refrained
from writing anything that could be
construed as Il fiat reputation.
The latest suggestions for changes
in the agreement now will be consid-
cred by the three American represent
atives-Secretary Lane, j. r. Mott and
Judge George Gray. Early next week,
ut joint session of the Mexican
American commission, the Americans
will give the MeNicans their answer.

BIG YEAR FOR ROADS
GREATEST PROSPERITY EVER
KNOWN FOR CARRIERS.
Eastern Roads Show the Largest
Profits In Record of Over
Billion Earned.

Washington, Dec. 27.-More than
Sl,000000,000 net income from opera
ti0ns was made by the railroads of
the country during the year now clos
ing. The huge total is the peak of
prosperity in railroad operations, and
stands more than one-third higher than
the total of 1913, hitherto the banner
year.
Statistics gathered by the interstate
commerce commission complete for
nine months and made the basis for
circulation for the entire year, indi-
cate that the total net income from
operations will be approximately ST.
O9SOOO,O00. For the first nine months
Of the year complete returns show
$7S5, sos, ,266. Even this does not rep
resent the full amount, as roads whose
income is less than $1,000,O00 are not
included.
Wide divergence in receipts among
the roads of various sections is dis
closed. The overburdened railroads
of the East have skinned the cream
of the traffic.

tiremen and Acting Chief L. B. Shep-
pard Of the conductors, abruptly left

gave out a statement in which he eX-
pressed the determination to await the
decision of the United States Supreme
court in the Adamson law test case.
If the law is upheld the railroads will
give the men back pay from January l,
Mr.. Lee Added.
The brotherhood chiefs were posi-
tive in their declaration that this

'Nomatter what we might think in

ayers were told, 1--WE cannot hold back
the men from striking If necessary to
win their rights. The men know that
unprecedented prosperity has come to
the railroads. They know that bonuses
are being given to workers in other
industries in every part Of the cOun-
try.
They feel that the president and
congress gave them the AdamsOn law
and intended it to go into effect Janu-
airy l, and they intend to secure their
rights under the AdamsDn law begin
