TO TAKE TRAINS OFF.
Foundation Is Found For Recent
Rock Island Rumors.

At a conference of General Passen'
ger Agent L. M. Allen, of the Rock
Island, Division Passenger Agent $,
f. Boyd, of Davenport, and other of.
ficials of the line held at Des Moines
Saturday, preliminary arrangements
were made for a reduction in the pas,
senger services on some of the branch.
es in Iowa. No announcements will
be made concerning the proposed
changes until Mr.. Allen has an oppor.
tunity to consult the other officials in
Chicago.
The officials agreed that no reduc.
ton should be made on the main line
in Iowa, and it is believed that the
higher officials will abide by the re,
commentator of the officers at the
conference.
Owing to the uncertainty of the pro
posed changes, Mr.. Allen would not
say what reductions were contem
plated However, it was learned
from other officials that Nos. 472 and
AIS on the Des Moines-Keo branch
might be taken off. No. 472 leaves
Des Moines at 1920 p. m. and ar
rives at Oskaloosa at 2:40 p. m
No. AIS leaves Eldon at 6:10 a. m
and arrives here at lis p. m. In
case these trains are taken OFF the
