Des Moines, Dec. 1.-THE locomo-
tive department of the Rock Island
railroad shops at Valley Junction was
closed and 100 men thrown out of
work temporarily.
Notice of this step on the part of
surprise to the railroad employees, for
it is the first time in number of years
that a shop has been almost entirely
closed.
Heretofore, whenever officials found
retrenchment necessary, the forces
were reduced, the men youngest in
service being laid off from work
There were reports in the suburb that
within a short time the car shops also
would be closed. This would mean
that 200 more men would be without
employment. The reports, however,
were denied by Des Moines officials Of
the company.
"The Prince" New Character.
"The Prince" said to be G. H. York

containing SO and signed "The
Prince" had bsen mailed from Colfax
in January, 1912, to 81. B. Edwards"
Des Moines. This letter was never
claimed, and consequently was sent to
the dead letter office, which returned
it to Colfax. There the fact that a
letter signed '"The Prince" was on
hand, was advertised, and it was an
nounced that the $40 would be re-
turned to the writer who could prove
his identity. York, it was declared
claimed this letter. This has started
a new lead in the investigation.
