(From n Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Jan. 6, (Special.) In
spector General James A. Olmsted of tho
Iowa National Guard, in his annual re
port, makes ,i number ot scnsatlonnl criti
cisms and recommendations, Ho denounces
most severely the company commanders
for rowdyism, which has been permitted
nt encampments. "Thcro nro certain or
ganizations in the guard," ho says In the
report, "that It Is not safe for a railway.
company to transport, especially homo
from an encampment. Such companies
next year, should be deprived of the privi
lege of cnuip or mustered out of the serv
ice. There ar-i always a few men In our
enmps who do not seem to care that their
disgraceful nets bring the whole guard Into
disrepute. It Is usunlly Impossible to lo
cate theso rftenders personally, but their
company Is readily ascertainable and the
company commander should bo held re
sponsible for tho actions of his company.
If he cannot properly command and con
trol his men, ho should be court-martlaleJ
and dismissed from tho service. A few
examples will mnkc captains moro careful
and discriminating iti the material th'.-y
enlist,"
Women Out of the Cum p.
Colonel Olmsted would banish women
from tho camps of the Iowa National Guard.
"If they do not know or care," ho says'
"that they aro a nuisance and a detriment
to tho good work nnd benefit expected of
the camp, they have so far unsoxed them
selves as to bo for once on nn equality
with men nnd should bo plainly ordored to
stay out of camp. They becomo a nuisance
as soon as they leavo homo with a com
mand, crowding the cars to the discomfort'
of tho men, nnd In camp they not only
crowd the grounds, but cat to tho detriment
of tho company messes, and I havo ncv.ir
heard of their 'chipping In' to help out the
mess." Colonel Olmsted also denounces
tho presenco of the Young Men's Christian
association in camp, nnd snys, "It Is not
required in camp either to handle mall
or advertise Itself on elaborate letter
heads erroneously printed." He would also
abolish the sutlers asr the ration Is suffi
cient for tho authorized enlisted forco In
ramp and docs not need to bo "eked out
with poor cca, Ice crenm and so-called
'soft drinks' that aro worse than slops and
ruinous to the stomachs."
Htnlc Arseunl null Cnuip Ground.
The Inspector general also recommends
thot the state purchase a permanent camp
ground, not In tho lnimedlnto vicinity of
any city or village, and he would have
the state build an arsenal on tho grouud
now owned by tho stnte for that purpose.
A number of changes In the military code
aro recommended and several new com
panies should be organized, Including a
number of troops of cavalry and batteries
of nrtlllery. lc recommends that tho coin-mandor-ln-chlef
select his staff of officers
of tho guard who have' been conspicuous
for efficient service. Tho adjutant gcnoral
should havo full control of the camps.
Mounted ofllcers should bo required to drill
at least ono hour n day In cajnp. Tho re
port highly commends the men ot tho
guard.
Seiul-OrT for Sccrclnry Slimv.
Members of tho Grant club of Des Moines
havo been assured by Governor Leslie M.
Shaw that ho will return from Washington
In time to attend tho banquet to bo givon

legislators who are to be at tho opening
the next week will havo arrived In tho
city and a great many Iowa politicians.
Tho Grarit club banquet In honor of Shaw

will of Iowa people for him. Governor A.
B. Cummins has Accepted nn Invitation to

Identity of Hliercleff.
The right namo of Frank ShorcllIT, alias
Burke, Cummlngs and McCoy, has been di
vulged hero. At tho tlmo Shercllff asked
to bo allowed to return to Iowa about one
year ago he fold of having two brothers
living in Iowa and said ho would go to
them. Theso were W. H. and Homer Mor
riB, who live near Melbourne, In. Sher
cllff said his real name was Sherman
Morris, nnd this proved to be true. Ills
father, William Morris, had lived near Mel
bourne, but died n few years ago. The two
brothers who remained thoro havo become
prominent farmers and stock dealers nnd
aro prosperous. Thoy took Shermnn Mor
ris in and cared for him, giving him work
and assisting him In ovory way. Not until
a few years ngo did they know that Sher
cleff, tho diamond robber, was tholr
brother. Their mother, who was still liv
ing, was nearly heart-broken. She hns
since married again and now lives near
Cnlnsvlllo, Mo. Whllo living with his
brothers near Melbourne, Shcrcleff, or Mor
ris, mndo regular reports to Sheriff Shoo
maker of Marshull county nnd quite fre
quently visited him.
