BAR LONG
TIMEFLOUR
CONTRACTS
Mills Will Not. Guarantee
Supply Beyond Jan. l
Because of Prices

Long time contracts for -four to the
bakers of the city are not being made
by local mills, no cont1ict being made
for longer than Jan. 1 The result is
the bakers cannot stoclsup In anticipa =
tion of further advances e>en. if they
cared to do so.
The millers are refusing long time
contracts on flour owiig to a possi-
bility of a break in tie price, which
would make the bakeripay for -four
considerably above theimarket price.
The bakers are not ANXIOUS for these
contracts owing to a nssibility of a
break in price which wosld leave them
with -four bought at 81 d 50 above the
prevailing price.
The result Is that the bakers do not
care to, and could not iSthey wished.
prepare for further advnces in -four,
which they contend will rive them to
a raise In the prices of lead with an
increase of 80 cents ove the market
of yesterday.
They are "up against itsand all thew
can do Is to keep supplid at prevail
ing market prices and Se in hopes
that the market will go Down. They
do not want to raise prizes except at
last resort and prefer d only break
even for time rather tan institute
another increase.

ABANDON SUMMER CAMPS.
National Guardsnen Have Little OPP

National Guardsmen Have Little OPP
rportunity For Training.
Special to Times Republican.
Des lMoines, May 20.-Owing to
lack of instructors. the war depart
ment at Washington has called Off
every one Of the camps usually held in
the summer when national guard OFF,
GERS and troops can get special train
ing, except one, and it probably will
be given up. The national guard off,
GERS and troops will have to get along
without any training from regular
army officers this season, according to
present indications.
Yesterday General Guy E. Logan re-
ceived word from the war department
that the camps of instruction for Of
ficerS and non-commiSSioned officers
and for the medical corps had been
called off. A few days ago he received
similar word with regard to drill for
machine gun companies. These camps
are usually held at Sparta, Wis, Toby
hanna. Pa, and Monterey Cal. The
regular army, however is finding need
for all Of it's officers in other duties
this summer.
National guard officers for the most
part are especially anxious for train
ing this summer as many of them feel
they may possibly be called on for SER
vice on the border or elsewhere.
In response to a letter sent out by
General Logan, May s. to the officers
Of the Iowa National Guard, with ref
erence to recommendations for candi-
dates to take the examination for West
Point, fifteen candidates have already
been nominated. The governor has
been asked to select not to exceed
three from the names recommended or
nominated by the guard officers. These.
three will then take an examination at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

CAPTAIN OF DAVENPORT BAT
Terry ACCUSED OF EM5Ez-
ELEMENT OF STATE FUNDS.
WARRANT SWORN OUT
BY LoGAN's ASSISTANT
Dan r. Evers Accused Of Failure to
Account For $685. Of State Funds
Bonding Company Makes Shortage
Good-Evers Said to Be in Virginia.
Will BE Arrested.

Davenport, May 20.-An information
charging Dan F. Evers, former captain
of Battery B, with making false re-
ports regarding the funds Of the bat
terry to Adjutant General Guy E. Lo-
gan, was filed before Justice Phil
.Daum. The information is signed by
Major f. E. Lucas, assistant to the
adjutant general, and was filed by
County Attorney Henry II. Jebens.,
The information charges Evers with
reporting to the adjutant general that
the sum Of $1,S35 had been deposited
in the North Harrison Trust & Savings
Bank. An investigation of this report,
it Is claimed, was made which revealed
that the money had not been deposited
by the former captain. This report is
alleged to have been made while Mr..
Evers was captain of the battery and
in charge Of the funds. Several days
ago this amount was paid over to the
battery by Evers' bonding company.
Evers Leaves City. -
A short tIne after resigning the
command of the battery Eyers left
Davenport for Virginia where he now
resides A warrant for his arrest has
been forwarded to his present place Of
residence. He will be brought back
to Davenport to face the charges.
). At the time Evers resigned it was
reported that the funds of the battery
were in bad shape. 1t was claimed at
that time that, altho there was no
shortage, Evers had caused the bat
terry funds and his own funds to be-
come mixed. An investigation of the
matter. it is claimed, resulted in the
discovery Of the shortage which the
adjutant general claims was reported
to be on deposit, in the bank 1t is
probable that an officer will be sent
to return with Evers as \soon as he is
arrested -.
