LACK OF FUNDS STILL HAMPERS
CFrom "a staff correspondentA

(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Aug. 6.-CSpecisL 1.-THE first
public flight Of the Nebraska National
Guard aviation corps took place last
night at the aviation camp at the state
fair grounds.
The Nebraska guard Is the first state
guard to organize the new method OF
warfare and the flight last night was in
every way a success The corps Is COM
posed Of units with each having che ma
chine. Tho corps is in charge of Captain
Shaffer who has one machine in charge
of corps unit No. ?. The other unit is
in charge Of Captain Mcmillan, who, like
Captain Shaffer. is an experienced flyer.
Captain Ia Delayed.
Captain Sheffer has been delayed con-
siderably in the assembling OF his ma
chine, but Captain Mcmillan brought
with him to the camp his own machine
ready for action and last night a large
crowd of people witnessed two fine
flights, the captain going up nearly 1900
feet and dropping bombs in an effort 10
show the crowd the methods used in
aerial warfare Either of the bombs
dropped would have done terrible execu~
tion to battery, war ship or body OF
men.
Accidents to Mcmillan.
Captain Mcmillan has had two acct
dents since his entry into aviation, tnce
he dropped 400 feet and sustained a
broken shoulder, while another drop
broke leg in two places. However, such
things do not seem to have lessened his
grdor in the cause and when he heard
that General Hall had organized an avi-
alton adjunct to the Nebraska guard he
wired him from his home in Iowa that his
services and machine vera at the call of
the general. Glad to secure such valu-
able assistant to Captain Shaffer General
Jjall wired him to come. Captain Shaffer
receives no ray other than his board.
The same can be said of the two dozen
militia men who have offered their serv-
ices In the aviation school. They come
from different companies of the Ne
brasla guard and receive nothing but
their board.
MOrehead Sees Flights.
Governor Morehead was present last
night and expressed himself as more than
pleased with the work that is going on.
Unfortunately the guard is badly cramped
for funds because of the pen1rious system
of the last legislature in refusing to APP
propriate funds sufficient. Had the guard
a thousand or two to put into this work
the chances are that Nebraska could
take the front rank along the lines of
military aviation.
Much of the success of the present
school must be given Captain Shaffer,
formerly instructor at the Curtis school
of aviation at San Diego. Cal. He has
taken an active interest in the work and
has already expended nearly 5000 for
material and other things which the Ne
braska school needed, from his own pri-
vate funds. AS partial recognition of
that service General Hall has commits
stoned him a captain in the National
Guard of the state and made him chief
of aviation.
Another flight will be made next Sun
day afternoon or evening.

THAW PLOTTERS
SOUGHT HERE
Prisoner Denies knowledge OF
New Conspiracy to Get Him
Out of State.

The second move to run down the
principals in the newest plot to smuggle
Harry X. Thaw out of the state was
taken yesterday. Search shifted to
New York. after verifcation from
Louis Weinrop, in Norfolk, Va, of his
letter to Frederick J. Groehl, deputy
assistant district attorney, that ne
had been approached with an offer or
1000 to take part in the conspiracy.
Frank Smith, detective in the en-
ploy of large New York agency, was
mentioned by Weinrop as the go
between. The agency mentioned repu-
dated Smith, saying that he never had
any connection with the concern.
The plan is to find the principals in
this second plot to free Thaw, which
was to be carried out with much more
melodramatic detail than the first. Al
Matteawan no strong-arm work was
necessary, the prisoner merely walking
out of the door of the institution, left
omen for the milkman, and Jumping
into an automobile furnished for the
escape.
The second delivery was to be exc
cuted right in the courtroom. Or
course. the favorable decision of JUS
tice Hendrck yesterday would have
made this attempt unnecessary, for 1t
has given Thaw new chance for a
legal release. The carrying out OF the
plot was contingent on the courts de-
cision against him and ordering him
back to Matteawan.
Thaw denied all knowledge Of the
reported plot, and said no one that he
knew had anything 10 do with 1t. II
there was anything like that planned
