OF
CONTROL BOARD
PUT ON STAND
Denies State Supplies Were
Bought Without First OBJ
tanning Competitive Bids,
as Provided by Law.
BY a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, April s.-The legislative
committee investigating affairs OF
the Board of Control examined Sec.
rotary Leo Matthews of the board
Saturday.
Matthews testimony related prin-
clpally to the methods employed by
the board in purchasing supplies for
the state institutions. He vigorous
ly denied the board had purchased
any considerable amount of supplies
without first securing competitive
bids as provided by law.
He introduced tabulation for
1918, showing that with the exccp-
ton of the coal bought, out of a
total of $1,095,S7243, the board had
bought only $7,263.93 without first
asking for bids. Matthews said that
when the board did not advertise
for bids in the press, it sent out no.
tees to ESQ possible bidders, and
usually about 50 per cent of the
firms submitted bids.
The reason a larger per centage
did not bid, Matthews testified, was
because the state bought its goods
on such close margin.
Representatives Snow and Mat
thews engaged in a heated argument
as a result Of question which Snow
put.
Snow had asked Matthews II the

Mr.. Stevens, when asked about the
dangers OF flying. "But these acc;-
dents occurred over the flying
fields, and were mostly the result of
collisions in the clouds. Personally

never had a mishap, although | al
ways will remember the few close

For Business Only.
"Dr. Brewster will only use the
aeroplane on his longer business
trips. A trip to Atwood, Kans., for
instance, would only take us about
an hour by the air route. For short
journeys, on the other hand the
automobile is far more practical and
economical.
I'VE are going to give everybody
an opportunity to have a ride in the
clouds. Our charge will be SIS for
short exhibition flight; and you
get your money back, if you don't
come down.
we expect to have the machine
in flying trim by the first of May, if
not sooner. If the aeroplane gets
here in time for the Victory Liberty
Loan drive we'll use the machine to
boost the sale of bonds"

Beaver City, Neb., April 5,-(Spe-
cial)--The first privately owned
aeroplane in the state of Nebraska
was ordered last week by DR.. F. A.
Brewster, who will use the machine
in calling on the patients of his ex-
tensive practice. The aeroplane will
be shipped from the factory in about
week. ,~ Wade Stevens, former
lieutenant and instructor in the
United States army, will assemble
and adjust the machine as soon as it
arrives and will act as pilot for the
doctor.
The machine was ordered from
the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor
corporation, New York, and will
come in sections. 1t will take about
two weeks to assemble and adjust
it. A site for starting ground has
been secured and the construction of
a hangar will soon be under way.
Bi-Plane Type. ...
The aeroplane is OF the bip,ane
type and is called the Curtiss model
JN-4D-2 Tractor. The wing span of
the upper plane is 43 feet 7 inches,
while the length OF the machine
is q feet inches. The weight of
the machine when empty is 1880
pounds and it can carry a weight of
$50 pounds including the pilot and
one passenger. The maximum speed

cepting the bidders word for it that
the goods were better than those Of

joke. ..

Matthews explained that if a deal
er was known to be reputable and
gave the board his word that his
product met the requirements, t was
accepted. If tests indicated the
goods were not up to standard, they
were never bought again, he said.
In buying bed spreads Matthews
admitted that the specifications
state that only one spread vii, be
accepted by the board. This spread
is made by only one manufacturer,
he said, but handled by practically
every dealer.

price is $4,000.
Lieut.. Stevens is thoroughly famil-
lar with this type of aeroplane,
which was used for training and in
struction in all aviation camps IN the
United States.
Wade Stevens, son of County At
torney John Stevens, enlisted in the
aviation branch of the United States
army on June 20, 1917. and was sent
to the Champaign, ILL.,, ground
school, where he studied aviation
theoretically for two months. He
was then transferred to the Kelly
Field flying school, near San An
tonic. Here he received his COM
mission after his first flying test.
For seven months Lieutenant Stew
ems acted as flying instructor and
spent total q more than $50 hours
in the air.
Lands in France.
On September %, 1918, he landed
in France and attended the Third
Aviation Instruction center at IS
soulun, the largest flying school in
the world, $50 miles south of Paris
His only regret is thai he never had
an opportunity to take part in a
combat at the front His services
as instructor were considered toe
valuable by his superior officers and
he was not permitted to take any
chances.
