State historical society officers at

A. E. Sheldon of the historical So

As outlined before the grand jury,
the various persons named as de-
PENDANTS in the present suit gave
their own notes or other security TO
the company in August, 1920, to
make good an apparent impairment
of its capital. A resolution OF the
directors declared these securities to
be contributions made TO the COM
pany without expectation of return
and without obligation on the COM
pany's part to return. Nevertheless,
the securities were returned. after an
auditor had approved the company's
financial showing.
The state claims that the return
was without authority of directors
or stockholders, as shown by the
company's records, and that the ac-
ton constituted conversion of the
assets to private use.

Air Mail Record
Central Division Holds Mile
age Record Since July 10
Eastern Leads Slightly
In Service.

! Air mail planes in service from
New York City TO San francisco
have made runs totallng 4s50O0
miles since July 10 OF this year,
without a single injury to a pilot
or mishap 10 a machine, according
TO A. +. Dunphy, chief OF the Chi
eago-Roek Springs division. and G.
l.. Connors OF Washington. d. c.,
who is in Omaha TO attend the In
ternational Aero congress as the
personal representatives OF the Post
Office department in Washington.
A recent report TO congress states
that the air mail schedules have been
more regular than railroad mail
trains. Mr.. Dunphy said. Although
the Eastern division from New
York TO Chicago led the other two
in expert service during the last
three months. according to an Off
eial report. the Central division from
Chicago TO Rock Springs, Wyo.,
covered the most mileage without
mishap and yet was only five-tcnths
per cent below the Eastern division
in service.
Service Report.
Following is the service report OF
the air mail divisions:
Division Miles Service Accidents
Eastern ......... $50 ss.5 None
Central .........i.i;s ~ None
Western ......... $50 ss None
The Eastern division has four
stopping places, the Central, five, and
the Western, four, Mr.. Dunphy said.
Washington officials are well
pleased with the record" declared
Mr.. Connors yesterday. Considering
the obstacles that the flyers must
overcome and the regular daily
schedules that Ahey have maintained
in the face OF high winds, rain, bliz-
yards and whatnot, the service is in
comparable"
1T has been a strictly business
proposition with the men in the air
mail service" stated Mr.. Dunphy.
Their days of thrills are over.
They've gotten down to the rcaliza-
ton that the carrying Of mail for
Uncle Sam is a duty.
Mail Service indispensable.
Records of the air mail service
have shown that it cannot be dis
pensed with" Mr.. Dunphy said. I'm
heavy SHOWS. rains or billiards,
when mail trains are held up for
hours at a time, the air mail flyers

So efficient has become the air
mail service that plans for building
planes at mail stations are now being
carried out. Omaha's first built mail
plane made its maiden flight week
ago to Cheyenne. The air mail serv-
ice is doing more toward the
progress of aviation in this country
than any other agency in the opinion
of Mr.. Dunphy.
