Eugene Riggs Flies Ninety Miles In Ninety-Three Minutes In New Biplane.
E. A. Riggc, the son of William B. Riggs, of South Eighth street, is probably one of the youngest if not the youngest aeroplane designers in the United States. When Mr. Riggs as but twenty-one years of age, in 1913, he designed and constructed his first aeroplane, a monoplane which he sold to a private party. In the same year M^. 'Riggs completed another aeroplane, whicli proved to be a quite successful machine and in which several good flights were made, the first of which on July 4, 1913, when Aviator Weeks, of Linton, made a public flight at that place. Later this same machine was sole' to a syndicate in Linton and was used in many flight exhibitions, Riggs and Weeks traveling into the west flying in Iowa, Colorado and Wyoming.
The aeroplane in the picture is a machine which Riggs has just completed. The machine was designed, built fend flown in twenty-eight working days, the first flight beints made Friday, June 25, 1915. Eighteen subsequent flights have been made ranging all the way from twenty minute flights in Eagle Grove, Iowa, to ninety miles cross country. The plane has been unusually successful, and since it was tfrken from the factory no changes whatever have been necessary. Aviator Weeks, who is now located in Ea.gle Grove with the Weeks-Larson Aeroplane company, made an excellent ninety mile flight in ninety-three minutes non-stop at Des Moines, Iowa, July 5.
Riggs, who formerly lived in Shelburn, received all of his median.leal knowledge from individual work, and his keen understanding of motors, electricity, and all phases of mechanics seem to be an innate quality as he has only received a medicore education from outside sources having done practically all of his study and research work alone. He is at present but twenty-three years of age.
THAW EXPECTS FREEDOM.
Already Making Plans for Auto Trip to Exposition. NEW YORK, July 10.—Harry K. Thaw believes he already has proven his sanity to the jury sitting In judgment over him in Judge Hendrick's court. So confident is ha that he will be freed that he spent several hours tonight studying automobile road maps from New York to California. "When I am set free I probably will motor to California," he told officials at the Ludlow street jail.
Thaw saw none of New York's white lights tonight. Instead of repeating his visits to Broadway hotels in custody of Sheriff Griffin again, he ate a lonely meal in his cell, after a strenuous day in the jail handball courts. The sheriff this afternoon decided not to allow Thaw any more liberty until court reconvenes on Monday.
