—Aviation—--11,000 BIDE IN AIRPLANES; NO ONE ISJNJURED Travel 430,Q00 Miles During 1928 From City Ports; 60 Craft Here. This is the second of several articies bv Lowell B. Nussbaum, Indianapolis Times aviation editor, upon a survey of what has happened in the aviasion industry in Indianapolns during the past year. BY LOWELL B. NUSSBAUM Times Aviation Editor Eleven thousand persons soared away from Indianapolis airports during the last year in planes which traveled 430,000 miles —equal to seventeen times around the world. Not a passenger was injured. These figures stand among the • most convincing in a survey which shows that Indianapolis has made amazing progress in one short year in opening her arms to and nurturing the infant industry, aviation. This mileage does not include the many thousand miles flown by nearly fl/ty army reserve and Indiana National Guard fliers at Schoen field, Ft. Benjamin Harrison, and at Indianapolis airport, Mars Hill, the National Guard airport. 100 Aviation Pupils Passengers in pleasure hops from local ports have ranged in age from 1 to 96 years. Three generations rode in one plane last fall. Despite a late start, local air schools have soloed more than forty student pilots, including two women, in the last year, and more than 100 enthusiasts are taking aviation instruction here at the present time, v/hereas a year ago but a handful of young men were preparing to learn to fly. Sixty airplanes, conservatively valued at more than $275,000, are owned here to operate from the four Indianapolis airports, two-thirds of .these planes having been acquired within the last year. City Centrally Located Indianapolis is within twenty-five hours of practically any point in the United States through air mail service offered by the Embry-Riddle Company. The Cincinnati - IndianapolisChicago mail line, opened Dec. 22, 1927, connects at Chicago with the transcontinental lines, permitting overnight delivery of mail to New York and to points as far south as Texas, with twenty-five-hour service to Los Apgeles and San Francisco, Cal. Work of lighting the airway between Chicago and Indianapolis has been started. This will permit night flying. Airport Attracts Industries With acquisition of a 950-acre municipal airport, it is expected aviation industries may be attracted here. The size of the field, in addition to providing longer runways wth a greater safety factor, affords space on the edges which can be leased to aviation industries requiring a flying field in their work. Many inquiries have been received by the Chamber of Commerce from airplane companies. Establishment of Transcontinental Air Transport, Inc., 48-hour, coast-to-coast air-rail passenger line, with Indianapolis as a stop, will add to this city’s prestige as an air center. Indianapolis was selected as a stopping point on the route, because of its logical location on the air map, by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, technical advisor for the company. The air-rail route is expected to be started about May 1. Plan All Air Service A still faster, through, all air service later, between Columbus and the Pacific coast cities, involving night flying, is planned by T. A. T. Local arrangements for the transcontinental service will be handled by the Curtiss Flying Service of Indiana, Mars Hill airport. A number of airplanes are distributed here and throughout the state by local companies. Hoosier airport is Indiana representative for Travel Air biplanes and monoplanes. Capitol Airways, Inc., is distributor for both Ryan monoplanes and Eaglerock biplanes. Sell Airplanes Curtiss Flying Service of Indiana is sales representative for all Curtiss aviation products, including Curtiss Robin monoplanes, other

INMAN SCANDAL. SETS HIGH MARK IN BLASE RENO Minister’s Daughter Divorce Case Holds Record for 'Spicy’ Testimony. Bji United Press RENO, Ncv., March 23.—Many dramatic and romantic stories have graced court records of Reno, but it generally was agreed today that for action and spicy testimony the divorce case of Mr. and Mrs. Inman, prominent New Yorkers, has had no local equal. Inman, who started the suit, accused his wife, the daughter of a Kokomo, Ind., minister, of being ad- - dieted to the use of liquor and associating with other men. And because the sensational ** charges were livelier than anticipated when the separation agreement was signed, Mrs. Inman countered with a plea for a divorce in her own name and $250,000 in cash. Bars “Goat Getter” Letter Identification of a letter written by Mrs. Inman to a man called “Bill Grant” furnished a high light late Friday, although Mrs. Inman, on the stand as a witness, declared she did not and never intended to mail the note. It was written as a sort of a "goat getter” after Mrs. Inman's nose was injured during a quarrel with her husband, she intimated. The note, Mrs. /Inman told the court, was torn up find she then related complaints of her husband, because of the labor he was put to in piecing the torn bits of paper together. Charges Affair With a Dancer Charles Miller, chauffeur and formerly employed by the Inmans, proved to be a. witness against both parties. He testified that Mrs. Inman was so intoxicated at ! times that he acted as a maid and undressed her and put her to bed. Miller also added a point to Mrs. Inman’s case by claiming that Juva Marconi, noted dancer and Reno divorcee, was a frequent visitor to Inman's apartment, lunching with him often during the three months he was living hero qualifying as a Navada resident.
