Three days out, officers found one
stowaway, Robert Lemier. negro from
Georgia, who wanted to be the first

only equipment for the long voyage was
an abundance of good nature. an old
Army knapsack, So and silver pencil
with which he planned to write the
story of his experiences. Physical unfit
ness and inadaptibility for work, how
ever, prompted Capt. Malville to turn
him over to the immigration authorities
here for return to the United States.
One member of the crew, William
Jennings Commins, who signed as
fireman, also will be returned to the
United States, because of his experience.
Huge stacks Of mail were awaiting the

University of Washington May Become
 Leader in AerOnautics.
Seattle post-Intelligencer. )

The largest single gift yet made by the Guggenhefm Foundation to any educational in- stitution for promoting the study of aviation has been awarded provisionally to the University of Washington.
 The Of $290,000 has been promised for construction on the campus of building to house a department of aircraft studies providing the State appropriates $75,000 for laboratory equipment and undertakes to supply funds for an adequate instruction and research staff.
 If the State Legislature fit to avail itself of this gift to the university. it is quite possible that Seattle would become of the principal centers for development of the science of aero nautics. There sound for this pre- dcton, well summed up in report which M. Lyle Spencer, President of the University, to- gether with staff of engineers and aircraft tech nieans prepared and presnted to the Guggen- helm Foundation. In this document it is claimed that
 1. Seattle is the nearest American city to without aircraft going farther than fifty miles from land during the entire flight by proceed ing via the Aeutian Islands
 ?. Seattle is the logical air and water gateway to the richest of Alaska and is the midway point between Alaska and California
 3. The University of Washington campus is in close proximity to what is destined to become one of the Nations most important Naval air bases, Sand Point Field, and to the plant of the Boeing Airplane Company whose products are internationally known.
 President Spencer has just announced that a department of aeroautics may be expected to start instruction by the fall term of 1929 The matter seems to depend almost altogether on the State Legislatures willingness to meet the terms of the Guggenhem award. These terms should be carefully studied
