proportions between United States
Coast Guard officers and the Detroit
River and Lake Erie rum runners Is
expected by Chief Of Police Harry

"There'll be big row on the river

Strangers Swarm Town.
Anaherstburg, recognized By the

the down-river rum crews, Is swarm

although a few OF them may be "un-
der-cover" men for the United States

He suspects the rum crew lying in

armed or are arIning with Lewis guns

BOY STOWAWAY NEARLY HALTED
YELLOW BIRDS OCEAN FLIGHT
Arthur Schneider AStonished
by Voices in Strange
Tongue.
Speaks of Three French Fly
ers and Himself
as "We."
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
| COMILLAS, Santander Spain, June
15.-Youthful Arthur Schneider, stow
away on the Yellow Bird, was perhaps
the most lost individual In all Spain
when he stepped 10 the beach at
Oriambre yesterday after his stolen trip
across the Atlantic.
| He seemed perturbed until he felt the
! ground beneath his feet and then his
! face became wreathed in smiles. The
smiles faded and were replaced by
| look of blank establishment as he heard
| hundreds of voices about him clanoring
| in Spanish, which he did not under
stand and the aYiators answering in
French which he did not understand
either.
Arnleno Lotti, financial hacker of the
flight, and one Of the three others
aboard. introduced him to the crowd
as. "our unlooked-for pilot" = single
NJ. Lotti was smiling, but Assolant. the
pilot, took the matter more seriously.
Considered Turning Back.
I'VE considered turning back during
| the few minutes we were circllng over
| Old Orchard after we found him with
US, but when We saw the accident TO
better keep on our way.
once we were in the air we stuck
him in a corner where he concealed
himself before the start and he stayed
| there all night. We shared our sand
| witches and fruit with him. of course
We had not calculated gasoline to carry
| him. but here he Is the little rascal"
The senoritas of Comillas when they
discovered Just what young Schneider
had done found him fully as attractive
as the older aviators and his lack Of
| Spanish proved no deterrent to amicahle
| relations with them.
During the visit to Santander this
morning Schneider spoke Of himself and
! the three aviators as I'VE" and even
his French companions smiled. Assolant
was explaining to him In his limited
English what the spectators had to say
about the failure to reach Paris.
"Oh, we'll" the youth remarked. "I'n
| tell the world we're on the other side
! of the Atlantic. aren't we? How
about that" Then he added, Anyway
we have plenty Of time to get to Paris
after we get some gas"
Fiipped Coin for Plane.
Schneider said he and his friend
| fipped a coin to see which each would
| take. He drew the Yellow Bird and
crawled into the tail cavity, where he
| was sheltered from casual view by
struts and the baggage. He and his
friend previously had reconnoitered and
remarked that there was room for q
person IN the tail, noticing also that
none of the aviators ever seemed to look
back there.
He planned to 60 aboard just before
the aviators reached the plane to pre-
pare for a start. He knew there were
people about who might see him. but he
boldly got in and took his chance.
He said his ride was not always
pleasant, but he was decidedly glad to
get his feet on earth again. He added
he was ready now for q parade In Paris
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-15

and the welcoming yells OF thousands
who expected TO greet ''us."
Rene LIE Fevre told the Associated
Press correspondent:
HE came creeping out from the tail
of the ship. He was on his knees at
first. but when finally he stood Up he
had sea legs and swayed from side to
side
I'VE would have been people OF little
heart If we had turned back and put
him off. ughingly-"thrown him
overheard as we made him believe we
were going to do.
as nothing compared with the treplda-
ton we felt for him and the assurance
we had that II something happened We
would be blamed for not having put
him off,"
Lott Was Indignant
Armeno Lott said: If I have not
committed q crime on this voyage
shall never commit one My indigna-
ton when saw the boy crawling out
from the tail Of the plane was so great
I was much tempted to throw him off
and tighten our load, which was Just
sufficient to keep us from achieving our
goal
The youth knew few words of Spanish.
With those few he told some who talked
to him he was O vaudeville actor and
that his parents were from Budapest.
He said he hid in the tail of the plane
on the night prior to the flight.
He was unable TO sleep ali last night,
the clamor Of the little towns in
habttants outside the hotel keeping all
four awake.
