u. S. NAVY OFFICER
LOSES LEASE RIGHTS
Lieut.. Comdr. Baker Ordered to
Vacate Old Spanish Fortress
Occupied for 10 Years.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. Septem-
Der 5.-Lieut. Comdr. Virgil Baker.
L. S. n, retired, must vacate the old
Spanish fortress at San Geronimo,
which he has occupied for 10 years.
and for which he holds a 999-year
lease from the Navy Department.
A notification from the courts some
days ago to vacate did not move
Comdr Baker. This was followed by
the issuance of writ of possession,
and Baker is expected to withdraw
this week.
Last November Chief Justice Del
Toro, in the Supreme Court of Porto
Rico, ruled in a suit brought by the
Government to cancel the lease, that
it had been obtained through fraud
and misrepresentation. Papers for an
appeal to the First Circuit Court of
Appeals in Boston are being prepared
and Baker has continued his oc-
cupancy despite the adverse decision.
President Coolidge recently issued
an executive order transferring the
whole of the San Geronimo Reserya-
ton, of which Baker held about 20
acres, from the Navy back to the
Army, but no reference was made to
the pending litigation over Bakers
lease.

INTEREST CENTERS
ON TREASURY PLAN
Conditions of Cotton, Wheat
and Corn to Be Revealed in
U. S. Reports This Week.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.


NEW YORK, September 5.-With
the stock exchanges and commercial
markets Of the country observing the
Labor day holiday 9 today, interest
was centered on the developments of
the week that are expected to have
decided bearing on stocks, bonds, cot
ton and grain for the remainder of the
year.
The first and most important of
these will be the announcement tOmor.
row of the program of the u. S. Treas
urY in regard to the retirement of the
outstanding $1,000, 100000 Second Lib
erty Az per cent bonds. AS the 33s
per cent Government issue closed on
Saturday at a substantial premium
over the subscription price Of 10012
it is expected that Secretary Mellon
will offer holders the opportunity to
take a short note on between 3h and
81 per cent basis.
The condition of cotton, wheat and
corn on September will be revealed
in the Government crop reports due
during the week. The preliminary es-
Inmates do not Offer much encourage
ment for those who had hoped to see
an increase in the yield of cotton in
August after the serious damage done
in July Prices have to a large ex-
tent discounted shrinkage in the
yield during the month. There will
also be smaller Spring wheat con
dition figure than month ago, due to
the ravages of black rust. On the
other hand the indications point to
some gain in corn inspte of generally
cool weather over the corn belt.
Another of the forthcoming trade in.
dicators is that of the untitled tonnage
figures of the United States Steel Cor
poration. August was dull month
in the steel industry. The expectation
is that the tonnage record will verify
this fact In showing a small decrease.
