CLAIM RYAN OVER
 AGE FOR FIREMAN ].
Municipal Record Listed Him at
 36, Investigators Find

A compilation of data to assist the common councils committee In it's of fire board appoint ments has disclosed the fact that the aged of Joseph F. Ryan was given as 36 years at the time a previous fire board made an unsuccessful at tempt to have his appointment sane tioned.
 The age limits were the same then as now, between the ages of 2l and 35 years. Friends of Ryan claim he was denied admission to the regular department because he had reached the age of 35, and they say Corpora tion Counsel John H. Kirkham ruled no one who becomes 35 is eligible. kirkham several weeks ago gave the to the effect that an applicant is eligible until he becomes S6 years of age.

Shoe Polish by the Ton
 Being Shipped to India

Calcutta, India, Feb. 24 R - Shoe polish by the ton is coming here from England to meet the de- sire of Indian natives in cities and towns to "outshine" their neigh bors in the matter of footwear.
 Until a few years ago compara- lively few Indians wore shoes. Eu- ropean footwear became popular first in Calcutta, Bombay and the other cities, gradually spreading throughout the continent. At first the natives never thought of shin- ing their shoes, but now it has be- come a fetish, and every native takes the greatest pride in keeping his shoes glistening to the highest degree.
 The more perfect the shoe shine. the native believes, the greater the envy of all his fellow beings.

WELD APPROVES OF LICENSE RETURNING
Believes Hinchline and Barry
 Should Turn Them in

T. W. Hinchliffe and J. P. Barry, licenses without taking test, should turn in their certificates cnd qualify in the same manner as other trades men, Mayor Weld declared today.
 Hinchliffe, a member of the build ing commission and Barry. former commissioner, comprised the board of examiners, with Cyril J. Curtin, former inspector At the first ses- sion they issued licenses to them selves since there was nobody In existence before which they could appear. Curtin has since returned his. but Barry and Hinchcliffe hold theirs. A special committee of the common council recommended that tests be required of everyone before a license issues and the common council approved the suggestion by unanimous vote. Mayor Weld has signed the resolution. With these facts in mind the commissioners met Monday night and held a brief dis cussion, after which the matter was tabled for one week. Hinchliffe was present, but did not say whether he would relinquish the license. Barry, not being member of the present board, has not figured in the discus sion.
 Both Hinchliffe and Barry have signified their willingness to quit the board of examiners in compliance with another suggestion of the in vestigators. This recommendation is predicted on the fact that the two, being active contractors, are now cal d upon to pass on the qualifica- tions of competitors. Mayor Weld ais approves this change for the same reason, although he has faith In the ability and fairness of both Hinchliffe and Barry, he says.

SEWARD.A 1. POST LAUNCHES DRIVE
 FUR MEMBERSHIP
INCREASE OVER HUNDRED PER CENT IN THE LAST TWO
 MONTHS

Last night at the Seward Grill one of the most enthusiastic meetings in the local post of the American Legion formulated and discussed plans for an extensive and intensive membership drive The present membership, which incidentally has increased more than 100 per cent in the past two months, will be divided into two teams, and every eligible prospect in Seward and it's environs will be per sonally interviewed with the view of bringing him into the fold or at least within the influence of the Legion. The local post has taken on re- newed life. It is now going con- cern and expects to take it's proper place as a leader in the community life of Seward. It's purpose is Service service to the community, state and nation The members gave service while they were members of the armed forces of the United States in the World war They intend to continue to give the same service in time of peace At last nights meeting the same spirit that animated future Le- gionaires on the Somme and in the Meuse-Argonne offensive manifested itself and assured victory in the pres ent plans of the Legion, as it did in those trying days of 1917,1S
 Eligibility to membership in the Le- zion is defined in it's constitution as i follows: Any person shall be eligi- ble for membership in The American Legion who was regularly enlisted, drafted, or inducted or commissioner and who was accepted for and assign ed to active duty in the army, navy CT Morine Corps of the United States at some time during the period be- tween April G. 1917, and November Ii, 1918, both dates inclusive, or who be- ing a citizen of the United States at the time of his entry therein, served on active duty in the naval, military or air forces of any of the govern ments associated with the United States during the great war; provided that no person shall be entitled to membership (a) who, being in the army, navy or Marine Corps of the United States during said period re- fused on conscientious, political or other grounds to subject himself to military discipline or unqualified ser vice, or (b) who, being in such ser vice, was separated therefrom under circumstances amounting to dishon- orable discharge and has not subse- questly been officially restored to an honorable status.'
 In subsequent issues of this paper an effort will be made to acquaint | the public with the reasons for the existence of the American Legion and to set forth it's aims and purposes.

GIANT SW|NDLE
OF U. S.LA|D TO
naval OFFICER
Justice Agents Assert Land
Worth Two Millions Is
Obtained for $201.
BY KENNETH WATSON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. = The
amazing story of how naval lieu
tenant obtained Government prop
erty worth 100000 in Porto Rico
for $2O1 by a clever scheme will be
probed by Congress to ascertain If
higher officials were involved.
The transactions also are being
investigated by Assistant United
States Attorney General Oscar Luh-
ring, with view to criminal prose-
cutions. The Department of Justice
has succeeded in restoring the prop
erty to the Government through
equity proceedings in the Federal
court of Porto Rico.
This proceeding disclosed that
former Lieutenant Virgil Baker
gained possession Of some Of the
most valuable land in San Juan by
a series of clever Misrepresentation
to the Navy Department.
Gets Land Transfer
Before the war Baker, a retired
naval officer, was inspector of hulls
at San Juan. He asked for active
duty and on April 6, 1917, was put
in charge of the San Juan radio
station, continuing to draw his SAL
airy from both the Department Of
Commerce and the Navy Depart
ment in disregard Of law.
An area of almost twenty acres
containing the famous San Geroni-
mo castle belonged to the War De-
partment. Representing that it was
vitality needed by the Navy, Baker
succeeded in having it transferred
ito quarter marines" When the
marines arrived, however, they were
not CHARTERED in the castle, but lived
in tents on Army property.
Obtaining San Geronimo castle
for his own use and having the
property transferred to the Navy
Department, Lieut.. Baker several
months later asked Secretary of
Navy JoSephus Daniels to approve a
lease transferring a small section
to himself so he could build resi-
dence. On August 26, 1919, the
Navy Department transferred this
tract, which really contained almost
twenty acres, to Baker for five years.
Puts Over Other Deals
Baker then represented that land
owned by the Lula Sugar COMPANY
some miles from San Juan was
needed for a distant control radio
