By Cable to The Star. SAN JUAN, P. R, December 5-— Gov. Theodore Roosevelt, who in 1921, | when he was Acting Secretary of the Navy, signed a 999-year lease of the Fort San Geronimo property Lieut. Comdr. Virgil Baker, U. 8. N., retired, said yesterday: “Since I have been here I have in- vestigated the matter thoroughly, dis- cussing it with various persons who have made it their study. Regardless of what may be the legal aspect, my judgment is that & mistake was made in granting the lease. If the Legisla- ture sees fit to provide for the institu- tion of condemnation proceedings, I will approve them.” President Hoover turned over the San Geronimo military reservation to the insular government in August. Chief Justice Emilio of the Porto Rico Su- preme Court, sitting in the Federal Court at San Juan in 1926, voided the lease because of fraud and misrepre- sentation, but absolved Mr. Roosevelt of responsibility because of his “short oc- cupancy of office.” The Circuit Court of Appeals at Boston reversed Judge del Toro and the Supreme Court at Washington refused early this r_to 1st One—You must've sold short to buy those new tires with Xmas com- ing on. 2nd One—It's knowing how and where to buy ‘em. 1st One—How come? 2nd One—Well, I could've charged 'em to my ac- count, but that'll be heavy this month, so L bought ’em on the Easy Pay-Way—(only $3.00 down, and the balance in easy payments)— and, best of all, they’re KELLY-SPRING- FIELDS, the very best, and they cost no more than ordinary kinds. 1st One—Where? 2nd One—Why, at annf.
