The third, opened today, was also attached by Federal agents. Attorney Is Surprised. Rose's attorney, former Magistrate Prederick J. Groehl, looked at the contents and gasped: “You couldn't buy the lot for $15.000." What today’s developments might bring in the bewildering search for the allegedly stolen treasure no official dared guess last night. But there were certain formalities threatening in the offing. For one thing, Gorelick, who was paroled after the‘discovery of the Jer- sey City cache, has threatened to sue Rose for $175,000. For another, the Emergency Relief Bureau is also con- sidering action to recover the $266 it expended on Rose as an indigent man. and his 92-year-old appraised its sparkling “trash” not worth more LEVIATHAN 1S ASKED AS EMERGENCY SHIP Army and Navy Express Desire to Retain Former Monarch of Seas.

WARRENTON, Va., January 14— George Washington of Mount Ver- non, in the County of Fairfax, in the | Colony of Virginia, used to pay his rent on Christmas day. A lease on record here in the clerk’s office of Fauquier County, signed by the first President’s own hand, attests this fact. It was drawn between Washington and Edward Westley, a carpenter, and provided for the rental of 130 acres of land near the lost mountain in the 3,112-acre Springfield tract. “This indenture, made the 15th day of March, 1774” . . . provides that . . . “the rent 2 pounds 10 shillings is to be paid at his (Washington's) dwell- ing house, in Fairfax County . . . due 25th day of December, 1777, and on the same day in each and every sue- ceeding year.” The paper further set forth that “within seven years from the date of this indenture . , . (Washington) ... will build or cause to be built a dwelling house at least 16 feet square, of good framed work, or of logs each hewed or sawed, with a stone chim- ney, and also a good barn 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, or other houses of equal value thereto.” But the lease, one of the few orig- ‘Inal ones bearing Washington’s signa- ture, didn't make any provision for the trouble Washington was to have the next year—April of '75—with some red-coated men from England. And it is not known whether Mr. Westley rode over to Mount Vernon on [P Christmas of "7 to collect his 2 pounds 10.
