 Koretz had removed his beard when he appeared In court today.
 Koretz did all he could to expedite the extradtion proceedings and, at his request, Judge Wallace drew up a paper to be signed by the prisoner. When completed, the paper recited that. while the prisoner admitted there was prima facie case against him in Chicago he denied his guilt. Koretz asked that this be eliminated, which was done, and he signed the document.
 When told that. under the usual procedure, he could have fifteen days In which to arrange an extradi- ton defense, Koretz said he was ready to return at any time and re- quested that the subsequent proceed ings, which necessitate communica- ton with the Ottawa government, be carried on by telegram. This was agreed to and it was announced that the Chicago officers may be able to start for home tomorrow morning.
 Koretz, who was known here as Lou Keyte, posed In Halifax as a re- tired millionaire who gratified 8 hobby by conducting book shop in Madison avenue, New York. He car- ried high financial references from the bank Of Nova Scotia. Through a Halifax book store he purchased much fiction, and on one occasion introduced young man who, he said, was manager of his New York shop.

CHICAGO MAN, WANTED IN $2OOO,OOO
 LAND SPINDLE, CAUGHT IN CANADA
Leo koretz Had Posed as Man of Wealth and Refine ment and Had Even Agreed to Preach a
 Sermon-Waive ves Extraditon

Halifax, Nov. 24.--Keo Koretz, al. legged s2,00O,O00 land fraud swindler of Chicago, for whom & nation- wide search has been conducted for more than a year. and for whom a reward Of sl0,OO0 had been offered, was in the hands of the law today.
 He has waived extradition and will be taken back to Chicago by two as- sistant states troopers attorneys who arrested him in hotel here last night.
 According to the police Koretz stole away from Chicago with the loot of a gigantic mail fraud in a hand satchel.
 No one thought to connect the thin smoothed faced Koretz with the beared gentleman of evident wealth who about that time came to Nova Scotia, where he purchased Pine hurst" a country home near Liver pool and proceeded to spend small fortune in renovating it. For that mans name was Lou Keyte and he seemed interested chiefly in collect ing rare books and furniture.
 All who came in contact with him considered him man of culture and he had been invited to deliver sermon In the near future. He entertained lavishly and seemed to have no thought for money.
 When arrested In hotel here last night he said:
 "All right boys. I won't make any trouble" and put himself at the command of the officers. The attor1 neys refused to divulge in what manner Koretz's disguise had been penetrated.

 The authorities said Koretz admit ted that a prima facie acse existed against him in Chicago that he waiv- ed all his rights under extradition proceedings, and said he hoped Che officers would hurry in getting him back to the United States.

in many other reliable accounts, Of
Lees surrender of his sword to Gen.
Grant is sheer fiction. Grant never
thought of his sword and he assures
us that Lee never did. either.
After the .formalities of the sur
render were over Gen. Lee let Grant
understand that his army was hungry
and Grant directed him TO send Off
GERS down to the trains of supplies
that the Union forces had captured
and help himself to what he needed.
The two leaders then separated as
cordially as they had met, Lee return
ing to his own lines. The Union forces
began firing salutes in honor of the
victory, but Grant stopped them. He
knew Lee had sore heart and he
would not make the defeat harder to
bear than it was They were all to be
once more brothers under one flag,
and that readjustment was delicate
matter requiring skillful handling.
The following day, before Grant
set out for Washington to urge the
discontinuance of further purchase
of supplies for the Army, he rode out
betwe cen two lines and Lee rode for
ward to meet him. After pleasantly
conversing upon various matters,
Grant urged Lee to use his all-power-
full influence to persuade the other
southern generals to surrender with
out further shedding of blood. While
these two talked, the Union men OBJ
tanned permission to cross over and
talk with the ConfederateS and they
seemed, all of them. to have for
gotten that they had ever been enc
mics.
Grant remarked upon the simplic-
ity Of the surrender when it actually
came. 1t had been looked forward to
for years, and yet when it arrived
how simple it was after all--two
men, two leaders of men, speaking
pleasantly together, then the terms
and then further talk. and somehow
he knew that great events are always
simple when they come.
