of huge timber lands along the

finding of oil and minerals on the
property for which millions had been
offered him by leading oil interest.
The story took we'll funds began to
pour in, offices were built up, more
funds came-came so fast that they
could hardly be handled---and KoretZ
sCon had S2.00O,000 and more He
induced high salaried officials In
some Of the leading industries of
Chicago to leave their positions to
enter the employ of the Bayano

Then some suspicious soul con-
ceived the Idea of investigating the
whole venture. koretz told a party
OF the more prominent stockholders
to take an investigating trip at his
expense. When they reached Pana-
ma, he left Chicago. Alligators and
swamps were found along the
Bayapo, which was marked by no
horetz holdings, and with no oil.
That was year ago. After
months of luxurious living on the
money of others at his pinehurst

he was about to venture on another

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, November 29--Safety de-
posit vaults in New York are expect
ed to give up A large part of the loot
accumulated here by Leo Koretz,
Rayano swindler. who sailed from
Halifax yesterday for New York, on
his way to Chicago. 1t is reported
that Koretz promised the prosecutors
he would show them where hc had
hidden 100000 in New York if they
would let him travel to Chicago with
out the embarrassment of being ac-
Companied by reporters 1t is said
to have been for that reason that
koretz was taken abroard ship Sc
cretly.
The steamer Caronia, on which are
koretz and Assistant States Attor-
neys Scarbaro and Marshall, will
reach New York tomorrow afternoon
The swindler once more on United
States soil, will be subjected to a
thorough examination in an effort to
make him disclose where he has hid
den some tens of thousa nds of dol
lars that he has SO far failed TO ac-
count for.
Indication that those in charge of
III korctz case had been perfecting
plan for days to get the swindler TO
New York, the scene Of most of his
activities since he ned Chicago last
December, was strengthened today,
when Maurice Gerkson, counsel for
the swindler's bankrupt estate, left
for New York
Officials now believe that for
months before he disappeared korctz
was quietly conveying the bulk of
his stealings to New York and secret
ing them in safe Repositories. They
do not believe that half Of what
koretz actually got away with has
yet come to light. Every precaution
was taken at Halifax on Friday to
prevent knowledge of the secret de-
parture for New York becoming
known.

BRITISH OPPOSITION
HAMPERS EXPERTS
Opposition to American
Rights Under Dawes Plan
Delays Work.

BY Cable 10 The star and New York World
PARIS, November 29.-Cireat Britain
has not yet agreed to the right of
the United States to reparatioEs
from Germany s'n.ler tn. D.; pan.
Although France. Belgium and
Italy are willing to recognize
American claims. British opposition
still hampers the work of financial
experts who are meeting here to pave
the way for a conference of finance
ministers on reparations. The whole
series of financial discussions which
must precede the Franco American
debt funding has been delayed.
French Willingness for America to
share in reparations is actuated by
a desire to placate the United
States. Belgium and Italy want
American participation in reparations
as insurance for continuance of pay
ments under the Dawes plan. With
the United States getting it's share
they feel more sure that Germany
will continue to pay.
Debts of Allies.
1t is now understood the confer
ence of financial ministers will at
tempt to determine how the Dawes
plan reparations shall be paid as
we'll as the question of interallied
debts. Winston Churchill. British
chancellor OF the eXcheu. =. is said
to be coming to Paris with the in
tention of finding a way to make the
French and Italians pay.
Knowing no way of escape. The
French and italians are preparing
funding propositions with long. Ire-
liminary moratoriums. The French
offer to Britain undoubtedly will be
similar to the offer to the United
States. so discussion of the inter
allied debts will have an especial
interest in America. Col. James A.
Logan. jr., will be present at the
conference. hut will not discuss allied
Indebtedness to America. That will
come later before the debt-funding
commission at Washington.
The conference of the financial
ministers. tentatively set for De-
cember, proba bly, will not be held
until January. Meanwhile. Agent
General Gilbert returned today to
Berlin, havin- raised here the ques
tion of legality of the French and
British recovery acts under which
both are collecting reparations di-
rectly by a level of 26 per cent of
German taxes. While he is obliged
to reimburse German exporters fer
taxes collected by Britain and France.
the Dawes plan loan to Germany is
for internal use. Gilbert pointed out.
AS the monthly average of taxes col-
lected by British is more than 15,-
100000 gold marks. British action
makes a hole in the reparations of
$4,000, 900 gold marks being collect
ed monthly.
French collections under the re-
covery act are small compared 20
those of the British who already
probably are collecting more rep;ira
tions than their due. The British
have expressed their willingness TO
turn their surplus over to others,
but Gilbert still is doubtful of the
legality of the operation.
