BERLIN. May (Associated Press). Germany's new reparations programme, as outlined, will literally be constructed from "the ground up," for it will rest primarily on a nationwide real estate mortgage. What promises to be the greatest hypothecation of land in the history of economics will eventually encom pa! every square inch of German soil, which will be made to pay tribute to Germany's former foes for thirty years. The assessment will be on a basis of fifty per cent, of the present gold values.

Five hundred million gold marks annually will flow into the reparations melting pot from this source during the first few years. The ultimate yearly total will approximate one billion gold marks, the increase depending upon the promptness with which metropolitan real estate can be subjected to the mortgaging process. A beginning will be made with the agricultural lands and the physical properties of'lhe industrialists. IXIM'STRIALISTS PRESENT PLANS TO CHANCELLOR The plan for the great mortgage is the most important point in the programme of the German League of Industrialists, as submitted to Chancellor Cuno for the perusal of the government. This organization indicates its readiness to assume payment of forty per cent, of the hypothecated sum of $500,000,000 gold marks, which it believes the government can raise by assessment on the industrialists properties.

The remaining sixty per cant, would be guaranteed by the banking, commercial shipping and agrarian interests. SEClDliT ELECTS GAMAGE VANCOUVER, May 18.

May 13, Mo I.eod ajruin telephoned the Lincoln Club and, in response to remarks by witness, said be was comintr down.

On this occasion, lnsnector Tulev listened in on an extension, to the conversation, and afterwards Inspector Sutherland, Inspector Tuley and urncer hompson were secreted in a room in the club. Careful staging in preparation for the coupe was then done, a sette being arranged in one room in such a position that when MLeod sat on one end of it, he could be plainly seen through a keyhole from the room adjoining, while its proximity to the door made the overhearing of conversation possible. Fifty dollars in marked money was handed to Dodson hy Inspector Sutherland, which was to be paid to the accused, who, at that time, and until some time after his arrest, the officers believed to be someone using the name of Supervisor McLeod. "When Mcleod came in. I a.sked him how I was to know, after I had given him the that I should not still he prosecuted," said Dodson, "and he told me he would write a letter telling them not to proceed." Continuing, witness said Mcleod assured him that he was head of the prosecutions, and that Mr.

Miliar was under him and unable to take any action with his authority. "I I would take a chance and give him the cash," said witness, "and I did. Then the police came in." In cross examination by Mr. Russell, witness said he had no fear of the prosecution, which wa supposed to be about to take place in connection with liquor found on his premises. He had never paid money for any so called "protection." INSPECTOR WAS INFORMED Inspector Tuley told of the conversations with Dodson, who reported the matter when McLeod allegedly demanded money, and explained the arrangements made.

Following the conversation which had been given by the previous wit. ness the money was paid over, Tuley seeing the whole transaction, upon which the three officers entered the room. The marked money was found in MeLeod's pocket and he was placed under arrest the ifficers were still under the impression that he was an imposter, and would no: accept his statement that he was McLeod until he produced credentials. Proceeding, the witness said that at the police station, McLeod begged for mercy and, when told he had been a "fool." stated: "I know. wish I hadn't.

Keep this quiet and I will quit my job and leave the country." Detective Thompson corroborated the testimony of Inspector Tuley, and, after Mr. McKay had intimated that Inspector Sutherland would he called at the higher court, he being absent owing to his family being in quarantine, adjournment until this afternoon was taken.
