DISCOVERED IN NEW YORK
Agents Trying to Dispose of Quantity

Escape.

New York, Dec. PA wholesale
swindle in spurious foreign notes has
been discovered here. BY it, local
bankers declare, spurious 1000 franc
notes of the National bank of Belgium
have been sold to the extent of s400,.
600 to money brokers in New York,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Boston, New
Orleans, Chicago, Denver, San Fran

ZimnermaAr-&- Enrshay, a banking
firm at 9 Wall street, is credited with
discovering the swindle.
Didn't Stop to Argue.
The fraud came to the attention of
Zimmerman & Forshay in two ways.
Swindlers who attempted to sell the
firm 10000 francs were told on the
spot that the notes looked bogus. The
swindlers didn't stop to argue the
matter. but ran out of the Office and
left the bad notes behind In day
or so a great quantity of the spurious
paper began to come in. not only from
money brokers in this city, but in all
the other leading cities in this cour

The firm took all these notes fol-
collection, but made it plain that there
was little prospect of realizing any
i thing on them Zimmerman & For
shay have not lost anything by the
fraud. but are in the collection charges
whether the notes are good or not.
No Legal Action Taken.
| No action has been taken by authori
ties, as Zimmerman & Forshay ar,
awaiting advices from Brussels before
turning the matter over to Chic
Flynn of the secret service. Will,
the banking firm is certain the note
are bad, they want to have the assur
ance of the Belgian bank by mail o
cable before permitting the bushe
basket full of 1000 franc notes. whicl
would be worth $193 apiece if the,
were good, to be seized by Chic
Flynn.
