Th story of a schem which the United Stats 8cret Service operative of this clt? teller intended to defraud many laskers and cattl dealers la Colombia, Smith America, of millions of dollars, Mn out last night, when Simon Boehm ana Samuel Otero were arrested and Imprisoned in the Tombs.

Cbarced with attempting to counterfeit Colombian currency, Boehm. who Is a jpcal agent for the exporting bouse of Pratt at with offices at 119 Nassau street, and Otero, who has bees. living; at 411 West Twenty-third Street, were ar-Mined before United States Commission irfitoelda They wars held in (2,000 ball each, and being unable to obtain a bondsman, were remanded to the cuatody of Marshal Henkel. who oaused them to be toefctd up for the night. CaPt.

William J. alynn of tha local Secret Bervlc Bureau, who made the ar-test. told a reporter for Thi Tims last night that Boehm and Otero had paid to esrtalrt member of his force approximate-lr tlM0 under ths Improsaton that thy vere dealing with skilled engravers who vere to- furnish a set plate from which the spurious bills were to be struck This money, he said, was now In the possession of the Federal authorities, "but atinuch more bed been expended in va-xtons ways to finance the scheme. Ths detection of the clot. Capt, Flynn aid.

was due to the publication of an ad-ertlmnt by the conspirators, which rata 4 follows: afAXTED KlrtoljLM steel plate wirtrtr tor Cuba; UglMst -ages peidi must first elass. B. This advertisement 'was answered by a Secret Service man. He quickly received response directing him to call upon Boehm Otero, In the offices of Pratto 7 which, strangely enough, are in the Morton Building, where the Federal cret Service Bureau Is located. The eetective lost no lime in following the direction.

Within an hour after he met ttoenm St Otero, the Bee ret Service man knew, he said, that he was expected to become a member Of a gang having Its headquarters in Cutik, and which hoped to Hood Colombia with spurious our-reacy. The supposed engraver ouickly fell in with the scheme and made it his busl- Mss to prolong tee negotiations. He was told by Boehm and Otero, so Capt. Fly nn ays, that a search had been in progress during three months for a competent engraver. He was required to show proofs of his ability, and after a short delay furnished the plottirs with some of the best work that the engravers in the Government office at Washington could produce.

The examples were satisfactory, and Boehm and Otejro. the agent said, were ready to close with the Secret Service engraver on the spot. They wished him to make for them a set of plates from which they proponed to strike off several huudred thousand 100-pesos notes, representing In Colombia four or five millions ef dollars. as negotiations continued the detective was gradually let Into the scheme. He was told, it Is asserted, that Otero represented well-to-do persons in South America who had all the money necessary to finance the project.

The plan was to take the counterfeit currency to Colombia and to purchase cattle 'from the Interior. The business was to be carried on from Cuba, and the cattle were to be shipped to foreign countries, including England. France, Kusala, and Germany. Finally the detective reported that he had sufficient evidence, and yesterday afternoon Flynn and two of hi fore went up the stairs of the Building to the offices of Pratto A Co. They found both Boehm and Otero and ar tested them.

After their arrest the prisoners retained ss their representatives J. M. Marx and William M. Byrnes, both former Asstst-snt United' States District Attorneys. Through their lawyers Boehm and Otero made a statement.

In which they denied having been concerned in any attempt to counterfeit the currency of Colombia er any country. They declared they had not tried to engage the services of any engraver, and branded the charge against them as an outrage. 4 HURT 11 MID-AIR CRASH. Rush of Ambuianesa Pennsylvania Station Excavation This Morning. Cn a eoUlsJoa between Jtww trains of narrow gauge ears used by the New Tork Contracting Company to haul rock from the StaJJoo excavation, four men were injured, one irhap mortally, early this morning.

The collision occurred on a trestle which carries the narrow gauge tracks over the tracks of the New Tork Central at Eleventh Avenue at Thirty-fourth Street. One train was empty, returning roa the North River pier after dumping Its load. The other was loaded, going from the Ms excavation to the rtver. The engines, through a mistake of switchman, collided head on. Anthony Brennan, engineer of the loaded train, was scalded by steam escaping from his wrecked engine.

He lives at 825 Johnson Avenue, Jersey City. The other engineer and both firemen were scalded and braised, but remained in the excavation. Brennan was taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where the surgeons say he may die. MRS. SAGE WAS THE D0N0R.

Handsome Gift of 175 City Lota to N. Y. University Apparently Unexpected. It la Mrs. Russell Sage who has made the handsome gift of 17ft city lota to New Tork University.

Hh bought the property from the heirs of Oustav Schwab for 1800,000. The fact that Mrs. Sage Is a Rood friend of Miss Helen M. Gould, who i a graduate of the New Tork University Law School and who gave the university nm naut 01 now ana toe uorary DUlMing. may explain the alft.

Soon after Chancellor MacCracken kad assembled his class in philosophy in the Library Hall on Tuesday be received a telegram. When the Chancellor read It he changed color, dismissed the class, and left the building. He missed chapel in the next hour for the first time since the Fall term opened, and did not i return. These facts have led the students to believe that Mrs. Sage's gift was unexpected.

Two-hundred and fifty students the university celebrated last night the acquisition of the new lots. With A. B. Pay-son, President of the Student Association, at their head, they marched in a procession around the campus, and from thence to the house on the Schwab estate adjoining. The Freshmen had beeri busy all the afternoon gathering firewood, which they had been forced by the upper classmen to carry on the march.

The wood was piled up twenty feet high before the house and ignited, while the students executed an Indian war danoe around it. President Payson made a speech praising the management of Chancellor Mao-Cracken. The procession visited also the Chancellor's ana Dean Snow's houses. FOR ELEVATED BRIDGE LOOP.

Bad Weather, Slaw Passage, and Lack of 8atthorse and Flour Be- est Portuguese Sal lore When the lookout oa the Portuguese berkenttne J. Soaxe Costs, sang out early yesterday morning off the Highlands that he had sighted land there was general rejoicing among officers and men.

The Costa was out eighty-one oaye from Santos, groping her way to port with provisions exhausted and a scant sapply of water; She anchored off Statea Island last night. Ths crew comprises four boys, two seamen, besides the Captain and two mates. The food gare oat altogether several days ago, and their condition would have been desperate had they not managed to harpoon a large porpoise. The Costa sailed from Oporto on Tun 26. and after an uneventful voyage reached Santos on Aug.

Jesus ArUo sailed for this port la The vessel ran Into rough weather almost at once, but It moderated and the men were congratulating themselves when a large blackbird, driven out to sea by the sought a resting place on the fore yard. Emlllo Bllveste. one of the boys, discovered him, and soon all the men were gathered on deck watching the bird.

After resting soms time It flew off toward the land, but the men with many shake of ths head opined that they would have no luck after that. It was certain thereafter that no good luck attended' the vessoL Not only was the weather rough, but there were times when she could make no sea headway toward port. When off Hatteras a bit of bad weather was encountered which left the vessel sans a number of stays and with minor damage done about her decks. Fcr a week the Costa had literally to grope her way north, for nlx.lt and day the sky was so overcast that observations could not be taken. The vessel Is provided with a windmill amidships to keep her clear of water, but this was not sufficient and at times the men had to use the band pumps to get her clear.

It was hard and at times discouraging work. The last straw came when they were seventy-seven days out and the cook an- Sounced that the last piece of salt pork ad gone Into the pot and the flour barrel was empty. The water supply was exhausted as well and all the water en board was that caught In a sail and a cask some days previously. The men turned fishermen, and In this way caught a slim meal or two. Eduard Rev, who had once made a trip on a whaler, was stationed In the bow to look cut for ehnce fish.

TAKES A TON OF TURKEYS. A Good Xmas Dinner Assured on the Baltic-FIght on the Pier. The White Star' liner Baltic, which sailed yesterday for Liverpool, carried 3,841 bags of Christmas mall, and a ton of turkeys for the Christmas dinners aboard. A good dinner will be served to all on board on that day. The first-class passengers will get champagne, and the second-class passengers claret.

The Royal Welsh Male Choir, who are returning after a tour, will help to furnish entertainment on Christmas night. Those on the pier witnessed an amusing Incident Just before the vessel sailed. An elderly Irishman was down to the pier with bis wife to see a friend off. The man met a woman who was sailing, and who was unknown to his wife. He escorted her on board, and when his better half caught sight of him comlnjr off she rushed up, and demanded to know who his female friend was.

The husband's reply evidently was not satisfactory, for she struck him on the hetd. Jammed his hat down over his eyes, aha then hurried from the pier. ELLENBOGEN IS PARDONED. Was Convicted of Perjury In the Election Cases Last Year. ALBANY, Dec 10.
