At the U. s. marshal's Office it was
stated definitely today that the New

center of suspicious activity for sew
eral days past. ...#.:= .,s.
The place was watched Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights, and it is
stated that on Saturday night the ac-
tons of men around the place were
such as to convince attaches of the mar
shars Office that Randell was working
touch with soldiers. Accordingly. the
arrests were fixed for Sunday. 1t was
stated today that the conclusive eyi-
dence was secured on Saturday night
while the water pageant was in prog
ress and Carnival crowds filled the
streets. Watchers then saw what they
believe is enough to show that Randell
brought soldiers to the New York
Dress Company's office for the purpose
of fixing up the deal to secure dis
charges for the soldiers.

"Seligsen Is his right name and so

years ago met him in San Francisco.
He was in the Wholesale cloak and

to think he came here for this bust

ago in San Francisco, and under

his family were to come and run the
business for him.
1t is said further that Seligsen used
to visit the army posts with permits
