tectiyes had had rumor of some sort
of recruiting work.
Soldiers who have been long in the
service say that the number of men
who purchase discharges are compare
lively few.
The price varies according to the
time man has been in the army, $120
being the sum which man must pay
sfter having spent year in the ser
vice. Men cannot buy discharges be-
fore that time according to regulations
and men who leave without regular
discharges are deserters.
Some reason has to be ascribed for
leaving, as for instance that man is
going into something which he be
lieves better, or that he has widowed
mother to support and proof of waiting
employment has to be given by the sol
der that is satisfactory to military au.
thorities.
Not Many Purchases.
There have been comparatively few
discharges of enlisted men by pur.
chase on Oahu within the last few
months. it was learned today, Officers
at Hawaiian Department headquarters
are maintaining a strict silence so far
as the Randell case is concerned, and
would not give out even the number
of men which headquarters records
show as having been discharged by
purchase since the arrival of Randell
in Honolulu last September.
Many Sent to Canada.
1t has long been matter of gener-
al knowledge in the city that various
Britishers here have been giving fl
nancial aid to many men who wanted
to get to Vancouver or to New Zeal
and or Australia to enlist for service
IN Europe. >.-.
The activities of these men, it is
claimed, have been strictly within the
letter of the law, in that no one has
been urged or recruited for service.
Financial aid has merely been offered,
and often supplied, to men who had
already expressed a wish to get away
for service at the front but who could
not afford steamer fare to British ter
ritory Though some of the men who
have contributed to such funds are,
incidentally, members of the British
Association, the association handled
no money for such purposes, it is de-
clared

SO troubled that can't think exactly

Il advertised for a solicitor and
Randell answered the ad He gave

was the secretary OF the Y. NJ c. A.

them now.
RandeII His Solicitor. -..
n gave Randell job soliciting for
me on commission. He worked only
two days for me and then | let him
go because he did not produce results.
He was around frequently after that,
sometimes trying 10 borrow money
from me and had told him that any
orders he brought in | would give
him commission on. ~.....
Last Saturday he was in two or
three times to see me and think may
be he had soldier or two with him,
but / am not sure ...
Randell told me that he was a Ho-
nolulu man but had lived in
New Zealand for a number of years.
But really don't know anything
about him. He just came and went
and as j say only worked for me for
two davs.''
How do you suppose RandelI got

nolulu? 2"

At this point Seligsen jumped up to
see IL he could talk to the u. S. mar
shall, and 1t was impossible to get a
statement from him as to where he
lived and what he did on the coast.
Pressed for definite answer as to
his previous history, he said:
Why, / never was In England.

said about that
Seligsen is man of about 40 or so
years old. At his office this morning
it was stated that he is a single
man and has no relatives here SO far
as is known.
The office and. the establishment,
the New York Dress Company, On
Union street, were closed by creditors
shortly before noon today. 1t appears
that about month ago creditors of
the company felt that they would have
to exercise some sort of supervision
Of its affairs to protect their inter-
ests, and formed a committee of trus-
tees. This committee today decided
to close the shop temporarily, in view
Of the developments concerning Selig-
sen, although one Of these trustees
told the Star-BuIletin that he believes
Seligsen innocent of any wrongdoing.
Accordingly, the store was taken in
hand about IL o'clock by representa-
tiyes of the Company, the door closed
and locked. Two dressmakers who
we're there at the time were informed
that the place would be closed until
further notice.
One of these dressmakers, a woman
Of middle age, was asked about Selig.

TITANIC MEMORIAL
DUE HERE MARCH |.
Huge Figure Nearing Compile
ton at Quincy, Mass, to Be
Shipped by Water.

The gigantic national memorial statue
in memory of the Titanic victims. which
is to set up in Potomac Park. Will
arrive in Washington March !, II care
fully worked out transportation plans
do not fail The huge figure, represent
ing 1.-THE last inspiration of a departing
soul" expressing the heroic qualities OF
men and women. is now nearing COM
pletion at Quincy, Mass.
On account OF its great size 1t will be
necessary to haul II by teams TO the
river front at Quincy and then ship II,
by boat, to Washington. Not since the
Treasury columns were carried through
the streets of the city, with greatest
difficulty. and with damage to the con-
crete street paving. has there been fur
ther effort to transfer architectural or
monumental pieces through the streets!
BY Rringing the statue up the river to
point near the site this problem will
be solved. II is hoped.
The statue was designed by Mrs.
Harry PaYne whitney and John HoTri-
gan. who cut the figure out Of a block
of granite Weighing fortY-nve tons.
When completed the figure will weigh
twenty five tons. Its size may be
Judged from the fact that the span OF
the arms. from tin to tin. is fifteen
feet.
The figure will occupy pedestal
twelve feet square and ten feet high in
Potomac Park. The cost of the entire
monument will be S4O.O O00 which was
raised by public subscription.

NEW OIL AND GAS
DEPOSITS FOUND
Senator Walsh Reports Develop
ment in Montana and Wyom-
ing-UrgeS Leasing Law.

That new and important oil fields
are being developed in Wyoming and
Montana, along with natural gas re-
sources, was asserted today before
the Senate public lands committee by
Senator Walsh Of Montana. The
committee had before it the 0bill to
lease oil and other mineral lands.
Senator Walsh asserted that Mon
tana was swarming with prospectors
for oil, men are hunting for 1t all
over the State.
Situation Critical.
'"The oil situation is very critical
with us now" he said. "Rccently,
very valuable discoveries of oil were
made in northwestern Wyoming.
Prospcrtors are crowdlng into Mon
'tana and one Of the wells they have
brought in is an exceedingly produc-
tive one. They are prospecting for
oil all over tho state"
Senator Walsh told also Of di covert =
OF big gas wells in Montana, He point
ed out that the Tiaccr mining law was
the nnIv one applica ble TO the sinkiro Q
CT oil wells now anG IT was S't Mt ali
suitPbIe He CHARGED that under II big
oil inteI csts were Utilizing the lochti pms
OF private individuals and crowdinS
them out
The Senator clashed sharply in his
views with Senator Smoot. The latter
is opposed to the bill. Senator Walsh
insisted the leasing system was the only
practicable and fair one.
Provisions of Bill.
The bill Is for leasing of oil. coal.
phosphate. gas. and potassium deposits
on the public lands. The hearing TODAY
brought together a large body OF oil
men from California and elsewhere and
also Government experts on minerals.
Among the California oil men here. OF
persons interested in California oil. are
former Governor Gillett. w. r. Wheeler
George B. Bush. Frank II. Short. Lieu
tenant Governor Eshleman. William
FitzhuRh. Lewis Titus. F. B. Loomis
David Ewing, Thomas O'Donnell. and
others.
The California oil men do not oppose
the leasing system. but want some
amendments in the bill to- protect the
ACQUIRED rights of persons who have de-
veloped lands or located on lands bear
ing oil or supposed to bear oil.

RULES BODY FAVORS
FLOOD COMMITTEE
Authorizes Creation o fHouSe
Organization to Handle Mat

slider all legislation offered for the pre-
vention and control of floors and the
improvement of the levees on the Mis-
sissippi and other large streams. House
leaders say that the food problem has
become more and more serious in the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys during the
past few years and special attention is
necessary by the legislative branch OF
the Government.
Speaker Champ Clark, OF Missouri, in
troduced the resolution for the crea-
tion of the new House committee and
