WHEREABOUTS OF
 FAMOUS STATUE
 STILL A MYSTERY

HELENA, Mont.-A request fo, information from a resident of Med ford, Mass, as to the whereabouts of the silver figure of Justice, ad- mired by the thousands at the Worlds Columbian exposition at Chicago in 1893, as 9 part of the Montana state exhibit, has recalled to mind a quarter century myster. as to the disappearance of the once famous statue.
 The statue, for which the late Ada Rehan, the actress, posed as the model, was formed of pure sil- yer and mounted on sphere of un- alloyed gold. It was constantly guarded during the exposition by three armed men, and at the close was placed on a special car and started to Helena under escort of two armed guards. Here it was removed to the courthouse, which then was used also as the state capital Some days later it was dis vovered that the silver statue had been removed, and painted wooden one substituted.
 The theft was kept secret and detectives were employed in an ef- fort to locate the original statue, but never with any success. The state industrial accident board, to which the Massachusetts, mans in Cuiry was addressed, was unable t1

PEARL HARBOR DRYDOCk 10 BE
 FINISHED SOON

HONOLULU.-The result of ten years Of work and an investment of s4,500,000, the great drydock at the Pearl Harbor naval station IS nearing completion. l. is expected the huge concrete basin will be for mally dedicated this month and t is considered probable that the Pacific fleet will come here for the celebration. The Honolulu Chamber of Commerce has invited Secretary of the Navy Daniels and the members of the congressional naval committees to come to Homo lulu to witness the dedication.
 Built in a basin dredged in coral. the big concrete and granite dry dock is 1929 feet long and 100 feet wide on the floor with sills of B feet. It is estimated that the walls and floor contain 15O,000 cubic yards of concrete.
 The first dredging for the con- taining basin was started in Sep- tember, 1909, and a coffer dam was built in 1913. Long piles had been depended upon, however. to rein- force the floor of the drydock and when the coffer dam was pumped out hydrostatic pressure from be- meath upheaved the entire structure. making it complete wreck and de stroying in few moments the work of four years.
 Two years were spent in devising new plans and work was resume in January, 1915, when sixteen blocks of concrete, each containing 300 yards of material, were sunk to form the foundation for the floor. Since then work has pro- ceeded steadily.
 Great electrically driven pumps, four 54-ineh and two 15-inch, have been installed. They will empty the drydock in two hours. Intake pipes will fill the basin in the same time, permitting of quick work in docking warships. Railroad tracks, for the handling of cranes, surround the drydock.
