Of Ship Graft
Corroborated
Cranor. Downey's Assistant,
Tells Walsh Committee
S4OO, 900 Paid to Sands
Was Premium on Credit
Refutes Bribery Story
Insists, However, the Board
Treasurer Never Helped
Him TO Get Machinery

Evidence contradicting the testi-
mcny OF r. Wilmer Boiling, treasurer
Of the Shipping Board and bro.her-in-
law Of President Wilson, on enc i'm
rortant point, but corroborating him
IT. other particulars, was given yes
terday before the Congressional COM
nittee investigating the Shipping
Beard. The committee has been in
curing into the charge of Tucker X.
Sands, former banker, that Mr.. Boil
ing shared in 8 $4,000 bribe alleged
70 have been paid by the Dowrey Ship
building Corporation for obtaining a
contract.
The chief witness yesterday was
John Cranor, assistant to Wallace
DOwney. president of the Downey
snipbuilding Corporation. According
70 Sands. Cranor was one of sour men
who shared in the alleged graft, the
others being Mr. Boiling, Lester Sisler,
former secretary of the Shipping
Board, and Sands. Cranor yesterday
made denial Of the charge that the
Downey Shipbuilding Company ever
paid any bribe for obtaining a contract.
He maintained that the money was
paid TO Sands, at that time v'ce-presi-
dent OF the Commercial National Bank,
as commission for putting through q
credit to the amount OF S125 900 for
the company, to enable the firm to OBJ
tain contract. Such, at least, was
the arrangement ne made with Sands
FOR Mr.. Downey, he said, although he
did not know whether the full amount
ever had been paid.
Denies Boiling Helped Get Machinery
Cranor, however, denied the state
ment made by Mr.. Boiling that he
had assisted Cranor to obtain some
plant machinery for the Downcy con-
Germ at the request Of Sands. Accord
ing to Nr. Boiling, Sands told him he
was to receive a retainer for this
assistance and offered to divide it with
him, but he refused. Mr. Boiling had
testified also that it was only after
this refusal that Sands offered to pav
him $500 OF a debt due him on the
construction Of house for Sands.
Cranor testified that he never ap-
piled 70 Sands or Boiling for any aid
IN obtaining machinery. He said the
matter had been arranged for him by
SoA1.ol l S1- - tIll, OF trClnla, VII I n
Rear Admiral 2. T. Bowles. then AN
executive Of the Shipping Board. In
fact, Cranor testified, he had seen
Boiling but once. Later. however. he
eontradicted this by saying thet ne
nad once carried some liquor TO Mr..
Bollirg's office.
Sometimes took quart of liquor
over to Boiling and left it in the
drawer IN his Office for him." said
Cranor.
On the matter of the $40 900 commits
sion paid TO Sands, Cranor testified that
ne went to Washington early in Feb
ruary as Downey's representative, and
that Senator Martin introduced him to
Edward \. Hurley, then chairman of
the Shipping Board. He said he dis
cussed " IN Mr.. Hurley a contract for
ten tugboats W tn the Providence Engi-

Downey is the head.

/. Question. What can 1 do for
dandmff? I've used a number of
dandruff remedies but they do not
stop it altogether. My hair is get
ting quite thin too.
Answer. Dandruff is caused by
poor circulation of the blood to the
scalp. The only way to cure it is
to improve the circulation by mas
saying, brushing and washing the
scalp. A good clean brush fairly
stiff should be used, and the hair
! brushed for at least ten minutes
every day. Massaging the scalp with
the tips Of the fingers loosens the
scalp and the scales of dandruff can
be brushed or combed out
Rubbing in little sulphur oint-
ment every two weeks and leaving in
for about twelve hours before wash
ing will help to remove dandruff
The head should be washed at least
every two weeks with CASTLE or green
soap. The soap should be shaved in
to about quart of water and al
! lowed to dissolve while the water is
brought to boil. The soap must
be we'll rinsed out of the hair. Dry.

Senator Hepburn free to go on with
his great subject. He and Repre-
sentative Burton l.. French worked
together on state affairs and left
Senator Hepburn free to work on
the greater subject, as Senator Bor-
all has been working on national
and international questions, notably
the effect of the proposed league of

When Senator Brady was new in
the United States senate, he intro
duced measure seeking to aid the
settlers of North Idaho in clearing off
their stumps as State Senator Kiger
wants to do now with state money,
and they just laughed about it. Mr..
Brady addressed them on the subject

serious, and his efforts only in

neither a state nor national char

worker who had not learned how to
do things.
The people of Idaho should con-
slider that they have two able sena-
tors in Washington, and two repre-
sentatires well schooled in their
work and able to get results. It is
better for the state to have this va

have it duplicated in it's activities.

prompt attention to details of home
business from Senator Borah that
they do from Senator Nugent. The
above statements show why. Mel
ther of these men could so success
fully do the work of the other, and
Idaho people should come to an un-
derstanding and an appreciation OF
the value of each man in his place.
1t is unjust to Senator Borah to say
that he does not take an interest in
the details of business in the home
state. 1t would be unfair to Sena-
tor Nugent to expect him to master
national and world problems when
he is handling a stream of business
for the people at home. Also he may
not have the talent for the world
problems that Borah has.
, When Senator Hepburn was new
in the senate he was placed on the
committee to deal with pure food

that nobody expected anyone to- ac-
complish anything on, and lit had al
ways been considered a joke to be
put on this comittee. Everybody ad
mitted that nothing could ever be
done to control or stop food. adul-
iteration. But Senator Hepburn con-
centrated on the study of the matter
for several years and secured the
enactment of the national pure food
bill and it brought results. But he
had to almost bury himself in the
study of the question in order to
understand it and frame the meas

packing houses of the middle west
and the canneries and chemical lab
oratories and all the vast number
of industries related to the sorting,
canning, preserving, coloring, flavor

of foodstuffs. He won
national reputation on his under
standing of national subject that

HOW THE WEST FAILS
POLITICALLY
By MRS. TREGo
PART III.

Idaho has two men in the nation
al legislative body who are especially
active and useful in attending to
state affairs, or those matters of
business affecting the interests Of
the people of their own state, both in
and out of their own parties. When
a man is once elected and sworn
in to office, he becomes the servant
of all the people regardless of po-
litical affiliations. A national ad-
ministration is made up chiefly of
the legislative bodies and the eXecu-
tive, and if we are to have nation
al administrative body it must be
made up of senators and representa-
tives who are capable of administer
ing national affairs. If each state
sent men to congress and then de-
manded that their whole attention
be directed to matters in their res
pective states, we should have no
central body capable of handling ma
tional affairs. The senate and house
of representatives are council of
the best men, supposedly, from all
the states. Idaho is fortunate in
having one senator who has talent
and ability for the larger affairs of
the nation and the world, and one
who has talent and ability and takes
an interest in the affairs of his own
state. That makes a good working
team, and in speaking of them l re-
fer to Senator Borah and Senator
Nugent.
Idaho people have fused more or
less about not being able to get the
