T. Wilmer Boiling, brcther-ln-la
Of President Wilson and Treasurer Of
the Shipping Bostd, under oath to-
day denounced as untrue the declara-
ton made by Tucker X. Sands that
he had participated In u bribe alleged
to have been paid by Wallace
Downey for influencing the placing
OF Shipping Board contracts. He APP
peared before the Walsh Congress
sional Committee at the Hotel Penn
sylvania. Mr. Boiling demanded,
both for my own and my family's
sake" that all OF his business trans
actions with Sands be Investigated.
Alohso Tweedale, Comptroller Of the
Board, sat beside Mr.. Boiling and fire.
qGently conferred with him during
tho time Mr. Boiling was testifylng.
Mr.. Boiling identified telegram
sent by him to Chairman Joseph
Walsh in which hC had denounced as
untruc the charge by Tucker K.
Sands that he had received purt of
an alleged bribe for securing ship

The agreed price of the house was
$12, 200, but when it was completed
there were extra charges of $1,000.
To the extra charges Sands and his
wife made, such unpleasant objec-

to waive his share-$GOO Sands
later agreed to reimburse him for
this, he stated
Later, in 1915 there was a com
plant that an injustice had been
done to the Downey Company
through the diversion Of bending
