By Associated Press

Washington, February Winding up its IS months investigation of shipping board operations. the select House com mittee, headed by Representative Walsh, issued a formal statement today, hold ing that R. W. Boiling. brother-in-law of President Wilson and treasurer of the board, was mot guilty of soliciting or accepting any brlbe, gift or gratuity,p as charged by Tucker E. Sands, a for- mer Washington banker, in connection with contract awarded by the board to the Downey Shipbuilding corporation.
 This was the second statement issued by or on behalf of the committee exoner-' ating men whose names were brought into the investigation. The first, mate public several weeks ago, said the com mittee members did not believe that Charles M.

 Today's statement came after Mir. Boiling had reappeared before the com mittee Investigator, had testified that he had inquired into the matter and found there was nothing irregular about trans actions between Mir. Boiling and MT. Sands Mir. Fisher said the transactions were purely of d personal nature Mir, Boiling previously had testified that they had to do with payment of funds due him by MT Sands on a House constructed tor the latter some years ago.
 Secretary Payne, former chairman ct the shipping board, was before the com mittee today for more than an hour, re- viewing conditions as he found them when he became chairman, soon after the armistice was signed. He said he found the accounting system in Lad shape and dismissed several officials and abolished some bureaus in the course of a general shaking up of the organl1a- ton.
 Mr. Payne criticised the merchant ma rine bill plan of shipping board of seven members saying that one execu- tive should handle the work He also attacked Congress for. proposing abrv- gation of commercial treaties so prefer ential rates might be put into effect.
 The secretary also declared that the government could not compete with pri- vate shipping interests in operating mer- chant craft. and reiterated his bel.ef that If American passenger liners are to operate successfully in competition with foreign liners, they must De permit.ei 10 sell intoxicants outside the Amerfcah three-mle limit

 Many sections of the nation are aroused over the present cotton situa- tion. Other sections than the south are realizing that when the business of the south IS temporarily destroyed because of the lack of markets for it's present crop, it affects the business of all sec tons.
 ''Acting upon this theory, one of the largest manufacturing concerns of the north has arranged to send one of tue most wonderful agricultural speakers ill the United States to preach cotton acreage reduction and diversification.
 There had to be some local agency through winch the speaker could oper- ate and because or t.-e great work of the American cotton association, gentlemen rerAesenting the civic bodies of Birming- ham. the automobile dealers, and others, headed by Judge B.

Singing Flame Lamp

From Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 The standard type of miners lamp has been improved by an Austrian inning engineer so that it acts as an infallible .detector of the presence of inflamma- ble gases in the atmosphere and gives warning by emitting loud singing note. The action of the device is dependent upon the fact that a gas flame, inclosed within a tube, both ends of which are open. will "flutter" and emit a high ritched note if the gas is fed in too great ouanties The feed in the new lamp is so regulated that the supply Of gas is held just below the point at wnicn singing would occur. Should the atmos- phere suddenly become charged with in- flammable gases. these will enter the tube ofs the lamp. and. burning, cause the flames to flutter and sing.

Doubles Speed of Electroplating

From Popular Mechanics Magazlne.
 More than 100 per cent increase in the output of electroplating vats is gained by the recent discovery of an English me- tallurgist. The method of applying the new process. as used at Sheffield in sil- verplating, is merely to add potassium carbonate to the plating bath, instead of neutralizing that already present by in- troducing barium cyanide, as in ordi- rarily the practice. The silver. deposit obtained the new way is declared to equal if not surpass, in quality any as- ccmplished by the old method.
