STANDARD OIL BID
REFUSED BY CARL
Company Is Low, but Effort
to Condition Offer Brings
Rejection.

In decision reaffirming principle
laid down in a previous case, Controller
General McCarl has declined to allow
the Treasury Department to enter into
a contract for gasoline with the Stand
ard Oil Co.. although its bid is lower
than that CT a competitor
The Standard Oil sought to incor-
porate in the sales contract a provision
giving the right to increase its price
under currency initiation or because Of
any increase in production cost due to
the operation of the recovery act.
Such a conditional bid is indefinite
and uncertain" McCarl said. "and not
responsive to the advertised specifica-
ton as the bid attempts to incorporate
herein terms and conditions not offered
by the Government to all bidders as a
basis OF competition. Consequently such
bid may not be accepted
The case arose in the proposal of the
Coast Guard to buy several thousand
gallons OF gasoline for airplanes. Stand
ard offered a price of 1877 for de-
livery at Chincoteague, Va, and 2l.75
for Broadwater. Va. The competitor. a
private dealer, bid 81 43 for both places.
AS an offset to the safeguards against
increased cost to itself, the Standard
Co. also proposed to incorporate a 30
day cancellation clause which the Gov
ernment can exercise at its option.
The previous decision was rendered
last month to the Veterans Administra-
tion and likewise was in connection with
a gasoline contract. In that instance,
the bidder proposed to make allowance
for certain taxation.

REVEALED BY DEAN SUIT.
Financial Transactions Brought to
Light Several Years Ago.

The financial transactions upon
which T. Morris Wampler's conviction
in Baltimore was based first came to
light here several years ago when
Dean filed a civil suit against two men
and three women, whom he accused of
extorting more than 100000 from him.
This suit which set forth the alleged
conspiracy to lure him into compro-
missing situations with women, was dis
missed last January.
Wamplers name was first brought
into the case during the trial in Dis
trict Supreme Court of criminal
charges against Norman Bowles, dis
barred attorney. in connection with
the payment by Dean of $4,000 to
settle a claim against him by Miss
Christine Rock. Bowles was acquitted.
but during the course of the trial tes-
timony was introduced to show that,
although Dean had paid Wampler
s35,00O to settle the claim, only $4,000
was paid over to the attorney repre-
senting Miss Rock.
No effort was made during the
Bowles trial to follow the missing SIS
600, but a subsequent investigation by
Assistant United States Attorneys John
r Fitzpatrick and Charles Murray,
with the aid of Detective Sergt. Earl
P Hartman, resulted in the assembling
of evidence which was placed at the
disposal of internal revenue agents and
used during Wampler's trial.

'WAMPLER GUILTY.;
. BREAKS INTO TEARS
Washington Attorney Con-
victed of Evading Income
Tax Payment.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, December 15.-
After celebrating for more than four
hours a Federal court jury late last
night convicted T. Morris Wampler
Washington attorney, on charges of
evading income tax payment in 1880
and 1881. After the verdict had been
given Judge w. Calvin Chestnut, who
presided over the trial gave the Defend
ant two days in which to file a motion
for a new trial.
When the foreman of the jury had
completed reading the verdict Wampler
broke into tears and in loud voice
said:
You don't think I'm going to the
penitentiary do you? Ill kill myself
first"
Isaac Lobe Straus. who with Joseph
Neulin, conducted the defense. quieted
the convicted attorney with consider
able difficulty. After Wampler was
quieted the court fixed his bond at
Sl5,00c $4,000 more than the original
bail figure. Mr. StrauS said he would
file the new trial motion by Monday.
The Governments chic- contentious
were that Wampler had derived ap-
proximately 100000 in 1889 and 1881
from funds given him by Edward b.
Dean, sr., a Washington real estate
operator. and that he had failed to pay
an income tax on these moneys.
The Government also charged that
the attorney had procured four women
in a conspiracy to perpetrate badger
game swindle on Dean. at that time
one of Wampler's clients.
Wampler denied all the charges
while on the witness stand and de-
clared that he mad used the monev
given him by his client to settle the
cases, which we're legitimate ones.
The trial opened December 4. with
Charles G. Page. an assistant United
States attorney, delivering the opening
address. He assisted his chief. Simon
