minimum of expense.

policy is to establish in all Portland
high schools a course in music similar
to the one at Franklin high and bring
about the standardization of teaching
music by all teachers, placing it on the
same plane as that of other arts;"

KEPOET MADE PUBLIC
Benson then made public the report
of the investigation, which was signed
by Frank Burke, mSnaser of the Ship

The report said that Boiling had asked
Huston Thompson, then assistant attor
ney general, to Investigate the charges
after they had been made to Secretary
Tumulty in an unsigned letter. Nothing
was done at this time, however. "Shortly
after, however," the report continued.
"Mr. Boiling called with another letter

letter emanated In the Sands family
Shortly after that Mr. Boiling toldj him

him in Washington and made a very! urg

president and use his influence to lhave
the activities of the department ofi 1us

time, was under indictment by a fed
eral grand jury, charged with violation
of the" banking acts. On advice of
Thompson, Boiling wrote a letteir fd
Sands telling him that while he regretted
exceedingly that he had become involved
with the government he would not and
could not approach the president on any
such proposition.
Boiling denied any knowledge of the
$40,000 matter and reiterated that Sands
had threatened to cause him" trouble
unless he intervened before the president
in. Sands' behalf. Boiling said that
