students may take the work with a
minimum of expense.
"The third part of our progressive
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
ping board bureau of investigation.
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
which reiterated practically the feame
charge which they (Thompson and I Boi

nected with Tucker Sands and that the
letter emanated In the Sands family
Shortly after that Mr. Boiling toldj him

him in Washington and made a very! urg
ent demand that he (Boiling) see1 the
president and use his influence to lhave
the activities of the department ofi 1us

against Sands dropped. Sands, atj this
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

as his share. He said he gave the
money to Boiling as a ."loan."

companied by an attorney went to
Sands' oflce In Washington and asked
him to make an affidavit regarding his
part In It. He said Sands exclaimed:
