A denial that he had ever taken menev for influenc ing the dispoltien e( contracts for ma chinery by the United States shipping beard, ns charged by Tucker K. Sands, former Washington banker, coupled with a request that all of his business transactions with Sands be investigated "both for my own nnd my family's sake" was made before the Walsh congressional committee here today by R. V. Beiling, President Wilsen's brother-in-law, and new nssistnnt treasurer of the division of operations in the shipplnc beard. In his Rencral denial, Mr. Rolling, Bald he had nothing te de with award ing centractu or making payments in the shipping beard, that no one in the shlpp'ng beard, Emergency Fleet Cor poration, or nny outside organization had nprenched him in connection with contracts or financing, nnd thnt no ap pointments were made through him for the shipping beard 'or Emergency Fleet Corporation. He gave his age ns forty one. Mr. Beiling told of buslne associa tions witli Sands dating back te 11)10 nnd earlier years, out of which grew several financial transactions, lie told the committee that his personal rec ords were nil available te its inspection. Sands has testified that he received $40,000 from the Downey Shipbuilding Corporation for "representing" it be fore the beard, out of which he paid money te Mr. Delling. Mr. He'ling said that after banking with the institution which Sands was cennnccted with for i-cveral years, he had taken n centrnct in 1010, when he wns In the building busiuc-,8 with u Sartncr named Tedd te build a house for le banker, and in making settlement for its costs with Mr. nnd Mrs. Sands bad forgone any profits because of t!.e objection by the Sands te a charge for extras. Received Sands' Nete "I volunteered te cancel my share of this charge, which figure ($000) represented most of the profit 1 had expected te make en the entire trans action," Mr. Beiling said in his state ment, "because of their unpleasant at titude. Mr. Sands agreed te this set tlement nnd gave me his note for $0000, Which 1 indorsed and discounted. "However, n short while afterward Mr. Sands told me that be- did net want me te lese any of my commissieus for building the house, and that he had ac cepted this reduction only because his wife was very much worried that the beuse should have cost mere than they had originally planned, and tlmt he In tended paying me the additional $000 above referred te. Early in 1018 Mr. Sands sent a Mr. Craner te see me in regard te some machinery, which was te be used in connection with the construction of vessels. Mr. Craner told me that the machinery in question wns 'bending rolls,' and was te have been shipped te his company from the factory, but nt the last minute some ether company succeeded In having the order changed, and that this machinery would bn di verted te them, that a great Injustice vwas being done te his, Mr. Craner's (company. "I knew nothing about the construc tion division, se in the presence of Mr. Craner I called up Lester Sislcr, who was then secretary of the shipping beard, nnd explained the matter te him. lie said he would leek Inte it, and sub sequently told me that he found upon inquiry that the rolls had been premised te Mr. Craner's cempauy and would be shipped te them. Declined te Accept Tee "A short time after this Mr. Sands told me that he had made, or would make, $1000 in connection with tills transaction though he new states he has no recollection of the matter and that he was going te 'take care of me.' I told him I would accept nothing. He then mentioned the $000 which he still owed rae in connection with the changes made in his house, saying that lie had net forgotten it, and would pay it. "I gave no thought ns te what Mr. Bands relationship was te the princi pal, but looked upon him ns the vice president of a large bank, and a man who was justly indebted. I therefeie told him that I would he glud te have him pay what he owed me, but tliut it could in no way be connected with fees or commissions involving government work and this he clearly understend. "Upen my request he nnid me Mibsn. ?uently the $000 as follews: February 8, 1018, $300; .Tune L'O, 101 S. WOO, nnd August C, 11118, $100. I have no knowledge of where this money paid me by Mr, Sands citme from. "Mr. Sands nlne made me a lean of $300 en May 21, 101 S, for which I gave him my note. This was repaid by me te hlra July 1-1, 1010. with interest, nt which time Mr. Sands snul he was unable te find my note, however. I te'd him I ueu'd like te have my can celed check bearing his indersement. This represents every rent Mr. Sands has paid me since Decembi r 31, 1017. Tells of Threatening letters "Of the $40,000 which Mr. Sands nays was paid for procuring enntrm ts I never heard until It was mentioned in anonymous letters, coupled with threats thnt unless something was done te step the proceedings of the Depart ment of Justice against Mr Sands that my came would be brought into it. T'pen the receipt of these letters. I person ally reported the matter te the Depart ment Of Justice, requesting that un investigation be made of my transac tions with Mr. Sands. "I feel that it is unnecessary for me te say that I never, by word or deed, tried In any way te usslit the Provi dence Engineering Corporation ir any ether company, te procure a contract "Regarding the testimony given be fore the committee by Remain. u V Fuller, who has been indicted for forging and uttering and sentenced te the penitentiary for four jenr. in which be states that Mr. Sands gine me u check in his presence, I big te say that bis statement ix absolutely and un qualifiedly fnlse. I. therefore, most gejy request the committee te require I. Bands te immediately produce all .his checks made te me since Jan a'ry 1, 1018." Later, hu testified thnt he wns n mrtner in u brokerage firm with F. A. Connelly and H. W. Roberts nnd tiitit they mode nu agreement with Sands te pay him a commission te precuru u $40,000 lean for the firm. The ether two partners mode the nrrangements, Mr. Rolling said, udding that he "knew of it." He personally put $10,000 into 'the business, but retired in December, J017, following the Luwsen "leak" in in vtstlgatien, he Bald. .After that, Mr. Rolling declared, he MM te New Yerk and entered tiie Vank examiner's etilce. KstlfjfrtI ? i toning, in repiy ie questions, that in junuary, iuii, uc uer- rowed $7C00 from Sands and later re Paid this nmeunt by mortgaging his home. Alenzo Tweedale, comptroller of the shipping beard, sat beslde him and frequentiy conferred with him dur ing the time Mr. Rolling una testifying. Mr. Re.ilng said that the committee tveuld find available an Anonymous letter addressed te W. O. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, and nil ether records in connection with the affairs. Mr. Rolling. In answer te questions, said that he did net see Sands at nny tlme during the "bending rolls inci dent."

P.)-The Jnpanese delegation will net make any proposal for racial equality nt this scs- nlnn nt Mm nimh1v nf the LeaSUC Of Nations, it was announced by Viscount Ishll nt this morning's session of the assembly. "Jnnan will patiently bide her time. wild Viscount Ishll, "until an oppor tune moment shnll present Itself. The Jnpanese delegation, he added, also has decided te withdraw Its pro pre test against annual meetings of the as sembly, although It requires flve months' time for n delegation from Jnpnn te make the long journey nnd return. He recommended thnt meet ings once In two years, with special meetings In emergency, but said he would net press the point. The Japanese delegate made these declarations In speaking en the report of the committee en rules, which was read te the full assembly ct the opening of the session by Delegate Ferrari, of Italy. The committee based its report en the principle that the assembly is the sovereign organism of the league, but Intermittent, nnd that the cxeeu cxeeu tlve council is the permanent power, with the secretariat as the continuous medium for the execution et Uie deci sions of both the assembly nnd ' the council. Peace Delegates Position Clleil Viscount Ishll referred te the posi tion taken by the Japanese delegation at the Peact Conference. "It was te the poignant regret of the Japnnese uevernment ana poepic, ne said, "that the framers of the cove nant were unable te accent the Japanese proposal that equality before the law d.n.al.1 I.A HBOMUil tn nit MAR IvAaflfW-.. tlve of their nationality, race or re-Hi-Inn. The Japanese delegates de clared they would continue their In-H sistence for tlie adoption et tueir just demand by the league. In view, how ever, of present circumstances, Japan is strongly persuaded that the leagut is ns yet in a stage wnen tne conseima tien of Its organization should be ac corded greater attention than questions that might involve revision of tne cove nnnt." Viscount Ishll referred te the great size of the Japanese delegation and said this should be taken ns evidence of the real interest of his country in the league. Delegate Ferraris, of Italy, proposed an nmendment te the rules making it obligatory for the assembly te meet In Geneva. This was adopted with the modification that the regular sessions et the assembly must be Held at Geneva nt regular Intervals, but thnt extraer dinary sessions might be held elsewhere if the assembly, a majority of the coun cil or a majority of the members of the League se decided. The assembly then adjourned te xnursday morning. Russo-Pellsh Debate Postponed The expected debate en the failure of the council te Intervene ter prevention of the war between Poland and Soviet Russia has been put ever te Friday's session. The report of the commlttee en amendments te the covenant was ex pected te contain a recommendation that a commission be appointed te which nil amendments proposed should be re ferred for study and reported upon te the next Assembly, which It new is considered will certainly be held during tne summer or early fall. Such a committee would have sufii cient latitude te consider any nronesi tiens emanating from the United States. Seme of the delegates have con sldercd the advisability of giving the commiiice tne express nutnerity te enter Inte negotiations with Wushing ten at a favorable moment. Critical Period Readied Many delegates te the meeting of the assembly or tue League of Nations re gard the present week as the most crit ical period in the history of the organi zation. Questions which have been set tled In committees by a majority vote, after stubborn contests in some cases, must be decided in the assembly by a unanimous vote. The only exception Is In the case of the election of new mem bers and amendments. If the assembly proves capable et agreeing without a dissenting vote en the difficult problems te be placed be- fore It during ihe next few da U will, in the estimation ,of Mme of the leading members) have passed a most dangerous point. . Delegates de Leen, of Spain, and Aguere, of Cuba, have agreed te with draw for the time being their proposi preposi tion or the inclusion of Bnanlsh among the official languages of the assembly.
