Schmidt. a Philadelphia brewer, handled the $100,000 underwriting for The Advertiser and that either the brewers' counsel in Wasington or Mr. Brisbane had arranged the loan for the purchase of The Washington Times. His recollection was , that Brisbane had solicited the loan. ' Feigenspan also testified that he had arranged financial assistance tor The Newark, N. J. Ledger to the ex tent of $150,000, which represented loans at different times. The brewers organisations contributed no part of this fund, the witness said. Other Activities. Other activities of the brewers also were Inquired into by the committee. Hugh F. Fox, secretary of the United States Brewers' association, admitted that brewers "propaganda had been published In The International Month ly, edited by Qeorge Sylvester Vierick, once editor of The Fatherland. Fox said he did not know at the time the matter was published that The Vierick publication was "Inclined toward pro Germanism," but that he has ''had some suspicion of it since then." : Questioned further by MaJ. E. Lowry Humes, of the army Judge ad vocate general's department, , and counsel for the senate committee, Fox said that it was the business of the publication committee of the brewers' association to advertise the product of brewers and that in doing so it employed writers to "write up certain subjects" relating to the brewers' trade. Writers ' named in this connection were John Koren, of New York, who wrote matter published jn The At lantic Monthly, and whose salary was believed by Fox to be $5,000 a year; Dr. Edward H. Williams, author of articles published in medical and other Journals and J. O. Rice. Fok on Stand. When Secretary Fox was called to the stand he produced . on subnoena from the committee, a bulky package of letters, pamphlets a'hd other 4ocu menu of the brewers' association. The witness disclaimed any personal knowledge of activity by the associa tion In political fields in behalf of state or national legislative candidates favorable to legislation permitting the ubc of beer and light .wines. Fox stated that when the brewers'! .realised 'something was brewing be sides beer' referring to the' prohibi. tion movements," they endeavored to meet it, advocating use of beer and light wines. It was sought to reach leaders of public thought and also the masses of the people. In both efforts; the witness said, mistakes had been made and, finally, the popular propa ganda was abandoned and attention centralized on the leaders of opinion.
