HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ALLIANCE USED BY BREWERS TO ELECT SLATE Pennsylvania Branch Closely Allied With 'Wets," Rec ords Indicate Washington, March 12. —The Na tional German-American Alliance, as it is organized 'in Pennsylvania, has shown a deeper interest in stem ming the tide of prohibition senti ment than in postering pro-German propaganda, it was shown at yester day's hearing by the Senate judiciary committee on the King bill to re voke the alliance's charter. E. Lowry Humes, United States attorney at Pittsburgh, who exposed the brewers' Hlush fund used in Pennsylvania political campaigns, was the principal witness, lie de clared that after several years' in quiry into the activities of the ulli ance in Western Pennsylvania he concluded that its principal business was lighting prohibition. The am munitions used, he said, was largely checks frqm the' brewing interests. Mr. Himes gave the committee a record of the minutes of the Alle gheny County German-American Al liance covering the years 1914, 1915 and 1916. These records are steep ed in references to the alliance's fight against prohibition, and the names of many persons prominent in the political life of Pennsylvania are mentioned. On January 27, 1916, they record the fact that "replies from Senators Penroee and Oliver and Mr. Garland have been received acknowledging Ihe interest of the alliance in pro hibition measures." The Garland referred to is Congressman-at-large Mahlon M. Garfield, of Pittsburgh. Early in 1916, according to the minutes, the alliance began to pick its candidate for public office. A slate prepared in advance of the primary elections shows that the first choice of the alliance for President of the United States was Henry Ford, who a while previously piloted the peace ship Oscar II and the peace party to Europe. Pari of Slate Won The choice of the alliance for United States senator from Pennsyl vania. according to the minutes, was Philander C. Knox, who won. For congressmen-at-large from Pennsyl vania the alliance chose Messrs. Ora go, Garland and McLaughlin, who were nominated by the Republicans and elected, and the' fourth choice was Isadore Stern, of the Fifth ward of Philadelphia, a representative in the Legislature, who was not nomi nated, but who is again a candidate. Joseph Keller, of Indianapolis, vice-president of the National Ger man-American Alliance, also a wit ness, to-day, categorically admitted that the activities of the alliance dur ing the last five or ten years were totally at variance with the specific purposes for which the organization was granted a charter by Congress. Mr. Keller, who has lived in Amer ica for thirty-six years, is a mem ber of the school board of Indiana polis. He is also chairman of the organization and propaganda com mittee of the alliance, and in that capacity directed the expenditure of funds contributed by brewers to create and foster sentiment against prohibition legislation in eight west ern states and against the election of candidates pledged to prohibi tion. Senator Sterling, of South Dakota, read the terms of the charter grant ed to the alliance by Congress. These terms outline the purposes of the organization and they include the conservation of the principles of rep resentative government, the protec tion and maintenance of all civil and political rights, the protection of German immigrants, the study of American history and institutions and the cultivation of the German language, literature and drama. Admits Change of Object "So far as you know," asked Sena tor Sterling, "the principal activities of the alliance have been political, intended to influence opinion in the several states in behalf of the brew ers and liquor dealers. Is that right?" "Yes, sir," was the reply. "As a matter of fact," continued the senator, "you collected and dis tributed funds for none of the pur poses set out as those for which the German-American Alliance was formed, did you?" "No," answered Keller, "except that several books on German-Amer ican history have been published." "Since the moment America went! to war with Germany I have advo- j cated complete loyalty to this coun- ; try's cause upon all German-Amer icans with whom I have come in; contact," he asserted. "Right after the war started I asked the Indiana- i polis City Alliance, of which I am the head, to give SIOO to the Amer ican Red Cross, which was done.! Later I urged that the alliance give; its entire wealth, S7OO, toward the purchase of Liberty Bonds, and this! has been done. My two boys vol- j unteered in the American army are there now. Every member of! my family has purchased Liberty i Bonds as a patriotic duty. That in- 1 eludes mvself. We are all members of the American Bed Cross and 1 i personally have been a member for many years. • It is grossly unfair that j I should be attacked as a German j from my own home city." propagandist by senders of telegrams Lewistown Naval Officer Tells of Active Service in Letter Written Before Death "The large German submarines are operating in this vicinity and shelled the Madeira Islands the other day. They are of the Deutschland style with 70 men and five officers aboard and have five fi-inch guns besides their torpedoes. We are in the very thick of the submarine zone and will stay here indefinitely." This is not very encouraging news to receive, think the friends of Earl W. F. Childs, U. S. N>, Submarine L-2, who wrote this to his parents in Lewistown just before reports reached America of his death by sinking on a British warship in the Mediterranean. He was by all ac counts "in the very thick" of Hun torpedoes. Child's mother received a cablegram from British authorities saying that her son perished in the attack, but ever since she has hopes that this would prove untrue. "You would be surprised if you knew the extent of our naval forces over here," he said in his last letter. "I am lieutenant now, which in this service gives me the same rank as captain in the Regular Army. I was very proud of navigating the L-2 for over 1,500 miles through storms without being able- to get sights for longitude. There was one time since I left the states that 1 did not have my clothes off for fourteen days. In this trip our chronometer went out of adjustment and we were helpless. We sure looked at death, Mother and l>ttd, face to face, tlio past three weeks, but that la to be expected." JStoPmcMtZ HBLIi 1001—23541 UNITED HARRISBURG, TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1018.
