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."
