Senators to Decide
Scope of Brisbane
Investigation Today

Especial Dispatch to Tie TrtGune)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Plans for
the Senate inquiry into the activities
Of the brewers, which was ordered as
the result OF the exposure that brewing
interests were behind the purchase OF
THE Washington Times" by Hearst's
editor, Arthur Brisbane. Will be made
at meeting OF the committee con
ducting the inquiry, beginning at / | to-
morrow morning. senator Overman,
chairman of the sub committee, re-
turned to-day from a trip to his home
and Immediately issued the call for the
meeting.
The chief point to be decided is
whether to make the scope of the in
vestigation as wide AS POI. bic or to
limit it so nearly as can be " the Brs-
bane deal. Both points o. view are
represented on the committee. but the
members who favor !, full opening OF
the whole situation are confident that
before the work is over all the evidence
obtainable Will be presented. Senator
Jones. Of Washington. author of the
resolution under which the committee
is acting, declared to-day that if any
thing appeared calling for more au-
thorty than his resolution gives an
appeal would be made to the Senate for
broader powers mandatory. if neces-
sary-and predicted that in the present
state of public opinion there would be
no difficulty in getting them.
The other chief line OF investigation
viii be the evidence that has come into
the hands Of A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien
Property Custodian. through his seiz-
ure of breweries owned by alien enc
mics. Many confidential papers and
accounts relating TO the general activ-
ity of the brewers are included in this
evidence. 1t has not all been pub
lishcd. Palmer hasebeen able to trace
the expenditure Of large sums by
brewing interests and to unravel the
threads of a considc able intrigue In
the speech in which he first CHARGED
that the brewing interests were behind
Brisbane he also declared that these
interests were disloyal and pro-Gcr-
man. He has SO far offered no evidence
on that score.
