Engaged for Statistical Work
when Mr.. Fox was called, he ex-
planned that Mr.. Koren was not under
any obligation to write or do work
favorable to the brewers, that he had
been engaged for statistical work and
was entirely free to write his own
views. Mr.. Fox knew about the Ham

MIR. Monahan, Mr. Fox said, had been
IN the employ Of the association, and
was paid pension in addition to this.
IN IN response to a question by Major
Hlumes, he said he did not know any
thing about the character of "The
Phoenix" as to pro- Germanism.
A report to the publication commit

1915, gave more light on it's methods.
1t said:
Among the important undertakings
was the financing of special investiga-
tions for "Ths Medical Record and
other publications by Dr. E. H. Will
Jams, which resulted in the publica-
tion of a series of most important ar
ticles in the leading medical journals
and also in The Survey The National
Monthly The New York Tribune and
in a number of important papers in
California. Washington and Oregon and
several other states.
We also financed first hand study
OF the temperance movement in Ger
many by George S. Viereck, which re-
suited in the publication of several
articles in The International
ArfacIop -, NEz-AIX..,
"'The National Monthly has pub
lished series Of articles by J. c. Rice,
Of Chattanooga; Cyrus W. Davis, DR..
E. H. Williams, I. T. Martin and others
which have been very widely circulat-
the principal organs of the Admins
tration, and goes to every Democratic
Congressman, besides having bona
fide list of nearly 100000 copies"
Mr. Fox testified that I. T. Martin
had been in the employ of the associa-
tion for some years; that it was pos
sible that Davis had been employed by
the organization bureau of the asso-
citation and at any rate had actively CO.
operated with it, and that j. C. Rice
had been employed by the association
for two years.
Bills from "The National Monthly
for more than $2,OOO, chiefly for the
publication of these articles, were pre-
sented.
Other men who were shown to have
worked for the association were:
e. B. PHELPS. who made widely
circulated report on an investiga-
tion of the relation of alcohol to
mortality and morbidity;
GUSTAVE MOYER, who was re-
tanned to make an investigation of
the relation of alcohol to industrial
accidents and efficiency, the results
