 The documents then include a state ment by Feigenspan, dated July 30, 191S which says:
 During the month of June. 1917. 10 the best of my recollection, the matter Of the Washington Times became of mutual interest to MT. Arthur Brisbane and number of brewers Mr. Bris- pane. as have been informed by him. had an option to purchase the Wash lhston Times from Mir Frank A. Nun sey for sum which I recall as being s5O0.00O. The terms of this sale. as [ recall them, were that $25OO00 was tc be paid down, the balance to be paid in instalments of $500 each every six months.
 Advanced Brisbane Funds l In order to bring about the purchase ot the Washington Times, I at various times advanced MT. Brisbane funds | through the Growing Circulation Cor poration, a corporation which believe Is either owned or controlled by Mir Brisbane. The aforesaid funds were advanced on the dates and in the amounts as hereinafter specified and ill llle lohoWlllS manner:
 T first drew a check or checks on the account at the Federal Trust com pany which stood in my name as trus- tee, such check or checks being payable to the order of the Federal Trust com pany. and the Federal Trust company then in turn would deliver to me treasurers check of the Federal Trust | company, payable to bearer which treasurers checks I, in turn, delivered to MT. Brisbane personally" Defines Loan Terms
 letter from Brisbane to Feigen- span defining the terms of the loan is next given. This previously has been published by MT. Brisbane. It sets forth that number of brewers inclui- ing Feigenspan were ready to loan Brisbane $50000O for the purchase and establishment of a newspaper and that at the end of five years so much was to be repaid as Brisbane determined as the business of the paper warranted, that no interest was to be charged but that the loan was to be returned if the paper were sold. MT. Brisbane has stated that he declined to accept the loan without interest
 His only security, Feigenspan de- clared in his statement to the alien property custodian. is the s300,000 note of the Growing Circulation corpora tion.
 The alien property custodian makes no comment upon the document, but simply includes them in a letter to Senator King of Utah, the author of the resolution which canceled the char ter of the German American Alliance, and then passes to the two letters by konta to support his charge in his Harrisburg speech that "the organized liquor traffic has been pro- German in its sympathies," and that these great interests actually have been willing to finance great newspapers for the pur- pose of spreading German propaganda and sentiments in this country"
 Konta's letter to Tauscher includes some expressions of doubtful compli- mentary nature as to Bernard Dern- burgs value as German agent here. but informs Tauscher that at Bernard Dernburg's request he has canvassed the prospects of buying a newspaper
 The letter to Dernburg written March 31. 1915, goes into the subject of "the purchase and publication of a daily newspaper in this country in the interests of Germany and the German government" It proceeds to discuss | various New York newspapers from | the point of their success. proceeding | from that to make deductions on the | likelihood of their sale.
 Considers Prohibition.
 Next Konta took up the relation of | the prohibition agitation to the ques- | tion in hand and wrote:
 Prohibition is seriously occupying | the minds of the brewers and distillers Of this country. It is not question | of temperance. which they advocate, | htIt of tho apt1ta1 r,robi it;o,, b,- lac. of the sale of beers, wines and liquors. paper that would not be hostile to the personal liberty of the citizen to drink in moderation what he pleased. could count upon the powerful support | Of the brewers and the distillefs to command illimitable capital and, what is more, means of giving the paper in question a circulation large enough to 1 attract advertisers
