ALLEN MAKES STATEMENT

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 19.- Charles H. Allen, publisher of the Montgomery Advertiser, which testi- mony before a senate Investigating committee today showed was bought in 1915 with money borrowed from a Philadelphia bank with brewers as security, today issued a statement which said:
 'The testimony as given is inac- curate in an important detail which will later be cleared up. No loan of any sort was made to the Montgom- cry Advertiser. I arranged loan with the Northwestern National Bank of Philadelphia for $50,000 each for myself and for Capt. w. T. Sheehan, in the summer of 1915. the total of s1OO,OOO being a part of the purchase price of half the stock owned by Frank P. Glass.
 "The half of the capital stock Of the Advertiser owned by the estate of Major Screws, (former editor and publisher of the Advertiser) was in no way concerned in the loan. The policy of the Advertiser as announced at the time of the purchase of half the stock, was agreed to between the representatives of the estate of Major Screws and the new purchasers as be ing faithful in carrying out the poll cies of the paper as it was conducted under Major Screws.

 Questioned further, by Major E Lowry Humes of the army, judge ad- vocate generals department. and counsel for the senate committee, Fox said it was the business of the brew CTS association to advertise the pro duct of brewers and that in doing so it employed writers to write up cer- tain subjects" relating to the brewers trade
 Writers named in this connection were. John Koren of New York, who wrote matter published in the At lantic Monthly and whose salary was believed by Fox to be S5,0O0 a year; Dr. Edward H. Williams, author of articles published in medical and other journals. and J. c. Rice.
 When Secretary Fox was called to the stand. he produced on subpOenas from the committee, a bulky package of letters, pamphlets and other docu- ments of the brewers association, but no bank checks or stubs He said it had been a long standing practice of the organization to destroy these.
 The witness disclaimed any person al knowledge of activity by the asso- citation in political fields in behalf of state or national legislative candi- dates favorable to legislation permit ting the use of beer and light wines.
 Fox stated that when the brewers realized that something was brewing basidac haarw rafarrinu fo tha nrO- hibition movement, they endeavored to meet it by advocating use of beer and light wines. It sought to reach leaders of public thought and also the masses of the people. In both ef- forts, the witness said. mistakes had been made and, finally, the popular propaganda was abandoned and atten- tion centralized on the leaders of Opin- ion.
 Major Holmes read to the commit tees letters from the files of the brew CTS organization in an effort to show that the brewers organization em- ployed only union labor and that its officers believed that by working through the American Federation of Labor and other labor organizations, it could exercise political influence.

 But they did comprehend the un- usuIl and unheard of manner of their own reception. American soldiers lift ed the little ones to their shoulders, bought them chocolates and did their best to entertain them.

One old man bore the flag of his country, and be- hind him was a small, hastily re- cruited brass band. When the troops arrived the crowds shouted them selves hoarse. The old mans flag was saluted by the officers of the American command.
 Children began to race after the marching columns. Crowds gathered about every detachment. The mayor opened his house and insisted upon serving wine and offering his hOspi- tality to any American who would lodge with him.
