 The documents then include state ment by Feigenspan, dated July 80, 1918, which says:
 During the month of June, 1917, to the best of my recollection, the mat ter of the Washington Times became of mutual interest to Mir. Arthur Bris- bane and a number of brewers. MT. Brisbane, as I have been informed by him. had an option to purchase tthe Washington Times from Mir. Frank A.. Muhsey for a sum which l recall as heinz S5O0,OO0. The terms of this sale. as I recall them, were that S250.-t 900 was to be paid down, the balance1 to be paid in installments of $5O,0OOI each every six months.
 Tn order to bring about the pur chase of the Washington Times, l att various times advanced Mir. Brisbane funds through the Gorwing Circula- ton corporation, corporation which l believe is either owned or controlled by Mir. Brisbane. The aforesaid funds were advanced on the dates and in Il6 dluOuHlH dH nGlElAldllNl SpCNAAACA and in the following manner:
 q first drew a check or checks on the account of the Federal Trust com pany which stood in my name as trus tee. such check or checks being pay able to the order of the Federal Trust company. and the Federal Trust com pany then in turn would deliver to me Q treasurer's check of the Federal Trust company, payable to bearer which treasurer's checks l, in turn. delivered to MT. Brisbane personally
 A letter from Brisbane to Feigen- span defining the terms of the loan is next given. This previously had been published by Mir. Brisbane. It sets forth that a number of brewers, in-f cluding Feigenspan were ready to loan $500, ,OOO for the purchase and establishment of a newspaper, and that at the end of five years so much was to be repaid as Brisbane deter mined as the business of the paper warrented; that no interest was to be charged but that the loan was to be returned if the paper were sold, NIT. Brisbane had stated that he declined to accept the loan without interest.
 His only security, Feigenspan de- l clared in his statement to the alien property custodian, is the $3O0,00O | note of the Growing Circulation cor poration.
 The alien property custodian makes no comment upon the documents but simply includes them in a letter to Senator King Of Utah, the author oi the resolution which cancelled the | charter of the German-American ai- | liance. and then passes to the two letters by Konta to support his charge in his Harrisburg speech that "the or ganiZed liquor traffic has been pro German in its sympathies." and that these great interests actually have been willing to finance great news papers for the purpose of spreading
