The fight is under way now in the Senate judiciary committee, to which the investigation resolution- has been referred. On Monday the committee is expected to decide whether the in vestigation, shall be made, the time of its making and the extent to which It will proceed. Respecting all three of these propo sitions, the brewing interests and those politicians who respond to the urgings of such interests have definite suggestion. Investigation la Opposed. . First, they are opposed to any inves tigation. If the investigation is de cided upon they wanted a subcommittee appointed composed of men friendly to the brewing interests and such activ ities by the brewers as have been re valed in the purchase of the Washing ton Times for Mr. Brisbane. They fur ther want the investigation, if it is in evitable, postponed until after the elec tlons, and they want it so restricted that it may not proceed further than the developments which may come in connection with the purchase of the Times. To this end they are seeking to pre vent the issue being sent to a subcom mittee headed by Senator King, of Utah, which already is Investigating . Oernian activities, and they have urged Senator Culberson, chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, to ap point his own committee. The question will be settled Monday. Letter Read Into Record.
