TRENTON. N. J.. April Is. lss5-EThe
Senate Investigating Committee. at its
session on Tuesday. will look a little
further into the books of the Heinz Print
ing Company of Newark IN an effort
to trace some of the money paid for
printing State documents in German into
the hands of outside parties. The COM
mittee has a theory. which is said to
be supported by statements made by
several persons. that a good deol Of the
money of which the State has been
robbed has gone for Campaign funds.
The statements come from those who
nave heard the stories as current gossip.
and SO far the committee has been I'M
able to get any convincing evidence to
support the theory.
After disposing of the printing and sta
tionery business. 1t is expected that
Counsellor Corbin will look into the
charges that bonuses ave been paid
by the banks for State funds deposited
with them. Mr.. Corbin has been tnyesti-
Rating the charges ever since they were
first made public by Assemblyman Mat
lack during the legislative session. It
was difficult to get evidence. but the
demands for a thorough inquiry have
been many and strong. and 1t rs re-
ported that the committee has finally OBJ
tanned the names of persons who can
give them the information they have
been seeking.

SOCIALISTS GAINS.
One interesting feature about the vote
on TUESDAY was the prominence that
the Socialistie Labor party took in the
local contests. 1t is rather new TO find
them with candidates for Common Coun-
oil and F~reeholders. The LEGISLATURE
andpthe Executive always attracted their
energy in former years. but now. to
to keep up the interest. they go into
local contests. and have made a show
