Sand Contract Held Up,

Judge Sulzberger. in the Philadelphia
Court of Common Pleas on Friday, grant
ed preliminary INDUCTION in a taxpayers
billie equity filed by Jerome 81. Louchheim
The order prevents the city from carrying
out the Torresdale filtration sand contract
with Norcross & Edmunds Security was
required in the sum of $4,000. NJ. Hamp.
ton Todd and Samuel X. Louchheim,
in addition to summoning Norcross &
Edmunds as defendants. also named the
city. Mayor Weaver and Thomas L. Hicks,
Director of Public Works.
The principal contention was that al
though Norcross & Edmunds got the con-
tract their bid was several thousands of dol
lars in excess of Louchheim's. The bids
for the sand were opened last Septem-
Der. Louchheim's figure was $328, 1874. 48.
That of Norcross & Edmunds was 1885,
$50. AZ.
When the schedule of bids was proposed,
it is declared, Director Hicks, without the
knowledge of other bidders, under a pri-
vate agreement, permitted Nsrcross 6 Ed
munds to put in a supplemental bid.
This was alleged to be in pursuance of
communication sent by Norcross & Ed
munds to A. Lincoln Acker, then Director
of Public Works. in which they offered to
do the work for s3O2, 1856, provided they
were allowed to use certain railroad sidings
and carry their materials without added
freight charges

Extortion Charged.


The publication in the Newark Evening
Nesos of the text of an affidavit in which
two Senators are accused of attempted ex'
tortion, created sensation at Trenton. on
Wednesday. The charge is made against
Senator Shinn. of Ocean county, and Sena.
tor Martens. of Hunterdon, who are mem
bers Of the Committee on Labor and Indus
tries.
In the affidavit Philip Krimke. president
OF the New Jersey Pawnbrokers' Associa-
ton. alleges that the two Senators had at
tempted to extort $500 apiece from the as
sociation for holding up Senate bill 1874.
which seeks to protect workmen whose
tools are stolen and then pawned.
Krimke declared that he was sent for by
lobbyist and told to bring lots Of money
to Trenton. He came and was ushered
into one of the Senate committee rooms,
where Messrs. 6hinn and Martens demand
ed $1,000 for holding up the bill. He re-
fused and they demanded $780, He again
refused and compromised on $500. He
was to bring the money the next day, and
when he did not come on time the bill was
advanced to third reading and then pulled
back by Mr.. Shinn for q more drastic
amendment than ever.
Krimke says that he then took counsel
and made the affidavit. which will be for
warded to Governor Stokes.
The newspaper publication was read by
the Senators before the Senate closed
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Shinn was In
his seat, but Mr.. Martens had gone home
early in the afternoon.
Senator Shinn says the afidavit Ia base
calumny, that he had talk with some one
about this bill. but no money was spoken
of. nor was there any consideration offered
bill. He points to the fact that he inserted
on Tuesday a more drastic measure and
then says that he will sue fer libel, after
first rising in his place In the Senate at the
next session of the upper house. and de-
handing that the matter be fully investi-
gated that his honor may be cleared.
After the opening of the Senate, last
night, Messrs. Shinn and Martens made
formal denials of the extortion charges.
Senator Shinn, addressing the chair said
II rise to question of personal privilege
1 desire to present the following state
ment, and ask that it be read In full to the
Senators"
In the statement the Senator made
positive denial of the charges. denounced
them as lies and declared that they were
made for revenge. He asked that full
and clear investigation be made.
Senator Martens presented request that
the charges be Investigated. His request,
like Senator Shinn's. was in the nature of
denial, and said that the charges had
been made for the purpose of running his
good name and casting reflections upon
the other Senators.
Senator Hillery, leader Of the majority,
presented resolution providing for the
appointment of committee of three Sena-
tors to Investigate the charges. The reso,
luton was carried. and President Bradley
appointed the Judiciary Committee, con-
sisting of Senators Hillery, Wakelee and
Minturn. as a committee to conduct the
investigation.
