Mr.. Krimke on Monday night ~
''Some one spoke to Martens and my
self about them in the committee-room,

to fix the bill in proper shape and offered
an amendment for that purpose yester-
day"

to me to inroduce and I did so. They

plains it ALL" the Hunterdon man said
in response to a query, and / don't want

s.Did you have talk with Mr.. Krimke
and Senator Shinn over the bills as Mr..
Krimke alleges?v the Senator was asked.
I'VE mad talk with some one, don't
remember who, but there was nothing to
it.

Nothing was said about money, as I
remember IT,
''Did you or Senator shinn ask for
$1,000 and then drop to $500 or S4o0?7
Now, you had better see Senator
lShinn, was Martens's reply. Il was
only there short time and do not re-
member clearly what did occur, but if
can find that letter it will explain the
bills"
Asked why he did not introduce the
bills himself instead of having Shinn do
it, Martens said the Ocean Senator had
better luck with his bills.
There are not many pawnbrokers in
Ocean County, where shinn resides, or
in Hunterdon but there are many in
Hudson, where Frederick nissan, the al
legged originator of the bills, halls from.
Nissan is an employe Of the Board of
Works in Jersey City, who has attended
every legislative session for years.

al of the clergy, who claim that the
change will remove the saloon from poll
tics.
The brewers are not opposed to the
amendment. but claim there is no reason
or public demand for change of the
system in granting licenses. They con-
tend that the governing board of every
municipality should be empowered to
grant licenses. because e-eet.ve boards
are closer 10 the people.
The bishops and other clergymen who
made such strenuous effort to secure
the enactment of the measure, which was
introduced by Senator Hutchinson on
February 10, would not recognize the bill
as it now appears.
All the provisions for tie removal of
screens or doing away with back or side
rooms are retained, but the enforcement
Of that rule is left to local governing
boards of municipalities, who shall deter
mine whether il shall be enforced.
The minimum license fee is fixed at
$500 in all. cases and revocation of license
is provided for where liquor is sold or
given to minor, under eighteen years,
for use for the minor or any one else.
A brand-new feature of the bill is a
proyiso that all excise commissioners, ex-
cept where they are now elected, shall be
appointed BY the county judge Of the
county. This applies particularly to
Newark and Jersey City, where the
Mayor now appoints and is in reality a
