TRENTON, Feb. 19:-Seven 1egis-
lative hearings, involving ten senate
and assembly bills now before vari-
Gus committees of the law-making
body, will be held today and tomor-
row. The hearing on the Hoffman
bill providing for the purchase of
the right of way for the new ship
canal with the Morris canal funds
will take place this afternoon.
A hearing will be held by the SEN
ate committee on highways, of which
Senator Mathis of Ocean is chair
man, on various bills intended to
add more sections of road to the
state highway system. The bills are
likely to meet with a stormy career,
in view of what took place in the
senate last week, when there was a
prolonged debate over the adding of
a route from Camden to Toms River
to the state road system. The bill
was introduced in the senate by
Mathis. Regarding the practice of
adding more roads to the state sys-
tenn by piece-meal legislation, Sena-
tor Arthur N. Pierson, Republican,
of Union, declared that it was a case
of II tickle you, and you tickle me-"
when votes were snapped" by legis-
lators each with pet road up his
sleeve. Senator Clarence e. Case
added that it was not "honest legis-
lation" to pile more miles of road
on the state road system, when New
Jersey cannot pay for the building
and upkeep of the roads already al
located to the state highway system.
The bills to be given hearings by
the highways committee are: Sena-
tor Bright, Cape May, adding the
route from Seaville to ,Absecon to
the state highway system; Richards,
Of Atlantic; connecting state high
way route 4 in Absecon to route IA
at Seaville, Cape May county; Wall
worth, of Camden, Senate president,
adding to the state road system, a
road from Absecon to Seaville.

ALLEGED MOVIE
BRIDE HEARING
Another Investigation viii be
Held Today by the State
Senate

] TRENTON, Feb. 19.-In order to
find out who is telling the truth and
who is committing perjury, as well
as to sift the charges to the very
bottom. the legislative committee
which Is probing the charges of bri-
berry in connection with the Sunday
movie bills now in the legislature,
will hold another hearing here to-
day. Last week at the commence
ment of the probe, two witnesses
gave Numerically opposite testi-
mony regarding the same events, one
witness, Lionel Wilson, of West Ho-
boken, a detective for the Lords
Day Alliance, testifyeSg that Louis
Bollinger, a Jersey City theatre own
er had declared it would take S.
600 each to. Fix" certain South Jer-
sey senators in favor of the bill and
Bellinger entering a categorical de-
NAL that he had ever said the things
attributed to him.
The probe grew out Of a declara-
ton by Rev. Frank Ritter, Of Jer-
sey City, in connection with a Lords
Day Alliance convention here some
time ago, that the House Of Assem-
bly, and certain members of the sem
ate had been bought" to pass a bill
by Senator Alexander Simpson,
Democrat, of Hudson, calling for a
liberal Sunday, with sports and mo-
ton pictures.
At the hearing last week, Wilson
asserted that Bollinger had once
carried on a conversation about the
alleged bribery with Fred Hensel,
another Jersey City theatre-owner,
as Wilson was standing close by. 1t
was alleged that Bollinger said four
votes were needed in the senate from
South Jersey senators, to pass the
Simpson bill, and that South Jersey
senator's were ''hard-boiled" and
that it would cost 100000 to get the
four additional votes for the bill. The
conversation was testified to have
taken place across the 15-foot lobby
of Bollinger's theatre, the two men
supposedly speaking loud enough to
be heard Gro the space. An en-
ploye of Bollinger, Mirror by name,
will be subpoenaed for today's hear
ing, as Wilson testified he was near
and could not help hearing what was
said. Neither Mirror nor Hensel
were present at last weeks hearing,
as the committee was not aware OF
their alleged knowledge of the con-
;versation testified to by Wilson.
Senator Arthur Whitney, chair
man of the probe committee will
ask that a lawyer be named chair
man because of the legal nature of
the hearing.
