HOLCoMB WOULDN'T ACT

In regard to Louks' statement that he had received letters containing b-ibe money while he was a member of the state police force. and that he had turned them over to the police commissioners. demanding that they take action against the one who sent them Marcus H. Holcomb. president Of the state police commission, who is also attorney-general of the state, said: We know all about that. Yes. we saw the letters and heard what Mir Louks had to say. There was nothing to it. There was nothing to take any action upon."
 Louks' charges of bribery are sup elementary to a letter which the for mer state policeman sent and which was published yesterday. The letter charges the state police department with corruption. receiving graft and suppressing evidence in cases against illegal resorts.
 q don't know the situation today in the department" said Louks yes- terday at his home in Warrenville, but I know what I received at diff ferent times and what others re- ceived. I have refused to accept graft five different times. The com missioners know of these cases. I de- manded that they prosecute the per son who offered the bribes, and they refused"
 President Holcomb further discussed the Louks' charges in his office at the capitol He appeared greatly amused.- and after reading the Louks letter. said:
 That communication needs no re- ply. It isn't worth noticing. It be- came a question whether MT. Louks was to run the state police depart ment. or the officials duly appointed for that duty were to conduct affairs. The commissioners decided that MT. Louks was not fit for the job. and was assuming too much in trying to run things without consulting his su- periors. and we had to dispense with his services. He ought to have been dismissed two years ago.
 LoukS methods have always been questionable. He had one idea on the brain-to prosecute liquor sellers. Other cases of crime did not disturb him. If d saloon keeper happened to keep his place of business open five minutes overtime. Louks believed that man ought to be arrested at once. Yet. perhaps. there was some excuse far the mans negligence Clocks don't all Keep the same time

LOUkS NOW DECLARES
 BRIBERY WAS IGNORED
discharged State Policeman Says That State Board Wouldn't
 Act When He Produced letters Attempting to E brbe Him

Hartford. Aug 12-Forfner State Policeman Merrill s. Louks. of War renville, in an interview charges that while he was member of the state police force five separate attempts were made to bribe him. each of which he was informed constituted viola ton of the United States postal laws, and that he reported each case to his superiors, with a request that the would-be briber be prosecuted, and. that in each instance, his superiors refused to act or to allow him to lay his evidence before the proper au- thorities.
 Louks charges that letters were sent to him by registered mail, each con- taining a sum of money, and that each letter was turned over to his super iors The sums varied in amount, he said He alleges that after he re- ceived the letters he went to United States District Attorney John T. Rob- insen and related the circumstances.
 Louks says that MT. Robinson told him such an attempt at bribery was a violation of the postal laws and should be prosecuted. Then, LoukS says. he went to his superiors and de- rnanded that he be allowed to lay his evidence before the United States dis trict attorney. He says the board re- fused to allow him to do this.
 The former state policeman says that this attempt at bribery came from a man who had been prosecut- ed for a Violation of law He said the alleged offense was committed a mat ter of four years ago. He refuses to state the amount of the alleged bribes, or of what part of the state the would be briber was resident. He expects. however. that he may be called upon to make more complete Statements later. The state police commission, he says. can tell all the facts connected with the case.
