Ex- State Cop In Sensational. Reply
 To Chief CoWles
Detective Louks, Who is Stir ring Police Circles in New maven, Now Makes Serious Graft Charges Against His Former Boss, Chief Egan of the State Police
Special from United Press.)

New Haven, Oct. 10-Detective Mer- Till s. Louks of the Prohibition par ty, who reported to Liquor Prosecutor Dlckerman the case of alleged ''wide open' Chapel street barroom which he had claimed to have visited, election day, is now out with a sensational re- ply to Chief Cowles' reference to hin, as state policeman in which he makes startling charges against Chief Egan of the state police. His letter follows:
 As the undersigned had the opening perhaps I ought to give Chief Cowles the closing argument but when he says I was dishonorably discharged from the state police department and never mentioned graft until after was dismissed, why the c1ief just starts me off again This continuity of the limelight is very distasteful. now have my discharge papers and the words dishonorably or dishonesty do not appear there
 ''In September. 1909, I went before the full board of state commissioners and charged Thomas Egan with hav- Ing received graft on many occasions, also protecting gamblers, saloonkeep- CTS and disorderly houses from Oneco to Portchester, giving towns names, dates, times and places. Remember, did this after having faced the com missioners and having said to them, Unless I am permitted to do honest police work you have my badge I made the charges in writing and sign- ed them and I stand by them, today
 T have turned over to .Superinten- dent Egan thousands of dollars and he has refused to give one receipt, while demanding a duplicate receipt for ev- cry payment made to me. I have nev- CT solicited Or taken a dollar in graft from any ones hands, but I have, as state officer, received 1t through the mail in ten and twenty dollar pieces ,ten, twenty and forty dollars at time in greenbacks and each and every time when I have put the dis position of the graft up to Superinten- cent Egan his reply was, Turn it in
 The Investigation of Superintendent Egan was the most notorious farce ever held in Connecticut except at a mock trial in a country schoolhouse The state police officers were not all there, there was no stenographer.
 sThe Superintendent was not brought before the commission while I was present and consequently | was not permitted to ask him any questions or if any answers were made to the com rnisisoners by Superintendent Egan, was not permitted to hear or to know them. Faithfully Yours, Merrill s. Kouks.''

 SMILING CHAPTERS
Special from United Press.

Washington, Oct. 10-Declaring man. icure girls to be "grafters, obtaiping money under false pretenses," E. B. Martin a Washington businessman, today. urged the district authorities to require such young women to pass examinations to prove that they "know at least as much about polish ing nails as smiling at customers
 s'Dozens of girls in Washington bar bershops are butchering mems hands and calling it .manicuring,' . says Martin. "It should be made illegal for them to work without first procur- ing licenses from a competent examin- ing board.
 "A man goes into barbership and there finds a petite maid who has as many different kinds of smiles as a candidate out for a second term. It is but few minutes before he finds himself succumbing to her charms. while she is going through the pre- tense of manicuring his nails"
 The district officials today. shied at Martins proposition. One of the com- missioners said he feared there would be too many men anxious to serve on the examining board.

COMPLETE AUTO EQUIPMENT FOR
 FIRE FIGHTING

New Haven, Oct. 10.-It may not be generally known, but it is nevesthe- less fact, that West Haven enjoys the distinction of being the first com 'munity on record in the world ts have a fire department equipped en- tirely with auto apparatus. The new com bination engine, chemical and hose carriage stationed at the cen- tral house beside the town hall has a capacity of 1,200 feet of hose, a chemical tank of 35 gallons and a of $50 gallons of water a minute, q speed of 35 miles an hour, and is registered to carry a load of 10000 pounds.
 The auto ladder truck is the Hook and Ladder company's old truck fit- ted with one of the latest appurten- ances known to automobile science the Tractor. This, truck, amply equip ped as it was for all the needs of the borough, is by the addition of the Tractor, in place of horses, brought right -to-tle-minute, making fl now a worthy successor to itself. full ly qualified to keep company with the rest of the department. The two new hose carriages and chenica, trucks put into service in the North End and at Savin Rock, have a ca- pacity of 1900 feet of hose, a 35 gal lon chemical tank, a speed of 40 miles an hour. and registered to car ry a load of 5000 pounds-a sturdy machine equal to any task demanded of it. 4 s.,ss&az ,ig.. sz. i ..
 The old board of warden and bur gesses purchased machines which, while they have been usd for some time in an unfinished state by the Knox company as demonstration cars, have never been owned by or used In any other fire department and are In no wise second hand machines. On the North End machine every part ls absolutely new except the iron work on the frame, and the wheels ana these are in first class condition, ana on the Savin Rock machine every part is new except the iron frame. The motors were built less than two years ago and the cylinders have been re- fitted with new parts. These ma chimes have never had body on them before. They are guaranteed fectly new car, and the cost of these is $2,350 for each, whereas g. new car would cost $5,000. These cars at $1,- $50 each, the triple com bination In the center at $7,000, and the new tractor at $2 500 amounts to the sum of s14.20o. the interest of which IS 4 per cent amounts to $668. Hay ing a grand list of $6,00O,O0O in the borough, surely no one considers such an expense as extravagant, but rather in the light of an absolute necessity an improvement that has been cry ing for recognition for years past.
 The cost of maintaining the de- partment property does not necessf- tate any increase in the appropr1a- tions over what has heretofore op- tained, owing to the more econom1cai cost of running lself-propelled appa- ratus.
 The borough has also purcha the property formerly owned by Hook and Ladder company No. 1. This property, including the truck, was bought for the sum of $2s500 and whereas the borough formerly paid $9O per year through their appropria- tion to the company for interest aI per cent. on $1,500 and owned noth- ing; it will inthe future pay $1O0 year for interest at per cent. on $2,- 500, and own all of 1t.

 LEADS TO DISCOVERY OF
 ENORMOUS POLICE GRAFT
Special from United Press

-
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 10-That Premier Stolypin was assasinated as result of his discovery of enormous graft in the secret police department, is strong ly indicated by the evidence brought out during the investigation of the murder. .
 On the eve Of his death, Stolypin asked General Kourloff, chief of the secret police to account for s450, ,o0o which his department had received.
 On the night of the murder, Stoly- pins aide-de-camp was refused ad- mission to the opera by order of the police and five seats behind the Pre- mier were kept vacant in order, it is believed, that the assassin might have clear view of his victim.
 After the shooting, M Spiridovitch, next in command to General KouriOff made a desperate effort to kill Bogroff. It is charged that he wished to get rid of a very dangerous accomplice who might be induced to confess and inn plicate the exalted instigators of his crime. -e.

THE FIRST AERoPLANE AT FEz.
(Fron Le Matin.l

For several days we had been await ing the arrival of the Aviator Breg1. We knew that this daring pilot had in- tended to stop at Rabat only few days and to continue his flight to Mekjnez and Fez almost Immediately The Sultan passed whole days on the terraces studying the horizon in the direction of Mount Zerhun look ing for the fantastic apparition which in the imagery of their own language the natives have christened field tent which flies with noise"
 We had seen nothing and already we were discouraged and feared that the aviator had encountered unfore- seen difficulties on the road and per- haps paid with the life for an attempt certain to be historic hereafter
 At noon some breathless messengers arrived from Mekinez with the new that the aeroplane had halted in the vicinity of this-ancient city, blaming down from a height of 5000 feet by a superb flight; that, setting out from Rabat at 5:30 a. m., the aviator nao arrived at Mekinez at ' o'clock and that it was his intention to start for the capitol that same night, so as to arrive with the firing of the gun which in Ramadan marks the end of the daily fast and the beginning Of the evening rejoicing.
 Immediately all the Europeans in Fez and a multitude of natives pass ed inc walls and started for the great nIain on which is situated the camp of Dar-Debibagh. But night cams aud no aeropians.
 We were breathless. A wind from the interior blew in squalls and we supposed that this had prevented the attempt Fires were laid ready to be lighted to guide in the descent. We returned after sunset much disap- pointed.
 The next morning about 6:30 o'clock we were aroused by an unusual noise. We easily distinguished the regular beat of the motor.
 We ran to the terraces. It was Bregi. who had arrived without hav- ing been able to forewarn us of the exact hour of the passing over Fez. He had left Mekinez before o'clock
