Monument: BRIBES TO REVENUE | TOWNSMEN GIVE AGENTS REPI]RTEI]‘ MeAuliiie Says That Every Man!The Vice-President-Elect Leaves. Is Ofiered Money Hartford, Feb. 28.—'Sure, 1 have been offered money,” said Thomas C. McAuliffe today when asked whether ha had been offered money in con- nection with his work as federal pro- enforcement officer for Con- “Not only have I been of- fered money, but every agent under direction has been so ap- proached,” declared McAuliffe, “‘but in every instance the offers have been refused and the accused presented for prosecution.” Mr. McAuliffe said today that so far as Connecticut was concerned, no had been made to bribe the ‘agents to permit transportation of liquors, the bribes having been of- fered after the arrests had been made, the purpose being to secure the re- lease of the prisoners so that they would not be presented in court. He declared that the fact that every per- son arrested in the state for violation of the prohibition law had been pre- sented for prosecution was sufficient to indicate that the bribes had not been accepted. When told that the federal auth- orities in Boston had demanded that McCarthy, supervising agent for New England, give all in- formation in his possession relative to the offering of money for lax en- forcement of the prohibition law Mc- Auliffe said this had already been freely given in Connecticut. Mr. McAuliffe, when asked concern- ing one specific instance where a bribe had been offered to him, men- tioned a case in Bridgeport, but de- clined to name the man who had of- fered the bribe. He said the infor- mation had been turned over to the office of the U. S. attorney and the matter either had been investigated or was in the process of investiga- tion.

The Coolidges went away with the Godspeed of hun- dreds of their fellow citizens who were at the station to sce them off. The demonstration which was held in a drizzle of rain, was a spontaneous one but nevertheless was representa- tive of all the community. Men of business and the profes- | sions with the women of their families ! came to add their word and the demo- cratic nature of the sendoff was shown when the former governor gathered to him in an embrace James a shoemaker, whom he de- scribed to newspapermen as his phil- osopher friend. The vice-president-elect and Mrs. Coolidge left behind their two young sons who will remain here and fin- ish their schooling. The boys will go to Washington with- their grendfath- er on Thursday, returning home in time to begin the week’s school work on Monday. They will continue to live at the family home in the care of a housekeeper.

Stearns and his family from Boston, close friends of the Coolidges, were passengers.
