Before

today,
Detective

questioned
as
to
alleged
police
laxity,
refuted
charges
that
there
was
a
pay-oft
system
between
the
underworld
ind
the
police.
The
police,
he
said,
had
been
approached
once
by
two
Chinese
wishing
to
buy
police
pro

for
a
gaming
house
at
$5(1
a
week

again
by
a
lone
Chinese
who
offered
$500
