' THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. .- TUESDAY, AUGUST- 22, 1923 107 ’ “ He Couldn’t Afford It Then-- ~ Now He Hasn’t Time A wealthy merchant said to some friends once: “There was a time when I had a desire to possess things and go places, but I couldn’t afford it. So I decided to save what little I could and keep on working. “Now I can afford it but I haven’t the time because I have accumulated much money and have many business interests. But soon I shall sit back and enjoy what I have earned.” You can’t buy much pleasure by spending all when you have little. But by saving little you can, in the long run, have much. And then you can have pleasures worth while, Start that savings account with us today. MT.

PORT AU PRINCE STIRRED Campaign on for Puniuhmeit of Officials Accused of Graft and Falsifications. By the Assoclated Press, PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, August| 22.—The recent attempt to shoot| Edouard Mangones, the mayor of this | city of 150,000 peopld, followed within twenty-four hours by cither the sui | cide or murder of the city receiver, have created a sensation unusual fori Haiti. The resort to firearms, to-| gether with fales of a mystery car| with three gunmen operating at night, are new symptoms for Uaitian | politics. In the past crimes of vio- | lence were usually accomplished by the secret use of poi n or other methods. Since the n on_there have not been more than =ix murders. and what may prove to be a crime wave is an unusual manifestation. | Local Omci Absolutely unkno Accused. nin a century of Haitian local government is the de- termined campaign of Mayor Man- ones, backed by the influcnce of resident Borno und the American- | officered gendarmerie, 1o prosecute local officials charged with shorlage of funds, falsification of tax receipts and graft. Mangones, a man of means, an aristocrat and a4 business man. has created consternation among the poli- ticians. Last May he forced the resignation of the communale receiver for al| shortage of $5.000 in his accounts, the | receiver claiming that his safe had been robbed of that amount three months before, although he had not reported it. Following that threc of- ficlals were arrested for alleged falsification of tax receipts to the ex- tent of several thousand dollars. Then came an investigation of Ludovic Monplaisir, director of cemeteries. who had long been a partisan ad- herent of Mangones. In the course of It Monplaisir tried to shoot Mangones, seriously wounding one of his per- sonal cabinet, Edmond Millet. Body of New Receiver Found. the dead The following morning body of the new receiver. Clement Denize, was found. Whether his death was due to murder or suicide has not been established. Reports of a mysterious automobile complicated the situation and gave rise to the theory of murder-as part of a planned campaign of intimidation by the mayor's enemies. On the other hand, an investigation of Denize's office had been ordered for the following day by Mangones. Mangones has gone relentlessly on, whatever the truth of the Denize mystery may prove to be, and the Americans and other foreigners are delighted at this evidence of a grow- ing civic responsibility. For more than a century local graft and mal- feasance have been winked at, but Mangones, a man of personal courage and ‘honesty, promises a continuation of his campaign. WALSH FETED IN MOSCOW.
