Port-Au-Prince Haiti. - The recent
attempt to shoot Edouard Magones, the
mayor of this city Of 10000 people,
followed within "a hours by either the
suicide or murder of the city receiver,
have created a sensation unusual for
Haiti. The resort to firearms together
with tales Of mystery car with three
gunner operating at night, are new
symptoms for Haitian policies. In the
past crimes of violence were usually
accompanied by the secret use of poi
son or other methods. Since the &C.
cupation there have not been more
than six murders, and what prove to
be crime wave is an unusual mani
festation.
Absolutely unknown in a century of
Haitian local government is the de-
termined campaign OF Mayor Man
cones, backed by the influence of Pres
ident Borno and the American-officer
ed gendarmerie, to prosecute local Off
cials charged with shortage of funds,
classification Of tax receipts, and graft.
