FRENCH BANKER
DIES TRYING TO

Stop Scandal, Paris
Papers Claim.
BIZ United Press


CHAMONIX, France. Jan. O.
Alexander Sacha Stavisky, abscond-
ing banker, died today. presumably
suicide, in the little Chamonix
hospital. high in the Alps. where he
had been hiding
Stavisky took with him in death
the story Of his rise and fall-the
rise as a boon companion Of high
government officials, the fall when
bonds issued by his Credit Munic-
ipal Bayonne, combined bank and
Official paWnshop, were declared
worthless.
He died without regaining con-
seriousness. Twelve hours before a
bullet shattered his skull at the
right temple just after crack OPP
eratives Of the Surete General, the
French Scotland Yard, burst in the
door Of the little mountain villa
where he had been hiding in hope
OF escaping through the snow-flled
passes to Switzerland.
PARIS. Jan. 9-Charges that Al
exander Sacha Stavisky was killed
by police to end a financial scandal
threatening to blast the careers of
many public men, were made today
by newspapers.
Socialist and right wing organs
charged that the absconding finan-
cier, who fed as his Credit Munic-
ipal Bayonne bank collapsed in
$30,000000 ruin, was informally put
to death so that he could not con-
fess.
The charges followed Immediately
upon the resignation of Minister of
Colonies Albert Dalimier, mentioned
as having advised insurance COM
panies to buy Staviskys worthless
bonds.

Rigid Rules Of Etiquette

twenty-five pointed suggestions In

earthcd In Washington. Another val
liable hint states that III possible the
knife should never be put into the

that was as difficult in 1927 as 1t
would be today. At the conclusion
OF the chapter. however. the author
sounds note OF comfort In stating
that "If all rules are forgotten, the
guests viii not 60 far astray who re-
talus a regard for others, and the
hostess may be confident OF the sue
cess Of her dinner. provided she has
