(Hy The Associated Pruss) HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 27. Cuba noodert no holiday iiiossukv from prra idint Airrodo ZuyaH to prompt It to point with pride to tho nation's ao oompliHhmonts in J '.(22. and view with rosey hope ita planH for 1!I23. It is ex plained at the presidential palace In accounting for the chief executive's failure- to Issue the customary docu ment. The facts speak for themselves. it Is declared In official quurlers. and' the facts, as act forth under the head of 11(22 accomplishments, follow: . 1 Kudgct reduction in round numbers from $i:i2.ii(((i.oou.oo to isjjKto.uOfi.nn accompanied by administrative re forms. Orderly partial elections on Nov. 1.. although the official returns have not yet been made public. j .Reformation of the National Lot-! tcry involving the disappearance of f Mi.noo.noo u yonr in illegal collections. J'rosress in the following directions: HcNtnnition of normal financial condi tions through the authorization of a jr,n.iHMt,MMi foreign loan; classification or nearly f 7Miuii,ufHi in unpaid cur rent Imlchte.ilncsg; . liquidation . of th. is parent and 300 branch banks which closed as a result of the 1J20 crack; tariff revision bankihtr legis lation; electoral ami judicial code re forms: revision of the reciprocity trea ty with the rmted States; Taxation re forms. Hopes for a Happy New Year arc based, more or loss, on what Is expect ed to result from the accomplishments of 1U22 and from the successful, eon BUination of tusks well Iickiiii, hut still incomplete. :',, r The economies already Implanted, the new taxation as yet unproductive, and the settling of old obligations with the receipt . of the proceeds of the $50,01111,0011 loan after Jan. 12. are con fidently expected to restore prosperity. Prospects for a 4,0uo,ono-lon sutfar crop at a prion not Tar from 4 cents a pound nre not listed as exactly "bear ish." Supplementary to the hoped-for re-, suits from j 22 accomplishments, , achievements are believed to be potential fruits of a preferttfitlal leg islative program unofficially approved i recently tit a meeting of a majority; of I tin mrmtc. 'This IncludeWthe MimiW- tlon or f'hinese. Jamaican nnd Haitian ' 'immlghlllon; lvfonn of the federal ao - countlng system: a new hanking code. Involving the creation of a bank of 'rftilsslon anil a' fVdornl reserve 'system: reform of the electoral code and the organic judiciary law; constitutional reforms, to make possible the creation of a fediTiil district, including Ha vana, and electoral and judicial re forms. The need- of banking legislation loonwJlafgest in official arid: business circles. The Vreckagc of tu, old. sys tem in rapidly, beinKi aiyaged, and whvn.ij, is accomplished not much de lay., is, , anticipated in complying with the president's requests for a centra?! bank of emission to act as tire gover ment's fiscal agent, and an adequate reserve system. The bank that congress Is confiden tially expected to create will be a fu sion of various Cuban projects, notalv ly the Torrlentc plan, with suggestions made by V. I. G. Harding, former governor of the American federal re- serve system, after a six-weeks mis-1 slon to Cuba. The defunct Banco Na- clonal will be revived hy the infection of f4.ouo.iioo In real cash and $!., non.tioo in securities which the gov ernment took from the institution to' Hfcure its dipOMitx. Half of the 4.-1 oho. too w in ho subscribed in Cuba, 1 hall In the I'nited States. The 000,000 will havti no voting power. but each of the- $2,oi)oto0 hIH elect directors who. In turn, will choose the governor of the new bank nnd the re serve system. In case of a deadlock; the American federal reserve will pro pose two can dt dates, from whom the Cuban governor must be selected. In Its review nnd forecast official dom is discretely, but not unintention ally, quiet un the part that Mujor General K. H. Crowder, special Am erican emissary to Cuba, has played nnd will play in the course of events. Nor is any great emphasis placed on the results, thus far negligible, of the judicial investigations, indictments and churges made in connection with al leged frauds in the former, manage ment of the affairs of the national lottery, and of the internal revenue, public works, communications, . and treasury departments. Politically the burning question is whether or not President Alfredo Zuy- us and former president General Mario (. Menocal will seek re-elcctlon in l!)24, and what are the chances of other potential candidates, such as Carlos Manuel de Cespedes. secretary of slate and rormer minister to Wash ington, and General Carlos Mendietn j and Gerurdo Machudo, Liberals. i iRiiiwiypiurc ! liniLvyni I Uiiiu nuripim nflip n n ui i . mi i mi n ' UIIIIUMBIB LKII CSS) DUELIST SQUEALS ; BOTH PARTIES TO AFFAIR ARE FINED ( Hy Assocluted Press) HKD I.OOGK, Mont., Jan. 27.

Chief McAllister repaired to th? rendezvous for tbo encounter and "covered" Popovich when th hitter appeared. " Popovich was so infuri ated at this denouement that lie re fused to give up his weapon, and Mc Allister wns compelled, at the risk of hls'own life, to bent the man over the head before he could disarm him. Tho foregoing is (he kIhI of n story told Justice of thn Pcuco Newman, when tho two principals were arraign ed on charges, of carrying concealed weapons, disturbing the peace and threatening to kill. Hojonovich's alleged fraineup de veloped quitch a "kick-back" when Justice Newman fined him $50 and sentenced him to serve 10 days in tho county Jail. Apparently believ ing, that Popovich was more sinned against than: sinning, the court im posed a' fin' of $50 ii nd let him go. ( Ity Associated ST.
