TWO BIC ISSUES YET TO BE MET BY IRISH FREE STATE
Treaty Clauses on Finance and Ulster Boundary Await Solution by Irish
 Statesmen

DUBLIN, Feb. 24.-Two important questions arising under the Anglo Irish treaty have yet to be dealt with: the clauses on finance and the Ulster boundary. Internal trou- bles have prevented these questions from coming up for definite settle ment, but the Free State government is planning to tackle them both in the near future.
 It will be remembered that the Irish delegates to London undertook that Ireland pay it's share of the war debt and of war pensions, and the sum payable was to be fixed after inquiry as to how much Ire land ought to pay, allowance being made in Ireland's favor for over taxation in the past. The payment of from 40,000,0 900 to 50,oO0, 900 pounds sterling in compensation. to the vic- tims of outrages will involve the Irish budget in a deficit, and the amount payable to England under the treaty will add to the difficulty. It is accepted as certain that the Irish Free State must float loan and start with a national debt. Until now taxation as fixed in the British puNo0tB iidS piCNdtl6u III lne Irish government taking over the money raised. But this year will see the first Irish budget, and the taxation will all be imposed and collected by the Free State.
 On the subject of finance the gov ernment Is optimistic. It is attempt ing immediately the final settlement of the land question, which may in- vclve as much as 7o,0O0,00O pounds sterling. The British land purchase acts transferred from the landlords to tenant proprletors the greater part of the land in Ireland, but the job was left unfinished, and all over Ireland, side by side with farmers who own their farms and are pay ing for them in annual installments less titan the rent, are some thou sards of farmers still paying the old rents. The government now pro- poses to make land purchases com plete and compulsory. Every landlord

 Appoint Commission.
 As regards the Ulster boundary. preparations are being made for the appointment of the commission to fix the boundaries of the future northern parliament. The treaty prescribes that the boundaries be readjusted in accordance with the wishes of the inhabitants, but does hot determine how these wishes are to be ascer- tained. The decision will depend on the area taken for inquiry. If the voting were by counties, both Tyrone and Fermanagh would undoubtedly vote themselves into the Free State. With similar areas as voting units, parts would stay with Belfast and parts with Dublin.
 The treaty brought some difference of opinion between the British and Irish delegates as to what it meant, the latter contending that it meant the transference of large areas, and the former urging that all they meant was the reetification. of the frontier line. The boundaries com mission was to consist of one rep resentatiye of the Free State. one of the northern government and one of the British government. But Sir James Craig. the Ulster premier, and his colleagues have from the first declined to be bound by any pro- vision of the treaty in this regard, as they were not parties to it.
 The Free State government has a staff working on the whole boundary question, which issues statements periodically pointing out the anom- allies of the present situation, which glves the northern government power over many districts which deny it allegiance.
 Whichever view is taken of the meaning of the treaty two important towns-Derry and Newry-must be affected. They are both right on the edge of the border, and both
 have nationalist majorities; yet it is unlikely that the northern govern ment would without strong conn rulsion, part with either.

AMAZING GROWTH .PHONE INDUSTRY |S SHOWN BY REPORT
People of United States Aver age Using Bell Invention 176 Times During
 Each Year

CHICAGO Feb. 24.-By Associated Press.)-If every man, woman ana child in the United States did his last year. each would be entitled to 176 completed calls according to fig ures compiled by the Illinois commit tee on public utility information.
 The committee reports 20,000,000,- 600 telephone conversations in 1922 over. the 14,3o0,000 telephones then In use. To handle the business, 305.- 900 persons were employed by the 53, 100 telephone companies and, the committee impressively adds. the 29. 701 ,090 miles of wire used would encirele the globe 1,1S3 times at the equator. In other words. there is enough of the wire to run 62 double wire telephone circuits from the earth to the moon, at it's mean dis tance from the earth, and still have 90.G00 miles or so left over for other purposes.
 Since Dr. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, the industry has grown with such amaz- ing speed that the United States with only d sixteenth of the worlds popu- lation, now possesses two-thirds of all tine telephones in use.
 
 Fifteen Million Poles Used.
 The i5,0O0,000 telephone poles in use, says the statistician, would build railroad trestle 30 feet sh from Chicago to Buenos Aires. while the additions and rep1acements each year would carry telephone line two- thirds the way around the earth.
 In 1900, he reports, there was one telephone for every 90 persons; in 1905 one for each S4; in 1910, one to each 16; in 1915, one to each Il, and in 1921, one to each eight.
 Next 10 Americans, the people of Denmark are the most telephoni- cally ;alkative on earth. In 1920 when Americans averaged 160 con- versatioas per annum for each man. woman end child, the Danes were second with 11s. Norway and Swe- den were third. and fourth both av- eragng above 100 conversations per inhabitant. The best the Germans, In fifth place, could do. was 52. The Netherlands and Australia were be- tween 40 and 50; switzerland aver aged 80; Great Britain, 20: France, 12: Belgium 10, and Italy 8.

OLD ORDER PASSES IN AUSTRIAN CITY,. FORE E|GNERS FIND
Janitors No Longer on Friend ly Terms With Patrons and Will Get No
 Tips

VIENNA, Feb. 24.-The recalling of things as they used to be does not come amiss In Vienna, for in the old days there were many things SC pleasant in this city that their rec election and discussion today serves often to Tighten the gloom of a dull winter.
 Take, for instance, the Vienna hausmeister, the janitor of American cities, but a dignified, glorified, use- full and even courteous janitor. It was his custom to open the doors of apartment houses after 10 o'clock at night for the belated, and to exact a fee of twenty heller, four cents, for the service.
 No one minded it; foreigners found 1t medieval and amusing. For two centuries or more the fee had been 20 heller, and its collection through year was sometimes enough to
 send the janitor's children to school. Now the hausmeisters and the ten ants are in bitter feud. The courts have permitted an increase in this fee in q ruling, the loose wording of which has been seized upon by the hausmeisters, on the inside of the
 doors, are refusing to let them in to their Gown apartments if the tenant reaches the threshold of his house one minute after 10 o'clock. Some
 tenants are so determined to put an
 end to the outrage" that, when re- fused admission, they are turning to
 the nearest police station and de- manding shelter for the night. Thus
 it was recently reported in the news papers that in one district of the
 city alone no fewer than IT persons spent the night in the lock-up in preference to meeting the exaetlons of the grasping hausmefster.
 Another incident of today recalls the time when Hofrat. or court coun- selor, was a title that carried with
 it in Vienna something worth while
 Many a woman was happy, in the old
 days when she could order calling
 cars bearing the inscription Frau

 government that professors would

JURY FAILS To FIND
EVIDENCE IN DEATH
OF YOUNG STUDENT

CHICAGO, May 19.-While the
states attorneys office continued
today to investigate the disappear
ance of Leighton Mount, Northwest
ern university student, a coroner's
Jury decided that the death of an
other student was due to an una
voidable accident.
The coroner's jury investigating
the death of Louis Auhere, North
western freshman, who was killed
April q, when an automobile loaded
with students struck another ma
chine, decided the accident was un-
avoidable.
Meanwhile little progress was
made in the investigation of the dis
appearance of Mount, also fresh
man. 4 skeleton believed by the
authorities to be his was found
week after Aubere was killed, under
a pier at Evanston.
Roscoe Conkling Fitch. student.
questioned at length regarding the
Mount case, and who made conflict
ing statements concerning his
knowledge of it, has testified that
the accident in which Aubere was
killed and another student seriously
injured, was perpetrated intention
ally by students.
Little information was developed
in the Mount investigation. j..
Allen Mills, of Akron, Ohio, a former
student who has been before the
grand jury investigating Mounts
disappearance, in a telegram to Rob
ert E. Grove, states attorney, today
asserted that he believed Charles
Chuck Palmer, state athlete, knew
nothing about the case. Palmer was
taken into custody and later freed
after a former woman friend had
reported that he told her a short
time after Moun> disappeared that
he knew where the missing student
was.
Mills expressed belief II his
message that young Fitch or j. L.
Mount, father Of the missing boy,
might have some facts concerning
the case which they have not un.
rayeled.
