DISORDER
AND VIOLENCE
IN |RELAND
Free State Announces Rail-
roads Running Under Nor
NAL Conditions.
BY DANIEL O'CONNELL.
International News Service.


DUBLIN, May 2.-Although the
free state government did not ac-
cept Eamonn de Valera's armisticc
and peace proposals, there were in
dications today that normalcy is re-
turning to Ireland.
The free state government an
nounced that all railroads were be
ing operated under normal condi-
lions, with two minor exceptions.
For months the republican irregu-
lars attempted to hamper the Dublin
government by tearing up railways,
wrecking trains and dynamiting
bridges. A number of republican ir-
regular prisoners were executed for
imperiling the lives of passengers
upon trains.
The Freeman's Journal pointed
out today that the price of Irish Sc
curities is moving upward. Insur-
ance against business loss through
violence is improving as DISORDERS
die out.
President William 4. Cosgrave
is to make a speech in the Dali
Eireann tonight and it is believed
that he will reply to the peace pro
pOsals of de Valera.
Mary MacSwiney, who has been
on a hunger strike for month, has
been released from Jail.

COUNTY FUNDS STOLEN
AS COURT HOUSE BURNS

OMAHA, May Fire wrecked
the Court House at North Platte,
Following which it was discovered
the safe in the county treasurer's
office had been looted of 100000, of
which $4,000 was in cash and the
remainder in securities, according to
telephone advices received by the
Omaha World here today.
It was said the securities were
not negotiable. Records in office of
the clerk of the District Court were
ruined and some in the county
treasurer's office on the first floor
was badly water-soaked. The fire is
believed to have been of incendiary
origin. An audit of county records
was to have been started this morn
ing.

Salary Is Trebled But
He Resigns Job
With u. S.

Strange things often happen.
Not long ago a man resigned
from his position when he was
informed that his salary was
to be more than trebled.
The man is Fred V. Melon
aid. and his official title was
Postmaster, Smackover, ARK.
At the time he resigned his
salary was 5000 per year, but
he had been advised that his
salary would soon be increased
to $4,000 per year. His Office,
during a period of three months,
had increased receipts more
than 1000 per cent. Hence
the increase in salary.
But here's the catch. Nc
Donald, since becoming post
master, had also become rich
man. Last fall oil was discov-
cred near the Arkansas village.
Mcdonald had some farm lands
which were considered val
liable. He leased them to oil
producers. Now, he's living on
his income and doesn't want to
fool with little postoffice job.
So he resigned.
Now Smackover needs a
postmaster who wants to make
$4,000 a year and will ap-
preciate it.

OKLAHOMA ASKS IDAHO FOR
POINTERS IN GOVERNMENT

The Oklahoma legislature is at
tempting to remodel it's state govern
ment, and Tuesday appealed to Gov
ernor C. G. Moore for some pointers
on how Idaho's government is oper-
ated. The letter came from James R.
Talbert, chairman of a committee OF
the legislature to investigate state
officials, says the Statesman.
The first thing he asked was wteth-
er or not Idaho had a governors man
sion, and what the appropriation for
it's maintenance was. The Oklahoma
legislator said his state has fine
capitol, but not mansion.
He next wanted to know II Idaho
authorized revolving funds for state
institutions, and his letter ended
with questions on how the state oper-
ated it's finances. He said Oklahoma
had a board of affairs appointed by
the governor, which controls the dis
bursement of about $S,000,0O0 annu-
ally. He said the operations Of this
board have not been quite satisfact-
ory but so far the legislature had not
been able to find anything better.
The governor thinks this board
compares in function with 1dahots
state board of examiners, which pass
es on all claims filed against the
state. The Idaho board, however,
differs from the Oklahoma body in
that all of it's members are elective
officers and not appointed by the
governor. Idaho's board of examin-
ers consists of the governor, the sec
retary of state and the attorney gen
eral

LARGE CROWD GREETS
S0USA'S FAMOUS BAND

John Philip Sousa and his band ap-
peared in concert at the university
auditorium Thursday afternoon before
an audience which filled the large
room to capacity. The program was
everything that might be expected
from the world-famed leader and the
organization which he had created,
and the more than two hours, when
number followed number almost with
out break seemed as few minutes.
The Instrumentation of the band is
as follows:
Two piccolos, five flutes, two oboes,
one English horn, Ia solo clarinets,
six second clarinets, six third clari-
nets, two bass clarinets, one alto
clarinet, two bassoons, one contra
bassoon, two sarrusaphones, eight
saxaphones, six cornets, four trump
cts, five French horns, five trombones,
four bar1tones, six tubas, four drums,
one harp and one xylophone.
The audience was especially de-
lighted with the vocal soloist, Miss
Nora Fauchald, who responded to
encore after encore.
The concert was the first number
in the university artist course for this
season. The second number will be
the Ukrainian Chorus on January 10.

MOSCOW TELEPHONE
BUSINESS GROWS
MORE NAMES IN NEW DIRECTORY
CITY, T. OF l. AND RURAL -
TOTAL 171S

The new telephone directory issued
by the Moscow Telephone & Tele-
graph company, shown an increase of
Al telephones connected with the To-
cal exchange since last June, when
the previous directory was issued
Inasmuch as the past year has not,
as a rule, witnessed much in the way
of extension in business throughout
the wheat district, the increase,
though not large, is considered very
satisfactory. The greatest compare
tive increase, according to u. Lang
don, manager Of the company, has
been in the number of business tele-
phones, there being 23 more in use in
Moscow now than six months ago.
The local company now has l718
telephones in it's system OF this
number 418 is business telephones,
785 residence telephones, in the city,
and 515 telephones on the rural lines.
There are 219 single party bust
ness telephones, sc two party tele-
phones, 83 business extension tele-
phones and five private branch sys-
TENS, at the University of Idaho and
in local business houses, carrying so
telephones. In the residence dis
tr1ct there are ~ One-pafty tele-
phones, 693 two-party telephones and
20 extensions There are cOmpara-
lively few farmers in the territory
within several miles of the city who
do not have telephones in their
homes.
The Moscow company recently took
over the Pullman exchange. which
compares in size with the Moscow ex-
change, and both exchanges will be
operated under the management of
Mr.. Langdon. A large amount of
money has been expended on the
Moscow plant in the past few years,
in undermining and extensions, and
it is the purpose of the company to
make extensive improvements at
Pullman in the interest of better SER
vice for the patrons.

SURPLUS POPULATION
SERIOUS In GERMANY

Bor1in-(A. P.)-what is to become
of Germany's surplus population OF
20. 900 900? The question is looming
I'D as serious one in view of the fact
that the birth rate is rapidly approx
mating the pre-war figures and the
annual emigration is relatively small.
Russia is held UP to the German
public as a land that may eventually
absorb 15.OO0OOO Germans, but there
is slight movement toward that coun-
try because of present conditions un-
der Soviet rule South American
countries also are mentioned by the
German press as suitable for future
homes for Germans, but the Unlted
States is the only country to which
the Germans appear to be anxious TO
emigrate. The indications are that
the applicants for admission to the
United States will greatly exceed the
quota Of 10000 this year. The over
population is mostly in the Industrial
centers.
There is an endless chain of young
mechanics who manage to get enough
funds together to make their way to
the United States and send money
hack to their brothers and friends
who ioin them on the other side.
These are mostly men without fam
lilies
Germany is losing many of the
men who might be most helnful in
brineing her industries back into or
dared state The Younger men tire OF
the hopeless snarl of domestic poll
tics. the clash of party interests and
the endless wranglings of labor and
political organizations. But it is the
rare workman who manages to col
lect enough funds to emierate.
