THEATER OWNERS
 PAYING STATE TAX
Indignant at Movie Mosuls Tor
 Passing the Buck" j

Hartford, Sept. 1 R-Widespread dissatisfaction and resentment over the asserted high handed methods by which the Hays organization of mo- ton picture producers and distrib- utors slipped out of range of the state film tax law and placed the entire burden of the payments upon exhibitors within the state, is being expressed by Connecticut theater owners, Joseph W. Walsh, president of the Connecticut Theater-owners' association, said this morning. In- dividual theater owners beginning this week. he said. are forced to bear all the expense under the law. that the enactors had intended to place upon the large producing and distributing corporations.
 It was disclosed this morning by Mir. Walsh that at conferences be- tween the officers and counsel of the motion picture producers and dis tributors of America and the cori- mittee of Connecticut theater men, which were concluded last Friday. the intention of the Hays organiza- ton to withdraw it's film exchanges from the state was announced and the Connecticut theater men were given the choice of assuming the new tax burden or closing their theaters. As Mir. Walsh explained 1t, by mov- ing their exchanges from Connecti- cut the distributors can ship films to exhibitors within the state tin- taxed, unsealed and unregistered. without exposing themselves to prosecution under the law. But since the film tax act also imposes penalties for the exhibition of un- sealed motion pictures, the indi- viduaI theater owners have either to pay the taxes, or to expose them selves 10 revocation ot their licenses and consequent closing of their the aters.
 Exhibitors Are Helpless
 ''It was good business on their part" MT. Walsh said. ''but SO far as theater men are concerned it's pretty poor business or course, we were l absolutely helpless and we still are. The distributors can fulfill their con- tracts with us by shipping the films into the state by post or express without the state tax seals. When we get them we are faced with the alternate of paying the tax or ex- hibiting the pictures in violation of the law"
 The distributors have agreed to pay the taxes on all films in the state at the time the law went into effect, July s, until the beginning of this week. While this payment will amount to considerable sum, MT. Walsh said the distributors had permitted themselves to become lia- bIe for it. because they had strong expectations that the decision of the Fox Film corporation case on the Constitutionality of the law would be in their favor.

DISAGREEMENT ON
 IRISH BOUNDARY
Three Members Of Commission
 Draw Separate Reports

London, Sept. l IR - A special correspondent at Dublin of the Lon- don Star telegraphs today that sepa- rate reports by the three members of the Irish boundary commission probably will be presented to Pre- mier Baldwin within the next two weeks
 The correspondent says that Jus l tice Richard Feetham, of the South African supreme court, chairman of 1 the commission, has been unable to prevail upon his associates to come 10 any agreement on the actual sta | tus of the boundary lines between Ulster and the Irish Free State. The stars correspondent says that in spite of this inability 10 agree on a boundary it is still possible that tho commission may publish unan- imous finding. urging the desirabil- r ity of another meeting of represen- tatives of Ulster and the Irish Free State in an effort to reach an accord by the consent of both.
 The nearest approach to an agree ment In the views of the commis. sion's members Is between those ot Justice Feetham and Professor John McNeill, the Free State representa- tive, the correspondent writes. Both believe that the ideal solution would he for both northern and southern Ireland to unite on any basis accept able to the majority in both.
 This view, however, is opposed by Joseph R. Fisher, who says that it Is entirely impracticable.
 Justice Feetham therefore, in the report which he has prepared for presentation to the premier. accord ing 10 the Stars correspondent, pro- poses sweeping changes in the pres- 'ent boundary between the two Irish states. His boundary would leave Derry, Enniskillen and Armagh City. in Ulster, but would allocate Newry, the southern half of County Armagh and four -fifths of Fermanagh, not including Eniskillen, to the Irish Frco State. He would also appor- ton to the Free State part of Coun. ty Londonderry without London derry City and part of County Down, while in return he would turn over To Ulster the northeast part of County Donegal.
 The report prepared by Prof. Nc Neill, according to the Stars cor respondent, would reduce Ulster to the whole of County Antrim, the northern part of County Down, a strip of County Armagh and a small corner of County Londonderry. The Free State commissioner would award Londonderry City. Enniskillen and Armagh City, "The three sacred places" to the Irish Free State.

 VIII Return Nothing
 The city council will be informed at it's meeting tonight by the build ing code of the chamber of com merce that the committee cannot accede to the request of the council that certain building code copies bs returned to the council, The mem bers say that they received nothing from the council and consequently have nothing to return. The old building code and supplementary matters, which were laid before this special building code committee. were copied at the expense or tns chamber of commerce and therefore the city Is owed nothing. The com mittee has spent two years of ex. haustive effort on the work and cer- tain members feel incensed at the attitude of the council in demanding back "the report of the building code given two years ago." This re- quest was made at the council meet l Ing two weeks ago.
 It Is generally conceded that some fine work has been done on the re- vision of a building code by this spe- cial committee and many believe that the committee should be al- lowed to make a complete report, inasmuch as about three-quarters q the work has been finished.
