LETTER HINTING "SENILE DECAY" Wisconsin U Professor Writes His Questions On Finances Indicates It Also Very courteous Prof. Scott Not Impressed, and No Time to Write Text Book. MADISON. Wis.. Mar. 22. A let ter which Thomas A. Edison says contain an implication of senile de cay against hAnj, was wade public hrr today- Mr. Edison sent it to the Vnlver- sity of Wisconsin regents and- U President E. A. Birge of the univer - sity with the suggestion that the au hor. Professor W. A. Scott, director of the university's course of com merce, was "very discourteous." Mr. Edison explained that recently he had sent a questionnaire to seven teen persons with the purpose of gaining their views on changes he proposes in the American currency system. "Many of the gentlemen to whom the questionnaire was Kent," Mr. Edi son wrote, "have courteously taken, great pains to prepare and sent answers to my questions. Not so, however, with Mr. Scott who has written me a very discour teous letter, not only declining to answ-cr my questions but Implying senile decay because of my asking them." In answer to the questions of Mr. Edison. Professor Scott wrote that after reading them over I am con vinced that nothing short of a trea tise on the subject of money and banking would be adequate and I haven't the time to writo that much." 'It is my belief," however, the pro fessor wrote, "that any good treatise, even any good elementary textbook on tho subject would answer most of your fundamental questions." "I confess that I find it difficult to understand how a man like yourself. If hn hna nprlnuslv RtiiftiAtl nnv nf thfll iitrnt.,rB r tn i,ie. rn - riously ask such questions. They be tray to me an utter lack of compre hension of even the A, B. C of the subject and I should consider that only a clear setting forth of the very elements of the subject would be ade quate to set your mind straight. I doubt very much whether at your age and in what seems to be your present state of mind, it would be worth anyone's while to attempt to teach you these elements." Professor Scott today declared quo tations from his letter were not the things he had written. All regeuts and members of the university board of visitors have re ceived letters from Mr. Edison, in which tho inventor points out that he feels a great discourtesy has beeu shown him by Professor Scott.

LONDON, Mar. 22. (Uy Associated Press.)

LONDON, Mar. 22. (By Associated Press.) The situation on the border between Vlster and southern Ireland is going from bad to worse and is such that some trifling incident may draw the rival forces Into a conflict which w ill shatter all prospects of peace in Ireland, says the Dublin correspon dent of the Times.

It was officially announced in the republican organ here today that the Irish republican army conven tion, the holding of which was recent ly forbidden by Arthur Griffith, presi dent ot the Dail Eireann would be held in Dublin Sunday as arranged.
