MISS WALSH SPEAKS
Woman Who Saw Lord Mayor of Cork Murdered Tells of Condi-
 tions Existing on Emerald Isle.

One of the best speakers heard in New Britain in some time was Miss Anna Walsh who spoke at Turner hall last evening under the auspices of the Commodore Barry Council, A. A. for R. I. R. Miss Walsh is a sister in-law of Lord Mayor MacCuran of Cork, Ireland, who was murdered in his home before his wife and chill dren as witnesses. First hand knowl- edge of conditions existing in Ireland brought Miss Walsh as one of the wit nesses to testify before the American Commission on Conditions in Ireland. This was in December, 1920, and Miss Walsh has stayed in this country lee turing since that time. Turner hall was well filled last nigh: by local friends interested in the plight of the Irish, and it was an attentive audience that listened to tho stateswoman tell of the misery and torture which some of her fellow countrymen suffered in expectation of final peace in Ireland.

]. M. BECK SPEAKS
 TO NOTED LAWYERS Spirit Of LaWleSSneSS" Is Theme
 Of Convention Address JAZZ A MUSICAL CRIME
Solicitor General of United States Tells of Events in America Using Law As Source of Information for Data

Cincinnati, Aug. 31.-Revolt against tradition and authority has sprung Up not only against the political state but in music, art, poetry and com m cree until the age has become "pre- eninently one of sham and counter felt" James M. Beck, solicitor gen. eral of the United States declared before the American Bar association today. MT. Beck spoke on the Spirit of Lawlessness'' before the opening general session of the annual con- Vention in the place of the late Wm. A. Blount, the association president
 Scores Jazz Music.
 The statistics of our crimina courts in recent years show an un- precedented growth in crime,' Mr. Beck said. But this revolt against authority is not confined to the po- litical state. In music, it's funda- mental canons have been thrown aside and discord has replaced har- mony. It's culn1ination-jazz-i a musical crime.
 Plastic Arts Disappear.
 Tn the plastic arts, the criteria of beauty have been swept aside by the fGturists, cubists, vorticists and other aesthetic of bolsheviki In poetry, beauty of rhythm and nobility of thought have been replaced by ex- altation of the grotesaue and brutal
 Tn commerce, the revolt is one against purity of standards and the integrity of business morals. Who can question that this is re-eminently the age of sham and counterfeit"
 A spirit of lawlessness has always existed, MT. Beck said, but cited the prevalence of burglaries, holdups, thefts, murder and graft to show recent growth of lawlessness. Today people regard the lessons of the past as "presumptively false," he de- clared, and the burden is now upon "him who seeks to invoke them.''
 China and Russia.
 Two of the oldest empires in the welter of anarchy the solicitor gen. eral said. And in even the most stable governments, the underground rum blings of revolution may be heard. But Of still greater significance to the welfare of civilization is the com plete subversion during the world war of nearly all the international laws which have been built up. This fierce war of extermination has put US back-temporari let us hope a thousand years. Victors and van quished are involved in a common ruin.
 Work for Works Sake.''
 ''The morale of our industrial civilizatio has been shattered. Work for works sake, as the most glorious privelege of human faculties, has gone. The aversion to work is the great evil of the world today. The less a man does, the less he wants to do. The whole history of the me- chanical era is a persistent struggle for more pay and shRrter hours and today it has culminated in world wide ruin. In my judgment the eco- homie catastrophe of 1921 is far greater than the politico military ca tastrophe of 1914"
