JAZZ MUSIC BLAMED FOR CRIME
WAVE AMONG YOUNG GENERATION
Violin Maker Cites Low
Type Harmony as Cause
of Turmoil.
BY EIdora Field

''Low standards in their minds,
put there by low-class jazz music. +"
This caused the crime wave among
the younger generation according
to Joseph Conrath, musician and
violin maker, 80 Virginia Ave,
Conrath is past sixty and has had
a violin repair shop in the city
since 1889.
poor music, low vicious stuff,
such as the young folks hear ev-
erywhere, makes for low thinking.
The music excites them<-it arouses
the very opposite of what music
should"
- Full of Turmoil
$50 full of this jazzy, excited
mental turmoil, they find the &C.
ions that fit with such thoughts.
That's the explanation of so much
crime of this young generation"
he said.
This could be changed, the
crime wave could be turned back
by good music" he observed.
Bringing good music to them,
filling the children with it, would
be like giving them good clean
medicine. 1t would thwart the
crime wave"
Good music and good literature
are what the young folks need now
N ,eaA
at what they do, when we consider
what wretched stuff they are fed
through their ears and their eyes,
everywhere they go?
Happy With Violins
Conrath is very happy among
his dozens of old violins. This is
my playhouse" he smiled. It's
a joy to work here. God gav6 me
this talent, the ear to catch sounds
and to make them right. 1 dearly
love to work with these voices
these old fiddles as they may seem
to others. To me, they are in
dividual voices, souls. Each violin
has voice of it's own, treat
them as if they had and they re-
spond. Why that's the reason I'm
not RICH" he declared.
Il when violin comes in. think
only of restoring it,, of bringing
out it's fine, singing voice. 1t
makes no difference to me how
time flies when I'm working, sing
ing, trying with each instrument.
The voice, the soul, that is there
to come out, or to be righted--I
forget how much money it's going
to bring me-"
Once Singer
Many years ago Conrath was a
singer and a concert violinist.
Il was born in Cincinnati. There
was. much music there-every-
where, and l was reared within the
sound of good music. When 1 got
sick 1 came here and started this
violin shop, thirty-eight years ago."
To get Conrad highly excited one
needs only to mention the word
Stradivarius.
Fake, fal-, that word stands
for fake" he cried excitedly. IF
anybody has a violin and it's been
blistered with heat. or in some way
made to look very old, that fool
ish person is sure to think he has
Strad and it's worth a fortune"
Thousands of persons have
brought their old, cheap fiddles to
me with such hopes. It's pitiful
and it's maddening. I've whole
box full of letters from folks who
think they have Strads-some of
the instruments, according to
them, are older than Stradivarius
himself. With all my experience
I've never seen a real Strad. That
Strad business is one of the biggest
fakes in the world" he said shak-
ing his head angrily.

CAMERON GIVES
UP CLAIMS ON
COLORADO RIVER

PHOENIX, March "a (P-Stipula-
tions signed by aottrneys for Ralph
H. Cameron, Jr., son cf former Unit,
ed States junior senator from ART
zona and John H. Sargent attorney
general, were filed here today in the
United States district court as the
first step in final abandonment of
the Cameron Stetson Mining ana
Placer claims, bordering the Colo
RADIO river from the Boulder canyon
dam site to the Black candon dam
site q distance of approximately 20
miles. District Judge Jacobs on re-
ceipt OF the stipulations ordered that
q final decree be prepared relinquish-
ing on the part of Cameron and mis-
associates all right cIaim or interest
whatever, IN the lands described ana
enjoinng the defendants in per-.
l.etuity from asserting any future
claim. In return, they are declared
free OF any court costs, taxable in
connection with the bringing Of the
suit by the government. Judge
Jacobs will sign the decree today.
According to the bill of camplaint
Cameron and 13 associates filed 55
contiguous claims $50 situated as 10

Colorado river for approximately %
miles between the two dam sites"
"All of the lands, because of the
water and power resources and flood
control possibilities, reads the bill, ARE
of great value for dam, reservoir and
power sites"
The complaint continues, 1T was the
intention of Cameron and his asso-
ciates to obtain possession of the said
pretended groups Of claims under the
guise and pretext that they were bona
fide mineral locations for the purpose
of utilizing the water and power re-
sources of the Colorado river"
The associated claimants, named as
defendants in the bill, in their reply
averred that the said claims are
actual bona fide locations, made in
good faith after the discovery of gold
bearing sand and rock and denied any
purpose to use the power potentialities
of the river except for the economic
development and extraction of valuabl
minerals from adjacent lands"

in demanding time "to study an en-
tirely new case'' 1--WE should prefer
to continue the trial of the case
Everything is so choatic, however,
we cannot tell where we stand"
Judge Raymond said he was ''not
disposed to grant any continuances,
as he was most anxious to make
progress
81 must say that visible signs of
progress are not numerous up to
this time," he added
The judge pointed out that the
amendments were made up on his own
suggestion to Sapiros counsel, twice
imposed, once in open court and pre-
viously in chambers.
He cited United States supreme
court precedents and stated that the
federal courts were much more lib
eral in permitting amendments than
were the state courts.
The defense attorneys contended,
however, that the amendment chang
ed the entire cause of action and put
upon it the burden of re-reading and
re-examining the declaration. It
might be necessary, insisted Hanley,
to hold new inquiries concerning new
evidence needed and to determine
whether, even the new evidence were
available, the defense would wish to
introduce it.
He pointed out that in compiling
evidence for the present trial the
entire country was the source.
Under a ruling today by Judge
Raymond the names of Bernard Ba-
ruch, Lewis Marshall, Otto Kahn,
Charles Warburg and the Goldman
Sachs company entered the trial for
the first time via testimony.
With William j. Cameron, editor
of the Dearborn Independent, upon
the witness stand for the fifth day.
Sapiro's counsel asked whether he re-
called any article as to Individual
Jews"
Cameron replied negatively, and
William Henry Gallagher, attorney
for Sapiro, produced reprints in bound
volumes of articles which appeared in
the Independent between 1920 and
1922. They bore the title, THE In
ternational Jew"
Camerons memory was refreshed
by being shown the reprints and he
then testified that he remembered
the articles.
He denied that he ever had dis
cussed any individual Jew with the
motor manufacturer, but amended it
to explain that upon one occasion he
had discussed an article in the In
dependent regarding Baruchs testi-
mony at the congressional investiga-
tion of the war industries board.
The defense objected, however, and
the answer was stricken from the
records as not in response to the
question asked.
Gallagher declined to seek the in
PRODUCTION of the bound volumes as
evidence. Defense counsel sought to
force him to take that step. Judge
Raymond demanded to know what the
plaintiffs counsel sought to prove by
referring to the books rather than
Introducing them as evidence.

acquiescence in the policy of this

very difficult witness for Gallagher
with his own cleverness in giving
unwished answers and the ability of
Hanley in interposing successful OBJ
jections Hanley objected to virtu-
ally every question asked, as he had
for four days.
Gallagher sought repeatedly and
unsuccessfully to bring out Ford's
alleged part in the publication of the
anti-Jewish and anti-Sapiro articles.

to narrow the introduction of evil
dence to Sapiro. He previously had
held that the Jewish race had no

INDICATES The COST
OF MISSOURI BRIDGE

A Southsider who, in common
with several thousand people in
this portion of the state, is great
Iy interested in Wolf Points cam
paign for a bridge across the
Missouri has handed The Herald
an interesting picture and des-
cription clipped from the Dakota
Farmer.
The picture shows highway
traffic bridge recently completed
at Pierre, S. d. 1t is of unusual
length and height with seven
piers and six spans. The des-
criptive matter under the picture
says:
"This bl idge, which was built
under the direction of the state
highway commission, is 2,072 feet
long and has 22-foot concrete
roadway. The capacity is two
lines of 15-ton trucks. The bridge
is 80 feet above low water. The
average depth of foundations is
Sc feet below low water. The
cost was S435,O00."
This bridge is so much longer
and larger than would be neces
sary to span the Missouri at Wolf
Point as to indicate to the lay
mind that a bridge here could be
built for not to exceed 100000
