MISS MAGSWINEY TALKS OF IRELAND Sister of Martyr Mayor of Cork Discusses Aims of Republic Advocates. Miss Mary cSwiney, sister of Terrence Macs y, martyved lord mayor of Cork, spoke at two gather- ings here yesterday. She addressed the National Woman's Party and also athering u{ Irish-Americans at the N street. Sean T. Irish Republic also addressed r gathering which was under spices of the Kelvin Barry of the American Assoclation for the Recognition of the Irish Re- publie. No Sex Problems in Ireland. Miss MacSwiney told the Woman's Party meeting that there were no sex problems in Ireland, but that the men and women stood together in the national fight. Women of Ire- land always ad rights such as the women her: i1l fighting for; they always had th right to held property At the meeting she forced the war on Ireland, and pointed out that in- nde could not be subject to lot box. FPersons have certain rights which they cannot vote away, tance, they cannot vote themselves into slavery. g- land she charged is making it cheap for those who want to get away from Irel; thereby coaxing the Re- publican vote away. A vote obtained under duress, she sald, is invalid. Says Republie Still Lives. Mr. O’Kelly said that the Irish Re- public still lives. He said the people of Irel have never formally or expressly—by vote or otherwise—de- clared a wish to disestablish the re- public. DRAINAGE CASE DECIDED.

It purposes establishing a national grand opera in this country, and ending the for- cign leadership in grand opera here. Training of Talent. Elaborate plans, sponsored by per- sons of influence, for the training and development of native talent for ap- pearance in American opera, Were also outlined by the foundation. Otto H.
