WAS ILL ONLY 10 DAYS Was One Of Most Conspicu ous Figures In Modern History Of Ireland. BELFAST, Aug. 12. (By The Associated Press.) Arthur Griffith, president of the Daily Eiifeann, died in Dublin today of influenza, it has been learned in Belfast. Mr. Griffith was ill only ten days, and his illness was not considered seri ous. Yesterday, however, he suffered a sudden relapse and died early, this morning. His death occurred at 9:45 o'clock this morning in St. Vincent's hospital, Dublin, which he entered ten days ago, for an operation for . tonsolitis. He was recovcrig from the operation and apparently was regaining his normal strength during the last few days. . The death of Arthur Griffith marks the passing - of one of the foremost figures in modern Ireland. He was one of the most conspicuous leaders in the creation of the new Irish free state. He was one of the founders of the Sinn Feiun movement in Ireland, and from the beginig has bee among. the foremost leaders- directing its activities. He has been somewhat out of the lime light, however, during tho recent mili tary activities, which have been largely directed, oil behalf of free state forces, by Michael Collins, head of the Irish provisional government set up under the , terms of the Anglo-Irish treaty. Mr. Griffith was formerly an editor of Dublin, and later established the newspaper United Irishmen, followed by the Sinn Fein and then the Nationalist. He first attracted attention by his uncompromising " attitude for absten tion by Irish members from attend ance of the sessions of the British par liament at Westminister. This idea gradually formed the nucleus of the Sinn Fein organization which took the place of the Irish nationalist movement. In October, 1919, Griffith was elect ed presiding officer for the opening of the , Sinn r ein conference in Lmblm He was later nominated as Sinn Fein delegate front East Cuvan. During the peace conference at Pans, in 1919, he was , chosen as an Irian delegate to present the Irish case, but failure to get a safe conduct from the British government prevented his attendance. In July, 1919, Griffith was elected acting president of the Irish national assembly in the absence of hamonn do Valera, who was .in the Unitod State. In October ef the same year he was elected one of , the permanent vice presidents of ' tho Siun Fein organiza tion. Griffith , was arrested in Dublin in November. 1920, and spent seven months in Mount Joy prison. Griffith accompanied de Valera to London in July, when the extended series of conference was opcucd. Later, when the conferences shifted to dif ferent points, Griffith was appointed chairman of the Sinn Fein mission. Ho was in London carrying o the egotiations which culminated last December with tho . signing of treaty ; bewteen Great Britain the and Ireland. SOLDIERS TO GUARD DURING TRIAL OF NEGROES NEXT WEEK CARTHAGE, Aug. 12. A battalion of soldiers will guard .tho courthouse and jail while the three negroes, John Lee, aged 16, of Wilmington; Angus Saunders ged 36, of Robeson County, and Joseph homas, aged 29, of South Carolina, are being tried here next week for their life, for assaulting Mrs. A. E. Ketchen and the shooting of her husband, while de fending her, which occurred near South ern Tines several days ago. Sheriff D. Al Blue has completed ar- angements through Governor Morrison for Adjutaut General Metts to send a full battalion of soldiers and machine gun here next week to guard the negroes from any violence when they are brought, back here from the state penitentiary for trial. It will be remcmltered that Sheriff Blue, by his quick thinking and acting, outwitted a mob who had gathered to take the law into their own hands and put these prisoners to death, the would be lynchers pursuing the vigilant officer to the outskirts of Raleigh. This action on the sheriff's part saved this blot from the county's fair name, and he is de termined that there will be sufficient for-'e to take -care of any emergency that maj arise. Judge B. F. Long, one of the most fearless superior court judges in the state, will preside at the regular August term of criminal court for Moore county which convenes Monday, at which these men will be tried. RALEIGH, Aug 12. Extra precau tions to insure the safety of the thre negroes, charged with criminal assault on Mrs. A, E. Ketchen and with shooting her husband near Aberdeen Thursday night of last week, will be taken by both the. state and county authorities when they are returned to Moore couuty for trial next week.

DEPARTMENT WARNS WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. (By The Associated Press.) Home brewers and anti-Volateadeans, be war the "Booze Powder," is the warning sent broadcast by the Post Office Department, in a recent cir cular. - For stemming a tide of "dehydrated" alcoholic beverages of reminiscent names is a steady job of the fraud section of the depart ment Using the reputation of German chemists certain German concerns have distributed hundreds of thou sands of circulars in the United States, offering for "one dollar only, Rhine Wine, moselle, Sherry, port, bordeaux, burgundy, tokay, munich beer, pilsener, porter, ale, etc." In a dried form, says the Post of fice. From the powder a gallon or two of the beverage indicated on the package can be made, the spuri ous circulars claim. Despite the issuance of fraud warnings and fraud orders, many people, are still sending money to these German concerns only to have the money returned to them by the Post Office Department If these powders contained alcohol their im portation would be prohibited and since they do not have the latent possibilities advertised they violate the fail fraud statutes. A significant requirement, adds the Department warnings, is that every advertising circular insists on payment being made in Americas Currency.
