DENVER, Colo., Aug. 12.—Edwin F. Morse, reported Leader Promiitéet in Organization of THE SHRIEVALTY 1 MARATHON— Free State Government Passes Away Suddenly from Brief Iliness BELFAST, Aug. 12.—(By thur Griffith, president of the today of influenza, it has been The Associated Press,)—Ar- Dail Eireann, died in Dublin learned in Belfast. Mr. Griffith was ill only ten days and his illness was not| considered serious. Yesterday, however, he suffered a sud-| den reiapse 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 tonsilitis. He was recovering from the operation and apparently regaining his normal strength during the last few days. In fact, Mr. Griffith had responded o his treatment so well that he was able to Jeave the hospital dally for his official duties, returning to the insti- tution at night. ‘This morning he ate a hearty oveakfast and was going upstairs when he suddenly collapsed. He was arried into his room and a doctor was summoned. He said Mr. Griffith was suffering from cerebral hemor- rhage. A priest was then sent for, and he had just finished administer- ing the last rites of the church when Mr. Griffith expired. Arthur Griffith was one of the lead- ers in the creation of the Irish Free State. He was one of the founders of the Siinn Fein movement in Ireland and from the beginning has been among the foremost leaders directing its activities. He has been somewhat out of light, however, during the re- cent military activities which have been largely directed on behalf of Free States forces by Michael - Col- lins, head of the Irish provisional gov- ernment set up under the terms of the Angilo-Irish treaty. Mr. Gkiffitt was formerly an editor of Dublin and tater established the newspaper United Iishmen, ‘llowed by other Sinn Fein and then the Na- tionality, both of which represented he wing of the Republican movement favoring dominion status for Ireland. He first attracted attention by his uncampromising attitude for abstenta- tion by Irish members from attend- ance of the sessions of the British parliament at Westminister. This ‘idea gradually formed the new nucleus of the Sinn Fein organization, which took place of the Irish nationalist movement. In October, 1919, Griffith was elect- ed presiding officer for the opening of the Sinn Fein conference in Dublin. In July 1919, Griffith was elected acting president of the Irish national assembly in the absence of Eamonn De Valera, who was in the United States. In October of the: same year he was elected one of the permanent arrested at Lare-[vice presidents of the Sinn Fein or- do, Texas, today was alleged to haved ganization. absconded with $75,000 in currency; on August 13, 1921, from the Inter-; national Trust company here. Morse had been employed as a teller at the bank and was alleged to have taken the money from his cage after the close of business on a Saturday. Bank officials did not discover the money was tnissing until the follow- ing Monday morning. Miss Mabel Penfold, who had for- merly bee.) employed as a comptome- ter operator at the bank, disappeared /as at the same time. Detectives later re- ported they had traced the couple to} Mexico. 1 Ghiftfith was arrested in Dublin in November, 1920, and spent seven months in Mount Joy prison. During his imprisonment he issued a message to the Irish people as to the conduct of the Sinn Fein organization. An attempt was tuade to rescue him from Mount Joy prison, but the armored edr used for that purpose failed to carry out its mission. The return of Mr. De Valera was attributed to Griffith’s imprisonment Mr. De Valera, upon his return resumed the active direction of Sinn Fein affairs. Barly in June, 1921, there were re- ports of a London conference at which Irigh leaders would be invited to consult with members of the British cabinet. Griffith was men- tloned among the probable delegates. | His release from Mount Joy prison! fololwed later in the same month Griffith accompanied De Valera to London in Jyly, when the extended series of conferences was opened. | Later when the conference shifted to! different points, Griffith was appoint-| ed chairman of the Sinn Fein mission. He was in London through October, | November and December, carrying on the negotiations which culminated on | Deommber 5, with the signing of the| ‘treaty between Great Britain and! Treland. A fundamental difference between | Eamonn De Valera and Griffith in ‘thelr political views bas been marked | since the incepton of the Republican | movement, While De Valera has! stood uncompromisingly for absolute tmdependence, Griffith with Collins, held to the view that the "system of (Continued on Page Four) i RED SHOWED A BURST OF SPEED AFTER MAKINGHIS SPEECH AND Toox| THE LEAD.
