A. GRIFFITH
ERIN LEADER
fill VICTIM
President of Dail Eireann Suc
cumbs to Influenza Attack
in Dublin Hospital Direct
Cause of Death Uncertain
Chief Creator of Irish Free
State.
BELFAST, Aus. 12. (By Associated
Press). Arthur Griffith, president of
the Dail Eireann died in Dublin today
of Influenza, it has been learned in
Belfast. Mr. Griffith was ill only ten
days and his illness was not consid
ered serious. 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
lor an operation for tonsllltis. He was
recovering from the operation and ap
parently regaining his normal strength
during the last few days.
In fact, Mr. Griffith had responded
to his treatment so well that he was
able to leave the hospital daily for his
official duties, returning to the institu
tion at night.
This morning he ate a hearty break
fast and was going upstairs when he
suddenly collapsed. He was carried
into his room aud.a doctor was suni-
'Aitku e Gii i, tWs.
moned. Ho said Mr. Griffith was Buf
fering from cerebral hemorrhage. A
priest was then sent for and he had
just finished administering the last
rites of the church when Mr. Griffith
expired.
Leader of Free State
Arthur Griffith was one of the lead
ers in the creation of tho Irish free
state. Ho was one of the founders of
tho Sinn Fein movement in Ireland
and from the beginning has been
among the foremost leaders directing
its activities. He has been somewhat
out of Bight however, during the recent
military activities, which have been
largely directed on 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 Nation
ality, both of which represented the
wing of the republican movement fa
voring dominion status for Ireland.
He first attracted attention by his
uncompromising attitude for absten
tion by Irish members from attendance
of the sessions of the British parlia
ment at Westminster. The idea grad
ually formed the neuclus of the Sinn
Fein organization which took the place
of the Irish nationalist movement
Elected President 1919
In October, 1919 Griffith was elected
presiding officer for the opening of the
binn Fein conference In Dublin. In
July, 1919, he was elected acting presi
dent of the Irish national assembly in
the absence of Kamon DeValera, who
was In the United States. In October
of the same year, he was elected one
of the permanent vice presidents of
the Sinn Fein organization.
Griffith was arrested in Dublin In
November, 1920, and spent seven
months in Mountjoy prison.
The return of Mr. DeValera from
America was attributed to Griffith's
imprisonment, as Mr. DeValera, upon
