SCHOOL BOARD CLERK
STOLE BY THOUSANDS.
ANOTHER GOOD MAN DISCOVERED,
AFTER DEATH. TO HAVE
BEEN WRONG.
AT LEAST HUNDRED THOUSAND
STOLEN AND PLAYED IN ON THE
RACES, AND MAYBE TWICE
AS MUCH.

CINCINNATI, O., November 29.-
accounts of George R. Griffiths, who
was clerk OF the Board Of Education
here for thirteen years previous to his
death, October /, 1900, are short at least
500, 900, and it is thought that when
the exact amount of the stealings be-
come konwn, they will be found to be
nearer double that sum. His pecula-
lions covered the whole term Of service
as clerk of the school board. The aud
itors experts say that he misappropri-
ated nearly all the tuition fees paid by
nonresident students since 1893. he
kept one private cash book in which
accounts were correctly entered and
he kept four fraudulent cash books
with forced balances, made to fit the
case of each examination as it might
arise. He had forged receipts for mon
eys purporting to have been paid by
him into the city treasury, the forgery
consisting of fraudulent signatures pur-
porting to be the genuine signatures
of the city treasurer.
George B. Grifiths was one of the
best known public men in Cincinnati
and the news of his populations has
come as a thunderbolt to all who hon
ored his memory.
Griffiths was always lover of horses
and it is thought he lost most of the
money backing his fayorites. He was
known to make wagers on tracks at
Chicago and elsewhere. He was one of
the leading spirits in the organization
of the Oakley race track which closed
down two years ago, after the stock
holders had lost thousands of dollars
il improving the track. 1t is known
also that he was fond of card games,

CAMPAIGN planned BY
UNITED Mine WORKERS.
DILIGENT EFFORTS TO BE MADE
TO UNIONIZE THE STATE OF
WEST VIRGINIA.
FORTY ORGANIZERS AT WORK.
ONLY FIVE PER CENT. OF TWENTY
THOUSAND WEST VIRGINIA
MINERS ORGANIZED.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 29.-
The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, have taken up a campaign of or
ganization in West Virginia, ostensibly
to present to the next joint interstate
convention of miners and operators, a
representative from the Mountain State
to discount the contest of years by the
bituminous operators against the COM
peting and unorganized field there with
its much lower wage rates. Forty or
ganizers are taking up the work and
they have established headquarters at
Clarksburg and Fairmont. The organ
ization campaign is to be led by Chris
Evans, formerly the head of the Unit
ed Workers Journal. In West Virginia
there are now about 10000 miners and
scarcely more than five per cent of
these are organized in the United Mine
Workers. The scheme of the campaign,
which in West Virginia, must neces-
sarily be conducted with great secrecy,
was outlined at a recent meeting of
the national executive board at Indian
apolis.
