LAWYER AND WIFE
ACCUSED OF FRAUD
NEW YORK POLICE ARREST MAN
AND WOMAN WHO HAD RAkED
IN HUGE SUM.

Boston, Mass, May 8.-Francis H.
Griffin, New York attorney. and his
wife, Clara H. Griffin, were arrested at
Groton today, charged with using the
mails to defraud. Government officials
claim that by fraudulent representa-
tions the Griffins have obtained be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
1t is charged that Mrs. Griffin rep
resented to many persons that she had
contracts for stenographic work In
connection with antitrust prosecutions
by federal and state authorities. Ow-
ing to the secrecy attending such in
vestigations, Mrs. Griffin claimed, it Is
charged, that she was unable to obtain
from banks the funds needed to carry
out her contracts. She represented
her expenses as heavy, but profits
large.
1t is charged that Mrs. Griffin OBJ
tanned the desired funds from individ-
uals though she had no contracts rep
resented. A man whose name is with
held supplied 100000 and two others
furnished $4,000 each it is asserted.
Griffin and his wife were brought
here and arratgned. They were held
IN bail of $4,000 each for trial at New
York.

White House Bridal Pair Go
on a 7lDO Weeks HONEYMOON

Washington, y. c.. May S.-Miss Ell
eanor Randolph Wilson, youngest
daughter of the President and Mrs
Wilson, became the bride last night Of
William Gibbs McAdoo, the secretary
Of the treasury in the historic blue
room of the. white house.
Less than hundred persons and
but few officials heard the low-toned
voice Of the Rev. Sylvester w. Beach,
pastor Of the First Presbyterian
church of Princeton, N. j., where the
Wilson family has worshiped for years
as he united in marriage a member
of the cabinet and the daughter Of the
president of the United States.
1t was a simple ceremony, brief but
solemn-the radiant faces of the bride
and groom rejecting the happiness Of
the hour For the President and Mrs.
Wilson it was a touching moment, as
they gave away a daughter for the
second time within year Around
them stood their relatives and friends
Ia small group-for 1t was a family
affair, much the same kind Of home
wedding one would see in any Ameri-
can household, though the historic in
terror of the white house with its
masses Of lilies and ferns, the Uniform
ed aids and the presence OF members
of the cabinet and the vice president

Making Preparation to Put
More Soldiers Into Mexico

Washington, May Sit has been
learned on high authority that the war
department had under consideration to-
day early adequate reinforcement Of
the command of General Funston at
Vera Cruz to carry out any movement
that might be necessary, into the in
terror of Mexico. The question of plac-
ing large force of Americans in Vera
Cruz that would be strong enough to
defend that port against any attack or
to undertake possible campaign
against Mexico City, was later laid be-
fore the president and his cabinet by
Secretary of War Garrison.
Decision of war department officials
that reinforcements were needed ar
at Vera Cruz was received at
the late conference of Secretary Garri-
son and the general staff last night.
Secretary Garrison called the confer
ence after receiving a cipher telegram
from Vera Cruz. This was delivered
to him at the white house where he
was attending the wedding of the pres
idents daughter. He left the festivi-
tiess and summoned his aides to the
war department.
Among the dispatches received was
one which reported the firing of two
oil wells at Tampico. The protection
OF American lives and property, it was
stated, was the prime motive behind
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1914-05-09

the determination of army and navy Of
ficers that the American forces in Mex.
leo should be reinforced.
In connection with the military pre-
parations for a possible forward move
ment, it became known that the Of
ficials of the war department have
been in long distance telephone COM
munication with the governors Of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, in an ef-
fort to determine how soon the militia
organizations Of those states could be
modified and sent to the seaboard for
shipment in transports The depart
ment has been energetic in it's efforts
to make all preparations for the pos
sible mobilization of the national
guard for some time.
Latest inquiries of the department
were directed toward ascertaining how
soon the New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio troops could be put in motion,
in their present condition, without de.
lay that would be necessitated by re.
cruiting them up to full war strength.
In the theoretical organization of the
militia the Pennsylvania and New
York state troops each make up full
tactical division. They are the only
states supplying a full division quota
Ohio combined with Michigan to fill a
division, and the other divisions are,
made up Of several states each.

NOT Time FOR A
GENERAL STRIKE.
United Mine Workers Told
By Committee to Stay
at Employment
COLORADO MINERS
IN NEED OF MONEY
Up to Federation to Supply
Sinews of War; Censure
for Rockefeller

Indianapolis, Ind. May S.-'That u
is not the part of wisdom for the min
ers in the organized states to engage
in general strike at this particular
time." was the report today OF the
special committee to the international
executive board Of the United Mine
Workers OF America, in session here.
1t was decided, however. to push tho
strike In Colorado and an appeal for
financial help issued.
After stating that the situation had
been canvassed thoroughly the report
on the general strike subject con-
tinues:
I'VE believe that We can better aid
our gallant brothers In Colorado BY
remaining at work, thus insurinR In .
financial way our fullest support 70 tho
men, women and children. who have
been long engaged In the great strug-
gle in Colorado. We must be In
position to finance properly the strike
in that state indefinitely, until the
success of the miners cause La assured
and general strike at this time might
jeopardize our position In this respect
without adding anything material to
the success of the Colorado strike. OF
course II conditions in Colorado do not
improve and II we do not receive the
proper protection from the federal gov.
ernment, this policy may be changed
to meet exigencies OF any new situa-
ion that the future might develop.
I'VE call upon our membership every
whore to hold themselves In readiness
to answer any call we may make upon
them. You can ~reAt assured that We
firmly resolved to carry ont ahy HH0vS
which we may deem beneficial "a. the
Colorado strikers, but Ut this particu.
lar time we are convinced that the
policy we have outlined is tho wisest
course for us to pursue"
In dealing with the hazardOusness
of the work Of the miner. the report
on the Colorado situation declares
that government statistics show that
covering period Of ten years past
more men were killed, per thousand
employed, In the coal mines of Colo
RADIO than in any other mining section
throughout the entire world"
The Colorado report also attacks
John %. Rockefeller, Jr., declaring that
he. by lone word, favoring q settle
ment through meeting between the
representatives OF the coal companies
and the representatives of the striking
employees" could have avoided the loss
OF life and damage to property In that
state.
