Austrian Governments
Proposals to Labor
Have Been Accepted

VIENNA, July 20.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press).-The Austrian gov
eminent, it was understood today,
has offered the following proposals
which labor leaders have accepted
in principle, reserving the right
Of further consultation with the
workers whom they represent:
First, an immediate increase Of
allowances to the unemployed, up
on which class. the existing condi-
tions are most severe.
Second, control commissions to be
placed at all banks to enforce the
governments order prohibiting trad
ing in foreign monies.
Third, prohibition of importation
Of all dispensable articles upon
which duties are payable in gold.
Fourth, vigorous prosecution of
food and clothing profiteers.
Yesterdays demonstration ap-
pears to have been largely of spon.
taneous origin. When groups of
women went to the markets and
found enormous increases in food
prices overnight, the news quickly
spread over the city. Within three
days the price of lard and pork had
risen 33 per cent, that of fats and
sugar 100 per cent, and bread 20
nor cent

saw the possibilities of Corpus
Christi, then small town with an
inaccessible harbor. To improve it
Griffin bisected Mustang island, a
reef to give access to the inner bay.
Miles of roadbed were constructed
around the city, some of it still in
use, but the panic came and brought.
disaster to the feeble railroad.
Griffin went to Mexico to recoup
his fortunes. He located the Ell
Carmin, a silver mine with traces
showing of gold long before aban-
doned by the Spaniards. With a
partner he worked until they un-
covered a twelve-inch vein of ore
assaying $1,000 to the ton. Since
then the property has been appraised
at $1,000,000.
But after his encounter with
bandits Griffin was driven from
Mexico and his experiences Slapped
his nerve as he never returned to
try and assert his rights. He settled
on a hog ranch laboring ten hours
a day to get his new start and his
new stake. But the cholera came
and after that he could not get
ahead. But he worked early and
late until he was taken sick some
weeks ago with the illness that
finally carried him away.

Tax Auditor Indicted
On Nine Counts by
Coquitt Grand Jury

MOULTRIE, Ga, July 2O.-C. G..
Buchannon, Jr., of Waycross, stands
indicted by the Colquitt country
grand jury on nine counts as the
result of his alleged misappropria-
ton Of money he collected from Col
quit county taxpayers last year.
Buchannon was employed by the
commissioners to check the tax
books with the court records and
force property owners who had not
made returns upon tangible prop
erty to give them in and make set
Element.
It is alleged that some $4,000 Of
the money thus collected was never
turned over to the county. Buchan-
non did similar work for other coun~
ties in this section, and came here
highly recommended. He had been
gone for some time before any sus-
picion was attacked to him, as on
his departure he told the authorities
that he would return to wind up
his work at a later date, naming
the approximate time he could be
expected. He hasn't been seen since,
and it is not known where he is at
this time

Dead in New York, May
Have Been Nobleman
BY CONDO

NEW YORK, July 20.-The death
Of Edward Euston, a friendless
night Waterman, today set the police

belief he may have been a member Of
the noble English Euston family.

and locking his door against outside
assistance for more than week.

Federal Juvenile
Law Is Proposed

WASHINGTON, July ,20.-Pro-
vision for more human treatment
of boys and girls who violate fed
eral laws will be made in a bill soon
to be introduced by Senator King,
Utah.
1.-THE states have institutions
where Juvenile delinquents are look
ed after. There are not thrown in
the company Of old, hardened crimi-
nails for an offense, which under
state law, might be a mere misde-
meanor. It is time an adequate fed
eral delinquency law was enacted"
Senator Kings bill will establish
a system Of cooperation between
the states and the federal govern
ment, so that children who run foul
of federal laws will be turned over
to the states and the government
will provide for their support while
in the state institutions.

DECATUR POLICE
SEEK MASKED NEW

Police authorities Of DeKalb coun-
ty and the city of Decatur stated
Thursday that they were making a
diligent search for the eight masked
men who are said to have terror
lied the family of w. o. Watts of
$50 Hopkins street Monday night by
threatening to "string up" Mr..
Watts unless he obtained employ
ment and provided for his family.
Sheriff J. A. McCurdy told The
Journal that he resented the action
Of these parties in meddling in the
affairs of citizen Decatur, and,
while he has practic lily no clue to
the identity Of the men, he is going
to see to it that the threatened fam
lily is unframed.
II am devoting my personal at
tention and the energies Of my
deputies in maintaining law and or
der in DeKalb county," he said,
land, without reference to any per-
son or persons in particular, we feel
keep the mainter ance of law in our
own hands and do not appreciate
the misguided efforts of others"
Chief Googher, of tt Decatur po-
lice, said he had his men working on
the case and voiced practically the
same sentiments as Sheriff McCurdy.
Mrs. Watts, who notified the au-
thorities Wednesday that her hus-
band had been threatened, said
Thursday that her family had not
been molested since Monday night.
Mrs. Watts said the family still
was nervous but felt safer after the
authorities had assured her Of their
protection.
II am thinking only of my hus-
band and children" she said. my
husband is an honest man trying
hard to give us the necessaries of
life and it is cruel for these people
to interfere and try to take the af-
fairs of our household into their own
hands.
my children and myself are con-
tent with the way Mr.. Watts is con-
Quoting his affairs and I don't think
it is anybody else's business"
Mrs. Watts said Wednesday night
was spent peacefully but there was
an atmosphere of apprehension lest
the midnight intruders might return.
Mrs. Watts reported Wednesday
that her husband was called to his
front door Monday night about 10
o'clock and told that unless, he OBJ
tanned employment Immediately. he
would be strung up" She said
there were eight hooded white-robed
men in the party wearing rega!ia
similar to that worn by the XII Klux
Khan.
Khan officials have denied any
knowledge, of the affair and have
announced to her, Mrs. Watts says,
a willingness to assist in seeking
the identity of the members Of the
party.

MERRITT GRIFFIN, PIONEER
WESTERN BUILDER, DEAD
No Call Issued
For Trolley Strike
On Chicago Lines

CHICAGO, July 20.-An Air Of
mystery still enve1oped the failure
Of w. D. Mahon, president of the
street car mems union, to transmit
a strike order to Chicago's 10000
surface line and elevated employees.
Officials of the two companies were
still confident, however. that Mahon
would come to Chicago, and that
further negotiations may avert a
Walkout.
William Quinlan, local president
of the street car mems union, de-
clared that the only construction
he could place on Mr.. Mahon's
silence was that the international
president was coming to Chicago.
The local union will take no
action until word is received from
Mahon.

Was 81 Years of Age-CIose
Associate of "BuffaIo Bill"
Cody, Theodore Roosevelt
and Others
BY MASON Nj SUTHERLAND
Ueased Wire Service to Jhe Joarnal.)
A(CoDyripht 1927

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 90
Merritt Arnold Griffin is dead ON
his little hog ranch short distance
from San Antonio He passed on at
the age Of 50. Only one person re-
mains to mourn, him. She-of
course it Is a woman-is Viviana,
that Is her only name, an old Next
can woman who served him as
housekeeper for nearly 80 years.
To the old timer the name Of Grit
fin conjures up the days of empire
building, the days Of romance and
fortune. For the dead man was the
friend and associate Of James J.
Hill, Buffalo Bill'' Cody, Theodore
Roosevelt and the either men who
played such prominent part in the
winning of the west" ..
Griffin amassed fortunes In his
time. He sunk more than a quarter
of million dollars in his dream of
connecting Texas with South Amer
lea by rail only to have the panic
of 1879 sweep away his fortune and
that of his associates. But, undaunt-
ed, he went back, this time, to Mex
leo where he piled up another SUBJ
stantIal stake before being driver
away by bandits who would have
killed him If it had not been for
Viviana.
With that money he engaged in
hog ranching. For time he met
with success. But ten years ago tho
plague of hog cholera killed off all
his stock. Since then his luck was
bad-it couldn't be very good to
man past 70-and when he died he
left a Ford truck, Is acres Of land
and a few hogs. They are willed
to Viviana because once she saved
his life by sitting for hours blow
ing on his face when he was burn
ing up with fever and a second TINA
when she kept the bandits away
and bought his freedom by paying
them what pesos she had and promis-
ing more when the returns from an
ore shipment should arrive.
He had tried to marry her on his
sick bed but failed. However, be-
fore he died he was assured that
she would get his property, the
county officials will make sure of
this.
Leaving his Pennsylvania home,
at the age of Is, Griffin went to
Michigan where he worked with
Westerhaver and others. Then he
became a railroad conductor and
meeting "Jim' Hill, the latter backed
him as contractor, and he graded
many miles Of the old Northern
Pacific roadbed. It was then that
he met Bill Cody and spent much
time on the old place at Meadora
where Theodore Roosevelt was
ranching.
Coming to Texas he built railroads
and finally became associated with
the late Colonel E. H. Ropes and
J. S. Peter, now vice president OF
the S. A. & A. P, in building the
Corpus Christi and South American
railroad which was to link the
Americas.
