SOUNDS CALL FOR
HIGH CIVIC IDEALS
JOHN TOPHAM MAKES ADDRESS
AT POLYTECHNIC
Points Out That Los Angeles Leads
in Municipal Reforms and Has
Solved Urgent Civic
Problems

1.-THE one great failure of our Amer
ican institutions is the government OF
cities" said John Topham, member of
the police commission, addressing the
students of Polytechnic high school
yesterday. Mr.. Topham made an ur-
gent plea for the direct primary and
the recall, showing how both had been
operative in the cause of good gov
ernment in the past.
"The maladministration of our civic
bodies has long been a national scan
dal," he said. New York and Tam
many hall are synonymous for all
that is corrupt in municipal politics.
II any man attempted to run his busi-
ness as New York runs its own he
would be bankrupt in week.
Until the present time city politics
have been neglected except by the
CRATER, country communities being
depended upon to more than counter
balance the city vote in state and ma
tional elections. But times are chang
ing, so that IL the present rate of in
crease keeps on in 1920 there Will be
10000 900 more residents in cities than
out of them. If the cities cannot be
depended upon TO control their own
affairs, what shall we do when they
control the state and nation?
'The saddest thing in our municipal
ers get into politics, but that good men
are willing to let them.
ITO whom shall we look for re-
demption? Shall we expect the party
politician to help. who is Interested
only in the jobs he can get and con-
troll the fat contracts he can secure,
who trails his party as fetish across
the path of reform and who urges the
election of men of the Healy and
Houghton type to protect the tariff
from attack by its enemies? Shall we
expect help from a press that is willing
to support a Cox, a Calhoun, Dur
ham and a Schmitz?
81 believe that here in Los Angeles
We are answering the question. It
has been conceded that the people
have the right to elect their officials,
and we have demonstrated here that
we have the right to discharge them.
So efficient a weapon has the recall
become that even staid old Boston has
Incorporated ii in her charter Los
Angeles is to be congratulated in hav-
ing an institution like the City club,
which is willing to place civic right
eousness above party politics, and
press which stands for purity in mu-
nicipal affairs"

at Truesdeli just after eight O'Clock
Saturday evening Mrs. Alvina Rudolph,
"a former well known woman of the
town Of Brighton, courted death. She
stood there waving ner arms and utter
ing religious teachings and her strange
actions attracted the attention of men
at the Truesdeh station who managed
to reach her before she was cut to
pieces by fact train which was ap-
preaching. Mrs Rudolph has been
suffering from mental trouble for sew
eral years and was an inmate of the
Racine County Hospital for the insane

men at Truesdell she began to humble
some religious teachings and the men,
fearing that she was insane, called up

her TO Kenosha. Later her son, Anus

Mrs. George A. Mclean Of Chicago,
a former Kenosha county woman and
daughter of Captain Alfred -Acker-
man, the well known sage Of Twin
Lakes in the town of Randall, was
terribly injured in an automobile
wreck near New Brunswick, New Jer-
sey, on Saturday and she is now in a
hospital at New Brunswick suffering
from her injuries. Her husband,
George A. Mclean, one Of the best
known of the heads Of the Marshall
Field department store in Chicago, was
instantly killed in the accident as was
her son, George A. Mclean, who was a
student at the st. Paul school last year
and who had just planned to enter
Princeton. Mrs. MsLean, her daughter
Miss Dorothy Mclean and the Misses
Harriet and Jeanette Mcdonald, guests
Of the McLeans, are all in the hospital
at New Brunswick, but it is thought
that they will recover.
The accident occurred late on Sat-
urday. The McLeans and their guests
were touring when the chauffeur in
l,charge Of the car lost control of the
steering gear and the car skidded, run
ming into telegraph pole. The auto

speed at the time and the crash re-
suited in all of the occupants Of the
auto being injured. Mclean and his
son were taken out from under the
wrecked machine dead, while the wom-
en- in the party were unconscious when
found.
Mrs. Mclean is widely known among
people in Kenosha county, and espec-
tally in Randall. Captain Alderman
and his wife came to Kenosha in the
late ffties and remained here until 1865
when he removed to Twin Lakes where
he built the Alderman hotel. Mrs
Mclean was born in this county and
spent her entire life prior to her mar
riage to Mr.. Mclean at Twin Lakes.
The relatives Of the injured woman
are anxiously waiting reports Of
her condition. The reports from the
hospital this morning indicate that
Mrs. Mclean and her daughter as well
as the two MISSES Mcdonald will re

SAVES BOY FROM DEATH
Carl Starr the Hero Of Exciting Incl
dent at Twin Lakes Sunday

Carl Starr, well known young man
of Kenosha, was the hero of very ex-
citing incident at Twin Lakes on Sun
day afternoon when he saved Ralph
Gregor, twelve years old Chicago oy
from drowning. Gregor and Starr
were members of ) a party which had
gone out in small boat and the boy
got too interested in. the water about
the boat and went overheard Young
Gregor was foundering about in the
water when Starr jumped in after him
and managed to bring him back to the
boat. The boy was pretty well filled
with water, but he was taken to the
Waldeck Hotel and given some dry
clothing and in short time was able
to go out on the lake again A num-
Der of Kenosha people were in the boat
when the accident happened and they
are high in their praise Of the bravery
of Starr in going to the rescue.

father. The son stated that his father
had been worried on account of litiga-
ton in which he was interested and
that on account of this he had become
respondent. He left his home on the
afternoon of May oath aud little
later he called his wife by telephone
from store just across the street and
told her that he was going to commit
suicide. This was the last seen of Am
sterdam by the members of his family.
For weeks the police of Chicago search
ed for>the man, but found nothing.
The condition of the body indicated
that 1t had been in the lake for many
weeks and it is now thought that Am
sterdam threw himself into the lake
on the same day that he left his home
and that the body had been washed
back and forth by the waves until it
was finally cast on the beach off the
Hansche farm on Saturday afternoon.
Amsterdam is survived by widow
and eight children. He was about
fifty years of age and had been a resi-
dent OF Chicago for many years. The
identification of the body was brought
about by a portion of a court order
found in one of the pockets of the
dead man. This was an order relating
to the use of property which Amster-
dam owned on Wood and Taylor streets
IN Chicago. The Amsterdam property
had evidently been used as a grand
stand during the worlds champion
ship base ball series last year and AM
.sterdam had lot of trouble over the
use of the building in this way. A
portion of the court order had been
obiterated by the action of the water,
but enough of it was left to show the
location of the property and the names
OF the attorneys in the action and with
this as clue the Chicago officials had
no trouble in solving the identity of
the dead man.

THINK MAN KILLED HIMSELF
Tele phoned His Wife After Leaving
Homo That He Was Going to Commit
Suicide and Finding of the Body In
dicates That He Kept His Word.

Old Lake Michigan cleared up an
other mystery on Saturday evening
when the badly decomposed body Of
Peter Amsterdam, Chicago teamster
employed by the Arthur Dixon Com
pany in that city, until three months
ago, was washed up by the surf just
east of the w. F. Hanche farm near
Berryville. The remains were found
by Peter Marsh and Chris Fay, en-
ployees Of the farm who were working
along the lake. They first sighted 1t
at one o. clock in the afternoon, but
it was two hours later before the body
of the man drifted in towards the
beach where it could be secured by
the two men. Thinking that the body
was in Racine county the men notified
the Racine officials and the coroner Of
that county and an undertaken went
to the Hanche farm, but after making
an investigation the Racine coroner de
cided that the body was in Kenosha
county and the local officials were mott
fed. The body was brought to the
Miller morgue here and Justice George
B. McCarron called jury to hold an
inquest. The inquest will be con
tinued this evening.
Late Sunday night son Of Amster-
dam came to Kenosha from Chicago
and after he had seen the papers taken
from the pockets of the dead man he
declared that there was no doubt but
that the remains were those of his

Owing largely to the prejudice of
Kenosha people against bond issues of
every kind this city has smaller
bonded Indebtedness than almost any
other city of its size and wealth in
the country and for that reason the
school bonds about to be issued should
be disposed of without any difficulty.
1t is believed that this issue can be
placed at four per cent rate and at
premium that will pay the cost of
placing them on the market.
