SAYS LOS ANGELES
IS MARVEL OF AGE
Former Gov. Adams of Colorado
Pays Glowing Tribute to
City of Daring
CENSUS WILL SHOW IT LEADS
Speaks Before the City Club on
"Price of Good Local
Government"
When it's on the program to make
things pleasant Alva Adams, the trtple
plated povernor of Colorado and his
forty-acre smile, fulfill the mission.
Governor Adams was the headliner at
the City club yesterday, and he handed
out a line of talk about the Ideal state
Of politics in Los Angeles that made
every individual member present swell
up like a pouter pigeon. It went some
thing like this:
"Los Angeles is an example o£ the
ultimate of the principles I deem essen
tial for good local government. Your
city is the marvel of the age. More
than any other city I have Been it has
imagination, it has visions, it has cour
age, it has daring. The census will
show that it has made the greatest ad
vancement ever made in the history of
any city of the country."
After he had paid Los Angeles this
tribute he delivered an address on "The
Price of Good Local Government." in
the course of which he said:
"If there are traitors under our flag
it is the clean, decent people who are
indifferent, or who think they are too
respectable to take a hand in politics.
The Almighty never made a man too
good to do hlB part in this republic.
Civic duties are as imperative as moral
obligations.
COST OF GOVERNMENT
All goo« things cost; In all the world
there is nothing better than free Gov
ernment, but we must pay the price.
There is nothing as expensive as good
government, except bad government.
If you are satisfied with indifferent
management of public affairs stay at
home on election day or stick to your
party on all occasions. The neglect-of
the good is the opportunity of the bad.
There are selfish Interests that will be
glad to administer city business.
"The waste of tax money, grafting
and the failure of moral statutes are
the text for countless sermons and the
anathema of thousands of taxpayers,
yet the preacher and the citizen are
mostly responsible for the laxity and
extravagance. The good people of any
community have but to combine and
work in harmony to secure any kind of
government they want. Generally the
people get Just as good government as
they deserve.
"The power of the boss is through
party prejudice. His cunning plays
upon our partisanship. The good are
always in the majority,«but they split
their forces and let a united minority
control. Plunder and vice are always
organized.
PARTISANSHIP OVT OF PI-ACE
"Our common sense tells us that in
local affairs, upon the questions of
water, light, morals, transportation and
home rule, partisanship is as much out
of place as prayer at a poker party. To
the four things the prophet could not
understand, 'the way of an eagle in
the air, the way of a serpent on a
rock, the way of a ship at sea or the
ways of a man with a maid,' may be
added the ways of the average Ameri
can citizen with his ballot.
"There is no evil that cannot be
cured, no reform that cannot be inaug
urated by an active, determined, nun
partisan electorate. If they so will, the
bad boss can be made a good boss and
do their will There is no machine the
people cannot smash, no ring they can
not break—but It must be done from
the outside. No party in power ever
reforms itself; no pap-sucker ever
changes methods or lets go his grip;
no tax grafter ever resigned or surren
dered of his own free will.
"Political Insurgency sometimes be
comes the highest patriotism. The re
public is in peril when membership in a
party is held as an atonement for the
wrong use of tax money. Our people
are too quick to forgive and forgot po
litical crimes. This conception of toler
ance is a menace to our institutions.
Integrity has no double standard. There
is not a political and a business side to
honesty. The eighth commandment
means exactly the same in politics as
in the church or the grocery store. The
laws received by Moses amid the cloud
and thunder of Sinai have not been
amended or repealed, nor has a compe
tent court held them to be unconstitu
tional, or exempted either political par
ty from their conditions.
praises crrr club
"The civic virtue of our country has
but to be awakened and organized to
win our cities from misrule. Your or
ganization is a pioneer in this work.
Judas Iscarlot cannot now be elected
to office in Los Angeles even though on
the majority ticket. The people are
learning to scratch, the courage and in
dependence to scratch a party ticket is
a promising sign. Liberty has no
stronger ally than a scratched ballot.
When voters dare cross political lin<
free government is safe.
"Corporations are business and not
political Institutions. They have no
convictions. Their mission in politics
is to dodge taxes, grab franchises,
fchape legislation in Clieir interests.
They can swear off an assessment on
their property and swear a tax on the
community with equal avidity. They
are not party bigots; they can be 1 >.m
--ocratic in the spring and Republican
In the fall. They play no favorites and
are as ready to buy a Democrat us they
are a Republican, but they are always
monomaniacs in looking after their own
selfish interests. Treat them fair. Be
liberal, for they Have done much for
our country and are entitled to gen
erous consideration, but they tlo not
own it."

YET TO SHOW SWOPE
MET POISON DEATH
Commission May Be Appointed to
Examine Viscera of Men
Said Murdered
LAWYERS FOR DEFENSE MUM
After Long Debate, Court Rules
That If Empowered Will
Order Investigation
(Associated Freta]
KANSAS CITY, April 30.—Whether
poison caused the deaths of Col. Thom
as H. and Chrisman Swope may yet be
determined by a commission of medi
cal experts appointed by Judge K. S.
Latihaw, presiding judge at the Hyde
murder trial.
Provided it Is within its power, the |
court suggested today to the attorneys |
in the case 'that there should be se
lected several competent and unbiased
si lentlsts to make an investigation of
those parts of the viscera of the two
men which have not been examined by
the scientists employed by the prose
cution. The court will announce Mon
day whether it believes such action
would be legal on its part.
Dr. Hyde's attorneys refuse to state
whether this plan of procedure would
be satisfactory to them. They will
probably issue a statement after a
consultation set for tomorrow, they
said tonight.
Prosecutor Conkling says he is will
ing that any commission the court
may appoint shall make an investiga
tion,
RESULT OF DEBATE
The offer of the suggestion by Judge
Latshaw came after a long debate in
the court room today over whether
testimony regarding the refusal of Dr.
Ludwig Hektoen to relinquish unex
amined sections of the viscera to
chemists employed by the defense be
admitted. This demand preceded an
indictment In the case and was made
while the organs were in Chicago.
Judge Latshaw will also report Mon
day on whether he believes this testi
mony should be admissible.
Dr. Calvin Akins, city physician of
Independence, was the first witness
today. He testified as to the condition
of Col. Swope's body. He paid he did
not believe the natural bodily ailments
would have caused death.
Dr. Ludwig Hektoen followed Dr.
Akins. He was Interviewed by Mr.
Paxton and Thomas H. Swope, Jr., in
Chicago on December 22, he said, and j
on December 30 was employed to
work on the case.
In answer to a long hypothetical
question setting forth the condition of
Mr. Swope and asking what, in his
opinion was the cause of death, the
witness said:
TYPHOID FEVEJt
"First, the victim of typhoid fever.
It also would seem he was suffering
from the effects of some powerful and
paralyzing poison."
Every part of the body of Colonel
Swope was frozen when the autopsy
was made upon it January 12, said the
witness.
"We first removed the brain," he
testified. "There was no injury to IK"
"Had Colonel Swope died of apo
plexy?" asked At wood.
"He had not."
Dr. Hektoen said the lungs were
slightly congested in the lower part,
the liver small but apparently normal,
while the right kidney showed a few
small depressions. Part of the aorta
had hardened, but none of these afflic
tions was of sufficient consequence to
have produced death," he said.
Answering a hypothetical question in
tended to elicit the probable cause of
Colonel Swope's death, Dr. Hektoen
replied:
"In my opinion the symptoms de
scribed resulted from a convulsion and
paralyzing poison being administered."

LORIWIER BOUGHT
TOGA, SAYS WHITE
Democrat Accuses Illinois Sena
tor of Bribery-Avers He
Was Given $1000
ALSO HELPS OPEN 'JACK POT'
Gets $900 as Share of Melon Cut
When Assemblymen Close
the Session
(Continued from J'aefi On«>
a telegram |om "Wilson requesting him
to attend this meeting.
Representative Shepherd declared he
had been in St. Louis on the occasion
terwd to and met Wilson, Link and
Clark there, as White had previously
stated, but declared that he received
no money there, and, '"rtoermore. that
he got no money at any time for voting
for Lorimer.
BHBPHKKD KXI'UUNS VOTK
Mr. Shepherd explained his vote for
Lorlnw by saying that he obtain. ,1 a
promise that neither of two of his local
political enemies would be appointed
postmaster at Jerscyvllle.
Mrs. Charles L. Luke, widow of one
„r the men said to have been with Wil
son on the date on which White claims
elved the bribe money, was loumi
„i the home of her brother, J. C, Afl
di-rly 4141* Cleveland uvenue, St. Louis.
Mrs Luke was asked, according to the
Tribune, if she knew of her husband
meeting Mr. Wilson in St. Louis on
July 15, 1903. She replied:
"Yes, he did. I don't remember the
exact date, but Mr. Wilson notified him
to meet him at the Southern hotel in
St Louis some day last summer, and
my husband went there and met him,
and wh< ii he returned home he told me
that he got some money from Mr. Wil
son, but he did not say how much."
At this point in Mrs. Luke's state
ment Mr. Adderly interfered, saying
that he did not object to his stater tell
ing all she knew to any investigating
committee, or to a court, but that he
did not think it advisable for her to
talk further at that time.
Attorney General W. H. Stead of
Illinois visited State's Attorney Way
man- office this afternoon, but was
unable to tind him. Later Mr. Stead
said the state of Illinois would do all
in its power to char up the charges
mad.- in connection with the election
of Senator Lorimer. He declared,
however that it would not be possible
for him to do anything until indict,
ments had been returned.
WIIITK'S BWOBM BTATKMKNT
According to Whites sworn state
ment he was Hrst approached by
Browne on -May 24, 1909, while the vot
ing whs going on for a United States
senator. A deadlock had existed for
some time. Browne asked White if
he would vote for Lorimer and White
Bald he could and would. On May 25
they met again and Browne Bald he
would pay $1000 and a share of the
"jackpot" for White's vote for Lori
mer according to the statement. On
ih. next day Lorimer was elected on
joint ballot, many Democrats voting
for him and White was of this num-
White said Browne paid him $100 the
next week at Springfield. Later, in
Chicago White allege*, Browne i>;ii<l
him 150 and then $850. At the time he
received the la»1 sum, White says that
Browne haij 180,000 i" a belt.
en July !•"> White says he met Wil-oti
in the Southern hotel, St. Louis, in
response to a telegram and pceived
1900 as his .share of the "jack pot."
White says he met other representa-
tives in Wilson's room just before he
received his money. According to
White there was general dissatisfac
tion among the members of the legis
lature he met in St. Louis because they
did not get more "jack pot," but that
was explained by the fact that $35,000
was lost In the "jack pot" because of
the failure of certain legislation to go
through.
At Springfield Governor Doneen de
clared that a searching investigation
of the charges is due the P™pH of
Illinois. It is believed that White will
be asked to te'i Ms story to the special
grand jury ordered to report next
Monday.

board of police commissioners, resigned
his office early today, the resignation

a conspiracy and entirely without
foundation in fact.
No successor to the retiring commis-,
Bioner la likely to.be appointed until
after the. return of Mayor McCarthy
from Washington, where he goes to rep-
resent the city In the exposition and
Hetch Hefchy projects. In the mean
time the mayor's secretary, fclmore C.
Lefflnjwell, probably will act as head

having recovered from his illneas. He
there made the statement that his

of police commissioners was only tem
porary In Its nature, and that he
would resume the functions of his office

This declaration of Flannery's was
substantiated by Secretary Charles
Kelly of the police commission, who
said that Flannery would be reap
pointed to his position in the event
that he is cleared of the charge made
against him by the Marin county grand
Joseph Abbott, one of the Sausallto
pool room operators under indictment
for grand larceny and conspiracy,
whose testimony before the grand Jury
was instrumental in securing the In
dictment of Flannery, was released
from custody today on $4000 ball. The
amount was furnished by a surety
company with which, it Is understood,
the accused man's wife deposited deeds
to . cattle property.
Mayor McCarthy Issued a signed
statement this afternoon, declaring
that it has come to his knowledge that
during his Absence in Washington an
attempt will be made to attack him
and his administration with a view to
bringing about a recall election.
Following, as it did, the resignation
of Henry P. Flannery, president of the
board of police commissioners, con
sequent to his Indictment by the Marin
county grand Jury for complicity in
the Sausallto pool room case, the
mayor's statement caused widespread
comment. The city administration
has hoen subjected to no little sharp
criticism, particularly in the police de
partment, and there, have heen Inti
mations that the Flannery incident
would be used to its best advantage by
those who have opposed Mr. McCarthy
and his policies.
