XIII, NO. 2 WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1923 TWENTY-FOUR PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS COUNT APPONYI ATSUNDAY CLUB Veteran Hungarian States- man Will Be Speaker at Services October 14 RENOWNED DIPLOMAT Subject: "Future of Eastern and Central Europe" Count Albert Apponyi, veteran statesman of Hungary, has been secur- ed to speak at the Wilmette Sunday Evening club Sunday evening, Oc- tober 14. Count Apponyi's subject will be "The Future of Eastern and Central Europe." Arrangements for Count Apponyi's Wilmette appearance were completed this week. The Count will address the University club of Chicago on Saturday afternoon, October 13; and the Sunday Evening club the follow- ing day, in addition to filling Evans- ton engagements. He will be in America only six weeks and will de- liver about 10 addresses.

He is character- ized by a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, a resonant voici a«Kl a military bearing. He is thef I6n of Count Georges Apponyi, late chief justice of Hungary. He speaks fluently Hun- garian, German, French, Italian, Eng- lish, and is conversant with Russian and several Slavic languages. "In politics he is a real follower oil Kossuth in liberalism and democracy. For more than -S6 years he was the leader of the Independent Kossuth Party and has been speake? of the house of representatives and minister of education. Although he belongs to the oldest Hungarian aristocfacy, he gave up his seat in the house of magnates in order to sit in the lower house. ( Noted Speaker "His remarkable rhetorical power and his great "fliptomatic skill have won for him a high place in the opin- ion of the world. His great abilities were recognized at the Peace Con- ference in Paris. Prior to the war he shared with two othersâ€"Lafayette and Kossuthâ€"the honor of being the only foreigners to address the U. S. Congress. This he did in 1911. Crash of Cars Breaks Accident-less Period Wilmette had been singularly free from automobile accidents during the past three weeks but the magic spell was broken Wednesday noon when a car driven by Mrs, E. H. Rand, 511 Park avenue, collided head-on with a car driven by Arthur Snelson, 215 N. Michigan avenue, Chicago. The cars met at the corner of Wil- mette and Central avenues. Mrs. Rand was driving west and had started to turn into Wilmette avenue when it collided with the car travel- ing east on Central avenue. The force with tyhich the cars met, locked the bumper oi one car between the tires and fenders of the other. With the aid of several bystanders tlte machines were separated. The drivers were uninjurd and the dam- age to the cars very slight.

MOTOR TRUCKS MUST HAVE MIRRORS-LAW Wilmette officials are soon to di- rect communications to all owners of motor trucks, calling attention to the section of the Motor Vehicle act which requires trucks to be equipped with mirrors so attached that they will afford the drivers a view of the road behind them. Officials in many of the towns and villages situated within trucking radi- us of Chicago already are enforcing this regulation, it is pointed out. The requirement is one of the new provisions added to the Motor Vehicle law at the last session of the state legislature, it is explained, and it is the understanding of officials that a reasonable time would be allowed by state and city authorities to equip trucks before undertaking enforce- ment of this requirment by arrests. Motor truck owners' associations are advising prompt compliance with this regulation, officials explain. The law was enacted in the interests of safety. ALICE E.

Company D, it will be remembered, was Wilmette's "Home Guard" unit during the. World war. Disbanded hortly after the war, the members re- ained its identity by forming an as- sociation which meets at dinner every year when reminiscences of Horns Guard days are "swapped" over the festive board.' Many of Wilmette's most prominent citizens are members of Company D association.

Udell case, pending in local justice courts for several months, is expected to be brought directly before the Cook County Grand Jury in the immediate future, w.th the probal le result that an in- d ctment hold.ng Udell responsible or violation of a section of the Illi- nois Election laws, will be returned without delay. Following a h:arins«f of the case Tuesday evening of this week before Justice Fa'k of Gross Point, the de- fense again played the "change of venue" game. The recuest was granted and the case w3s taken before Magis- trate Boyer at Evanston. Boyer, in turn, refused to assume jurisdiction on the grounds that an affidavit previously presented by the defense, named him as among the "prejudiced justices" of the north shore. Follow- ing Boyer's action, Assistant States Attorney Edwin Spiro forthwith took 'he papers to the states attorney's of- fices and intimated that the case would be promptly brought before the grand jury. Boyer Scores Defense While one might naturally infer that the defense had regarded the Udell case in the light of a farce- comedy, a fit subject for caustic re- marks and alleged scintillating wit- ticisms, there is reason to believe that persons capable* of serious thought are in accord with Magistrate Boyer who, in refusing to assume jurisdic-" tion in the case, Tuesday of this week stated that the very evident intent on [the part of the defense to cause un- warranted delays by means of fre-4 quent changes of venue, was nothing ishort of deplorable. Magistrate Boyer, in a scathing •denunciation of the tactics employed by the defense, declared there was no basis for the assertion in Udell's affidavit, that he was prejudiced in this case. That affidavit, he said, was sworn and presented before he had even been suggested as the presiding justice in the case. Blowing Bubbles Another move on the part of de- fense attorney, Malcolm B. McKer- char,â€"considered by many residents as a deliberate attempt to befuddle the case and "confuse the issues in- volved"â€"came late last week when Udell secured warrants before Justice Falk for the arrest of four Wilmette citizens, including Louis Starkel, F. B. Crossley. James Crossley and Mrs. Percy Skillen, charging them with violation of the Illinois Election laws. McKerchar promised there would be other arrests but, lo, and behold, on Thursday morning the defense ap- peared before Justice Falk and re- quested the warrants be "withdrawn," stating that prosecution would be dropped; an unusual procedure, thought to indicate that the defense had suffered a sudden attack of chilled pedal extremities. The Udell Case The history of the Udell case may be summarized briefly as follows: Bertram Udell was arrested on July 7, 1923, on a warrant charging him with violation of Section 505, Chap- ter 46, of the Illinois state electiott laws, setting forth that he "did publisft «nd circulate printed matter *telativ| |o the candidacy of iKdwafd - Zipf.| Action against Udell came in conf fequence of the alleged publication |y him, just prior fd the April Village |>lection, of a pampblei -entitle^ {The VentjfcMof," toritamfttg an anj Inynous attack upon the character dl the then candidate fo^VJllage presi^ <lent.
